Best for very light usage (2 GB RAM, 16 GB storage)
The Motorola Moto G6 Play is a lower end version of the Motorola Moto G6, well it doesn't really show that except in looks. The HD+ display is nice with the 18:9 aspect ratio, paired up with the 4000mah battery can easily last for around a whole day. It recently got android 9 pie as an update that added new features to the phone that it's more powerful counterpart already had. Mostly the phone by itself is fine, camera isn't mindblowingly great, performance is mostly less that expected for a Snapdragon 427, and security with its rear fingerprint scanner is fast at times. The rear camera isn't too great, most pictures are usually brighter and have less contrast than on something like an iPhone X. Gaming on this phone (which is advertised for gaming) isn't great either, games like Minecraft or asphalt 8 tend to lag and sometimes freeze, less demanding games but with alot of animations like wordscape also suffer from the issue, most simple non-demanding 2d games work fine on here (geometry dash, neko atsume, stickman hook). Security is like most smartphones, the fingerprint reader works fast (unlike the phone) and doing your pin and pattern is usually easy... usually... Overall if you need something for very simple use then I recommend it. Now excuse me as I throw this away and get a Redmi Note 7

G6p77, 04 Jul 2019Pie update is followed by security updates. And what can I ... moreIt happened the other way around on our G6 Play. It got 2 security updates that were installed and handset rebooted twice, than downloaded the Android-9 Pie update. We have the indigo blue with a transparent, blue-ish TPU case for it.
Interestingly this international model only has 16-GB of ROM and 2-GB of RAM, however for the price, it was the best bang ($100- USD).
In the review they list some phones as competition, I'd love to see how many of those 2017/18 phones have Pie update running on them by OEM now.

Hi guys! Bought this phone three days ago. It asked me to download security updates. After I installed one update the phone got slower. Don't know why. Should I install those updates? More updates on the way. What should I do?
Thnx!

I disabled the Dolby app and installed bass booster from the app store. This appeared to sort my issues.
