For people that have negative things to say, you would think that they appreciated tech TH-camrs that take the time to inspect these phones; whether it’s an android, Apple, etc. so that the consumer can make a good decision on what phones to buy out there, especially when there are so many nowadays. I personally may not always agree with a person’s opinion but I do appreciate the feedback.👍🏻
I read a review online about this phone, and the person was complaining about only being able to charge it while it was turned off. Do you know if that is true?
I feel like USB-A to Type-C is the better cable to include if they won't include a charger with it, since people are much more likely to have a random whatever USB-A charging brick, or even a fast charge capable USB-A one, like an old Samsung charger than to have a USB-C charging brick. In this case including another charging brick might not even be necessary, the same way the amount of cardboard in this package isn't. This is also definitely a much better phone than the A05.
@@pixelgaming7261 Wow that's very useful.. yeah not really. What if you switch from a phone with micro usb? Back in the days with phones like the S8 they included a micro usb to usb-c adaptor and an OTG adaptor.
Thank you for reviewing this phone!! Love the honesty and that you reviewed such a cheap device. I am a nursing student and still have 6 months of school to go. I definitely can't afford to sign onto a new $1800+ device plan, so I just ordered this phone to get me through the next 6 months. Very glad to have found this video to know what to expect when it arrives to me. Thanks again!!
This guy is far from being honest in his reviews and the person that commented on your comment also has a fuzzy view of what's an honest review when he gives more expensive stuff the benefit of the doubt and his attempt to look through the eyes of of the average consumer is all skewed because he leans towards once again giving expensive stuff the benefit of the doubt.
hi, i can't afford an expensive phone and needed a review that was easy to understand and complete to help make my decision. this helped a lot and i really appreciate this review. so helpful to me
The A13 5G's display and selfie camera were pretty awful. Putting the A13 5G next to my A34 5G makes the A13 5G's display quality look 10 years old. It looked ok at first but after getting my new phone, I started to wonder how I put up with it. And after using the A34 5G, the A13 5G was borderline unusable, and it never felt like that before.
Oh wow, I didn't know Motorola changed so much over the years. I last used them in the Moto Mod era. They had some really great phones at the time. The Moto Z Play was just barely weaker than a flagship phone of the time and it was talked about for its good update frequency which was thought to be because of its near stock Android version. Though I guess maybe the "G" line of the Play is more budget than the Z Play? I wonder if the pho dual camera setup on this phone is a future cost saving measure to keep this series price down. In the future they can keep using this shell, but add in a second camera.
who in the world would call a nice guy like you mean names? Absurd!!! Anyways...great video Wade. Love the New Moto G play..Saw one in Best Buy, and tried it out.... Seems great.
Ok so the same phone model was recently launched in India named G04. It has latest Android 14, an IP52 rating, more vibrant color options, and comes with a charger and case included in the box, although the chip used is the decent Unisoc T606. Additionally, the price of the phone in India is lower when converted to US dollars approx 85$ and 10 bucks more for the 8/128
While missing the 5G that I've gotten used to with my google phone and others I've borrowed. I do like it's camera and being able to buy it outright without too much worry. With that I am coming from Much much older phone tech so this feels just right for me.
I'd like to see how well it runs under Lineage. Moto is not that great for upgrading Android past two years. But if you can run open source Android on it, then it wouldn't matter. To me it doesn't matter if the phone can be rooted because I don't put any sensitive information on my phone. I use it primarily to check bus and train schedules and make the occasional call. I think it is a bargain price -- one tenth the cost of an iPhone pro or a folding Sammy.
There's no denying this is still a budget phone with all of the caveats of one, but compared to last year's model, they really got their shit together. It's not even close. And when you consider it's still slated for three years of security updates, this is a phone I might actually recommend to someone who just wants the basics, and I haven't said that about Motorola in a long time.
The comments should be focussed on what is this phone design for? Who is this phone designed for? It’s an entry-level phone do not compare to an iPhone 1415 or whatever is very basic structure, power source camera, etc. but for someone first learning or an elderly person first learning this is a great phone.
