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).

    This phone doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles, but it does what I need it to do: make calls, send texts, surf the internet, take pictures. It does all of those things really well so far and I'm very happy with the look, function and price. Why spend an extra $400-500 for the Samsung or iphone when I can buy this phone?

    I have had this phone for several weeks, and I think it is excellent. Similar specs to the Galaxy S8 for less than half the price. With iPhones starting at $1k now, you'd be a fool to purchase the flagship phones when one like this one goes for < $300.

    Don't waste your money on a Samsung or Pixel, this is the best pure Android phone and it is a fraction of the cost. Compare the specs and you will see it's the most bang for your buck. I will buy another Motorola for my next phone but that could be a while because this one still works great.

    Motorola G series sets the standard for budget phones. They have terrific performance, good camera, good battery life and even expandable storage. Since they're unlocked, they have worked with my T-mobile, Simple mobile and Mint mobile accounts. Would buy again!

    The phone has been reliable and was a steal for 64GB. The best thing is it is unlocked giving the user flexibility with carriers. I would suggest this phone as a more economical alternative to the high priced phones today. It was rated in the top 5 on the market giving users a more economical option than the typical brands.

    Don't like spending a lot on phones, this replaced an old Nexus 5, which I liked. The Moto G 5 plus looks and feels very nice to hold and use. Works like a charm, and I especially notice good battery life. The value here is unquestionable. Can't imagine anything being worth more than twice the price.

    Great phone. Good battery life, love the Moto gestures. Almost stock Android no bloatware or garbage pre installed. Good (not great) camera. For the price you could buy much worse phones. Fast snappy processor. Would totally recommend this phone to anyone on Cricket looking for a good unlocked phone.
