Customer Ratings & Reviews

The phone is fast, responsive, feels great in the hand, has a premium look and feel, and has plenty of storage. What more could you ask for?! Well, I would ask for NFC since that makes phone setup so much easier, not to mention how much I'm going to miss being able to use Android Pay for more than a card storage app. However, I still think this phone deserves the high rating because you are not going to have everything packed into such an inexpensive but glorious package. I highly recommend this for anyone who doesn't want to drop a small fortune on a new smartphone.

This phone is an excellent value for an unlocked phone. You can take it to any carrier. It works as good as my Galaxy S8, and has just as much storage. Would recommend this to anyone who wants to untether themselves from a carrier's contracts.

So far I love this phone. 64 gig of storage, quad core processor and 4 gig of RAM. Operation is smooth and fast and it comes without all of the bloated crapware that major carrier's phone have. Almost just pure Android. The display is clear and bright and battery life is phenomenal! Sure, it doesn't have some of the more sophisticated bells and whistles of much more expensive phones but most of those bells and whistles are just fluff in the end. The only thing I do miss is the ability to be a wifi hotspot. Great phone at a great price. Highly recommended.

Battery life is great Little to no bloatware Good moderate size screen. Not too small, not too big Bright! Fast with 4GB Ram version. 2GB version is acceptable, but slower. I've had both, returned the 2GB for the 4GB. Wish it had USB-C

The only con it has is the speaker. It sucks! You can't hear music or videos that good or even a call when you put it on speaker. But the battery life does make up for it. I can go a full day without charging my phone! Nothing beats that.

I picked this up since I don't need a new/fancy $700 phone and the recurring monthly lease. It does everything I need, talk/text/data and it's unlocked in case I change carriers. The price even beat out Amazons, as I had a G4 w/ads that died on me previous to this.

Quality build. Accepts an sdcard as internal storage. Better screen resolution than iPhone at less than 1/3rd the price. Excellent camera plus tons of other features. Also can always rely on Best Buy for the best price & fine service!

I needed a good phone, unlocked, CMDA 4g compatible, with low bloatware, low cost, hot spot ready. To my pleasant surprise this fill the bill. Dropped my sim into the phone and it was up and running on Verizon network. After connecting, I was very happy Verizon did not force any apps onto the phone. Its heavily loaded Google apps with a few Moto apps. Beyond that it is clean. Google does force auto updates for their apps only on you. No way I've found to turn this off. Takes great pictures, phone quality very clear. It is difficult to read in bright sunlight. My typical day is 4-6 hours of music streaming, 2-3 hours of hot spotting, lots of surfing, numerous texts, reading news, etc. To my surprise the battery still has averaged 51% battery power left after 17 hours of use, so it will go at least 24 - 30 hours without charging. All this without having to turn on its battery management feature. There was a wall charger, sim card remover, short USB cable for use with the charger, and one quick user guide in the box. If your looking for the same thing I was, this is an excellent choice.

I purchased this phone primarily because it was unlocked. The 64g was a bonus for the price. I've had my Moto G5 plus for a year and still Love it. Just purchased my 2nd Moto G5 plus for my 14 year old daughter. Great Phone!!

We have had our phones for two weeks now. Very satisfied. They perform as we expected as well as the size is great. So glad we got the 64GB with 4GB ram. Speed is awesome!

I bought Moto G plus 4G LTE 64GB on black Friday for $225 to replace my $800 Samsung galaxy s7 edge which constantly overheated and went blank often until it finally died completely after 1 year and 5 months. Samsung customer service said it was totally unrepairable. I am still paying the final 7 months on this awful Samsung phone. My Motorola product is superior in every way to the Samsung. Screen is clearer and sharper, battery lasts 4 to 5 times longer and Moto phone always runs cool even with heavy duty internet use. I use speaker phone a lot and person I am talking with always sounds clear and distinct. I can find no difference between Moto camera and Samsung camera but I almost never use a phone camera since I own and use professional Nikon Camera and lenses.

This is the second Moto G5 plus that i purchased. I got the first one for myself and my wife liked it so much that this one was for her. I did my homework on smartphones and what they had to offer without having to spend a ton of cash and the moto g5plus ranked high on the list. The battery lasts a long time and charges very quickly. The 64 gb internal memory backed with a 128 gb sd card will give more space then most will ever need and still only cost half as much as the new flagship phones out there.

