Moto G5 Plus (5th Gen), 5.2 Inches, FHD IPS, 2GB RAM, 32 GB Storage, Unlocked Cell Phone, US Warranty, Lunar Grey (01110NARTL)

Pros: Fast, unlocked, easy to use on Verizon

Cons: None yet

Overall Review: Best phone that I have owned. It's so simple. I was worried about the negative reviews for Verizon. None here. My LG G4 went thru all the crapfestivals of bootloop and split screen issues. Once I got the G5 Plus very quickly from Newegg I took it right to a Verizon Corporate store. You can look them up on Verizon's website. I was in and out in less than 10 minutes. They gave me a nano sim card for free and activated the phone. This phone is 64 GB of memory and the phone activated with a few apps installed only takes up less than 3 GB. No more bloatware. Every other Verizon phone would have over 10 GB used on phone+bloatware. When you activate the phone it will do a system update. Then, you need to power off the phone, remove the sim. Restart the phone again with sim removed and search for update. It should force update to the May update. Power phone off. Put sim card back in, power back on and you are good to go. This is not a flagship phone. $249 on sale. The user experience is unmatched. Fingerprint sensor/navigation button is the best thing ever created for an Android phone. Just buy it already!

Pros: This one runs the same hardware that the competitors run and it is half the price! The Snapdragon eight core at 2Ghz with 4Gb ram and 64Gb storage. It replaced a five year old Droid Maxx. It is bigger, better and faster. It does what I need done.

Cons: None

Overall Review: The battery lasts much longer.

Pros: -it's fast -it's unlocked -it's affordable -has almost any feature you can think of. -screen is nice. -fingerprint scanner is great, and the one-button nav feature it has is excellent. I've had this phone since March 24th. i've only used it on a verizon mvno, and have had no major issues, other than issues specific to poor coverage in my area (i live in rural iowa, and verizon has some gaps around here) or issues related to where i work (heavy industrial facility, so poor quality there too) but i've never had a phone that could get around either of those. i use it with a number of bluetooth accessories; headphones, a speaker, and 2 cars, including my new car with android auto, and i've had no problems. wi-fi range is good, and connectivity has never been an issue with any wi-fi networks. Screen is sharp, with good 1080p resolution, and is bright and has good color. performance has not been an issue, i mostly only read on my phone, but occasionally i do play a game, and i've had no problems. the high ram and storage memory is nice, and i also have a 128GB card with music and videos. the low, affordable price point is probably the best feature of all. all this phone for about $300? fantastic. highly recommend,

Cons: -no nfc -power button is flipped in position from every other motorola phone i've used. nfc would have been nice, but i don't use it that much. the power button thing is infuriating, and i'm still having problems with it, but i am slowly adapting, lol.

Overall Review: -it is dual sim capable, and i have a north american version. -other reviews spoke of poor call quality, i haven't seen any of this, call quality is fantastic. -i'm on total wireless, which runs on verizon's network. -another reviewer spoke of being unable to receive data when calling on wi-fi......that's how CDMA networks work, not a phone issue. -there was an issue at launch with a 911-specific issue, but after discovery, motorola got a fix out really quickly. i think this phone is fantastic, like every other motorola phone i've owned since 2014's moto x. i think motorola makes the best phones, and this is definitely excellent: no junk-ware like samsung's products, and made with higher quality than any other budget phone in it's price range,

Pros: Excellent battery life Has turbo charging mode, which I don't use as I've added wireless charging via generic QI receiver pad. Camera is fast, I see nothing wrong with the photo quality, and it has a f 1.7 lens for better low light performance. No funky OEM bloatware baked in. Unlocked for ALL service providers.

Cons: Non removable battery.

Overall Review: A lot of phone for the money. Good choice if you are looking for a workhorse phone.

Pros: Fast, full HD, legit 4gb ram, 64 GB of space, battery charges quick and using it all day on and off the charger and it's never seen less than 85% Pandora and Pokemon go running for a majority of the day. Bluetooth signal was very strong. Volume was louder than my Nexus. I close 3 day shipping Sunday got it Tuesday about noon(incredibly quick).

Cons: No physical home button (that's a fingerprint scanner not a button) no Facebook/message flashy light. Another thing to note is that without a case this phone is about as slippery as a bar of soap! Buy a rubber case asap!

Overall Review: Those cons for me don't matter considering any phone close to these specs are at least double the price. If you said hey here's a few hundred dollars to use a software home button and fb indicator I'm taking the money for sure! My girlfriend just got the Galaxy S7 and this is pretty darn close to it in performance and quality for almost half the price.

Pros: * Affordable * Verizon Support (CDMA) * Somewhat recent android (see cons) * Plenty fast enough for my uses (Video/Audio Apps and Social Media Apps) * Battery Life seems reasonable (see cons) Overall the phone is reasonably snappy even with a fair few apps in the background. It took me a couple minutes in a Verizon store to get a sim card for it (migrated from an existing phone number) and I was off to the races. There's a fair few things that aren't 100% silky smooth but nothing to the point where I got mad at it. It's a phone, and it gets the job done.

Cons: * Latest Android Version (As of Nov. 11 2017) is still 7.0 (With the Augest 1, 2017 Security patch level) While I'm fine with being stuck on 7.0 (Sure beats my old phone that was stuck on 4.4.4!) the Security patches seem to have fallen behind and there's been some major issues since August, most notably the KRACK vulnerabilities. Moto has claimed that they are going to upgrade the Moto G5 Plus to Oreo (Android 8) at some time in the future, but at lot of users aren't confident that it will ever actually happen. * Non User-Replaceable battery!!!! While it would be more understandable if the phone had notable water resistance (the lack of which isn't unexpected on such an affordable phone) it really hurts that the battery isn't really user replaceable. I've gotten a lot of extra life out of my previous phone that I otherwise wouldn't have with a cheap battery replacement.

Overall Review: Some people say it doesn't look good ascetically. Personally I'm not bothered in the slightest about that. I haven't really used the fingerprint reader so I can't comment on that. The gestures to turn on the camera or flashlight are useful and they haven't gone off accidentally, though it will probably take me a while to actually remember to use them.

Pros: Very good screen and camera. Have gotten numerous compliments on the clarity of pictures. Fast Sharp gold color

Cons: No problems thus far

Pros: almost vanilla Android experience. excellent camera for the price excellent ram for the price no nonsense, everyday smartphone reliable fingerprint scanner

Cons: people complain about the lack of NFC. I could care less about that. I would rather have inductive charging (wireless charging). pixel doesn't have it either, and that's no budget phone. but the absence is noticeable coming from some of the older Droid Turbo lines.

Overall Review: I bought the discounted (and bootloader-locked) am9z0n version for my sister and this one for my mother. This one was worth the extra $$$. sister is an el-cheapo sort (hunts bargain everywhere, goodwill, etc.). and she complains about the ads. so I tried this one w/o ads for my mother, and she loves it. neither one has a clue when it comes to computers or electronics, but...she's very happy with this for pictures, email, phone, calendar, alarms, etc. if you want a smartphone for everyday work and no frills, this is the best by far. I highly recommend upgrading to the plus for the 4g of ram. the extra storage (64 vs. 32g) isn't something I'd notice, let alone the family members, but almost anyone will notice the ram.
