    This is the worst phone I have ever had or even used. It's very slow. The normal functions from Motorola are gone. When you start it up go do something while you wait for it to finish starting.

      Hi Brian, We're sorry to hear about your experience with your phone. That’s not the experience we want for our customers, and we’d love the opportunity to help. Slow is sometimes caused by too many running apps in the background, use your recent apps button to close apps you're not using. It is also a good practice to restart the device periodically (every 2-3 days) to clear out buffers and memory that may lead to intermittent issues. If the concern persists, kindly go to this link: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/mcp/landing_troubleshooter/g_id/5059 > Next > Display/Touchscreen > Phone is slow/unstable and try the recommended steps there. Let us know if this helps by sending us an email at supportforums@motorola.com. -Mitch MotorolaMobility

      Hi Siene, Thanks for bringing this to our attention, I know how concerning this problem can be. Phones do get warm and even hot, but almost never dangerously so. It is normal for a phone to get warm while charging and discharging, and the faster it is charging -- or the more power it is using -- the hotter it may get. If you are gaming streaming media navigating, etc., you should expect the phone to get warm. If your phone should ever get warm enough to be concerning, you should see a warning, and the phone is expected to shut down automatically, so it can be cool. These are rare events, but the safeguards are there. If you ever need help, give us a holler or reach out to our official Moto G Play community page: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/moto-g-play-2023/bd-p/moto_g_play_2023_en. -Mitch MotorolaMobility
