    Bought this phone for my husband to replace a previous moto play. It's generally faster than his old phone and he says he has better success with detecting and sustaining Wi-Fi connection. Overall it does the job.

    5.2" screen perfect size for me. Really unlocked IMEI in both the Verizon & Pageplus systems so will activate with no problem. Fast, & high resolution screen.( Unlocked phones always seem to work with GSM carriers ATT, Tmobile, etc.)

    I am not a cell phone expert but this phone is great. It is lightweight, pretty fast and I love the gesture features such as shake twice to turn on flashlight. I do wish it had wireless charging but turbo charger is pretty quick

    This phone is great. Great HD screen, no lag, plenty of storage, etc.. I love the stock android without all the skins other phones have. If you are looking for a phone in this price range the Moto G5 Plus will be hard to beat.

    Did everything I wanted, except transmit to TV. Apparently very few phones can do that anymore. I liked the size (I no longer use it, as I changed plans and phones), and it had good features.

    I bough this phone for my parents (over 65 years go age) who are pretty much been introduced to the smart phone world now. It works great for them. It has a good size and the use is pretty straightforward as expected.

    Bought this for my wife, who is pretty picky about her phones. It's been great. Good performance, better than average camera, and none of the bloatware that carrier locked phones have all over them.

    We were looking for a budget Android phone to replace my wife's older phone. We didn't need a $600-900 phone. We are very pleased with it so far. The battery life is good and we are happy with the camera.

    Delivery was prompt. Appears brand new, despite being open box. Connection to carrier without issues . Operates as expected. Fast response. Less bloated than most. Very satisfied with the product at this point.

    Will see how it is after a year...but for now it is good. Need a little time to get use to it. Screen is good sized and easy to read. Not crazy about the mosiac patterns used for the contacts. Seems a bit much.

    If you just want phone and no fancy bells and whistles, this is for you. Easy to use. No endless options like a samsung but for the price and no contract, this phone is sturdy and worth it.

    Overall satisfied with the phone. Plenty of memory and 2.0 GHz processor. Only issue is i'm having some trouble customizing. Can't find any menus to change screen colors or customize notification sounds.

    Two generations later with the Moto G7 series which has kicked off in March of this year; I'm still loving my Moto G5 Plus. As far as I'm concerned, I will ride it until the wheels fall off!

    Good option but no software updates

    I purchased this phone for use as a demo unit for company applications. It was a good value for a newer model of phone when compared to price/benefit of others like Samsung, LG and others. I have noticed that the software has not been updated since I purchased and the latest security and other Android updates are quite old on this phone. I will continue to monitor this but I still feel ok in recommending. Photos are good for a basic phone. Apps open promptly and I don't experience lags or hangs. Buy the Incipio case for this phone. It is an excellent option for $20

    This phone is currently the pinnacle of value, I picked it up for my Aunt who needed an unlocked phone, the first few days I guess it went through an adjustment period. After that, its been working flawlessly.

      Hi Boomer,

      Thanks for your feedback! The phone is very easy to use and no need too much adjustment. The phone is a stock android phone which makes it very easy to use doesn't have much bloatware.
