Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

I would consider myself a poor tech enthusiast. As such, I like to make sure I get bang for my buck. This phone is great. It has excellent speed, plenty of RAM, and lots of internal storage. This actually the first Android phone I've used without a micro SD card, though the option is there if I want it. It's compatible with all four major carriers and MVNOs that run off those carriers. Right now I'm with Total Wireless. Popped my SIM in and had service. There's also great Dev support, if that's your thing. Root and ROMs abound if you look for it. If there's one thing I could change about the phone, it would be the screen from LCD to OLED. The screen is great, I just like the advantages of OLED. Overall, just buy this phone if you want something you can take to any carrier, if you want great performance at a great price, or if you are ballin' on a budget, like me.

This is a great phone for people who don't want to spend $600-$800 on a flagship device, but still want a phone with great specs. This phone is unlocked, so it works with all of the major carriers. The phone doesn't have any of the unnecessary bloatware that comes on carrier devices. It is close to running pure android. It has some useful, but not necessary, "moto actions" i.e. making a chopping motion twice to turn on the flashlight. The battery life is amazing; I can easily get a day and a half with heavy usage. In my opinion the only cons are: the camera is decent; it isn't a $600+ phone so not a deal breaker for me. And there isn't a notification led; Motorola does use a moto display feature for notifications, but it isn't as good as having a notification led. I purchased the 4GB/64GB model; the phone is also available in a 2GB/32GB configuration.

I got this phone for my sister and she absolutely loves it. It has great battery life and storage especially for the price. It has better battery life than an iPhone and is much cheaper than one also.

Stock android 7.0 system which should be upgraded to Oreo. Excellent battery life compared to my Note 4. Nice bright screen. Very fast. Bought 4gb ram version - very pleased with my purchase after 10 days of use. No wi fi calling built into the phone software - but it does work with Google voice and hangouts for wi fi calling. I use this for work so I cannot comment on the camera, although it seems very good for the pictures I've taken using professional mode. Sprint put in the sim card for free - very easy and you are not charged for an "upgrade". If you buy a locked phone from a carrier they usually want to charge an "upgrade fee" - so this (or any) unlocked phone is the way to go.

Would have gave 5 stars, if the phone had a restart option, only has a "turn phone off" option other than that it's great tons of available storage, great cameras, super fast well worth the money for an unlocked phone.

My Moto G 3rd Gen was getting a little old and that battery wasn't holding a charge too well. So I bought this one when it was on sale for the early Black Friday sale and it's been great so far. Very responsive. I can go three days without charging the battery but I'm not a heavy user. The sweet spot for me is a 5" screen so this is a little bigger than I'd like (5.2" screen) but it's hard to find a high quality phone with a 5" screen. The camera protrudes on the back so I picked up a cheap case which helps with that. I really like the Moto brand as the version of Android installed is pretty vanilla and doesn't have a lot of bloatware installed like some of the other phones. And really, for the price it can't be beat.

I began reading reviews over a month ago and could not wait to get one of these phones. I ordered 2 one for me and one for my wife. She wanted the Gold color so hers is on the way. Setup was easy the biggest issue was needed a nano sim instead of the micro on my Nexus. Run great on T-Mobile. Google backup from old phone restored no issues. Setup all my apps fine. We purchased the 64 gig model and ordered some clear cases online. The manufacturing looks great very sleek nice phone feels great in the hand. The almost stock Android was a selling feature and the great price. This phone is much faster than my Nexus. Camara is much better. Video playback has been smooth. Calls are clear. Wifi works great does not drain the battery like my old phone. The battery is amazing all day on one charge no problem. Forgot to charge over night very little battery drain even with apps running. Not a power user but all the apps I use work great, Cello Tuner, Dish Anywhere, Netflix, Amazon Music, Mario Run etc. Definitely, work the money. Bought with Best Buy so I could purchase their Geek Squad insurance so I can have any repairs if needed, done locally, and not mailing in for a 5 day turn around. I would definitely recommend this phone to others.

I have been using this phone for 2 weeks now. The battery is really good. On standby it goes for 2 days and camera is also really nice. I spent 275$ for the 64 gb phone and I feel its worth the price.

For the money we spend on cellphones, this is the best value buy far. It is a quality product with enough features for me. Plenty of memory and storage. I highly recommend.

