    A lesser version of the Moto G (5) plus. (only one SIM)

    A lesser version of the Moto G (5) plus. (only one SIM)
    A nice phone. my first smart phone, so ill skip a lot of subjective stuff. Most spec sheets show dual SIM cards support (google it). Many you tube videos show dual sim trays. This product seems to be a lesser version with a plastic filled in the second part of the tray. It shows polish marks from repeated rubbing of the contact points for the second card slot, on to the filler plastic. This seems to indicate the phone itself can support the dual sim feature. It may not be easy to get a hold of the standard version of the sim tray. Dual sim support is clearly shown in the manual, and many sites reporting on phone specs. There was no clear warning that this product is a less version in this regard.It seems to be a good solid phone so far. the only hiccups are the nano sim, (had to buy a sim cutter) and the bad sim tray. I'd also like to recommend the anker 'Fusion 5000' and the app 'AccuBattery'. it works well with smart phones if you don't like to leave it charging somewhere.

    5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent mid-range phone that suits all of my needs!
    Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2017
    Verified Purchase
    Please keep in mind that I am rating this phone with 5 stars because it really met my expectations. I can say I am a tech savvy guy who likes to do some research before purchasing any electronic product.

    So having said that, I can tell you that upgrading from a Huawei Y-330 (a low-budget phone) was a huge step forward. The result: a very satisfied costumer who would like to recommend the Moto G5 Plus for people like me who are looking for a mid-range affordable phone.
    The Moto G5 Plus is an excellent choice for you everyday tasks: phone calls, social media, email and taking pictures.

    After a couple of weeks I have no complaints about this phone. Android OS 7 has never crashed, every app runs smoothly, picture-quality is really good (you can shoot 4K video), speaker might be not be the best in the market but it is more than enough when it comes to phone calling, watching videos and listening to music. Seriously, I am enjoying my music while having breakfast and don't need to turn the volume up to the maximum.

    Now let's talk about my favorite technical spec: the fingerprint reader. It is very fast, accurate and IMO very useful. I just love it because I don't have to draw any patterns or type in a password. If you want to take more advantage of it, try the Moto App and give the swipe options a try.

    But what about the things I dislike? Well, like I said before: I don't have any complaints about this phone. What I didn't like so much was the front-camera. I don't know much about other front-camera lenses but this one is like a fish-eye lens when you hold it too close to your face, haha! In my case this is not a deal-breaker since I don't use it that much. The farther you keep it from your face, the lesser fish-eye effect you will get.

    Remember I said I was upgrading from a Huawei Y-330? I also have to say to I have previously owned an iPhone 5S. Is the Moto G5 Plus better? It might be. The fingerprint sensor is faster, display quality is better, camera is better... I know it is not fair to compare this phones since the G5 was released 4 years after the iPhone 5S, I just want you to know a little more about my experience with cell phones. The G5 Plus is heavier, bigger, thinner than the iPhone 5S. It is not as tall nor as heavy as the iPhone 7 Plus but it is just a little bit thicker than it (a difference that you might not even notice).

    Before I finish this review let me say that I don't do mobile-gaming so I haven't pushed the graphics to the limit. Display quality is really good, you can choose between natural-color mode and enhanced-color mode. I have never been a fan of adaptive brightness on any of my electronics devices so I can't say anything about it. You won't have any annoying HISS when you plug in your headphones, and the volume levels are very well distanced from each other, even the lower ones. Battery charges very fast thanks to Turbo-Charging. But does it last long? In my case, sometimes it lasts the whole day. Just be sure to take the charger with you to the office (which I bet you do).

    Please take note on the following: I am not saying this is the best phone in the market but it might be the best mid-range phone for my needs (which are not extremely demanding). If you want a phone that runs fast, that lets you browse the web with no hiccups, takes good-quality pictures, and provides good-quality phone calls, then this should be your choice. What makes it even more attractive? Its price. Really. You won't be disappointed.

    UPDATE 1: I forgot to say I am residing now in South America and have no problem with my service provider so far. Just switched the SIM card from the old phone to this new G5 Plus.

    UPDATE 2: Phone works with USB On-The-Go Flash Drives. I have been using Sandisk 64GB OTG Dual Drive USB 3.0 and it works like a charm. Transferring files between the G5 Plus and the USB Drive is easy and super fast.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome phone
    Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2018
    Verified Purchase
    I absolutely love this phone. It's really close to stock Android 7 (EDIT: it recently updated to Android 8)...the only thing Motorola adds is a couple of settings and one Motorola app, neither of which are invasive at all. The phone's pretty fast, and everything on it works really well. The fingerprint sensor is spot on and works like a charm to instantly unlock it. Having an SD card slot was a must-have for me, and obviously this phone has one. I recommend this phone to all of my friends and family (they never buy it, because they all want flagship phones, but I'm a software engineer and a huge techie, so maybe that counts for something when I say I love this phone).

