Bought this to replace a Samsung phone. Nice phone with good features. Good performance and volume. Sharp, large screen and good battery performance. Nice camera with good software.

The short story: lots of updates initially but the payoff is great. Motorola has common sense that apparently Samsung does not and actually includes the USB-C cable AND wall adapter with the phone. The screen is big and everything looks good - played a song and the sound is decent - remember, this isn’t a boombox so music on this isn’t going to start any party. The teardrop on the screen is acceptable and less distracting than looking at a hole on the screen like so many other models. The phone charged fairly quickly - I’ve already got the feeling that this battery is a beast and will hold a charge for a very long time. Super fast processor - no lagging or quirks. This is my first foray away from the Moto E line. I bought this to replace my Moto E 2020 that recently started having issues with the network connection dropping frequently. I’ve been a Moto E girl since the 1st generation came out in 2014. I chose this because it has the Snapdragon Processor - I’ve tried other phones that use MediaTek processors and I just don’t have the patience for them. Snapdragon all the way…. My first impression is there are a lot of updates initially - which is not a problem - updates are good and keep us protected. So I advise charging the phone, setting it up on your Google account and then going into Google Play and getting all of that updating done first. Then you can go to System Update in the settings menu to begin the painstaking (but worthwhile) process below. The first update will be Android 11 - don’t worry, it doesn’t take up as much room as you think it will. Then there are a bunch of security updates - they go back to when the phone was first manufactured in 2021 and go up to October 2022. You don’t have a choice but to just let each one download and restart your system each time. I recommend snacks and a good movie that you don’t mind pausing every now and then as you work your way through the initial updates. After the updates...it is oh so smooth sailing.....

This phone is close in comparison to a lot of higher end phones back in 2020, It has surprisingly kept up to this day and hasn't slowed down. Beautiful display, good camera, and optimal performance!

I like how easy it is to use and the picture quality is good.

The Moto g Play phone is easy to setup and use. I like the larger screen size which makes it easier to read and the display is crystal clear; the processing speed is excellent; and the camera captures high-quality photos and videos.
