Motorola Moto G4 Play - User Reviews

  • we are brought another country. then now India sim is not working in my mobile what is the problem.

  • Other than that the GPS is a little trash and lacks compass no complains about this phone.

  • I bought this phone on February 2017. I dropped it into water. Many times I thrown it just like old nokia phone. But no problem till now. Working smoothly. Nice mobile.

  • It is a bit old now and I will try to sell it. But it never let me down. Works great. If you aren't gamer or heavy user this phone is enough for you as it works with stock android with no bloatware.

  • I am really happy with this phone. I bought it on 25th march 2017 and i am still using this phone on 27 september 2019. I used this phone alot like minimum 3 hrs per day. Even i play PUBG In this mobile for continuous 2:30hrs in this 2gb ram phone and dont get heated. Still it works pretty well as i heard many memes for 2gb ram mobiles when playing pubg. But this phone is best even in 2gb ram . Now with the superb technologies (like i bought it for ₹9000 , and now i can buy in this price range a 3gb ram phone redmi 7S with too many features) , my mobile has become very old because very less features (not physically old) but still it really work well. No scratch , no battery problem. If i removed back cover now , it will still look like new phone. Superb phone . ❤️

  • I have had mine for three years and it has been absolutely great!! Few people use their phone so much as I do for absolutely everything, I even write A LOT on it. I can just be honest, it has never let me down. Now it's getting a bit old, but nothing that makes it hard to use. I paid ridiculously little for it when it was new and it will be another Motorola the day I need a new one. Now I have changed battery in this one. It is so easy to buy capacity you don't use for lots of money, but I bet few would find this phone incapable to do what they ask of it. Well... of course, my first GSM-Motorola cd160 was great too... They have been good, only to accept it. I still have a Triband in working condition...

  • Not excellent as it is somewhat old now. But mine works good enough too. Try to find touch pad in AliExpress or Amazon.

  • The phone is good and I like it, is just that my own touchpad is broken so I need to replace it so I don't know where to get the touchpad so I need to ask if is there anyway I can get it so that I fix it and enjoy my phone again thank you

  • 7.1 is ok been using it for one year no problem

  • Can you explain how you updated it to Pie?

  • Never happened on mine.

  • This phone stinks! The power buttons fall out all the time 😒

  • I've bought mine for 200 dollars and it's price is the same even after three years. Great phone for everyday use. Performance is good. Battery life is great. Camera is average. It is made of plastic but strong one. Very durable. I was about to sell it and buy new phone but decided to keep for now and just ordered new case. Overall if you aren't heavy gamer and play just some lightweight games it is great phone for you.

  • Been using pie in custom ROM and its excellent!

  • Highly underrated mobile is Moto G4 play. Moto should have updated it to at least Oreo. I didn't use this one for long time, but it was a great experience. However, one can still update this one to latest iteration by installing custom rom. I have updated my Moto G3 and G3Turbo with pixel experience rom. It may go on for at least a year or so. Pie version for same is available for G4 play.

  • I have using my g4 play 7.1 for like 6 month everything works perfect

  • Best ! very Awesome battery performance after Recent update.

  • Guys, who u have updated G4 Play to official 7.1.1 Nougat, can u inform me about the camera performance & battery backup on nougat? Is the camera & battery performance remain similar to Marshmallow or decreased? And are you facing any other issue after updating to official Nougat?

  • I love this mobile, 'cause all is OK.

  • Not only that the GPS is bad, also it doesn't have compass so if you are kinda lost and need to walk not very useful. Everything else fine.

  • after using for 18 months i sold it for rs2500 because of gps issue(now i'm a frequent traveller).or else no issue at all, the charging and draining of battery gets 6 out of 5 , purely impressive...

  • Do you get an error message?

  • Good phone.No problem.Phone Charger is mind blowing,within 30 min phone battery will reach 100 percent.

  • I can relate about the GPS, in outdoor environments with no cell range is unusable, I've seen it offering precision of less than 2.5km in a mountain top with (obviously) clear view of the sky. Nonetheless in urban environments using network location mechanisms it is capable of adequate location.

  • My Moto G4 play can't install security update...i have tried many times.

  • True. Pretty good phone. I've not used GPS at all. Everything else is very good. Mine is running android 7.1.1.

  • GPS issues are most likely hardware-related, or unlikely low-level firmware-related, and there has been very little success at getting it to work.

  • The Moto G4 Play is an absolutely solid phone for $100. I own the XT1607, and it works great as my daily driver. However, on the XT1607 and a few other variants, THE GPS DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. This is 100% due to crappy hardware, or extremely low-level firmware. There has been very little luck on getting the GPS to work. If you buy this phone, make sure you keep your receipt, because it may have a bad GPS. Also, I'd recommend getting the phone unlocked, because only some variants have Android 7.1. Mine never got it, so I was stuck on 6 until I flashed Lineage. TL;DR This is a very solid phone for it's price. The GPS doesn't work at all on some variants, so keep your receipt. Some variants also never got Android 7.1, so make sure you get an unlocked phone if you're not cool with Marshmallow.

