The Moto G5 Plus smartphone has received positive reviews for its good performance, exceptional value for money, great battery life and its effective fingerprint scanner. Users also thought that the construction is solid and thought that the lack of bloatware was great. However, many thought that the speaker quality is average, while others found that the screen can be too dim or too bright, suggesting that the adaptive brightness was problematic at times.
