- Moto G Play 2023 3-Day Battery Unlocked Made for US 3/32GB 16MP Camera Navy Blue

The Moto G Play 2023 (unlocked) cost me $100 and serves as a great replacement for my UlePhone P13 with Andriod version 11. The Ulephone had failed due to a leaky battery. The Moto G was easy to set up. First, I opened up the box and noted that the user manual had a "quick start" manual that was too brief. As per the quick start leaflet I put in the memory card and the sim card from my old phone. The battery showed a 60% charge so I immediately shut down the phone and charged it up to 100%. Meanwhile I did a search for "Moto G Play 2023 User Manual" and downloaded the 62 page (very useful) "User Guide." Be sure to get this manual (is is a pdf file) and it is full of information. The old SDcard needed to be reformatted and this manual tells how to do this. The Moto G has an Andriod 12 operating system and has "VOLTE" which is a requirement in our area for using the local AT&T cell towers. VOLTE give you more range and greater clarity than the old communications protocol. After about 90 minutes of charging I was at 100% and I did the initial; startup procedure described in the downloaded manual. The phone connected to the AT&T tower with no problems. I made my first phone call and the sound level was more than adequate. I have a hearing disability so I expect most people would say that the phone is 'loud." I also downloaded a Kindle book ($2.99) that told me details about using Android 12. If you want the book do a search on the Amazon site for "Android 12 user manual". Most people will not get this manual but I am happy to have the extra information provided in this well-written book about the Android 12 OS. I bought the Moto play because I needed a phone and did not care about playing games, reading kindle books, or "living on the phone." The Moto G can do all of that but you would be better off to buy a much more advanced unit that costs several time as much as the Moto G. I much prefer using a separate (large) Kindle for reading, a dedicated gaming computer, and desktop computer with multiple screens for other activities. Overall, the Moto G does exactly what I wanted (a good phone) at a reasonable price. I also downloaded a few apps from the app store and they worked properly. I rate this phone as being better than expected and well worth the low price.

We got this for my son who's going into middle school. The specs aren't the greatest, but it's a $100 phone. I'm not expecting flag ship specs. My son loves it. It's a little big for his hands, but that's what pop sockets are for. It's got really good batter life. He's constantly watching YT videos, and the batter lasts him the entire day. It takes several minutes to reboot. That's very much so annoying. I thought the phone froze the first time I restarted it. I do like that it says 'Hello, Moto' when it finally turns on.

Good phone, all is good once you figure out what bogs it down. I know this phone doesn't have much ram and I wasn't wanting to pay a huge price for a phone with huge amounts of ram. Onboard storage I'm not crazy about, it is a bit short in that area, but even that can be controlled by using a SD card for all other storage and is fairly easy to change where any downloads or pictures go. This phone does bog down some but it's not so much a phone issue as it is a android issue, app ram hogs. I would highly recommend going to app settings and eliminating as much app permissions as possible and force stop apps you more likely won't use. It's what I did and once I did it, it made a huge difference. This is a Android 12 issue, not a phone problem. Today's apps love that memory, once you reduce the apps usage you spare more ram for loading apps you do use. Phone is nice, works great, finger print reader works really well and side buttons are easy. It doesn't have all the bells I'd like to have but it's also not expensive so I can deal with it for the price. One thing I don't like that it should have is a charging light, so to check it the screen must be on. I can't give it 5 stars as I just got it, but 4 should work as it's a Motorola, a brand that has a good reputation so at least it's worth 4 stars anyways, and hopefully I can keep it at 4 at minimum.

A budget phones serves all your needs for a second phone. Bit slow.

very good

Product performs per specification. But it was missing a user manual.

Slow, lags , not suitable for scrolling or games, battery life sucks

Was easy to set up for my daughter. Can't go wrong with a hundred dollar(the suggested retail price) phone that does everything the others do. It's a bit slow, but works lol. Very very slow. Feel over charged at 200$ not a good buy. Id return it but Im too late.