  • Nice phone for the price. Actually on Android 7.1.1. Pros: decent casual camera for daylight, battery life, time of charge without quick charge, price, removable battery, nice screen IPS (wide angle, colours), clean Android. Cons: low brightness screen under the sun, speaker low volume and low bass. Low volume jack 3.5mm, SD410 clockdown to 1.2 and not 1.4 like moto g3 and a bit bug that is a flick in the screen 2-3 per day.

  • There is a reason to it. Indians think that company should have service center available. Due to its wide range of products, Samsung is able to maintain its service centres for phones. Due to this Indian people feel that it is a good point to buy Samsung. This one factor is making huge impact on market share. Now with Xiaomi opening up its stores and service centres across the country, coupled with affordable prices, Xiaomi is fast getting popular with Indian market.

  • Then why is Samsung still a "top brand"

  • In india, we got nougat 7.1.1 in January...still we feel it was quite late.....n now moto is simply out of the market where it was top a top brand 3 -4 years back. Slow updates won't be tolerated in india at all.

  • Yeah its a nice phone.. I used it for 1 year and 2 months now my little bro using as his primary phone.. Its simply rocking

  • Yes. Mine works good too.

  • I have this phone about 1 year ago, it works so good

  • DISSAPOINTED! My motorola XT1602 always show error "NO GPS" while using waze or google maps. I've tried aps like GPS Test, GPS Status, GPS Data to improve GPS but no luck. This is not recommended for GPS related aps.

  • I love Motorola phones

  • You have to be patient

  • It's a very, very, veeeeeery slooooow rollout. It's been going on for a year now and will continue until August. Also, if your phone is carrier branded the update will depend on your mobile operator

  • My moto g4 play xt1607 not update to nougat what is the reason

  • mine just fall and failed to touch

  • Actually, it's been rolling out for weeks. But it's a slow process. The rollout should end by August.

  • Just had the nougat update and it make a great improvement. This phone is great. Lenovo, why you Do not have a phone like this one every year.

  • Nougat update available from today in Latin America.

  • Factory reset may help.

  • I just got the update of 7.1.1 and my phone lost the network and I keep getting this message; "error while searching for networks" any solutions please ? And how can I flash my phone to get back 6.0.1 so I can get network works back ? I've tried all the solutions to make network work but it didn't :-(

  • Check your network settings and try searching for networks again.

  • I just got the update of 7.1.1 and my phone lost the network and I keep getting this message; "error while searching for networks" any solutions please ?

  • Just got new update with April security patch and stability improvements. Thanks Motorola. Great phone till now.

  • Is your device carrier branded? Mine is unlocked and I got Nougat 7.1.1 just a week ago. Yes, it's been a while since it was announced, and I got the update one year later.

  • My XT1607 offered me 7.1.1 this morning. Out of the blue. Almost fell off my stool. I'm on T-mobile in US.

  • Don't lose hope. I've had mine for one month. I bought it because the promised update to Nougat, which is a pretty decent version to me. Yes, I know Android Oreo is the latest and Android P is just around the corner, but I was on a very tight budget. The thing is, I turned the phone on, and then a series of updates started coming... but no Nougat. I thought Motorola had failed me. One month without any new update. Until today. Just a couple of hours ago I receive the promised Android 7.1.1 update along with the April Security Patch. So don't lose hope. Wait a bit more. Getting the update so long after the rest is just ridiculous but it's happening. Talk about a slooooow update rollout...

  • explain how it can get nougat. i have had this phone since 2016, and it received the 6.0.1 update (several months ago). there is no nougat update, it just says 'your software is up to date'.

  • It got Nougat.

  • Nope, it officially ends on 7.1.1

  • Oreo update in moto g4 play ? Pls replay

  • Please visit us nearest service centre and they will update ur device to nougat 7.1.1. I did the same thing with latest security patch of March 2018..Also once your phone is updated to nougat please do a hard reset and then u can use it

  • Hitting issue

  • Moto G4 play can't recognize your sim because when it was 6.1.1 they had 3 options 2g 3g & 4g but after the update they only have one option that stands for LTE/CDMA if ur sim is not 4g it will not work i will get my 4g sim tommorow & i hope it'll work :)

  • How to do? Please tell me

  • I updated to Android 7.1.1 successfully.

  • It was updated to 7.1.1

  • Only G4 Plus will get Nougat.

  • Phone is so good but why not nougat update come at 1602

  • This phone is pretty good for its price, after flashing LineageOS 14.1 it's working even better than on stock ROM. The camera is just OK, nothing special.

  • Camera is about the same. Nougat is working better and battery life is better. No issues at all. It is smooth. Try it now.

  • Try to reset play store/clear app data. If it won't help factory reset will help.

