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.

    Excellent Phone Compared to Android/iPhone

    I am coming from a Samsung S4, but have bought numerous budget and pricier phones for other members of my family. Recently I purchased and iPhone 6 for my daughter for example. I was little skeptical when first considering this phone as it is considered budget, but in every way it has exceeded my expectations. The big surprises for me is 1) no Samsung/Apple bloatware. You are getting minimal preinstalled apps and very close to vanilla Android OS. This alone is a big plus as I don't have to deal with apps that I never used and are un-installable. 2) The phone is fast with a beautiful display. Maybe not the fastest/best out there, but more than good enough for my purposes 3) The finger-print scanner is surpisingly, well awesome, and the Moto gestures are a very nice touch. I like this phone so much, my wife will be upgrading her phone to a moto g5 (or whatever) later as well. If you are in the market for an Android phone I would not hesitate to recommend this phone.

    Only thing this phone is missing is nfc. Other than that it makes for a solid primary and a great back up phone.

    For my first smart phone I did extensive research and decided on this model based on many, many reviews. I found a sale here for $239 for the 64mb model and took the plunge. So far I love the phone! First off, it's a great phone - call quality is excellent. As for the "smart" features - I'm still learning but love it so far. The camera quality is great. Apps are easy to load and use. I have "butt dialed" a few times with the phone in my pocket and don't know how that happened but will find out some day. Importantly, I immediately took this to the UK and it worked perfectly there (T-Mobile user). There are not too many case and screen protector options at BB or any brick and mortar stores, but plenty on Amazon or EBay. I would make this purchase again.

    I can buy 4 of these Motos for the price of one newly released Samsung or iPhone. 64 gigs and a micro sd slot, something the big boys just won't give you. Plenty of room for apps, music, and movies... whatever. It's been a bit of a learning curve after my olf iPhone 5, but that's to be expected.

    My premium smart phone bit the dust and I needed one immediately, so I bought the Moto G5 plus as a temporary replacement, but this phone is amazing! It does everything my expensive phone did, and cost less than half the price! I'll be keeping this one for a while. Awesome phone.

    Has to pay $10 for Sprint Sim card to transfer service from old phone to new phone. So far it works great (data, voice, text). If you are conscious about the cost saving standpoint ($250 for unlock Moto G5 plus vs $800 unlock Samsung S8) plus freedom choices to pick your own carrier then you should consider to buy this unlock phone. If you are also an average user for an email, netflix, listening music, social network apps, youtube, I would recommend you to buy it. Now as far the product life cycle goes, I hope it would be last for several years. My old Samsung S4 that I bought in 2013 is still working but it has ran out of the internal storage memory and it does run slowly as well... For transferring the contents from your old phone to new one, I use an Switch Mobile Transfer app to transfer all contacts, pictures, and videos. It will do a trick. Good luck with your purchase.
