got this phone for the dual sim for usa use ...

Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2017

got this phone for the dual sim for usa use, it works on all bands here, including lte. a bonus was that you can install both sim cards and sd card in the tray at the same time. Some of the other dual sim phones will only allow 2 sims in tray or 1 sim and sd card. this one does all three and i'm using a 32 gig card in mine.

packaging problem

I want to return this and need authorization.

Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2018

I'd like to return my Motorola phone for many reasons -

Little leaflet of Spanish instructions…no help.

The interface is illogical - totally - like a really bad web site. Get lost once and you

need to go back to the first page -

but wait-

there are 3 ads waiting for you to respond to and the the phone starts ringing -

but wait -

it is another ad now ringing you up with a picture.

can't find the cellular signal after it is lost unless I turn off the phone and restart it.

Having never experienced the following - I didn't know what was happening! It took 10-15 seconds to connect to a local number and longer for long distance.

Whatever you need to send me to approve of the return of this phone - please send it.

Thanks

Decent.

I grabbed up this phone mostly for its dual-sim and international compatibility. Which worked as expected.

But guys, the camera on this is pretty atrocious. Fails to capture much detail, struggles hard in non-ideal lighting, and zooming in is a horror show. I'm not particularly a picture snob, but I was still using my 5 year-old Moto X to take the pictures that I actually cared about.

So yeah. If you're buying this, keep a backup picturing device handy.

dual sim, plus microSD card slot

Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2018

I got this phone because it was dual sim, unlocked. I don't exactly like the fact that you have to open the phone chip slot with a special tool, but I'll just have to carry the tool with me at all times in case I have to do something with the chips. But I was very pleased to find it takes 2 nano sim cards, plus 1 microSD card for extra storage! I am using the phone while living in Central America, and so far it works great.
My previous phone was also Motorola, and I think the quality is super for the price. I think I'd have a hard time switching to another brand!
So far I like the fingerprint reader and use it most often to wake up the phone.
The phone came with a turbo charger, which has already spoiled me! No more waiting for hours for the phone to charge fully! The charger cord is a bit short (36 inches), but so far that hasn't been a problem.
When I tried to buy a Verizon sim card for this phone, I discovered it was not compatible with Verizon. Not impressed. It worked perfectly with my Mint Mobile SIM, but had to switch carriers because I moved to a new area not covered by Mint Mobile.

Battery life is quite good, I am getting 2+ days on regular use

Quick and responsive. Battery life is quite good, I am getting 2+ days on regular use.

Quick charge works as a charm, Plug in 30 min will give you a day of battery life. Full charge takes around 1:30h

By default you are missing a file manager and some customization options, but can be fix with some apps from the play store.

edit: So far I have used it in Panama, Brazil, Colombia and Jamaica, being able to connect to the networks without any troubles

I have using the phone since October 2018 I have 4 months of use but when taking the photos in automatic mode when pressing the shutter takes up to 6 seconds to take the photo, which does not happen in manual mode.
At 8:00 A. M I go to work and return at 7:00 p. m and I have between 40% of battery or 30% (depends on the use) you really have tranquility, the quality of photos is good... but when I need to take pictures to the screen of the PC monitor for a bank transfer (something very Used in Venezuela for reference of a payment to a third party) the quality is very blurred as if moving the phone (and not move it) I come from Nokia Lumia 925 (the best mobile camera I've had in terms of camera or talk about the night photos) or the Nokia Lumia 830 ta Mbien takes good pictures but nothing like the Lumia 925 this Motorola Moto G5 Plus is a mess now the quality of the video is good or photos with good lighting is very good.... Aohra I have a problem with the App Instagram that delays in opening, or simply does not open sometimes freezes.
The sound quality is good but it lacks a little more power in the volume

If you want better quality pictures

Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2018

Verified Purchase

Don't listen to the people talking down to this phone... Honestly for the price, you can't beat what you are getting!!! Yeah yeah the camera isn't all that, but who cares? Buy the phone for the android experience and to get things done. If you want better quality pictures, then yes... Invest in either a separate camera or a WAY more expensive phone. Other than that, there is very little to complain about with this phone. 100% satisfies my needs :) highly recommend it to anyone who doesn't wanna spend too much on a smartphone and still have a great overall experience.

You're going to have a lot of memory but remember you can't take the battery out

Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2018

So Far so good. I really haven't had enough time to review it properly. I like the way I can add memory and all my applications can reside in that memory. what I dislike is the battery is self-contained you can't take it out it's part of the phone but maybe that could turn out to be a boon.

I'm satisfied with the product

Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2018

I'm satisfied with the product. I previously used LG's Nexus 5 but I got booting problem after 4 years of use and it was pretty annoying. Especially liked the size of it which is comfortable to grab and use it with one hand. It is pretty hard to buy Motorola's product at KR market so I decided to use Amazon.
