    I have been very pleased with the phone, especially for the price I paid. The interface is easy to use, cases are easy to find, and it charges quickly and has a long battery life. I even bought the same one for my daughter.

    I would give a five-star rating to this phone, but.. Overall, good quality, good battery life, and it matched most of my expectations. But, why Lenovo decided to disable the casting option, why?? Even my first gen Moto was able to cast to tv, this one does not! They forgot inter-connected devices are the future. Disabling direct casting is a very poor decision and that's why it got 4 stars out of 5.. Still, good value for the buck!

    This camera is fast, shoots decent pictures, has fingerprint sensor and doesn't have bloatware. It's more than capable for everyday use. With the relatively low price and the Motorola nameplate, it's quite an excellent value.

    This phone is a great device for the price. If you are not a power user, the 32 gb storage is more than adequate. I have been using Moto g phones since the Moto g3, and am a big fan, as these phones have never failed me. I am a big fan of their reliability. The big change for the Moto g5 plus over the previous generations is the metal body. It makes the phone feel premium, and on par with most of the 'flagship phones' out there. I have T-Mobile service and live in Southern California. This phone is very fast! On par with the iPhone 6s, which I also have, and occasionally use. However, I prefer my Moto g5 because it does everything the iPhone does equally well, and is much more reasonable, so I don't fear losing it as much as I fear losing the iPhone, for which I paid almost $600.

    This phone is for my high school kid and it is a great phone for the money. I think it is as good as my Samsung and Apple high-end phones. It has all the basic features including a finger print reader and most important it takes a micro SD card and two sim cards. Why pay hundreds of dollars more for the latest high-end phone?

    My old Samsung broke suddenly and I went and bought MOTO G 5th Gen phone without much research. I have to say, I'm more happy about it. This phone is not for those who want to invest $700 in an Iphone. It offers most of the features as other smart phones except with slightly lesser feel of it. Here are some of the Pro's and Cons. Pro's: Great screen and quick response on unlocking the screen Battery life is awesome Camera and video mode have some cool features Con's Texting is a little difficult. Especially attaching contacts is tricky Too sensitive to touch while on call. You have to consciously lock the screen when you get a call or dial a number Photo organizing could be a little better. Overall, a great buy for the price.

    I have never used anything other than a Windows 10 smart phone (other than "bricks" before getting a smart phone). After Microsoft's recent announcement of basically getting out of the mobile market, I felt forced to switch to an Android phone. I got used to it rapidly, and it runs all of my favorite Microsoft Apps e.g. Office and Cortana.

    Moto G5 plus is easy to use. I'm able to use my phone two days without having to charge with plenty of life left over. It's a bit larger than I wanted for a phone but expected due to the larger battery. Priced right too.

    Great phone for the price. Exceeds the performance of my Moto X 2nd gen and battery lasts all day. Motorola screens are also nearly indestructible in my experience; which is especially helpful if you're a klutz