These are incredible for my six-year-old they are literally available on prepaid services for $39 through Walmart listen these things are leaps and bounds better than what we had years ago lol and she loves it and if she breaks it oh well it’s $40 Way better than breaking a $700 outdated iPhone. Great video but these things are amazing for kids so that you can keep communication with them and not worry about them destroying expensive devices.
Im disabled and only use prepaid phone. UScellular is sending me one for a penny because my old phone drowned. Well I have used motorola in past and it was fair yes. I hope this will be able to at least depend on. I only gave a penny so not out much.. Its on ebay for $150..
I don't understand how this phone only has 15w charging, which is an upgrade from last year, when my 2020 Motorola Moto E 2020 had 18w charging? What happened?
Turbo charger cricket gave me I like the volume I can hear it woop connect tablet can't hear it sucks I use open camera How do I get the pop up telling me my actions to quit? Every action I do it pops up telling me what I did and it's in my productive way
Ppp I just bought this phone off Amazon for $149 with case $170 I really wanted a g-power however I think I dodged a bullet and got a little better phone cheap
Used to love motorola fones. They were mainly manufactured in the US and were cool little fones. But now they are owned by chinese manufacturer lenovo, hence made in china. And the difference in quality really does show. Not to mention the obvious risks involved with chinese tech companies having to comply when their government wishes to spy on users of their devices. I see it as a sad end to what was once a promising and innovative company. RIP Motorola USA.
I wish Motorola brought into $300 price range similar specs to Xiaomi Poco X6 - nice OLED screen, Snapdragon 7s gen 2 and fast 67 W charging plus retaining 3.5 mm headphone jack + 4 years of security updates. Poco x6 doesn’t offer good camera but it is a compromise.
How can this guy give an accurate assessment of anything when his spending is all over the place and he's not looking through the eyes of the average consumer. Before anybody complains about me marking an assessment it's going to be hard for anybody that buys expensive things like iPhones and Androids or so on and so on then try to look through the eyes of an average consumer it's going to be skewed/fuzzy because they're not going to like what's the average things that most people buy because it's not the expensive stuff they spend their money on. On a side note I had to turn this video off in less than 2 minutes of starting it because this guy is just right out of the gate factually incorrect.
I can't believe iPhone has 7.2 times faster CPU despite costing only x4. I can't believe it has morbidly better cameras, with literally 20+ times the sharpness when say zooming in over this phone, despite it costing only x4. Etc. I mean you cant randomly pick some spec and compare it to cost. iPhone has incomparably better display, and imo looks like a steal comparing to this, despite being more expensive.
The display on the Motorola is not even close to good. The screen dims as you tilt the phone away from your eyes. It having a big screen makes it worse because the corners dim and you never able to utilize the full light from the display.
@desertportal323 Whatever happened to a simple dial tone and a 10¢ call. These huge phones are like going to the drive-in theater with buttered popcorn. Lol
Incredible video. Don't mind the hateful comments. Putting up with the garbage companies serve and even going as far to attack critics is ridiculous. People need to understand that being complacent with this slop only causes stagnation. Criticism is what drives real change and improvement. Keep up the good work!
That’s what I’m saying! 👏 The comments don’t bother me at all. What truly makes me sad is seeing people spend their hard earned money on products that are objectively bad, and companies continuing to produce those bad products without a care in the world. Most of us here are very “tech literate” in that we know what these phones should do, and how they compare to others, etc. I just want the average person to be informed and understand what sorts of products are being sold to them and why they may not be worth it for them in the end.
