          I don't use it anymore but i love that phone so much. The processor is a bit small but i miss having a headphone jack, removable battery and such a small screen

            i had this moto g5 a few years ago, the specs of the phone shows a resolution of 1920x1080, i can assure you that this is false, i think it's more like 1280x720 the screen was blurry

              The electronics are good for the price, but mechanics (power button and audio jack) are garbage. I had to install a lock app to replace the power-button to turn off the screen.

                I own one of these. It has been very reliable except for one thing. it refuses to use an external micro Sd card well. It corrupts the card every time the phone is re-booted. The card can be fixed in a PC but it is a real pain and you lose your music / pictures. Given it has a 16Gb internal drive this is now going to spell the end of this phone. Battery has been good.

                  this also came with charging problems, but cause it has a removable battery we found a solution. you glue some usb charger cable with some wires sticked on the battery but when you try to plug the usb charger cable it will not pop up that its charging. but when you think its ready, take out the battery and put it again like 3 times and it will say how it charged. i dont know why but the trick only charges up to 87% but thats ok

                          Still works fine, will keep it as long as possible.

                            Within the past couple of months the battery has begun to not hold a charge as well, after a spontaneous overheat a few months ago while sitting unused on a table. I've been keeping it on the charger during the day. Not bad for a 4 year old phone but it is starting to show its age. I have the S, so its battery isn't user-replaceable, alas my hubris!

                              Still works great after nearly 4 years. Love the removable battery.

                                No problem for four years until now, after I dropped it on the floor. I liked it from the start. It came with relatively few apps that you can download and choose what felt important to you.

                                        4 years using this phone and it's great, considering the tier/price point! still on the stock firmware (8.1), I don't see many drawbacks apart from speed or camera - things you expect when buying cheap phone :) depends on each person' usage, for me it's sufficient enough!
