Been using the G5 for the past few weeks. Solid battery and fair screen.
Getting used to the OS after using fruit phone for five years is a nice challenge. So far I like how it merges fields and allows for more choices, like color, screen layout, and gestures. Really hated fruit phone need to turn on phone and then turn on the flashlight. Haptic touch response is nice.
The video playback is good. Camera not wonderful just fair. Focus seems to be an issue. Flash seems slow from click to pic.
Don't and won't pay for these mega overpriced smartphones. All seemed flawed. This is just fine and I can buy one each year and ignore the morons looking for the top phone now that goes on sale in 6 months.
Speaker is fair and headset clarity is okay. Cases are few and hard to find in stores. Feel & finish are fair. Like the headphone jack. Improves audio. Good poor man's smartphone.

This phone is REALLY good on battery, and the cameras are great. Galaxy S7 type of photos and video! Get this phone, and save lots of money!

super fast. 4G LTE on T-mobile worked without a glitch. Pure Android with minimal bloatware. great price, not sure why people go for Samsung when phones like this are almost half the cost

This phone can work on any network - unlocked for all. The camera is good. The battery life is excellent. The screen is detailed and big. Almost too big for my liking and pocket.

Pretty good, but nothing spectacular.
If all you need is a simple smartphone to get you through, this is probably the one to get.
I did have to factory reset it once, as it stopped ringing whenever anyone called, regardless of the settings. Luckily that fixed whatever was ailing it.
The camera is just OK.

Purchased this phone on sale for $239. Excellent price considering its specs and the 64gb internal memory. Photo quality very good. Phone works excellent, fast and is quite smart.

Sure there are phones out there with faster processors, better cameras and all kinds of bells and whistles, but are they worth it? I don't think so. The Moto G is a fantastic balance of value and features. It will handle most anything you throw at it and look good while doing it.

Has everything you need. Good camera, good processor and memory for surfing the internet. I love the idea of an unlocked phone not filled with apps you don't want or need.

An Excellent Android Smartphone at a Good Price

I love this phone. It replaces an aged Samsung Galaxy S4 which ran out of storage space. I love everything about it:
1) looks
2) speed
3) performance
4) loads of storage space (64GB version w/ 64GB miniSD card)
5) 4GB of memory
6) Beautiful display
7) Almost no crapware preloaded
However, there are a few minor exceptions:
1) The back of the phone is really slippery, so get a good case for it since you will likely drop it at some point (I dropped mine the first day).
2) Transitioning from earlier Samsung enhanced Android to a pretty much stock Android 7.0 Noughat takes some getting used to but it is still overall much better.

Owned for a few weeks now- replaced a broken Samsung Galaxy S7 edge. I have nothing but good things to say about this g5. My one and only wish is that it had inherant video calling capability, but that's a small wish overall. I will never go back to buying the overpriced samsung phones after owning one of these.

This phone has been great. I now own two. Great battery life. Very little down side. (No NFC or 802.11ac) But, for less than half the price of the Samsung Gal 7, I'm ok with it.

I love this phone, very fast. The only negative is keep in mind the camera is not high end, meaning in door / low light pictures are not great. But can't beat it for the price.

Everything on the phone looks and works very well. My only concern is that the camera sticks out from the case, but I bought a protective case to put on the phone and that pretty much solved the problem. I haven't had the phone long enough to learn all the features, but am very happy with it thus far.

This phone is truly amazing, very fast and I'm so glad I caught it on a black Friday sale. The screen resolution is very sharp, high quality. I also appreciate the memory capacity. I highly recommend this phone.

This phone is awesome. There's a lot of quality built into it for the price. You'd have to spend two to three times more money to get something better, and the margin for better is very small. The camera is wonderful, taking sharp well light-balanced photos. The auto-focus is blazingly fast. No chance of missing your shot. It also has a lot of security features, which give you the option to use or not. Some have said the voice through the speaker sounds a bit tinny, but I couldn't tell. The maximum volume setting could be a bit higher, but the sound quality was good. I highly recommend it...you won't be disappointed.

I upgraded from a Samsung Galaxy S5 (16GB) and let me tell you, this was the best decision I ever made. This phone doesn't have a lot of bloat ware and it runs much much faster and better than my S5. I've been very happy with performance and call quality so far.
The fingerprint reader on this phone works amazingly well too which makes it easy to use in the car so I don't need to look at the phone while driving (playing audio books, etc).
We actually bought 4 of these and upgraded everyone in the house for about $1000....and we're selling our old phones for ~$500 so we really can't complain.
