Awesome Value for the Money
||Posted .I bought this item on 3/25/19: Motorola - Moto E5 Play with 16GB Memory Cell Phone (Unlocked) - Black. Although the specs on this phone arent the highest possible, I am super satisfied with it since I dont do much on cell phones anyway. I just call, text, and surf the web. I have used the 3rd generation (g3) and 4th generation (e4) as well, and know motorola is an awesome brand! the sound quality and lack of bloatware are great features of their products! at $130, its a superb value for the money. it has everything i need and nothing i dont. correct me if im wrong. but this is the cheapest smartphone there is that has acceotable specs. i was thinking of an asus zenfone for 120 dollars. but it has only 1 gb ram and the customer rating was only 3.5. so id have regretted purchasing that phone. btw i dont care that it doesnt have a fingerprint reader since no one else will use this phone. i dont need to worry about it getting lost or stolen since its always on me. overall this motorola moto e5 play is awesome!!!

makes great BackUp phone.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.this entry level unlocked smart phone is a great value. loyal moto phone owner of several models: G4 play, G5+, X4, G6. PLUSES- decent 720hd screen display. moto actions- (Facedown= DND mode, pickup= mute ringing, 3 finger press=screenshot). minimal bloatware. front LED camera flash. MINUSES- low 16gb memory. mediocre camera performance (8mp, 5mp quality). no fingerprint sensor like in other 'prepaid MVNO' models. out of date security version. stuck on Android 8.0, no further updates. OVERALL this E5 play is a great 1st smart phone for kids and mature adults. Good backup phone for GSM service carriers.

decent simple phone, good for the $$$
||Posted .Can't expect too much at this price, but this is a good, simple phone. Got this as a temp phone while my other phone was being repaired. Everything worked fine, clean Android OS was great. The camera was pretty meh and the build feels cheap, but again, what can you expect at the price point? If you can afford to upgrade to a Moto G6 or Moto G6 play (Moto Forge if you're on Cricket), it's probably worth the extra cash. But if you just want the cheapest possible smartphone that is still usable, this phone works.

Solid build, lazy programming
||Posted .This phone has a solid feel of construction to it. I really hate phones, tablets, laptops, etc that are SO thin and flimsy they'd bend in a gentle breeze. This has a removable battery, microSD slot, headphone jack, and all the other things your typical Apple product has long forsaken. This has just enough weight to it to feel comfortable. Now the downside. Seems the folks at Motorola have forgotten how to code. My previous phones (Moto Droid Razr HD, Casio C721) were able to do voice dialing through my bluetooth headset entirely on their own. THIS unit needs to use some bloated Google app that insists on being wide open in it's full Snoop-On-Me/Hack-Me mode, and likely demands to have Mobile Data always on (I have mobile data disabled 99.9999% of the time). There's no excuse to remove standalone voice dialing capability. Also, if you use a third-party Launcher, various built-in apps will not be seen OR accessible. So you are stuck using the Moto Launcher (I've grown to prefer the Microsoft Launcher on all my Android devices).

A good reliable basic phone
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.An older model without all the bells and whistles. Decent battery life with excellent capability for battery change. Needs a memory upgrade. Maybe a little slower processing speed but I am pretty slow myself so it's ok

PERFORMS AS ADVERTISED -- GOOD VALUE!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.With my very basic requirements (...phone, text, email & limited internet search/research) this is quite a step UP from an old Windows based phone I've used for years. Speed and features seem topnotch to me & battery capacity means going a couple of days (at least) without having to charge. I have a habit of putting the phone in my back pocket & I've noticed that sliding the screen over Velcro there has scratched it slightly...kinda surprised at that. Also, I've lost my data connection once & had to reboot to fix...but, every "computer" I've ever owned and used has required an occasional reboot! I LIKE the E5 Play.

Not quite a major upgrade from Moto E4
||Posted .Was very happy with an earlier model, the Moto E4. But the screen shattered making it still usable, but hard and dangerous to use. I’ve only switched my SIM card and phones for less than a week...but it’s not quite a “new and improved” model, so far....I probably would have purchased another E4 if it was still available. However, grateful that Best Buy usually offers older models along the newest ones, for a comparatively lower prices.

Great smart phone.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.The Moto E5 play smart phone takes great pictures, the sound quality when playing music is great and loud enough that you don't have to plug into a headset or external speakers.
