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.

    Like any thing new, time will tell as to the performance and quality of this device . Cost was low...I refuse to pay $$$ for something whose life span is 2 to 4 years at best .

    Very full-featured phone that does all the things you really want for much lower price than the highly advertised phones. For those that don't need endless gimmicks but want solid performance, a good camera and you don't have a bunch of bloated apps pre-installed. If you are looking to show off the latest fads look elsewhere and you'll pay for them. If you want a good phone look here.

    This is an unlocked phone that works with all carriers in the US. Some phones are CDMA and work with Verizon or Sprint only. Some are GSM only and work with T-mobile and AT&T only. This phone works with them all. The specs are nice for $300 dollars or $230 if you are going with less memory. The moto g5 plus can compete with the Samsung phones and iPhones for half the cost.

    This version is a great phone. it is fast and has little lag to it. I miss the stereo speakers as in my gen 2 and the camera is good but i don't feel that it has as clear a shot as in previous versions. I get signal in most places where other phones with same provider does not get. No real complaints over all it is a great phone for the price. I would recommend this to those looking for a good budget phone.

    My old Nexus 5X died and I wanted a reasonably priced replacement. BB store recommended Moto G5. I have been very pleased with it so far. Biggest surprise is how amazingly long battery lasts. Nexus 5x could never make it through the day without recharge. G5 has had no problem at all for entire day. I am not a power phone use, but I could not be happier with it so far.

    Phone seems to work perfectly, camera is great. There were reviews complaining about the camera in low light but I think it works quite well. I am so happy no to have all kinds of pre-loaded useless apps. Though I don't like google photos. Like other google apps, it's very invasive and you need to do some exercises to work around it. But the physical device is a winner!

    In my opinion its a cheaper version of the Samsung Galaxy S8. Just compare the specs. I like it and have yet to have a problem with it.

    I decided to switch to a unlocked Moto G5 plus after using a ZTE for years. I instantly became a Motorola fan. The phone is easy to use and runs smoothly. Great camera. I would suggest looking online for tips and tricks if this is your first Motorola. Overall, it is well worth the price and without all the added bloatware of other phones.

    I recently bought a new phone that was a "flagship" model but because of an accident had to get another new phone. Being somewhat frugal I didn't want to spend top dollar another top end phone and decided to give this one a try. For the money ($299) I couldn't be happier. It has more internal memory than my last phone and seems to run just as smoothly.
