Customer Ratings & Reviews

For what you get this is an amazing phone - at less than half the price of flagship phones you get 90% of the speed, screen, ram, and memory expandability. However A FEW FEATURES HAVE BEEN CRIPPLED AND THAT'S UNDERREPORTED AND YOU SHOULD KNOW THEM - the features are actually there they have just been deactivated and I hate when manufacturers and providers actually put the cost into the device and then just turn it off. Moto did two "no-no's" and my carrier AT&T's is responsible for one. You should know about them because they could be deal breakers for you. #1 THERE IS NO WIFI CALLING ON AT&T. That's it, they claim the device doesn't support it, but that's fake news from what I can tell being that other carriers do have it, but if that's important to you you should check with your carrier - I can only vouch 100% that AT&T doesn't let this phone on for Wi-Fi calling. #2 There is no notification light.. well there is, but it has been disabled for the notification screen feature. That's nice, but not as easy as just looking at your screen for a blinking light, you actually have to nudge the unit and the screen will briefly turn on to reveal if there are messages. If you root the device I read that it can be turned on, but I haven't done it. #3 No NFC, so if you want to use Android Pay forget it, they mention it somewhere, but I think it mentions mentioning it again - because also from reading, the radio is there, but it has been disabled. If those aren't deal breakers and you want an awesome phone that looks great in bright light, takes nice pictures, and is fast with plenty of space for your stuff and will get an update to 8 reportedly, then I would buy this unit, just know the shortcomings.

Love the price tag, love the phone. Sure it doesn't have NFC and the speaker could be improved, but overall it does what any other phone out there can do. Plus it contains stock Android so it's very fast and battery life is really great!

All around good phone with a few missing features. Fast performance and very smooth. Pictures sub par at best and speaker is weak. Use Bluetooth for that. Speakerphone falls short but regular is fine. No NFC , not a deal breaker but why not have it on US phones? Battery life is good as well.

The phone has an impressive battery life, the camera is decent, and the performance is smooth. I've had the phone for almost a month and it hasn't given me any trouble. I'm coming from an LG G5 and I didn't see a noticeable difference in performance, given the LG has a Snapdragon 820 and this one the 625. The only cons would be the lack of NFC and the micro USB charging port.

I like this phone. Replaced a 23 month old (pure) android device that died with boot loop issue. Battery life is 3X better - usually reports 2 days remaining. Usually can't tell the difference on speed. Build quality and feel is on par with more expensive device. The only negative is it lacks NFC and does not use usb 'C' cable.

I picked this up to use while waiting for my Moto Z battery replacement. The G5 Plus is a nice little midrange phone. It is quick, has lots of storage and can take decent pictures. The battery is other worldly. I am shocked at how long it last. Can go for over 24 hours without a charge and that is using it quite a bit for email and apps. Almost makes me consider keeping this as my daily driver. A few things I don't like. No NFC and that makes Android pay worthless. Using micro USB instead of USB. The display is not as quality as the Z and has horizontal lines in the digitizer. Only noticeable when the screen is off or at certain angles. The wifi has a know issue where it connects to an AP, but can't maintain a stable connection. Last, doesn't get regular updates from Motorola. Still on Android 7.0.0 and August security patch. All of this would be 3 stars, but that battery life gets a star back.

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.

I bought this for my wife on sale for $229.00 that's the 64gb with 4mb of ram version. It's a great phone at that price and luckily it's not a overly skinned mess like Samsung, Huawei, etc. I bought it to replace my wife's beloved nexus 5 because it was as close as I could get since Google killed of the nexus brand in favor of the overpriced pixel line. The phone is not bad at all. It runs well and is a good comfortable size. The only thing I thought was weird is that it doesn't have nfc especially when every company out there is trying to push wireless payments these days. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a good phone at a reasonable price.

This is definitely one of the best value for money phones out there. Pros: 5.2 inch screen size is perfect, with the option of removing the nav bar below by using actions on the fingerprint sensor. Brilliant. 64 GB option available. Works fast for average use. Good screen. Cons: No NFC for Android Pay. No other problem yet noticed.

Purchased the 64GB version of Moto G5 Plus a year ago at a very attractive price of $189. The phone is spiffy and handles all functions/apps with no problem. The camera quality, though decent, is just OK. The other weakness is its lack of NFC.. But hey for $189, I could overlook these minor imperfections.

Only thing this phone is missing is nfc. Other than that it makes for a solid primary and a great back up phone.

No NFC or USB-C are the only things keeping this phone from a 5-star rating. Excellent battery life, never heats up, quick and tons of memory. Love the camera and the Moto gestures.

Good phone for good price. My only issue is that I wish it had NFC :(

The G5 plus will perform all your productivity & entertainment tasks easily and last all day for about half the cost of most phones out there. It offers 4GB of ram, 64 GB of onboard memory, it is expandable to 128GB, has 3,000 mAh battery with an included turbo charger, screen resolution of 1080p, back camera is 12mp, front camera is 5mp front, runs Android 7.0 out of the box, has no bloatware, it is unlocked, and it is decently priced. NFC is the only thing on my wish list for this phone. I'm very happy and highly recommend it.

Good price point. Works well. Left off one star because of the lack of NFC.

My two-year-old Nexus 6 began to use battery life so it was time for a replacement. I have been very pleased with the Moto G5 Plus. It is very feature-packed and a solidly-built phone for people who like Android apps. The only disappointment that I could point to is the lack of using Android pay - alas no NFC functionality. By the way, the phone's camera is wicked fast.

Moto G5 plus with 4GB RAM is a great phone. Very responsive device. Keyboard is wonderful; much better than Samsung Galaxy S7 that I have. Does not have NFC but I do not need it. Soft "back" and "overview" buttons and the thumbprint scanner has swipe functions. Great value for the money.

The phone is great for it's price. It runs smoothly, takes decent photos, and Moto adds some neat gestures that make it simple to do common tasks. My only complaint is lack of NFC, so it is not possible use the phone to pay at stores with Google Pay.

Quick, peppy and decent phone. Excellent response to input and nice screen. Downside, for me, no NFC. I didn't ask before purchasing, I went for 64GB storage and RAM, and price. Well worth it. NFC would make this phone top 5 stars.

Good specs and performance for the price. Sd card slot is a big plus but no nfc.