Motorola outside of their flip phones don't sell phones to people who are tech enthusiast. Most of their phones are for people who want affordable phones from a brand that they trust and for people who don't care about top flight specs. I mean don't you think if Motorola wanted to make just a whole bunch of flagship phones they could? And if that the case why not just get the Motorola think phone If you do want flagship spec. Motorola think phone has Snapdragon 8+ gen 1, 8 or 12 of ram 144 HZ display Corning gorilla Glass victus 65 watt wire under the screen fingerprint scanner but it only cost 399 on Amazon and 399 on Motorola website. I have the Samsung s23 ultra and I have the regular Samsung s23 and I have the OnePlus 9 5G. I was thinking about getting the Motorola think phone but it doesn't have a MicroSD card slot and I don't want another top scpec phone that don't have an SD card slot. That's one of the reasons why I still keep around my Motorola one 5g ace and my Samsung A51 5G because both of those phones have SD slots
I agree.. I am done with Samsung.. Someone gave me for free the Galaxy A11 new and the Mic does not work but apparently the Echo issue is on the hardware.. Good thing it was free , I am buying this one today.
@@ericdiaz6568 ahh, sorry to hear that! Maybe previous owner was encouraged to give it away if they already knew about mic issues... Who knows. I always like the underdog phone because those usually offer much more for the money.
I don't understand how people justify spending $1k+ on a phone and $100+ per month on a phone plan... This looks like a good enough phone for me. Thanks for the great review!
For camera gaming fast internet yes. now you understand or do I have to tell you that why I bought the s23 cause I needed for better camera as in visual cinema quality video and gaming without lagging.
Finally motorola has added again snapdragon to their entry level devices, due to the shortage they had to use the painful and slow mediatek socs and phones prior to those were slower than other
Thanks for your honest reviews. I'm in the budget phones category and not tech savvy at all and appreciate an educated and honest review when I'm considering buying a new phone, without having to wade through what seem to be the plethora of 'sponsored' reviews that I find more confusing than anything else.
Hey I would love a Samsung A05s review (i liked your A05 but i hear the A05s is a bit better) and unboxing because I am looking into that phone and wanted to hear your perspective (btw great vid on Motorola :))
Motorola cell phones will always have better antenna reception than any other cell phone in the market of course except iPhones wich also have good reception.
i buy this for my mom she loves it she loves the battery it last her 2 days she has straint talk we payed $40 bucks for it she does use it for facebook and calls and text and email web she loves it
Most websites that are selling this phone are selling it as a mid-range smartphone so for this guy to say it's an entry-level Motorola phone is laughable because it's squarely a mid-range phone because it comes from Motorola's mid-range series.
The G Play from last year was worse than the Samsung Galaxy A21s, which came out for the same price 3 years before with an even better performance. The new one looks much better.
Bro just did his job. Don't mind them. Helio G36 is totally trash. Even if you ask MKBHD, he'll definitely say that the G Play 2023 is really slow even at the basic apps like messaging, or taking photos. So you see, the phone could not even do the basics without hiccups, and that's why I skipped buying that phone. Also, the 2024 version got drastic improvements. Thanks to these guys who criticized the 2023's performance
I got the Moto G Play 2024. Price tag was 49$ for the Device itself at Dollar General under Simple Mobile. I bought a 40$ unlimited talk and text data plan with my purchase it was easy to set up and activate on Simple Mobile website. In general it costed around 95$ that's phone and plan. I'm honestly surprised how well the phone performs and it's not laggy like other budget phones. I have this as my secondary device for work. I would recommend it if you are looking for something affordable but not expensive and easy to replace.
I read a review online about this phone, and the person was complaining about only being able to charge it while it was turned off. Do you know if that is true?
9:51 I really don't agree with this, the USB-A to USB-C cable can be used with way more chargers than the USB-C to USB-C cable, therefore making it more universal (which is the whole point of USB) and objectively better. As far as I know, only Samsung chargers use the USB-C to USB-C cable.
I absolutely love this phone for $90 from Walmart with a 50 MP camera (iPhone 14 quality) and 120 fps with SO many features and you don't even have to pay for TH-cam music the phone's pin feature completely by passes paying any subscription you can even lock your screen or play music while gaming
Did Moto go back to letting you use the SD card as extra internal memory instead of what happened with the 2023 model where it was just a separate memory option?
