Motorola Moto G Play | 2024 | Unlocked | Made for US 4/64GB | 50MP Camera | Sapphire Blue

I will start off by saying I have no interest in $1000+ cell phones - to me they are disposable devices that get replaced every few years. That said, this is the perfect phone for my purposes. The coverage (carrier dependent), audio, display quality and speed are perfect for my needs. I use the this as - wait for it - a phone - as well for texting and taking some pictures, mapping directions, etc.This is my 4th or 5th Motorola phone, and I have always been happy with the value proposition. Even through my former carrier the Motorola phones have always had much less bloatware than, say Samsung (ugh) which loads up their phones with all kinds of nonsense. When you buy it unlocked it comes with even less bloatware, and you can delete or disable most of it.It is much faster than my old phone, which one would expect, with 8MB of RAM, and 128MB of internal storage. There are several things I like about this phone, a couple being that it still has a headphone jack, and also it will take a micro SD card for additional storage. Both of these features are found on very few phones these days. There are 2 features that are unique to Motorola on the phones I have had, including this one, that are REALLY convenient. You can open the camera app just by twisting your wrist, and you can turn on the flashlight by a chopping motion - no screen to wake up or app to start up - brilliant really.Also, the battery life (5000ma) is phenomenal. I can use it all day, leave it overnight, and it will still have plenty of charge the next day. I really only charge it every other day. I will note that I turn off as many background processes as I can, don't watch movies on the phone (really?), and in general use it as a tool, not a brain-sucking toy (editorial comment :-). If you want a well functioning device and don't want to spend huge dollars this phone may be right for you.

Didn't come with a charger though.

Really impressed by the quality and the price of this phone. I don't need a super expensive device to get me through my day. This operates smooth and fast and feels sleek and modern in its design. My last phone was an LG V40 thin q and I ran it ragged until I couldn't use it anymore. Happy to say I am switching to Motorola products from now on.

This is a really nice phone. I've always tried to stick with Motorola after having worked for them in the late 80s, early 90s. This was an upgrade to a 5G Ace I had for several years. This Motor 5G Power is pretty fast. The extra power is good. I didn't need this but I felt it would be better in the long run.It lives up to its claims in lasting long. It lasts much longer than my 5G Ace and it should. Using the phone you sometimes notice where a compromise to make the battery last longer was made. Certain things don't make sense about why they did it. Other quirks about it are like multi function buttons which don't make sense. The phone is fast but you'll get frustrated waiting on it at odd times. I use swipe to type with. If I try to swipe at the speed I'm used to with the 5G ACE it will skip weird, etc.Wifi works great other than surfing. The 5G connectivity and data usage work fantastic. My Ace was always out of range for any 5g signal. The 5G connectivity has been important to me.This phone has so many pros the cons won't really matter to most. I have monster hands that most people don't. For me, it went from hard to type to very hard to type. The multi function buttons seem unnecessary and unintuitive. Lots of notifications turned on in the first use which are difficult to get turned off. And you think you have those turned off but another one pops up. Annoying but manageable.A good Pro for me is the display. I have a form of AMD which makes it hard to read phones sometimes. This phone has more adjustments for fonts and icon sizes than ever seen before.And the front or rear are very sharp. Taking a photo of a car one day when I noticed the cars lines were more visible on the screen. (For me)Things like those are why I love these Moto phones.I'd give it 5 stars if not for the speed and quirks. Those may not matter to anyone who really needs the power. I was hospitalized for a few days recently. The phone charger I grabbed going out the door was broken by the time I was in a room. The phone lasted the weekend until I could get s working charger.The phone looks great in the green color. The fingerprint sensor is a little hard to calibrate but it works great. It's covered up with the case I use. There are some cases that have an opening to use the sensor.Overall, a great phone. Too much sacrificed for power. I'm probably going to purchase a regular Moto 5G

Well i have previously bought motorola phones from Amazon, and i have never had a problem, till i ordered the Moto G 5G, It will not work in Australia, so i am now stuck with a brand new phone, that i cannot use!!

Was NOT unlocked.......returned item only to find it is now "lost in transit"......What an inconvenience this is. I am still waiting for a resolution to the problem.Unhappy customer.

Seems like a great phone.My daughter loves the gesture features for flashlight and camera. She can customize those to some degree.Pretty good camera. Not great at night but probably much better if you know how to adjust the settings.Battery seems good. She's a teenager and sometimes uses it most of the day on a weekend. Seems to hold up without needing to be charged when she's primarily texting or scrolling. She doesn't use it to game, so can't speak to battery there.Easy to find a good case and glass screen protector.No problems with call quality.Works fine with Mint Mobile physical sim even though it didn't show up as compatible phone type

Usually you have to choose when it comes to phones . Do you want quality or affordability? With this phone I got a perfect mux if both so im very pleased with the phone over all. I had prepared myself for something that fitted the value. However I have to say the quality is better than I expected. Better visibility from all directions. Runs smooth and efficiently with very little lag. Screen is a great size for watching videos without being to big to handle during typing with one hand. Battery life seems to last even with me on the phone constantly. Feels great regardless if your using both hands in landscape or one hand in portrait. It seems pretty durable. However I haven't tested that part. Overall if you're looking for a budget friendly and good quality phone with minimum sacrifices. I'd highly recommend this phone.
