" ... I just like bigger screens, but I have grown used to the 5.0" screen which is just great for most people. ... "
" ... Screen is bright and vibrant. ... "
" ... It has a bright screen with nice resolution. ... "
" ... The screen display is perfect for displaying videos in high definition and for playing some quick games on the go. ... "
" ... The screen size is ideal for me, and the phone fits my hand nicely. ... "
" ... Screen size is nicer than my previous phone Iphone 5. ... "
" ... The display is bright, controls are smooth. ... "
" ... The screen being IPS rather than AMOLED, and 1920x1080 (plenty sharp to my eyes at 424dpi ... Having it easy to reach on the front (rather than back) is worth a slightly larger bottom bezel. ... I guess the "Moto Display" feature, which dimly lights the screen to show alerts when the phone is picked up or moved was meant as a replacement, and this might work for someone who ALWAYS keeps the phone in a pocket or purse, but it's not an adequate substitute for those of us who often leave it on a desk, nightstand etc. ... - Screen brightness, at maximum seems slightly less than the original Moto G. It's plenty bright indoors, but can be a little harder than the older phone to read under direct sun. ... "

" ... Got this phone from Amazon on a special deal. ... "
" ... The photo quality is GREAT. ... "
" ... Also the adds from Amazon I find non intrusive and not a problem for me for the extra discount. ... "
" ... I bought the discounted one with Amazon prime that has Amazon ads. ... "
" ... Bought via Warehouse Deals at a good price as well. ... "
" ... though it's less prominent than photos suggest. ... "
" ... WHY A PRIME PHONE ... I received the phone in two days being a prime member. ... "
" ... I requested a replacement and will update my review when I receive it. ... "
Build Quality

" ... The phone is so slim and sleek that it slipped around in my hand while using it until I put a case on it. ... "
" ... Amazing build for the most part ( Adding in a case definitely is recommended as the side plastic marks get dented easily from falls from mid-distance on hard corners) ... "
" ... The Moto G Plus 5, has a solid, quality feel, and good responsiveness. ... "
" ... Without a case, it is a little slippery because of the aluminum back, but my case solves that issue without adding a lot of thickness. ... "
" ... Feels like an older model of a flagship phone but at a fraction of the price. ... "
" ... More practically, the smooth plastic rim gives less of a secure hold - I never worried about dropping the old G, but did with the G5 Plus. ... Fortunately, this is easily remedied with a simple, thin case like this TUDIA one, which also helps protect the protruding camera "bump" and lets the phone sit flat on its back. ... "
" ... Check it out, it will make you squirm seeing someone abuse their phone like they did. ... "
" ... Very solid phone. ... "

" ... bought one to replace Nexus 4. ... "
" ... Works as good as I thought it should it is a little deferent from the Samsung phones I have used but I can get use to it not much difference so far. ... "
" ... I think it is insane to spend a thousand dollars for a phone, you can get a much better laptop or stand alone PC for that price or even less. ... "
" ... I bought this to replace my HTC One M8 and is my first Motorola\Lenovo phone. ... "
" ... It connects to wifi and Bluetooth quickly. ... "
Design

+100%
" ... The phone is so slim and sleek that it slipped around in my hand while using it until I put a case on it. ... "
" ... Love the high quality metallic look and feel of the phone. ... "
" ... It's not cutting edge or sexy in any way, so if that matters to you look elsewhere. ... "
" ... Slim and decent mobile ... "
" ... - This is obviously subjective as well, but the new styling isn't to my taste. ... I loved the previous G models' understated "black monolith" design, pure dark glass front and rubbery plastic back, next to which this one, especially the plastic faux-chrome around the edges looks a bit cheap, like it's trying to be something it's not, and is prone to showing scratches. ... "
" ... Very solid phone. ... "
" ... Personally I like the look of the phone and the build quality seems good. ... "
" ... The size is just right for me and feels solid, not cheap. ... "
Features

+100%
" ... I think the camera on the Moto 4G was better but the Moto 5G Plus has some nice new features. ... I can't see spending $800 on a flagship phone when these are so much more affordable and have enough features to keep the average phone user happy. ... "
" ... You really can't beat them for price and features. ... "
" ... Love this phone and all of it's features. ... "
" ... It has this "gesture" feature that is kind of impressive: the two tricks I know are that I can turn on the camera with a "quick twist" of my wrist ... "
" ... Full of cleaver features. ... "
" ... Also, "Adaptive brightness" mode must be turned OFF in order to reach maximum brightness - it would be nice if the automatic setting had access to the full range, or provided max/min sliders. ... - please improve the One-Button Nav feature with more customization options. ... "
" ... I played around with it for a bit testing out various features, etc. ... This feature alone is worth the switch! ... "
" ... The cost for either version of this phone is so low, considering the features and performance. ... "