I dropped my Galaxy S7 Edge that I bought when first released. The deductible to replace it was nearly the cost of this phone. My son has a Motorola Turbo 2 and loves it so I gave this a try. The Moto 5G Plus performs as well as my S7 Edge did and it didn't come with all of the bloatware. This phone is responsive, has a beautiful screen, and outstanding battery life. I do not play many games on my phones so I can't evaluate its performance in that area, however, using web, email, twitter, ect. it performs very well - no lag - and is easy on the battery. The only thing I miss from the S7 is wireless charging, but I gained an FM radio! I highly recommend the MOTO G5 Plus.

The battery life is great: I didn't have to charge it this past weekend. The 4GB of memory means that I can have multiple apps open with no problems. I'm hoping that Motorola sends out an update for the camera, which is only OK in low light.

this phone is fantastic for the price. specs are what you would find in much more expensive phones. the speaker isnt very loud. other than that. this phone is just about the best you can get in this price range.

At first when I got this phone there was an issue with VoLTE on Verizon which made the phone unusable for making calls, and with VoLTE turned off I couldn't use any data services while on a call. Now that Motorola patched the issue and VoLTE can be used for calls this is a great phone. I especially love how the fingerprint reader doubles for navigation (swipe left for back, swipe right for apps view and tap button for home screen). This navigation being enabled removes the google navigation keys from the screen which enlarges the screen area. Also the battery life is great, easily can get through a whole day without charging with moderate use.

I replaced this phone from the Sony Experia XA Ultra, and while the display and camera were top notch, this Moto G5 Plus is a clear winner. This is for the 64gb memory with 4gb ram Moto G5 Plus, and I am overly very impressed with it. Fast charging, great camera, and a ton of storage and Android 7.0 out of the box, I couldn't ask for anything else at this price point. This is a must have!

I think Moto has hit it stride with offering cost effective unlocked phones. They can't compete with the likes of Samsung or Apple anymore when it comes to features integration and marketing. What they're doing right is offering the G series and the G5 Plus is a fantastic phone for $300. The phone snappy and does exactly what I want it to do, the screen is still a tad darker than what I'd like, I've been spoiled with Samsungs AMOLED. That doesn't take away from doing any tasking, gaming, or streaming. Jumping back and forth between apps, including YouTube and Twitch, I never ran into any bogging down. And as a mechanic who might randomly need to use the flashlight, having the Moto gestures in place with this phone is a pleasant welcome. By simply shaking the phone twice you can turn on the flashlight or flicking your wrist twice- the camera comes up. You don't have to wrestle with the screen if you're wearing work gloves The camera is decent, it's not great, you'll find the auto focus isn't quick enough and there's a lot of blur if you move. However it's better than any phone within its price range. It still used micro USB for charging and syncing. While we all have dozens of these cables in a drawer, it's time they commit 100% to USB Type-C. It's faster, more reliable and future proof. I expected the screen and camera to function for a $300 phone but because it's still using a micro, it's getting a 4/5.

So I am going from an old Galaxy 4 - which only gave me a half day of battery life a day. I've been holding on to it not wanting to spend the $ on a new phone but it kept going black on me, etc. After reading about this unlocked Motorola I decided I had nothing to lose. I AM SO HAPPY I DID! I just needed a phone for calls, checking email, surfing internet - I'm older and not obsessed with snap chatting or anything. This phone is fantastic. I go all day and still have another day of battery life left. The phone was so easy to figure out. I love the thumbprint touch to log in, I love just a gentle swipe right or left on the bottom button to get me where I need to go. Setting up the phone was completely intuitive - I figured out most everything. I went to my carrier to transfer my text messages and contacts off my phone. They were all freaking out over my Motorola - this is really cool. I luv not having all the bloat apps which I never used stuck on my phone. I can't believe this was under $300. I am very happy with reception/calling/volume. It's been a couple of weeks and I have no problems thus far. Would highly recommend.

I purchased this phone after I returned the Samsung S8. The S8 seemed too fragile and to busy for me and did not care for the price of it. The Moto GS5 is more affordable and can do just about any thing the G8 can do, just operates different. I'm impressed with the performance of the phone, easy to navigate, quality camera, and large storage space. I would recommend this phone to anyone.
