And if you want a more customizable downtime, you can choose to create your own rule. What else? The G5 Plus also lets you decide if a particular mode is important enough to override the morning alarm.

2. Lift to stop ringtone

Once, I was part of a meeting where the phone of one of my co-workers started ringing. Out of sheer nervousness, the poor guy couldn't find the right button to silence him. Well, it could happen to any of us. But then, what good is a phone if it doesn't give you the solution in a jiffy?

The Moto G5 Plus' "Pick up to Stop Ringing" feature does just that. All you have to do is activate the settings and the next time the phone rings, just lift it to silence it. Pretty cool, if you ask me.

3. Enable Adaptive Storage

The most heartbreaking message in any smartphone is the one that informs about “low internal storage”, which means you have to ditch apps, pictures, etc.

So the next time you see the same old message, don't despair. However, make sure the memory card is a high speed class 10 SD card, otherwise your phone will slow down.

4. One button to do everything

One of the strong points of the Moto G5 Plus is the one-button navigation. This not only means you have a single button to accomplish most tasks, but you also get a larger screen size without the navigation bar.

Using this mode, you can lock the screen, bring up the Google Assistant, go back a few pages, or swipe to bring up the "recent" apps menu. To enable this feature, go to the Moto app> Actions and enable the one-button navigation feature. And in the process, say goodbye to

To enable this feature, go to the Moto app> Actions and enable the one-button navigation feature. And in the process, say goodbye to on-screen software buttons.

5. Customize notifications

Another cool feature of the Moto G5 Plus is the display settings in the Moto app. When enabled, this feature allows you to check notifications, time, and battery level without waking the device completely.

Besides that, it also lets you block notifications and customize the amount of content shown in notifications.

Beyond blocking, you can even choose the level of detail you want to show on the lock screen. For the privacy-conscious user, the hide sensitive notification is an added boon.

6. One-handed mode

With its 5.2-inch screen, the Moto G5 Plus is surely a "hands-on" phone as it feels great in the hands. However, that hasn't deterred manufacturers from providing users with a one-handed mode, aka the Swipe to Minimize Screen . For those of us looking for a smaller screen, this can be easily achieved through the Moto app.

Once it is activated from the app, it can be activated by simply swiping up, left or right on the screen and the screen will be a small screen which will display depending on the direction in which you slip.

There is a catch, however. For this to work, one-button navigation must be disabled.

7. Launch camera faster

So how fast do you need to access the built-in camera app? As fast as Flash? If so, I guarantee the twist feature will be your favorite. All you have to do is turn your phone to launch the camera and bam; you are ready to click.

Another standout feature of the camera is the focus lock which, as the name suggests, allows you to lock focus on an object even if it moves. To activate it, press and hold the screen until a small padlock appears on the screen.

8. Turn on the flash light in a flash

Another gadget of the Moto G5 Plus is to turn on the torch in a jiffy. All you have to do is flip your wrist (or do the karate) twice. And a similar action will turn it off again.

9. Adjust system UI tuner

Unlike a few devices (like the OnePlus 3) that do away with the System UI tuner, thankfully the Moto G5 Plus didn't pull off such stunts. The System UI tuner allows you to change certain features such as the status bar, do not disturb mode or power notification controls.

What else? You can enable split-screen mode simply by swiping up from the "recent" apps button.

Just in case the system UI tuner is not visible in the settings menu, press the "Settings" icon (in the notification drawer) for a few seconds until you see the message " Congratulation ! System UI Tuner has been added to Settings”.

10. Improved Sim Board

The G5 Plus' SIM tray can be called the best of three worlds if such a term exists. The G5 Plus sports a slightly improved version of the SIM tray – it holds two SIM cards and a memory card together.

Unlike most other hybrid SIM card holders which allow you to choose either 2 SIM cards or one SIM card and one memory card, this gives others good value for money.