    The auto-focus on the camera could be better, but the camera has a pretty high resolution, so if you have the patience and steadiness to take a well-focused picture, your pictures will look nice.

    That's probably my only complaint about this phone. It's lacking some of the other features that the flagship phones tend to have, e.g. Wi-Fi direct and NFC, but those features were always gimmicky to me anyways, plus I never used them. What you get with this phone is a solid device that will do all of the core smartphone stuff really well. That's all I ask for in a device, and this phone delivers, and for a good price.

    Lastly, I've also noticed that the Android security updates seem to come at fairly regular intervals and not too long after Google releases the official updates, so that's a plus. I'm currently at the Android security patch level from early April, and it's currently the end of July, so that's a couple of months behind Google (with my previous Verizon-locked Samsung devices, I was often 6 months or more behind).

    EDIT: I just wrote this review earlier today, and about an hour ago I got an Android update up to June 1 patch level, so now I'm fairly on schedule. It's solid

    EDIT 2: For buyers considering a Moto G6 or G7 (or newer phone in this line), be aware: I've had this phone for a year and a half now, and these past few months it's been very slow. It's definitely a software thing, as Android and all the apps that go in it just become so bloated as time goes on. It's absolutely mad that this phone, with its 8-core 2.0GHz processor and 2GB of RAM, struggles to navigate around the Spotify app. Keeping my review at 5 stars, since I got a solid year+ out of this phone for only $220, but newer software has just really bogged this thing down. Keep that in mind if you're looking at buying one of these budget Motorola phones, and just understand that you're not getting a flagship-quality device.

    Exactly as advertised, brand new.
    Very good phone with more than enough oomph for all current and probably future Android apps.
    Works well with Koodo and LTE here in Canada, BC (Item model number 01110NARTL - US version (XT1687))
    Very good camera, very fast in every aspect (coming from a Samsung Galaxy S4), looks very good.
    Wife like overall speed and shake-for-flashlight best :)
    And, of course, the lightning fast fingerprint sensor. Now she can have her phone locked and unlock it in a second.
    Currently on Android 7, did not notice any issues, heard they update this to 8.1 soon, if we're lucky, all the bugs from 8.0 are fixed by then.
    File transfer (USB 2) is significantly faster than it was on the Samsung, I measured about 25MB/sec+ (writing) to the phone, made it easy to copy all her music and stuff back from the Samsung.
    And, as usual with Moto phone, no crapware, just pure Android. Love it.
    Seller packaged it well and shipped it quickly. Would buy again!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Moto G5 Plus unlocked smartphone
    Reviewed in Canada on June 21, 2020
    Verified Purchase
    I got this phone recently, and so far it's great. The touch screen and the screen colour are good, the speaker is good for a phone, the camera and battery life are decent, and the processor is certainly fast enough for typical phone use. The back camera sticks out a little bit, so you will want a phone case designed to protect that. The fingerprint reader works except when fingers are wet. I don't know yet how well the battery will last, which could be a potential concern since it's a non removable battery. It may be because G5 is an older version, but it also updates a lot, so you might want to use the expandable memory option as well. Overall, it's a good value for money phone.

    Can't say enough good things about the XT1681. Definitely should have ditched my s7 sooner and bought this when it first rolled out. There is some great features included such as, tap and hold the gear button to access special settings, double shake for flashlight, double twist for camera, dual sim feature, and a bunch more. Not bad for stock Android 7.0 (Oreo 8 update in the works soon)
    Setup was a snap and defaults to English even though the manual is in Spanish. Took about 10 minutes and I was good to go.
    No manufacturer bloatware.
    Factory unlocked.
    Totally root friendly. (Moto will void warranty) - no big deal
    Works with Canadian carriers easily.
    Has NFC installed by default.
    Wifi connects easily and stays connected, no drop offs.
    Battery is solid. No draining issues.
    Decent camera, not the best but ok - if you care about that sort of thing.
    Plays everything 1080p I throw at it so far.
    Quality construction and design. Nice looking phone and feels good in the hands.
    I would recommend the G5 Plus for anyone wishing to save some money but not sacrifice on quality and speed.
    Compared to the 1000 bucks you will spend on a flagship... this a no-brainer imho.

    Super disappointed after two years of using this phone. I did my research and it said this phone was compatible with Verizon (on Verizon's website no less) but since then I've been having problems ever since. It generally works in Canada, but when I go back to the States it only connects to data and calls and texts won't go through.

    Also besides that its just a trash phone, horrible camera quality, super super slow and crashes a lot. I constantly delete files and caches to clear up memory but it just fills up again and gets as slow as it was before within two weeks.
