Moto G5 and G5 Plus hands-on: the BEST VALUE for money smartphones

The Moto G5 and G5 Plus are almost too much smartphone for the price. For just EUR 199 for the G5, and EUR 279 / $229 for the G5 Plus, consumers will get an incredibly neat package of cute, perfectly sized design, quality 5" and 5.2" screens and satisfying performance. These are not just great phones for the money, they are simply great phones all things considered.

So is 2017 the year for Budget Smartphones. It seems like most, if not all companies are focused on the midrange/budget market....which, is great for me, and most other people. I'm glad to see companies more focused this way instead of going the $700 route like Apple :)

why did they not upgrade moto g turbo???

[mohamedayad-]

is the frame on the moto g5 plus made of metal or plastic ?

[skamravec]

I heard the phone warms up when playing facebook videos etc. Is that true?
Here is the comment from one user:
Maybe I should have waited to review and do hope its just a defective cell phone. My Motto G5 started to reboot during calls, it happened twice and once during browsing google. It heats up during Live Video on facebook, but not while charging like the Moto G4 Plus 64GB did. If the problem continues, I will return it before the 14 days are up.

New Nokias have amazing value. Not sure if this is just as good.

[grapiken]

Does any have a removable battery? Why is this important information always ignored?

Honestly 200euros is fantastic for what you get

I really need Moto to open up pre-orders. These phones are so good I feel like it's fake.

[KPrimeau]

G5 = 2 GB ram/32 GB memory?
G5+ = 4 GB ram/64 GB memory?
...or do they both have the option? or is there any configuration on these pieces of gold.

Rrrgg! I really want the G5 plus, but it's exclusive to the 😤😡

[UmbroKhan]

Lenovo P2 and Honor 6X is a better buy.
Moto G5 is not the king anymore of budget phone

[arunkg]

worst phone ever I took was this Moto g5plus, it has lots of hanging and heating issue, I took this 1st week of launch more than a month now, , ,

[fisharefriends]

Moto z is now 300 quid! Better then the G5 if u can afford

Ugly because, fat body to screen ratio, thick bezels & i prefer bar shape phones.

[Arlind]

pfff what an ugly design. They ruined the typical motorola design, and that back looks so weird. They should had done the opposite, plastic back with metal corners.
