Motorola Moto E5 Play Go - User Reviews

  • Pure unadultrated S&!#......never had a worse phone....save your money....your better off using smoke signals than this phone working.....crashs every 2 minutes....pure S&!#

  • It doesn't have a finger print scanner

  • I have owned this for 7 months. My phone has awful battery life, You can't use the Google search widget when the clock is loading and it randomly turns off. Would I recommend this to be your Full daily driver for the next 1-2 years? Yes and No. Yes if you use your phone as a phone and No if you like to game; If you do game, I'd say spend some more and go with either Moto E5/G7 play, Redmi 7 (3/32) or A20e.

  • This is the worst phone I've owned. It restarts apps when I switch back and fourth between 2. Kicks me out of a game I have had on all my other phones. I would never recommend this phone.

  • Screen is 480p .... NOT HD.

  • Not even close to being slow. I got this and was able to play music over my bluetooth sound system & surf the net & open apps all without lag.

  • I bought this phone thinking it would be great. What a disappointment. My contacts keep disappearing and they started out in alphabetical order, now they are all scrabbled. I'm really hating this phone... I wasted my money. Do not bother with Motorola products....they are garbage...not the good reliable products they used to be.

  • Don't waste your time and money, the screen strobes when you open any apps and it is very slow. After it finishes with the updates it gets even worse. I only used this phone for a week and I went and bought an LG zone 4

  • Not a bad phone for under £100.It s better than a lot of phones in the price point. Shame it is not getting android 9 go.

  • Screen looks really good to me. Do not understand comment.

  • My local Walmart had the gold E4 play on closeout for $30. I went back to get the 2 they had and they had moved the whole Verizon section and apparently sent the E4's back to Verizon. Days later I saw these for sale, what a joke. I pity anyone anyone who buys these POS. Huge step back and doesn't even make since with the numbering.

  • True, stupid choices from Lenovo (Motorola).

  • I do not understand what the Motorola tried to do here, the low price does not justify the poor quality screen, without mention the little capacity of the battery, I've saw its cameras and they're not up the scratch compared with other 8mp cameras, this one is a bad purchase, for 110 dollars you can get a better phone.

  • Actually a good beginner gaming phone. Performance is flawless with the 425 SOC. Cameras are good. Screen is crap. Im expecting updates Motorola.

  • With Android Go, that amount of RAM is OK.

  • As I just wrote, in Germany this exact same phone has a 5.3in display. Maybe it‘s a mistake by GSMArena?? Maybe they confused the specs with a different Moto E??

  • In Germany, this phone with the same specs and same Design but a 5.3in display is being sold simply as „Moto E5 Play“. It‘s rather confusing, Motorola’s lineup

  • This isn't the point, it's a budget entry-level smartphone.

  • Does it really have only 1GB of RAM in the world where smartphone has reached upto 8GB RAM?

  • The xiaomi redmi 5A costs less and literally have a better ram battery camera and cpu than this phone, the only thing this one is "better" at is the screen size and the fact that it has a fingerprint scanner

  • Still crap 2100 mAh battery and this huge screen the phone will last barely 18 hours on a charge. And i dont think a 16GB diskspace phone with such a big screen would cost 60-80 euros.

  • What if it drops to 60-80 euros?

  • Worst device of 2018 if we compare screen to battery and price. For a 110 euros xiaomi offers zillion times better devices.

  • Doesn't look like 16:9 screen.

  • 5.8 inc 480p + 2100 mah + 1 gb ram that's not cheap, that's pure s*** (so 110 eur xiaomi's far better than this)

  • WTF? This ultra low budget phone can't have almost 6 inch display, this must be a mistake.

  • This phone is badly in need of a longer name

  • 1GB Ram and 168 ppi !!??

  • Nokia 2.1 is far better
