  • Low Price: Ultra-affordable entry point.
  • Long Battery Life: 5000 mAh endures.
  • 90Hz Display: Decent for scrolling
  • Weak Performance: Helio G37 is sluggish.
  • Low RAM/Storage: 3GB/32GB limits use.
  • No 5G: Behind the curve in 2025
  • Android 13 update promised, likely the last.
  • Security patches until December 2025.
  • Minimal software support expected.

The Moto G Play (2023) is a bare-bones phone for light users. Its battery and display are highlights, but performance and storage disappoint. Fine for basic needs, but alternatives offer more for slightly higher cost
