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

Motorola Moto G Play (2023)

The Motorola Moto G Play (2023) is an unassuming entry-level smartphone that checks all the right boxes without excitingly exceeding them. With a solid battery life and decent camera capabilities, this phone gets the job done for those looking for a no-frills device. While its performance may not be particularly impressive, the Moto G Play's affordability, sleek design, and good build quality make it an attractive option for budget-conscious buyers. This review will delve into the details of what makes the Moto G Play (2023) tick, or rather, trudge along without any major surprises.

Ulefone Note 12P

The Ulefone Note 12P is another iteration of the company's Note series, boasting impressive specs for its price point. The device features a massive 7,700mAh battery, a 6.82-inch display with a relatively low resolution of 720p, and a Unisoc SC9863A processor that's likely to be power-hungry. Despite its impressive battery life, the Note 12P struggles to run certain games smoothly, particularly at higher settings. The device also falls short in terms of camera quality, with poor image and video recording capabilities, as well as mono sound. The microphone picks up sound poorly, and the phone's screen is a fingerprint magnet. One redeeming aspect of the Note 12P is its ability to run on the Google Play Store, which means users can access regular security updates and other apps without any issues. However, with Xiaomi's Redmi series offering similar specs at lower price points, the Note 12P may struggle to hold its value in the long term. Overall, the Ulefone Note 12P is a basic phone that excels at providing long battery life but falls short in terms of overall performance and features. While it may be a good option for those looking for a simple device with access to Google Play Store updates, buyers should expect some compromises on camera quality, display resolution, and sound capabilities. The Note 12P's biggest weakness is its reliance on an outdated processor that consumes too much power. This results in limited performance and battery life that's not as impressive as the manufacturer claims. Despite this, the phone remains a viable option for those seeking a basic device with decent specs at an affordable price point.
