I bought this for my wife's birthday, upgrading from a G5+. Although it's a half in larger physically, since there is no bar across the top or bottom, the screen is actually an inch bigger. It loads Facebook very fast, has good sound, and clear, colorful screen. This, like our other Moto phones, is an excellent value. The shipping was prompt.
