DoctorQuality, 22 Nov 2023This phone is currently on closeout at Walmart for just $9.... moreHonestly the phone isn't as slow as the reviews made it out to be,
Then again I'm a light user and don't install many apps, nor play games on my phone
But for the overall experience, it runs just fine, with an amazing battery life, and it has my most used feature, the precious headphone jack
Definitely recommend this phone if your looking for a no frills basic smartphone
I do miss the removable battery however :(

This phone is currently on closeout at Walmart for just $9.88 with a $40/month 15Gb AT&T prepaid plan. Heck a case for this phone will cost more than the phone itself! You can change it to a $30/month 5Gb plan when you pay for your second month. OK, other posters say it's slow. But it is a full sized phone with excellent imagry. So if you just need an extra full-size phone with a high-pixel image and you don't want to do any streaming and such ... for your kid or your glove box or whatever ... you really can't do better than this.

It does in fact have the fm radio app, you just have to go into the play store, type in moto fm radio and enable it
Motorola just doesn't pre install the radio app anymore for some reason
It's my favorite and most needed app that keeps me with motorola, so I'm happy to see it still around
Just like previous models, you use your headphones as the antenna receiver for the fm radio
Unfortunately, that is the only bright spot for this phone, as this phone's software is so SLOW!!!!!!!
Which is a shame as I loved the 2021 g play model, this phone is such a huge downgrade from the 2021 model,
That even at $50 I feel ripped off

My old g7 power died and I got one of these figuring it wouldn't be any worse than what I had, I was mistaken. This phone felt slower than a 2019 phone with Lineage OS on it and I'm having issues with wifi calling which I never had before. The build is fine for the price and the battery life is good. I don't care about the camera at all so no comment on that but the CPU/memory combo subjectively feels worse than a 4 year old phone. If you just need cheap and don't care beyond that I guess this phone is fine but I've started shopping for an upgrade.

At&t/cricket versions are $49.99 at Walmart so it's justified for the price even undercuts some white label phones in terms of price, but wouldn't recommend the unlocked version theirs better options out there from Blu and Samsung

Mills, 17 Nov 2022I don't get the stigma of the name. Moto G Play? If it... moreIt has play in the name because it's a toy. You'll give this to your kid to make him less attached to smartphone and go play outside.

I been A year with cracked screen to point I couldn't take no more. So I caved and purchased a. New MOTO G PLAY 2023 32GB BLUE INDIGO DEVICE. My carrier was running a cell sale and I didn't get the cheapest on the site but I know the last 4 phones I have had had been Motorola phones since LG Cells are almost obsolete in my area. 😭 I had a moto g play 21 before this. I was pleased with it. I definitely liked the Stylus but I just can't afford given I'm a victim it n past couple yrs to flood and lost All I ever owned or had. This Phone was 5th phone down on page from prices lowest to high. I know I had older versions an was ok with. So far it's done me ok. I have to readjust and get to know the platform and setup given the older model I had for so long. The only issues I am having isn't the phone I don't think. But some apps I already had I play on thru Facebook as my log in option only Google Chrome keeps telling me I have to wait until reactivate and the provider of the app is aware of this content and is looking Into my request. But how? Given I wasn't signed in yet. I do realize everything I download I have to go into settings and give permission or can't access app. I say for what price I paid half of what goes for on this page I can't say I am disappointed. Wish was unlocked but my carrier has rules by your phone not account on the length you have it before you can get accepted thru requesting for unlocking. Which I think is ridiculous. You madea sale regardless by someone purchasing the device under your brand. And if a customer had even been with you from beginning of your starting up just getting your name out there should automatically have options without stipulation. Phone is perfect size, lightweight, I like that the camera is in corner this time not top center..but the ringtones and notifications could be louder. I can barely hear. I'd say like old saying goes. You get what you pay for. I think I did alright with the sale price I got it for. I usually need a 64gb but lord of know me knows I need to learn I don't need so many apps. So far I have quite a few and no problems of loading or slow or telling me yet I have to free up space. So if your not looking for anything more then a normal cell but able to browse social media and play a few addictive games and maybe have some other streaming apps or excel for diy, or small business this phone passes by my opinion.

I had a G Play 2021 that was a pretty good entry phone. But I thought they would at least have 4/64 GB for the 2023 model.

Phones with 8 A53 cores need to end. All phones with only small CPU cores need to end. At least one old A73 core, is it too much to ask?

I have a moto g play 2021 and its a great phone. Battery lasts 2+ weeks with light use. This one looks nicer visually but why downgrade the snapdragon 460 which has four a73 and four a53 to the helio g37 which has eight of the a53 cores. Seems like a downgrade in speed and its gonna run android 12 which needs a faster CPU. Give us a snapdragon 480 or a mediatek 700, Motorola!
