Customers are saying

Customers appreciate the Moto G Plus (5th Gen) for its affordability, especially during the holiday season. They are also impressed with the camera quality and the excellent battery life. The phone's storage capacity and unlocked status are also well-received. However, some customers have expressed concerns about the lack of NFC, which limits the use of Android Pay, and the speaker volume, which they find inadequate.

    This is definitely one of the best value for money phones out there. Pros: 5.2 inch screen size is perfect, with the option of removing the nav bar below by using actions on the fingerprint sensor. Brilliant. 64 GB option available. Works fast for average use. Good screen. Cons: No NFC for Android Pay. No other problem yet noticed.

    This phone experience is smooth, has a great camera (although sometimes a bit shaky) and if available at a very reasonable price for an unlocked phone. Volume during a phone call is a bit low, however - hoping an update will correct that soon as it seems to be a common problem with this phone.

    So far the only drawback is the cumbersome method of adding ring tones. Battery lasts a long time between charges and sound quality is awesome.

    My son wanted to escape iOS and we chose this phone as a mid priced Android model that didn’t need a contract. He’s been very happy with it for most of a year. It has great battery life, often lasting all day even though he’s using it almost constantly. And the Quick Charge helps a lot when it runs down.

    I gifted this for my mom who is not active for full day and uses phone for couple of hours a day. Pros: 1. Best value for money 2. Solid body - takes small drops 3. Decent battery life Cons: 1. Software/hw issues like slowness rarely 2. Not a great design If you are looking for a budget phone then this is the one.

    Moto has always amazed me with its phones at the $200-300 price range. G5 plus is again a great phone in this category, probably the best.

    This is a pretty decent phone for the price. I had the Moto x pure previous to this phone and they are fairly on par with each other with was a bit of a disappointment that in 3 years Moto's mid unlocked phone hasn't improved alot. The camera is much better, the screen is worse processor is slower but has more threads graphics is worse and battery is better.

    I am very happy with this phone after over a month of heavy usage. Performance is great. Battery life and recharge has been better than expected. Only changes would be fingerprint reader on back middle and headset plug on top, but that is personal preference. Other comparable unlocked phones are significantly higher price.

    Purchased the 64GB version of Moto G5 Plus a year ago at a very attractive price of $189. The phone is spiffy and handles all functions/apps with no problem. The camera quality, though decent, is just OK. The other weakness is its lack of NFC.. But hey for $189, I could overlook these minor imperfections.

    I have had the 1st gen motoG and I used it for 4 years with no problems until I bought the motoG4 Plus. I've had the motoG4 Plus for a year and havent had any problems so far. My wife wanted a new phone so I bought her this one because of the good history I've had with Motorola phones. She said she loves it so far and I don't think I'll buy anything other than Motorola. For the price of the MotoG, it has a lot of features that a more expensive phone would have.