Hey, thanks for the video and I guess my biggest criticism is the screen you gotta have a screen that’s decent enough to look at if it’s pixelated what’s the point
Its 40$ right now at walmart just got it. I can olay cod mobil on high settings and watch youtube at the same time. Absolutely mind boggling what i can do with this phone
Motorola android was brought out by Verizon and right after that Verizon sent out a malicious update that disabled the carrier service and wifi calling toggle switch was disabled making it impossible to turn it on, there should be a law to prevent this illegal practice, my phone is only a year old n now its useless
🤩🤩I am looking now after 6m and it is 50$... but I am not buying anything just looking what the prices are these days... next will be something for around 50$ for sure no point to spend more :)
My phone came up with a charger so I don't know what you're talking about. And at least one or two other people that got this phone like me said they got a charger with their phone so I don't know where you're getting your information from. So before you start posting crap like what's your posting do some research.
Before I had the moto g fast. It was the best phone ever. I wish I could have got a new one. With that being said. I have the moto g play 2024. And every since my signal has been shit. It freezes up all the time. So I'm not Happy with the phone. And I have had it since the first of the year.
This will be my first smart phone try not to for years but the flip phones now are shitty and worst than my first flip phone many years ago. They forced it on me and I had. I already hate it LOL I need a kid to help me
Just paid $39.99 for one at Wally world. Mine took maybe 10 minutes to set up. This phone is for someone like me. I couid care less about impressing people with a phone. I need to make calls and text, and occasionally watch youtube. It does those things just as well as any flagship phone. Beyond that, it's probably trash. Idk but i don't care. I don't game, i dont really listen to music or anything else. So there's no reason to spend anymore then necessary. That's my 2 cents, not that anyone asked for it.
I just got my Moto G Play 2024 delivered and haven't "set" it up yet. I use the phone with Consumer Cellular so I think I need to have them transfer everything from my Moto G Play 2021 phone. My question is, when I called Consumer Cellular, they immediately recognized my phone number and asked if I was ready to activate my SIM card, but I backed out because I didn't know if all of my contacts, photos, etc. would be transferred over to my new phone. It appears this new phone doesn't need a new SIM card, so I'm confused.... do you think everything will automatically be transferred to my new phone, or do I have to go into a Target store and have a Consumer Cellular rep do the setup?
just copy all your contacts from the old phone on to the SIM card. Then when you put the SIM into the new phone, all the contact info will stil be there. Some new phones do not need a SIM card because they have both eSIM and SIM. Alternatively, you can synch with your Google account and sign into the new phone with this account.
Shoutout to all my haters at 00:19 - love ya ✌😅

I got this phone a week ago and it works great. It's everything I need a phone to be.
Definitely worth the money

My Nord N10 came with a type A to C and I’m glad it does. Use it for everything even after getting a new phone
Agreed .I bought it lately .it blew me away for the price point.
The reason why Samsung chucks in a C-to-C cable is so you can use it to transfer data from your old phone.
@@pixelgaming7261 Wow that's very useful.. yeah not really. What if you switch from a phone with micro usb? Back in the days with phones like the S8 they included a micro usb to usb-c adaptor and an OTG adaptor.

You did a wonderful vedio of the moto g play 24 man thanks im going to buy this phone my a54 5g galaxy is not user friendly, at $450.00
Glad you enjoyed! Hope you like your new phone!
My brother let me use his iphone $1500 phone till my moto g comes.. I hate iphone! I much rather have my android..
That looks WAAAAY better, newer, sleeker and more expensive than both iPhone 15 and Galaxy S24.
R u kidding??
@@lenacheney no, not really!
I agree.. I am done with Samsung.. Someone gave me for free the Galaxy A11 new and the Mic does not work but apparently the Echo issue is on the hardware.. Good thing it was free , I am buying this one today.
@@ericdiaz6568 ahh, sorry to hear that! Maybe previous owner was encouraged to give it away if they already knew about mic issues... Who knows. I always like the underdog phone because those usually offer much more for the money.
...... your gonna compare to 1000 dollar camera to 100 camera.....
You mean this phone can beat the DSLR Canon T7i?
oh man wow your a
Favorite Budget Phone Ever - Wrote From Gplay
I bought mine for 89.99 from Cricket
49.99 simple mobile
is it smooth on games?
