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 summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged).

    The best in near stock Android

    For the price, this is an unbeatable value. The camera is as good as the flagship phones of a couple years ago and the finger print scanner controls are a great novelty. The phone runs very smoothly. My only quibble is that conveniences that are generally added into stock Android after the fact by manufacturers are missing such as the ability to set custom ringtones for specific callers.

      Hi Larrygorn,

      Thanks for your genuine feedback about the phone's camera, fingerprint feature, performance. We appreciate your feedback. By the way, you can check if there's any third party app that can enable you to set custom ringtones for specific callers.

    For an Unlocked Ph, this is The BEST for the $

    My 1st digital cell phone was (after 2 analog prepaid phones) a Motorola Razer, it lasted yrs 6-8 til I couldn't find replacement batteries for it (which is the only thing I don't like about smart phones). I bought my next 2 cheap Smart Phone (due to hard times over a 2 yr period) just to get by & have a cell phone (but still on a Talk & Text only plan). Once I upgraded my ph plan & started using the Internet, 4 mos later, my 2nd phone's battery got fat from charging (1st from drop damage). So I've spent twice the $ cost each Smart Phone I've purchased in upgrading (cause of better times). Now that I am back to a Moto phone, I am hoping my phone last as long as my 1st Moto. I am in my early 60's and learning how to navigate the phone is different from the two Blu smart phones I had , like the driving difference between left hand car's & right hand cars (USA vs UK). This phone was only released 2 months before I bought it. Reviews were mixed in my study to purchase, but with the help of my extended warranty, I have overcome the troubles of understanding & use of my phone (but still have challenges). The ONLY Troubles I have is my service provider crying the blues I didn't by a locked phone. I sometimes have to go back and forth from them to Best Buy to get my problems resolved, due to the fact I also use a wireless headset & smart watch (needs by road law's & warehouse work, where neither one wants to see the phone in my hand). But after several months of use, and knowing my phone was made by a very reputable company (Motorola) w/Lenovo ownership (the computer cell phones use), I have VERY High hopes this phone will last me for as many yrs as my last Motorola.

    $240 for 64gb/4gb ram

    Got it at $240. Very fast interface. Smooth like butter. There is black bars when taking video using default camera app. You will notice it when panning the camera. However, if you use google camera app from the play store, the black bars do not appear. So there are some softwares issues with the default camera app. Other than that, this phone is incredible fast and has very good battery life. The single front speak is quite good too.

    If you are looking for a budget phone with a decent performance then this is the phone. 1. Battery - stays for a day with internet and video use. 2. Display - if you are a flagship user then this doesn’t match but in budget models this looks real good. 3. Performance - no lags till now. 4. Camera - pictures looked good but video was not that great. The only issue that I saw is that sometimes it’s getting heated when out to charge. Overall satisfied.

    Bought this to use on ATT network in Northern NJ area....great phone for the price...however note that Best Buy sells the American version that is single SIM...it's advertised as Dual-SIM but this is Single Nano Sim with no NFC...the network bands/antennas could be better in my area because when you're on 3g, it appears as H on the phone and i'm not sure if that's 3g or 2g but it is slow....but no real complaints for an UNLOCKED phone with flagship comparable specs for $299

    Having previsously owned iPhones and Samsungs, I would say this device is right in line with these brands, though MUCH cheaper. The 64 Gb gives you a lot of flexibility and the way it functions overall is quite smart, better in many ways than the other 2 brands. However, a minor aggravator is that it does not show badges (that little red dot with the number of unread messages), though there are workarounds for this. GPS is really fast and precise, great buy overall.

    If you're into unlocked phones reasonably priced, this is a steal! RAM and storage are top notch and the price is affordable. No major annoying flaws after a week of use. Great little phone!

    I got one for me and one for my wife on Black Friday. It's a great phone at a great price even when it's not on sale. At the Black Friday price it was a no-brainer.

    This is a budget smartphone when you look at the $299 price tag. When you look at the features and capabilities of this phone it compares to the iPhones and Samsung phones which all cost twice as much as this one. This phone has the ability to use a microSD card to expand the internal storage and the 64GB model also has 4GB of RAM which makes this phone fast and responsive. Definitely worth getting.
