Motorola Moto G5 Plus Pro Reviews

With a long list of features you want and only a few that you don't, there is no better budget phone than Motorola's Moto G5 Plus.

It's easy to pick up the very wrong impression that there's not much to look forward to in the mid-range smartphone space, like it's some dumping ground for leftover components, offers uninspired hardware design at best, and aims little higher than giving shoppers phone choices that are “good enough” without going much further. But it takes little more than a phone like the Moto G5 Plus to remind you that even in this budget segment there's still tons of variety, and maybe more importantly than that, the opportunity for manufacturers to really impress. We're not qualifying that with “... on a budget,” either, and the Moto G5 Plus implements some features – like that very intuitive swipe-based fingerprint scanner navigation system – that we'd absolutely love to see on much more high-profile Motorola hardware.

Because this smartphone looks rather nice, feels good to use (metal!), and takes decent photos, it’s a good phone. For the price it’s being offered at, the Moto G5 Plus is more than a good phone, it’s a great phone. Lenovo’s Motorola has hit the right speed with this device, its price, and its presentation.

The Moto G5 Plus does everything it should at this price, and then some. It’s perfect for teens or those who don’t want to spend a fortune on a smartphone.

The Moto G5 Plus sets a new standard for affordable unlocked phones with a premium build, solid specs, smooth performance, and bloatware-free Android software.
