Moto G5 Plus vs Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017) vs Nokia 6: specs comparison

If you're in the market for a new mid-range Android phone, 2017 looks to be a year full of great options. Three of the options that certainly deserve your attention are the Moto G5 Plus, Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017), and Nokia 6. All three handsets are built around metal frames, offer 1080p displays, fingerprint scanners, at least 3 GB of RAM, and octa-core processors. Moreover, they have good cameras.

The Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017) is the most compact phone of the bunch, and the Nokia 6 is the largest - but that's no surprise, as the Nokia model sports a 5.5-inch display, whereas both the Moto G5 Plus and the Galaxy A5 have 5.2-inch screens.

Each of these phones has strengths and weaknesses. For example, the Galaxy A5 (2017) is about $150 more expensive than the other two, and runs Android Marshmallow. On the other hand, the A5 is dust- and water-resistant, and is already available to buy in the US via Amazon (more exactly, for now, only the international model can be purchased).

The Moto G5 Plus likely has the best rear camera (with 4K video - absent on the other two phones), while the Nokia 6 is obviously better if you need more screen estate. Both the Moto G5 Plus and the Nokia 6 should be released in the coming months in the US, although, at the moment, we don't know if the Nokia device will be officially offered here.

Take a look at the detailed specs comparison below. If you were to choose, which of these three handsets would you rather get?