The Motorola Moto g5 PLUS is the best mid-priced smartphone available. With 64GB internal memory and 4GB RAM, it's very hard to beat the performance of this phone in this price range. The phone is very fast opening apps. And can handle having multiple apps running at the same time without lagging. The fingerprint sensor is definitely the best I've ever used. Works flawlessly. Love using the fingerprint sensor as my home screen navigation buttons, very cool. Battery life is excellent. Really like the split-screen feature as well. Allows you to have two apps running on the screen at the same time. Camera takes very good photos and video. Not as good as Sony Experia and a few others, although. Sound quality from speaker is very good as well. But, nothing to brag about. Call quality on this phone is very good also. HD Voice compatible if your carrier has it available in your area.This is the best deal for an unlocked smartphone you can find. Works great with my Cricket (AT&T) prepaid service. And I can switch to any carrier I want with this phone eg. Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile etc. Which is awesome. Not that I'm planning on switching anytime soon. But nice to have the option. All you need to do is put a SIM card in this phone from your carrier of choice. Motorola has always made reliable phones and now they're getting very creative and innovative again. Nice to see from the original cell phone maker brand. Hello Moto!!!

I used to be an Iphone user. Left for a Moto X two years+ ago, then upgraded to a Moto X extreme edition a year ago for a great deal(about $225.00 for a 64GB)...unfortunately broke that phone and screen. Decided to see what was the current Moto model and came across this. another 64GB phone+added my 128GB microsd card. Love that this phone has finger reader....i hated entering code every time to unlock old phone. This phone doesn't have NFC or google pay but I never used it on last phone despite the fact that i enabled it and then had to have a pass code for security. Some have quipped about the lens sticking out a bit....doesn't matter once you put a case on it, even the thinnest cases make the the camera lens flush. Perfect size...can actually get my thumb across the screen for one handed operation. fast, good screen, good battery life. Looks just like a Iphone...if that's what your after...not really something I was looking for but get a lot of people ask is that an iphone...nope and i could buy four of these for the price of one iphone or samsung. Also used rewards points to lower price total to about $260.00 for phone and then paid the extra for a two year geek squad protection(not normally something id do)....figured I'll probably do something once in two years that will most likely net me a fix or an new phone. Great deal. Great phone. And I get two free payments on my BMW X3 by purchasing this vs. Samsung or apple.

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 love this cell phone! I love the camera. I love that it has so much memory. I love the turbo charge feature and I love that it is easy to use.

Since smart phones have come out, I've been loyal to Samsung - I've had the 2, 4, and 6 - I finally damaged my 6 and at Black Friday I decided to research prices as the days of free top end phones are over - this Moto has more power and a better camera than my 6 - yes I said six, this phone obviously doesn't match up to the newest Iphone or Galaxy, but it is more than most people need - I love it and at $224, the extra money I would have paid for the new Galaxy will pay for over half a year of cell service!!

I purchased this phone when my IPhone stopped working - I did not want to be under a contract & have a monthly payment so I started researching other options. I read the reviews for this phone & it sounded like a great option w/a great price. I have been very pleased with this phone. It does everything my IPhone did w/the exception of Facetime - I downloaded an app & that was quickly remedied! It holds a charge longer then my IPhone did & the charging cable that came with it charges my phone super fast!

This is the second Motorola Moto G 5th generation phone that I have purchased from Best Buy. The first was for myself. I was so pleased with the phone that I bought another for someone else. The battery life is great, it has a very tough screen and it is extremely easy to operate. I paired each phone with Best Buy's Incipio Plex screen protector and Incipio NGP case. The set would be my recommendation to anyone wanting a fairly simple smart phone that is not under any contract with a provider.

I was looking for a cheaper alternative to the name brand phones on the market, I was using a Galaxy S7 so that was the bar I was measuring to. I've been using this phone for a week or so now and have no regrets for changing. Camera is decent, and as far as performance I don't notice anything significant in speed or reliability. I did notice that my previous phone would connect to multiple Bluetooth devices at the same time (nice when driving to have media to the stereo and calls to my headset), this phone is one device at a time.

Motorola Moto G5 Plus: This is about the 4th phone that I have owned and it’s definitely the best. Everything that you read on the Motorola web site it true. Quality is tops. Screen is large and clear. 1080p too. Battery and charger are great. You can go from near dead to 50 percent in less than an hour. Fast 8 core processor. Android 7.0 Nougat. Fingerprint reader. I bought the 64 GB version. Camera is 12 M pixels. Beautiful photos. I highly recommend it.

The Moto G5 is a great phone for the price. Now is it as good as the top of the line phones? No. But it is less than half the price and for me, it does everything I need. The fingerprint scanner works well, and I really like that. The display is better than I expected. It runs a fairly straightforward version of Android. It is fast and very rarely lags. And battery lasts more than 1 day with some pretty heavy use, while the turbocharger works really well. The only thing that I am not thrilled with is the volume level, but that isn't the end of the world. Great phone, great price. Exceeded my expectations.
