Very good for the price
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good basic low priced phone. Headphone jack and SD card slot are definatly positive features. Nice display and easy to use. It is not fast like flagship phones, but good for the price. Only negative is 32GB is a little low on the memory side, can be helped by adding SD card.

Can't Beat the Price
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have owned this phone for about six months. I wanted an inexpensive phone with year current (2023) security. The MOTO G Play fits the bill. It has not failed me yet. Motorola and others make better, faster phones. This one works well for my use case. I believe this will make an excellent choice for a first phone for children. If they break it or lose it, the parents will not be out much money.

Phone great. Northlake Tucker Ga.store horrible
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Liked the phone because of the price and being very user friendly. However getting it activated was a nightmare using chat bot. Did not have a phone to call a ride share and the representative would not call the store to arrange transportation since I'm elderly and don't drive.

Cost effective smartphone
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent for it's value. Handles all of the expectations of a modern smartphone. I'm very pleasantly surprised with the personalization settings really helps me use my phone the way I want to. Battery life is truly exceptional. It however does not currently support monster hunter now which was a minor disappointment. Motorola has focused well on what matters to everyday consumers. I will return to their product lineup if I need a replacement.

Save up. Cheap phones are not good anymore
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this while traveling as my current phone had broken and I wanted something to use before I purchased an actual phone. This is hands down the worst phone I've ever used in my life. It lags just hours after setting it up. There is hardly any RAM to run more than two apps at once. There's also no storage to do anything meaningful with the phone. The camera software is also horrible to use and not worth any person's time. There was a time when cheap smartphones like the moto g line were a respectable way to have an extremely affordable phone. But now it's become a shell of its former self. Don't be fooled by the big screen, you won't have any fun using this thing.

Tons of issues with the phone
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this phone in November (I was upgrading from a Motorola G5 plus that never gave me any issues other than updated apps wouldn't work on the device) I already run out of memory space. I only have 2 photos on the phone and a ringtone. The apps that came with the phone plus 8 apps, like Peacok, duolingo. A game, codycross and that's all. I already had to reset the phone twice because it freezes. The headphone jack doesn't work. Sound is not great but doable with wireless headphones. Battery life is great. Screen size is perfect for me. Overall, I was expecting this phone to surpass my other Motorola G5 plus but instead it falls short. Now, I'm waiting to Black Friday to get a new phone and definitely won't be a Motorola.

Great value! No complaints!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm really happy with this phone! It is a great value for the money. It's totally responsive, with no lag. The screen is very readable. I don't use a lot of apps so I've never run into any memory issues. The battery easily lasts for a few days without charging. I haven't used the camera much, but it seems to be decent for this price point.
