Pros and Cons

Motorola Moto G Play (2023)

Strengths

For what it is, I definitely don't think it's a bad phone
The camera for what it is is really good
If you are looking for a really affordable kind of basic phone but you do want to take some nice pictures from time to time then for that this phone definitely will get the job done
It does have a really good battery with a 5,000 milliamp hour battery well it's not really uncommon per se
The camera is one of the best cameras in its price range
It has a decent amount of weight to it and it definitely doesn't feel like it's about to fall apart or anything
The buttons are pretty solid
The materials they do feel pretty nice

Weaknesses

There's really nothing special about it when it comes to things like the display
The performance is also a little disappointing although again for the more basic use it's meant for it's still going to be at least good enough
It's easily interchangeable with countless others
The storage is definitely a huge drawback albeit it's not really uncommon or anything either
It doesn't have NFC so a little disappointing there but honestly not very many phones on this price range do have NFC at this point going into 2023
For the more basic use it's meant for it's still going to be at least good enough
The display is pretty much exactly the same as every other phone in this price range
It doesn't have super thin bezels, and although it looks nice overall, it's not really different from a generic entry-level phone
