Our takeEditorial
The Boost Celero5G+ does exactly what it promises: it delivers 5G access at a budget price. For Boost Mobile customers who want to step up to a 5G device without a major financial commitment, the $49.99 new-line price or $6.67/month installment option makes this an easy, low-risk upgrade. The 64GB storage base is adequate for typical everyday use, and the color choices add some personality to a no-frills package.

This is not a phone for power users, heavy photographers, or anyone expecting a premium experience. It is a phone for people who need reliable 5G connectivity and straightforward daily functionality at the lowest possible cost. On those terms, it delivers a fair deal.

The Optimist
“FIVE-GEE FOR FIFTY BUCKS! Are you hearing this?! The Boost Celero5G+ just walked into the room wearing a Sunrise Orange jacket and said 'I cost less than a nice dinner and I have 5G!' This is the most democratic thing to happen to wireless technology since free nights and weekends. You get 5G connectivity, 64 whole gigabytes of storage, and TWO gorgeous color options for the price of a video game. Twilight Blue! Sunrise Orange! This phone has more color personality than devices costing ten times as much. At $6.67 a month on installments, you are spending less on your phone than most people spend on a monthly streaming service. LESS. THAN. STREAMING. The Celero5G+ is proof that 5G belongs to everyone. Get it. Gift it. Live your best wireless life.”

The Cynic
“Congratulations, you have found the absolute floor of 5G ambition. The Boost Celero5G+ exists to put the words '5G' on a price tag and dare you to argue with $49.99. And yes, it technically has 5G — in the same way a folding chair technically has seating. The 64GB of storage will vanish faster than your optimism once the apps and photos arrive. It comes in Twilight Blue and Sunrise Orange, which are at least enthusiastic names for a phone that is otherwise not enthusiastic about anything in particular. Budget phones like this exist to remind you that somewhere between 'flagship' and 'disposable,' there is a whole spectrum of 'functional.' The Celero5G+ lives firmly in that spectrum, quietly doing the minimum required to justify its existence on a carrier shelf. Respect, sort of.”
