Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is a wonderful phone for the money its faster then my note 4.and the battery life is great to.

For the price (299 full price, 240 frequently on sale), you get a lot of storage, a nice, minimally intrusive Android interface, great battery life and good performance. The only disappointment are horizontal lines on the screen that appear on certain backgrounds in certain lighting conditions. I've had it since June. I took my friend to Best Buy to replace the phone. We were looking at the Samsung Galaxy S8, but he chose this when the Galaxy's screen shape threw him off.

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 researched quite a bit before I bought this phone. I made the right choice. There are a lot of more expensive phones and some that are lighter, but this 64 Gb Moto G5 Plus is amazing, especially at a mid-range price. It has a crisp enough screen, WONDERFUL battery life, can work with ANY US cell provider, has a fingerprint reader and is responsive. Unlike so many Android phones that can't be updated to newer versions of Android, this phone requested to apply a number of updates right away to get itself to the newest latest greatest. Where I travel I need Verizon towers so I bought a Total Wireless SIM for it (Only $1 at BestBuy!) and added it to my Total Wireless family plan for cheap high quality service. So what's not to like? Well, it doesn't have NFC for making payments and it is a bit heavy. But those are the only downsides to the phone and frankly, I don't care. Wow. I got a lot of phone for my money. Thank you Moto!

Purchased to use with T Mobile. Charged it, inserted the T Mobile sim card and turned it on to set up and all was working in about 15 minutes. Took another 15 minutes to install two sets of updates. Backed up my old phone and used that backup to reload all my apps. Had to re-download some offline maps for one of the apps, but otherwise all others worked. Have noticed no lag. Apps open quickly and with 4 gig RAM seem to work well with many apps in background. Display is sharp and bright. Battery life is exceptional, easily 2 days w/o charging for my use. Operating system takes 10.29 GB of the 64 GM storage. Apps take another 4 GM storage, leaving me 50 GB free. This model only takes one nano sim card, not two. Poor instructions showed 2 nanos installed - probably for an international model. Phone does have compass capability if used with downloadable apps.

Very capable device, Most pleasing to me is the speed at which it opens web pages. I knew when I saw this this phone I had to buy it. It has 64 m.b. memory built in and a slot for additional storage. The representative at Best Buy was able to cut my old sim card and then do a data transfer to this phone for free. I've had the phone for two months and really like it. If I had to find a negative feature it would be that there is no visual indication on the screen of new texts and indivdual texts can't be deleted without deleteing the whole conversation, not a big deal. Camera works well. It does what I need it to do and I beieve that I wont have to upgrade again for quite a while.

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.

I have used this phone for over 3 months, I can say I feel really good about my decision to buy this over a $700 phone. This works as well as the other phone. The only issue that I have noticed is that when I go into all apps to clear I see the apps which were running which I never opened. For some reason they pop in background and I am not even aware of it. Other than that, I am happy with the purchase.

For the price you pay this is real solid phone. Design is good. For me most important aspects are battery and performance. Both are very very good. Phone can last through a whole day. Moto does have lot of software on this which is good. Camera, over all design is okay, definitely meets my expectation. If budget is low and need a good performing phone this is a go.

Good price for a phone that seems to live up to battery life and functionality. It appears to have some flagship advantages for a mid-range. Speed hasn't let me down yet. I would buy this phone as a daily driver that wouldn't absolutely devastate me if lost, broken or stolen, but that is far better than a cheap phone with low resolution and a weak camera. Feels right for what I wanted.

I am very happy with the Moto G5 Plus 64GB phone. It works faster than my Samsung Note 4 and price is also much below than samsung. You can't really complain anything about the phone, it's really nice atleast till now, hoping it will last work like this for long. I am using it since last couple of weeks and happy about it.

Had phone (4G/64GB version) for about 2 months and so far pretty pleased with purchase. Battery duration is excellent. Turbo charge is outstandingly quick. Finger print sensor the best I have ever used, rarely misses the first light tough of my finger. Processor speed very functional, no noticeable lag. Plenty of memory and has capacity for microSD card. Dropping one star due to very tinny sounding speaker. Also the camera does not have an internal stabilizer. You need to hold hand very steady. Great phone for the price. Would buy again.

I don't understand people that would but a $1000 phone. This does all the things I throw at it. It's like they learned everything good from moto x pure and put it all in this solid device. The only con is the slow updates or I don't expect fast update from motorola but I don't follow too much about what's new anyway.

bought this to replace an older moto G phone because it had a lot more storage so far haven't had any problems with it bought the unlocked Moto G 5 because I use consumer cellular the phone wouldn't text at first but it was A CARRIER problem so far it has been a great phone takes good pictures it also charges fast

Battery life is excellent, lasting 2 days with moderate use. Screen is bright and readable in sunlight. 64g storage leaves plenty of room for apps. Processor speed is fast. Phone was easy to setup and was ready to go in a few minutes.

I've had the Moto G5 Plus for about a week now, and feel I can give it a fair review. I'm coming from an iPhone 6S+, so I'm used to a different OS, as well as "flagship" devices. The Moto G5 Plus checks all the boxes for the most important things I want in a phone. The battery life is the best I've had on any phone, the screen looks excellent, the OS is butter smooth, and everything just plain works. Android has come a long way in recent years. The one place the phone is noticeably lacking is the camera. While it is the same sensor as the Galaxy S7, the processing is different and there is no stabilization. The stabilization (or lack thereof) is most noticeable during low light situations. It is extremely difficult to get a clean image, and I consider my hands more steady than average. This can all be overlooked, however, due to the incredible price. $300 for a phone, brand new, that does 95% of everything I did with an $800 phone. Sorry Apple, but I am finally jumping ship, and there isn't all that much that I am missing.

This Moto cell phone for the special Black Friday price is the best IMHO price value cell phone. The features as listed make this a powerhouse of a phone for this price level that in reality can give several higher priced flagship phones a good run for their money. The phone worked without any problems after setting it up. It updated up to the latest security s/w right from the get go. The display, sound and stock Android with minimum MOTO overlaid, makes it a welcome fresh breeze of air compared to the other carrier built in app phones eating up storage. Its very fast in games and all app operations I used. I especially like the radio that you can listen to via the headset or through its speakers (although you still have to plug in a headset to act as a antenna) The only minus but not worth taking a star off is that it has no compass. Overall it met my requirements for what I was looking for in a replacement phone. Oh yes! it does make and recive phone calls.

I bought this to replace my wife's Galaxy S5. This is a great value at the current price. It has 64 gigs of internal storage, 4 gigs of system RAM and an 8-core processor. It is much faster when surfing the web and doing other tasks than the S5 was. The rear camera is excellent for taking pictures and the front one is adequate for Duo and similar apps. This phone is unlocked so it can be used with any carrier. A micro SD card can be added to increase storage and that storage can be configured to function as internal memory if desired. My wife loves it! Now, I am jealous and thinking about replacing my S5 with this phone.

4gb of ram 64 gb of storage, sd card slot, no bloatware, works great, good battery life. After couple weeks of use it's the best phone I've ever had. Biggest downfall I found was lack of heavy duty cases for this model and you will want a case since the camera sticks out on back

I usually buy cheapos that were returned or open box. But wanted to upgrade to a better camera and enough memory that my few apps can update seamlessly. The screen and photos are beautiful. I especially enjoy the absence of Samsung BLOATWARE. Highly recommend.