@@twinnnnn600 Yes, and I got mine through Walmart for $39. It's locked Straight Talk.
I don't understand how people justify spending $1k+ on a phone and $100+ per month on a phone plan... This looks like a good enough phone for me. Thanks for the great review!
Are u satisfied?
For camera gaming fast internet yes.
now you understand or do I have to tell you that why I bought the s23 cause I needed for better camera as in visual cinema quality video and gaming without lagging.
Finally! There's a review for that phone!
I was very worried buying this phone, but I’m glad it’s better 😅 I was a little happier making this video than I thought I’d be
Wow, they don't sell any Plays in my country.
I just got one in sage green.
Very useful information. I love watching your videos cause it educateds me about all these different phones and inspires me to get into phones 📱✨
I just bought mine for 50.00 at walmart! It's prepaid. I get it Sunday. It sounds like I made a great deal! Thanks for the good review!
unlocked??

Finally motorola has added again snapdragon to their entry level devices, due to the shortage they had to use the painful and slow mediatek socs and phones prior to those were slower than other
Snapdragon makes everything better 😅
Thanks for your honest reviews. I'm in the budget phones category and not tech savvy at all and appreciate an educated and honest review when I'm considering buying a new phone, without having to wade through what seem to be the plethora of 'sponsored' reviews that I find more confusing than anything else.
Hey I would love a Samsung A05s review (i liked your A05 but i hear the A05s is a bit better) and unboxing because I am looking into that phone and wanted to hear your perspective (btw great vid on Motorola :))
A better compassion is the new Samsung International A15 4G. It is ok only a few dollars more and has way better specs.
Motorola cell phones will always have better antenna reception than any other cell phone in the market of course except iPhones wich also have good reception.
Finally motorola stopped usnig trash processors like the g37.
i buy this for my mom she loves it she loves the battery it last her 2 days she has straint talk we payed $40 bucks for it she does use it for facebook and calls and text and email web she loves it
The 2023 was a terrible phone. Some people like that but I thought the phone was trash
Can you really complain about a $149 phone. There aint no F150 raptor in the bottom of a crackerjack box.
As long as I can play cod mobile is all I care about lol
Most websites that are selling this phone are selling it as a mid-range smartphone so for this guy to say it's an entry-level Motorola phone is laughable because it's squarely a mid-range phone because it comes from Motorola's mid-range series.
Same phone selling in india with a name moto G04 in less than 100$
The G Play from last year was worse than the Samsung Galaxy A21s, which came out for the same price 3 years before with an even better performance. The new one looks much better.
Bro just did his job. Don't mind them. Helio G36 is totally trash. Even if you ask MKBHD, he'll definitely say that the G Play 2023 is really slow even at the basic apps like messaging, or taking photos. So you see, the phone could not even do the basics without hiccups, and that's why I skipped buying that phone.
Also, the 2024 version got drastic improvements. Thanks to these guys who criticized the 2023's performance
at that resolution id have liked the phone to be way smaller
I'd prefer a smaller phone
I got the Moto G Play 2024. Price tag was 49$ for the Device itself at Dollar General under Simple Mobile. I bought a 40$ unlimited talk and text data plan with my purchase it was easy to set up and activate on Simple Mobile website. In general it costed around 95$ that's phone and plan. I'm honestly surprised how well the phone performs and it's not laggy like other budget phones. I have this as my secondary device for work. I would recommend it if you are looking for something affordable but not expensive and easy to replace.
My last and only Moto Android phone was the Atrix 4G back in the day.
What did you think of it back then?
I had that phone in 2011
The new motorola moto g play 2024 is decent but good speakers and nice design and how much gb in motorola moto g play 2024 has
64gb
Is the battery removable?
NEVER..
Come on… it’s 2024! You know it’s not.
I hate the finger print sensor on the side. It's driving me nut it's on every phone these days.
Anyone having issues with charging it?
I asked the same question and still no answer.
