Customer Ratings & Reviews

Phone is excellent for the price. It is unlocked and compatible with all make networks. Camera takes good pictures and the Moto actions are very helpful. The fingerprint sensor is of high quality and works very well. Call quality is also excellent.

This is my first non-Samsung phone, and I am loving it! The camera is fantastic, as is the front facing camera which has an excellent picture quality. My husband also got one and uses it for his job which requires the use of certain apps out on the road across the country. So far, the data reception has been great. We even get reception in certain places we did not with our old phone (same plan). The price was unbeatable for the features, the amount of storage, and the camera quality we have with this phone. I highly recommend the Moto GS5 Plus.

I've had real problems in the past with Motorola-branded cell phones and mobile technology in my life. If you don't care to hear about it, scroll down past the rest of this paragraph: Their bluetooth ear pieces always seemed to be of less-than-ideal quality. In fact, I had more luck with off-brands like Kinivo and other brands that don't even come to mind at the moment in terms of their bluetooth capabilities. The Motorola Electrify phone in particular was EXTREMELY unreliable in terms of both camera quality and battery life. It was very picky as to using factory chargers, so it would spaz out when I would be in a situation where I needed to charge it and didn't think to bring my charger with me from home that day. When Google bought Motorola out, I got my hopes up again, but was STILL not satisfied with what they came up with. I was put into a pretty undesirable situation when I had to either be without a phone for 48 hours (sadly not an option for me these days) or suck it up and buy this Motorola for like $300 while my phone was being swapped out by my insurer (which thankfully I at least got reimbursed for that). I figured if I was ever in the situation again where I'd need to have a backup cell phone, I'd thank myself for buying an unlocked phone as a backup. In a happy coincidence, Motorola had been bought out by a company who I've really grown to like and respect these past few years, Lenovo. I'm already familiar with the Android Operating System, so the learning curve was relatively non-existent, and since the protective case was only $20, I'm sure I'll look back on this emergency investment and be happy I made it when the time comes where I need another stop-gap phone. Either that, or maybe when my current phone just stops working, I might transition over to this one all together, and leave Samsung behind. This cell phone was seamless from putting my SIM card in and charging it up, it worked like a dream. I had lost my contacts, but luckily had them stored in a cloud, so I was able to restore it almost fully in a pretty reasonable amount of time. I'd like to give a shout-out to the Geneva, Illinois Best Buy store near Randall Road and Fabyan Parkway-- particularly their mobile phone department-- for getting me patched up and allowing me to buy this phone outright without contracts or hassles. Not even the Verizon store was willing to sell me a phone, even a refurbished one, without having to do monthly payments. That strikes me as kind of silly.

I got this phone a week ago and have not had any problems with it. It is fast with loading and switching between apps. The camera is great too. It works on straight talk with no problem.

Purchased the 64GB model on launch day to replace a Moto X Pure Edition. Besides lacking NFC the G5 Plus is an excellent value for the money. Battery life is great lasting an entire day with heavy use. The 4GB RAM coupled with the Snapdragon 625 is quick and I haven't had a single issue with force closes or slow downs. My only complaint centers around camera quality under low light.

Previous had a MOTO X 2nd Gen. Needed to replace phone as battery life deteriorated. New phone is EXCELLENT. Processor fast enough for my needs. Camera is good, but not up to the level of my wife's Samsung 8, but then I didn't pay $700.

I ordered the moto G5 plus when it came out I was shocked on how responsive the phone is it's fast battery life is great. The only issue that I'm having is that the speaker phone is not loud . I have read some online reviews that its not compatible with Verizon well it is I had no issue connecting it all I did is insert my Sim card and it worked so far I'm happy with it.

I upgraded to this phone from a Samsung Galaxy S6, this phone has an amazing battery life, super fast, and 64gb of storage..... I love this phone

This is really an excellent phone. It's unlocked, so of course it doesn't have all the carrier bloatware. The UI seems just as responsive as the Galaxy S7 I had previously (actually better - after a few days the Galaxy would slow to a crawl because of all the bloatware; that's not a problem here), and the battery life is amazing (I've typically got 80% or so left at the end of a day). At this price, it's an amazing buy.

One of the best smartphones out there, especially considering the price. Sure, there are superior phones in the market, but not for this price. Does everything I need from a phone plus some extras too. Highly recommend it.

It is been a week that I purchased this phone and I am very happy with all its features, if you don't want to spend a lot a money for a high end phone I would recommend this phone, the only difference will be the camera.

Good phone, great quality and performance. Battery runs for almost 2 days. Camera is great and all apps and Android OS run smoothly.

I looked at lots of unlocked phones and this phone had some of the best reviews. So far, so good. Easy to navigate for a first time smartphone user. Nice size ,fits in palm but you can read it and find it in a purse.

This was my first unlocked phone purchase. I had a Motorola Droid Razr M a long time ago and liked it, so I thought I'd try Moto. Battery life is great; I can get two days of use on a full charge. Camera isn't very responsive, and stock camera app needs to restart occasionally. Great connectivity without Verizon bloat. I took it from Best buy to a Verizon store and they put a nano SIM card in for no charge. One of the only unlocked phones I could find that still allows for microSD storage. At half the price of the flagship Androids, this was a no-brainer.

+stock android 7.0 +good battery life +has the Moto gesture commands +/- camera is good except in low light conditions -no Moto voice -camera sticks out on the back so you pretty much need a case to set the phone down on a hard surface

Got this handset after returning the Moto Z Play because it was too large for me. This phone is much easier to handle. It’s also beautiful, has great storage and looks sleeker than a budget phone. Very pleased.

This phone is amazing in every way. No bloat-ware, great fast low-light-capable camera, every radio for all carriers, great screen, great battery that is half full at the end of a day I'm playing with it pretty constantly, fast processor so zero lag on anything, and 4gb-64gb is future-capable so it should last, finally slick beautiful metal case and gorilla glass. A real phone for half the money of flagships with virtually everything they promote without their pretensions. Well done Moto - would buy again in an instant - and I'm telling everyone I know that this is the best deal, best phone for business oriented professionals. Didn't really want the nfc but that's the only thing missing in the package vs. highest-end devices.

I have only had the phone for 1 week today. Why would anyone pay 2-3X more for a Samsung S8 or iPhone7? Haven't had issues with the camera image quality, like some have mentioned. It seems a bit heavy, but I have nothing really to compare it to. Just having to "find" things all over, even though I had a Samsung (difference in Android revision?). Easily transferred contacts with a downloaded utility. Paid $249 for the loaded version.

Great value for the money and does everything I need well: email, social media, phone calls, GPS and messaging. Camera isn't the best, but for a much cheaper price than any iphone it was worth the compromise.

Overall very pleased with the Moto G5 Plus. Very crisp response, fingerprint sensor works quickly, and camera is very good under most conditions. Really excels in bright conditions but like most phones it can struggle in lower light conditions. Battery lasts a very long time for me, like ~4 days, but I'm not a power user. I upgraded from an original Moto X and feel this is a huge upgrade.
