Bought this as a phone to hold me off till the Pixel 2 XL comes out. Sold my Unlocked Samsung S8 for this and it's crazy but I like it more than the S8! It's not as fluid but it stutters a lot less and to me the front facing camera is much MUCH better. It doesn't have the nice 18.5x9 ration but it feels like the premium phones from 2 years ago. Either way, I don't think anyone will be disappointed with this phone.

I brought this phone as a long time fan of Motorola phones (specifically the Moto G series). As a previous owner of the 1st Moto G, Moto G3, and Moto G4 Play, this phone delivered on my expectations. In this review, I'm going to go truly in detail about what I like and don't like this phone. Let's begin with why this phone is different from the standard edition of G5 Plus. The Moto G5s Plus is similar to the Moto G5 Plus with it's line up of software features. But their are some clear differences that separate the two phones hardware wise.
PROS: First of all, the camera experiences are vastly different. Where the G5 Plus had the one 2 MP with Dual Autofocus Pixels, this phone has dual 13 MP rear cameras allowing you to get more depth in your photos. Not to mention how the front camera is 8 MP (the same amount found on most phones around this price range or lower). Because this phone is a Moto G, you're getting a near stock android experience right of the box (sans Moto Actions and Moto Camera). The phone performs great. It's 32 GB of ROM lets's me download as much apps as I like while the octa core CPU lets them all coexist together without any lagging or shuddering. Another cool benefit of this phone is that is comes with Turbo Charging and it's own "turbo charger" that allows me to charge my phone to 100% within half an hour. While some may consider the use of a microUSB port over USB Type C a con, I consider it a pro. I get to keep my 6ft and 10ft cable a little while longer instead of having to pay for some new backup cables. The metal casing of the phone and the wet repellant coating gives the phone a nice premium feel to it that makes it very pleasing to hold. Which is great considering you're more than likely going to have this phone on you most of the time.One last benefit to this phone that I want to bring up that most reviewer haven't is the fact that Moto still has FM Radio available on the phone. In a world where data is king, it's nice to know that if communications are unavailable during a hurricane, I still have a way to stay informed about what's going on.
CONS: While I don't consider the charging point a con, I do consider the placement of the phone's speaker rather disappointing. With the Moto G4 before it having the speaker being front speaking, I find it odd that Motorola would opt to have the speaker placed at the bottom of the phone this time around. Luckily Moto decided to keep their 3.5mm headphone jack jack like they kept their microUSB port so I'm not stuck listening to audio at a weird angle. Witch leads me to my next point, the placement of the fingerprint scanner is at the bottom of the phone instead of the back of the phone. Moto could change what direction your audio is playing but not where you place your finger to unlock the phone? Why do thisi Motorola??? Finally, there's no NFC available on this phone which I agree with other reviewers as a strong valid con working against this device. The lack of NFC on this phone really brings you out of the premium feel that Moto created for the Moto G5s Plus. Reminding you that this phone is only the mid-ranger of Motorola and not the underdog flagship device it once was when Moto was rebranding itself back in 2013.
All in all, I still rated this phone 4/5 stars. Even with these cons, it doesn't outweigh all the pros that this phones delivers. If you're looking for a good phone that's under $300, I could not recommend this phone strongly enough!
BONUS: this phone uses nano SIM cards. If you're switching from the a phone that used Micro SIM cards (like the Moto G4 Play) then you'll need to contact your service provider to request a new one.

Poor Quality - Lasted 3 months - Back to Samsung

I purchased the Moto G5S Plus in February and used a wallet case. In May it slipped from my hand and the screen shattered. I took it in and the repair would have been approximately $200 on a $235 device. I don't think so. I've had my Samsung Note for five years in the same style case and have dropped it a few times overs the years and not even a scratch. The Moto G5S Plus looks like a decent well built phone, but after a few weeks of use, much of it's performance was a dissappointment. It's a bit glitchy at times and photo quaity is poor. I was willing to accept those drawbacks because I liked the feel and for the price, the screen resolution was great. But overall, I am regretful and disappointed in the Moto G5S Plus and am replacing it with better quality device.

Hi MrsD, sorry you are disappointed. Lags and freezing are sometimes caused by running apps in the background, use your recent apps button to close apps you are no longer using. It is also a good practice to restart the device periodically (at least every 48 hours) to clear out buffers and memory that may lead to intermittent issues. Also, regarding your concern with the photo quality, are you taking those photos outdoor? What camera app are you using? Feel free to send us an email to [email protected] sharing more details. We are more than glad to assist. -Anne

I've never been a flagship phone guy, I always look for the best value. When I read the specs on this phone I thought fantastic deal. Well, it mostly is for me. I love the 5.5 screen, very vibrant. Three GB of RAM seem enough. Everything works snappy, even with multiple apps open. I haven't noticed any heat while using or charging. It has a quality feel, especially coming from a G4 Play that I was really disappointed with. I was a little put off by the lens attached to the back, but a good case fixes that. The sound is good for a phone. Nougat 7.1 along with Moto Action really shine.
I am disappointed with the camera, I hope camera updates will fix this. I can't seem to take decent pics with it, the camera in my G4 worked better. I hope they add NFC in a future update as well. Not a deal breaker for me, but the overseas models have it. If those items are corrected, this phone would be worth the full retail of $280. I got it for the intro price of $230 & I'm happy.

I love everything about this marvelous phone. It is well-built, has an excellent screen, takes fabulous pictures, and has outstanding battery life. The fingerprint sensor works very well. I could not be happier with this unit.
I bought the 32GB model, which is more than enough working memory, and supplemented it with a 128GB SD card for picture and music storage. I plan to buy a second phone for my wife.
A couple of tips: (1) When you buy accessories for the phone, such as a case, make sure it is for the G5S plus. Motorola has a confusing numbering system, so know that this is an entirely different phone from others that have similar numbering (e.g., G5, G5 plus, and G5S) and the accessories are not interchangeable. (2) Purchasing the phone from Best Buy has the advantage that it is not weighed down with a bunch of useless apps as it would be if you obtained the phone through your carrier or from Amazon.
A:AnswerFor photos and videos, you can buy a microSD card. A 64gb card costs only about $25. Insert one into the phone and you'll almost never have to delete photos and videos. A 128gb card is also less than $70 I believe, and you get a lot more storage. The 32gb version should be plenty for your everyday apps unless you wanna play lots of heavy games.
A:AnswerHi tennisrdog,
This phone supports Voice activation as the device has Google assistant as its Virtual assistant. You can also connect the phone to Android Auto in order to use the phone to answer a phone call while inside your car.

A:AnswerNo adds on locked screen or unlocked screen. Its a good phone. This was an unlocked phone (able to contact to different providers) - my Moto G5s is now connected to AT&T, my wife has an unlocked Moto G5 and hers is now connected to Verizon. When RVing it helps having the option of two providers.
A:AnswerI have been asking the same question. That's what keeping me from buying one. If you look back through the questions they gave me a generic answer about this two weeks ago. I have been following a thread that looks like the 1804 are the ones with the problem not the USA model 1806 . They take and have them fixed Two weeks later they have the same problem again!! If the camera does't work on this phone is worth $25.00 about the same price I paid for my flip phone. Until they come on here verify the have it fixed I wouldn't buy it!!! There are to many other phones out there that don;t have these problems.
A:AnswerLeo,
Yes, the Moto G5s Plus comes with a Motorola app for FM Radio. Headphones are used as a antenna, but it can operate without them.
Hope that helps.
