Motorola Moto E5 - User Reviews

  • Sim 2 does not connect to network frequently. Even when same network Sims are inside, sim 1 slot will connect but sim 2 showing no network signal.

  • Everything with the phone is all right, but the ram memory. Sometimes it slows down its performance

  • can't you use google photo to get pix from phone to PC?

  • Yes! It is.

  • Is moto E5 supports OTG

  • sorry i ever got this phone...you have to be a an it guy to to get it to transfer photos to my computer...what a waste...

  • Is this phone able to stream directly to hearing aids? If so what hearing aid is compatible.

  • (sorry for bad english) i bought it for 2 days in first impression its fantastic smooth - nice camera - fast responce but battery work same as 3000mAh phones or i expect much of battery

  • Great budget phone.

  • only one model has nfc learn to read

  • Actually I think this phone is great. Here's what I do with ANY Android device - The trick re performance on any Android cell phone, is to get an SD card and use that as the internal storage. To achieve this (if you don't know) you make yourself a developer on the phone (Google it if you don't know how). You then get the option to FORCE apps to install on the SD card. This also improves performance of the device overall, as the phone uses the SD card as a write disk. You also need to turn off all the extraneous rubbish that runs in the background (i.e. via the apps menu), and things that are using background data/battery. Doing those things makes even a cheap low-end phone that many would give bad reviews, WAY more usable (e.g. even a Huawei Y360 running Android 4.4.4 became a better performer, even though it only has 512 MB of RAM. Adding the SD card and doing as per the above, changed that phone considerably - I was able to use it as a Wi-Fi hotspot and backup cell phone for ages, with ZERO issues). Back to the E5 - I got mine second hand, screen was in excellent condition and overall I find the phone is good quality. Not sure what others are expecting, though mine was comparable in quality and clarity etc to a friends Samsung Galaxy. Ditto re size, weight. The 13MP camera takes quality photos. Really happy with mine! Apps run smooth and fast - multiple apps at once at that - and battery life is good with the 4000 mAh battery. This phone is a suitable semi-replacement for my laptop, which is exactly what I was looking for - albeit without the high-end brand name price tags.

  • No NFC. Just returned to Best Buy. Lenovorola has lied to us again!

  • Screen quality is really low,i dropped mine a few days after i got it, and a 45cm (1 ½ft) tall drop, it shattered like if a truck had run over it, im really disapointed at motorola and this device, also, apps take a while to load and sometimes crash. not really worth it.

  • bad screen design, used lower grade glass to produce higher profits and consumer suffers. I will be tossing mine in the trash as soon as I can.

  • have mine in Uganda, bought direct from Motorola UK

  • new updates for moto camera has fixed it

  • Great battery life. Issues with camera focusing. Can be fixed with third party apps that force focus each shot (get one that disables Wavelet Denoise if you can).

  • It seems that the "E" and "C" lines don't get any updates, while the "G" line receive at least one.

  • When is going to launch in Nigeria

  • Just ordered for one, will wait and see

  • Personally I am a fan of Motorola. But after Lenovo, I think twice before buying a Moto handset. There is always a confusion, if my handset will be updated to latest Android ( though being nearly vanilla version). Except premium series of Motorola, it never sure if the handset will get any updates. There is no word about Moto e5 series for future updates. Nokia in that sense has played a master stroke by declaring most of it's series as Android One handset. This actually is an surity that there will be some updates in future. But for Motorola ( say Lenovo) there is no such word of assurance with respect to Moto E5.

  • Just released in India

  • Good phone, good battery backup dual SIM and Max display is awesome

  • It may only have 10.something GB free after system setup, but you can make up 4 it if you have a memory card... I have a 32GB Memory Card, so it should work out...

  • NFC?

  • I've just started using this. There is about 10.5GB free after setting the device up.

  • yes, slots for two nano sims

  • Reviews say this is dual sim, but nothing in the description says so...Anyone know for sure?

  • G6Play uses a 430/427 the E5 uses a 425, it's THE budget qualcomm chip everyone's using right now

  • this is just the same looks and spec like the g6 play moto

  • how much internal memory is available for user of 16 GB ?

  • First you change back camera looks its looks horrible yaar. this type of camera looks i don't understand

  • I think price will be 130 euro The weakest point always are usb where water comes in. I haw not seen any cases yet!

  • Good battery average specs great device.

  • where is the moto e5 play??

  • powered by mediatek 6750 1.4GHz Octa-Core thats why its expensive

  • USB-C, Snap 450, clean Android (One project or so... ) and a pricetag under 150€ ... that would be a reasonable low-ranger ... but we all know it won't happen

  • Can I buy the charger first?

  • Good phone but the price o my god. Very expensive.

  • Any update on when the G6+G6S are being released? Could be interesting!...

  • I love it.

  • Motorola is rocking some great device with amazing stock android experience, they just need some marketing and may be a better design, but they are legend living among us :)
