Nice Android phone does all I want it to for half the price of a Samsung. Using wifi (mostly) and Tracfone access, I get what I need on the cheap. Hard drive is big enough for apps, and isn't going to fill up with bloatware right away. I only rated it four stars because it doesn't pretend to be a Five Star phone. I'm very happy with this purchase.

got this phone for my mom as a Christmas / birthday present. it is an amazing phone for the price. my mom is not a techie and she was able to use everything right away. get a memory card and ensure your pictures are saving to it if you have a lot of apps and pictures. operating system is very responsive, cameras are very good and she gets over a day of battery life out of it. if you're looking for a good phone with pretty good specs i'd highly recommend it.

If you have a less expensive smartphone from any of the pre-paid companies this is the phone for you. I put my Cricket SIM card into this unlocked Moto G5 plus and it went right onto the Cricket network. It can go on so many carriers networks. It took a while to get used to the ui of a Moto and a new o.s.but I'm not getting any more hangups and freezing that I had with my 16gb phone that had 2gb ram. That phone came from the carrier. It's a very nice phone.

Bought this to replace a nexus 6p that never worked right. This phone works great and does not break the bank

Think that I'll get used to this phone, but operating system is very google oriented vs. my older Samsung Galaxy's so I'm on learning curve and don't like google email being primary and not being able to manage exchange email in same way.
I also bought a Cricket SIM and Refill card. Sticker over activation number was so baked on that it ripped off part of code on paper below so I have to go into store to exchange. And I ordered this online so I wouldn't have to brave the holiday shopper filled store!

Great budget priced phone packed with many mid tier features. Good looking phone, with beautiful screen. Pocket friendly size, snappy fingerprint reader, 2Ghz octacore 625 Snapdragon processor, 4gb ram, 64gb internal memory expandable to 128gb, running Nougat soon to be upgraded to Oreo. Love this phone. Good call quality, GPS works great, Bluetooth is great, great battery life. It was a great purchase. I would recommend to anyone who wants a good phone.

The phone easily exceeded my expectations. I bought the 64G model, which includes 4G RAM, making this a really fast phone. The setup was a breeze from a prior Android phone; the display is a delight and the fingerprint reader is easy to set up and works like a charm. The Android 7.0 is as pure as you will get with no bloatware and only a few, but worthwhile, Motorola widgets. The Moto Actions add functionality to the fingerprint reader and allow the use of responsive swipes instead of the back arrow and recents buttons, which frees up space on the display itself, as well as the "karate chop" flashlight switch and the wrist twist camera launch from lock screen
One caveat: I don't take a lot of pictures so I really cant say how good the camera is but the pictures that I have taken have been just fine.

Can't Beat this phone for the money

Does everything the flagship phones do as far as I know. Octacore processor works fast. I'm a chauffer and subject to losing phones. Got it on sale for $225 plus tax so if I lose it, not as big a deal as the Galaxy 8 I may have bought. Don't miss my S5 one bit. Only complaint is this keyboard could have larger letters. Very happy with my purchase. Plan to use the same logic when I buy a TCL 4k Roku TV instead of the more expensive brands soon.

Had a Samsung Galaxy smart phone before buying this phone. Quality is the same if not better than the Samsung at 2/3 less cost. Camera is crystal clear and sharp. Well worth the money, will never go back to a Samsung or iPhone.

I have been really happy so far, and can confirm that a 200GB MicroSD XC Card works in it, not just the 64GB one I bought.
Only Shortcomings are;
Needs a slightly faster GPU, even the Adreno 510 would be perfectly nice and place it closer to the S7 in performance
Not Stereo (all phones should offer stereo speakers for crying out loud!)
No OIS or EIS on Stills just 1080p30fps recording.
Splash resistant (ip52/54 equivalent?) I'd like to see a lot more phones meet ip66 or ip67 ratings

There's nothing I don't like about this phone. Good camera, enough memory and also accepts microSDXC card. No bloatware. Battery lasts for days. Great phone for the money! After checking mine out, my husband had to have one, too. (Had to go online and find a vendor for the cases, though.)

The Moto G5 Plus is an awesome phone. Bare-bones Android with 4gb of RAM means this phone runs very smooth. Plenty of storage with 64gb of on-board and an SD slot. Charges fast and the charge lasts all day with quite a bit of usage.
I only have 2 gripes with it;
1) Camera bezel sticks out quite far on the back and without a case it feels like the lens is going to get scratched up easily.
2) Absolutely no notification light. Nothing blinks to let you know you have a message, text, or that the phone is charging when plugged in.
I have no problem dealing without the notification light and I put a good case on the phone so it covers the camera lens, so these are really small gripes.
The fingerprint reader, doubling as a one button navigation also, works flawlessly for me and is going to ruin any other phone that doesn't have it for me in the future.
I went from an LG G4 to this Moto and I'm very happy with my purchase. I have already recommend this phone to friends and family and I will continue to do so.

Great phone for the value and with the black Friday sale made it better. Has 64 gb of storage with 4gb of ram, along with great battery life.
Has a low light mode which works good for taking pictures at night
Cons are finding a case and screen protector for the phone because no one has them in stock on shelves.
Also dont like the way battery isn't easily removable
Overall happy with my purchase, using boost mobile service on phone

That cellphone has good battery life but it freezes sometimes. Good sound and great camera. Unfortunately I tend to loose every Moto cellphones I purchased I can never use their phones for a long time. I won't buy them for myself anymore.
