Moto E5 Plus and E5 hands-on review

19 April 2018
Motorola made its big media day mostly about its best-seller Moto G-series, focusing on the ever more flagship-looking Moto G6 Plus, Moto G6 Play and plain Moto G6. But the E5 and the E5 Plus, which were also announced today are too well-rounded to be ignored.

          Purchased accidentally / urgently because main smartphone failed. Found an amazing hardware under the hood for an incredible price. (Snapdragon 435, Adreno 505, 3 GBs of RAM, Dual SIM, laser auto-focus. It even came with thin silicon protection cover in the box. It used to be standard priced 167 EUR and found an after-Christmas promotion with 104 EUR.
          It does exactly what I used to do with my previous 650 EUR plus the dual SIM and incredible battery lifetime.
          What literally amazes me is how the technology versus price came so efficient.

                I bought this phone on eBay it was nice and battery is great The only brothers is Mobile connectivity it so hard to get connection over 4g compared to my LG g5 where it's way much faster I would not recommend this phone if you're traveling and constantly changing Sim

                        I inserted one Nano SIM card into the phone and closed it, am trying to open it to insert the second one but I cannot open it even with the instrument provided. Secondly, the mannual is not written in English. Pls help me

                          I recently bought the Moto G5 plus phone through Metro PCS only a couple months ago if that. Day one after purchasing it I picked it up to personalize it for the first time and I noticed all the messages were upside down so I screenshotted them. I've documented all of the error messages that I keep receiving. It's saying my phone is full when it's mostly literally impossible as I had 15 apps just 2 days prior and had deleted them all! So how on Earth is it in fact. I'm headed to Metro right now after contacting them on several occasions. I'm very upset though as there is an incident in which my phone got cracked and I'm concerned that they will dismiss helping me to fix the software issue due to the screen being cracked. Thankfully I do have evidence showing these issues took place before that happened. Is anyone else getting these error messages we're having problems? I'm simply not impressed although I felt it was love at first sight that quickly changed the second I picked it up.

                            Very highly priced for the Indian Market. Consumers are aware of the pricing that other brands are offering and this will kill the successful E series by Moto.

With the 5000 mAh battery, 18:9 display, and 12 MP camera with laser autofocus, honestly the phone is a fantastic deal.

                                      16 gb of room and 2 gb of ram? That's a down grade from the e4 plus. I think there will be changes I'm sure.