@@NicholasX.So the phone is a fast charging phone. The brick has to be a fast charger. Sucks they didn't add it into the box.
I read a review online about this phone, and the person was complaining about only being able to charge it while it was turned off. Do you know if that is true?
Let's all go to the Drive-in theater and watch a movie with some warm blankets. 50¢.
9:51 I really don't agree with this, the USB-A to USB-C cable can be used with way more chargers than the USB-C to USB-C cable, therefore making it more universal (which is the whole point of USB) and objectively better. As far as I know, only Samsung chargers use the USB-C to USB-C cable.
I absolutely love this phone for $90 from Walmart with a 50 MP camera (iPhone 14 quality) and 120 fps with SO many features and you don't even have to pay for TH-cam music the phone's pin feature completely by passes paying any subscription you can even lock your screen or play music while gaming
What about NFC?
No NFC in this model
Did Moto go back to letting you use the SD card as extra internal memory instead of what happened with the 2023 model where it was just a separate memory option?
Hey, thanks for the video and I guess my biggest criticism is the screen you gotta have a screen that’s decent enough to look at if it’s pixelated what’s the point
Not all motorola phone are the best but one of them are good but which one is recommended from motorola moto g series
Its 40$ right now at walmart just got it. I can olay cod mobil on high settings and watch youtube at the same time. Absolutely mind boggling what i can do with this phone
Motorola android was brought out by Verizon and right after that Verizon sent out a malicious update that disabled the carrier service and wifi calling toggle switch was disabled making it impossible to turn it on, there should be a law to prevent this illegal practice, my phone is only a year old n now its useless
🤩🤩I am looking now after 6m and it is 50$... but I am not buying anything just looking what the prices are these days... next will be something for around 50$ for sure no point to spend more :)
Im not surprised that even motorola's entry level phone doesnt even include a charger
My phone came up with a charger so I don't know what you're talking about. And at least one or two other people that got this phone like me said they got a charger with their phone so I don't know where you're getting your information from. So before you start posting crap like what's your posting do some research.
Before I had the moto g fast. It was the best phone ever. I wish I could have got a new one. With that being said. I have the moto g play 2024. And every since my signal has been shit. It freezes up all the time. So I'm not Happy with the phone. And I have had it since the first of the year.
This will be my first smart phone try not to for years but the flip phones now are shitty and worst than my first flip phone many years ago. They forced it on me and I had. I already hate it LOL I need a kid to help me
My mom just ordered mine today I'm so excited
Is this better than the moto power ?
Not shabby 4 price point
Just paid $39.99 for one at Wally world. Mine took maybe 10 minutes to set up. This phone is for someone like me. I couid care less about impressing people with a phone. I need to make calls and text, and occasionally watch youtube. It does those things just as well as any flagship phone. Beyond that, it's probably trash. Idk but i don't care. I don't game, i dont really listen to music or anything else. So there's no reason to spend anymore then necessary. That's my 2 cents, not that anyone asked for it.
Can you compare this to the Moto G14?
You didnt talk about ram how much ram it is
I just got my Moto G Play 2024 delivered and haven't "set" it up yet. I use the phone with Consumer Cellular so I think I need to have them transfer everything from my Moto G Play 2021 phone. My question is, when I called Consumer Cellular, they immediately recognized my phone number and asked if I was ready to activate my SIM card, but I backed out because I didn't know if all of my contacts, photos, etc. would be transferred over to my new phone. It appears this new phone doesn't need a new SIM card, so I'm confused.... do you think everything will automatically be transferred to my new phone, or do I have to go into a Target store and have a Consumer Cellular rep do the setup?
just copy all your contacts from the old phone on to the SIM card. Then when you put the SIM into the new phone, all the contact info will stil be there. Some new phones do not need a SIM card because they have both eSIM and SIM. Alternatively, you can synch with your Google account and sign into the new phone with this account.
$50 from Tracfone.
Motorola atrixa 4g was my first phone.
That’s a phone I don’t think I’m familiar with!
@@TechDaily it was realsed in 2011
