Editorial report

Motorola Moto G Play 4 GB / 64 GB / International technical sheet

The Motorola Moto G Play suits anyone looking for a phone for basic tasks who prioritizes battery capacity. Its main compromises are performance and camera specifications that are worse than those of most phones of its time. The 5,000 mAh battery has more capacity than most, while 10 W charging is slower than on most phones launched around the same time. Its overall NeoScore is 4.1, and it stands worse than most phones launched in the same period.

The 6.5-inch IPS LCD display has a 90 Hz refresh rate, typical for its time, but its 270 ppi density is lower than that of most phones of its time. The 13 MP camera resolution is also worse than most, and the f/2 aperture ranks worse than most. This configuration pairs the Qualcomm Snapdragon 460 with 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage; a 4 GB / 64 GB configuration is also sold, and storage is expandable. Connectivity includes Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.1, USB Type-C and a 3.5 mm audio jack. The phone runs Android 10. Overall, this is a basic-use option for someone who values battery capacity and accepts weaker performance, display density and camera specifications.