  • My Motorola g4 could not open Sim card

  • This phone works perfectly for the price that i've paid for (about 175$ USD) and for what i am doing with it. If you are a photo maniac it is not the camera that you are looking for, but for the rest this is probably one of the best budget phone on the market even today for the price you will pay it. And By the way, USB OTG is taken in charge, I have been able to use 2 different version of FLIR ONE (Micro USB and FLIR ONE PRO with USB-C to Micro USB adapter) with it and the OTG is needed to detect the thermal camera. Turns out that the app works perfectly on Android 6.0. P.S: I have not seen any update for 7.1.1 by th way, does it worth trying to force it?

  • I am facing the Google paly store ads and more ads on display many ways am trying to stop ads but doesn't stop the Google ads and more ads how to stop this type of ads plz tell me the process

  • I am facing a big issue with the front cam of my phone, it is focusing only the face of the person close to the cam, rest all showing blur.Mine is updated to android nougat.

  • So long comment. Lol. Mine works fine with android 7.1.1... Try factory reset.

  • I really enjoyed my XT1607 for around the first year of owning it, than Moto released patches etc for security etc, then they took forever to release Nougat 7.1.1 OTA...Battery life is now draining crazy fast (used to only need to charge the phone on sunday of every week with ~20% battery remaining) this is with normal for me usage, little internet, some texting and talking and many hours of music play...NOW am LUCKY to get 4 to 5 days TOPS and that is with basically everything turned off to conserve battery life whereas before these updates/upgrades that they cloak as "security measures" royally screw with how quickly it boots up or shuts down (WAY SLOWER) they do NOT properly test simple things such as "battery life" one has to optimize, clear cache partition etc etc, something it should take care of itself when it updates the OS...and of course, they do NOT offer the option to revert the OS "upgrade" which is more of a major downgrade "but pretty" they want you to send it back to THEM to put back the stock version of the OS if you cannot seem to solve the problems. They dont care will cost who knows how much, and take possibly 2-3 weeks before you get it back..they also have the gall to say "we take pride in making sure our products and updates are thoroughly tested" yeh right. with the "stock" marshmallow, it worked awesome, one could get all kinds of volume booster apps (it does not go very loud brand new without one) the music players, the GUI etc worked awesome, but silly me checking for "updates" to make sure phone was "secure" because I do some mobile banking, of course, you put the update on, it screws you over, Moto/Lenovo know this, Android knows this, basically every "dumbphone" maker knows this (they seem to do it on purpose to force upgrade to newer more expensive model) Anyways...if it were the price it should have been (~$190 CAD tax and shipped) would have been amazing price for what it was, instead, was $287 May 2016 with the purchase of an overpriced sim card (costs them about $2, they charge $20 for "activation" which is all of a click of a button) they did not provide backup batteries for easy to purchase of the OEM ones, but claim on their marketing "easy to find so you can have a spare battery for those extra long word days" All marketing BS. anyways, the phone is "ok" even though its "specs" are using many year old chips etc charge ~1/3-1/2 the price of a much more "premium" model..it is not "bad" per say, but their commitment on the testing of updates and "customer service" that actually helps instead of spitting out the same old crud "did you try this, did you do that" even when you sent them a really long email explaining EVERYTHING they then tell you to try.. "sorry for the issues you are having, we take pride in our commitment to quality service" yes, and pigs fly by the wings they are born with >:( Avoid Android Nougat 7.1.1 like the plague, and of course Moto only "gives" 2 OS upgrades, both of which have been flawed which they should have known via their 1-1.5 years of internal testing before they released as an OTA "update" I am sorry to "bash" the same brand, but they seriously need give their heads a shake, as does droid in the first place, seeing as it is THEIR OS. as far as the whole "clear the partition" crud they try to insist that you need to do (which you honestly should not have to with a proper designed OS) I did exactly step by step 10-15x it never bloody worked. seems at the very least the nougat update is very hit and miss, no matter the brand nor the cost of the phone in question.

  • I have had problems with the gps on the moto g4 play. I have had the phone for just over a year. At first gps worked very well. Then about 4 months into usage the gps started to degrade. Operation got progressively worse until a few weeks ago it became completely useless. At this point i got desperate. After reading about the experiences of others, it seemed that the problem may be a loose connection, i decided to open the unit and have a look inside. There is a video on you tube which shows how to take it apart. I didn't see any loose connectors, however because of the gradual deterioration of the signal as seen when using the app "GPS test", I suspected that there may be some corrosion/oxidation of/on what I suspected was an antenna cable connector. This is a small wire that runs on the right hand side (phone face down) from the top to the bottom near the power connector. I simply lifted the connector and then pressed it back on. Did this at both ends. I reassembled the phone and the gps is now working again. It has been two days and the gps is still working.

  • After update, my G4 play recognizes the SIM card, in fact it shows the 4G and send/receives txt messages, but in matter of calls is dead, no incoming or outgoing calls. What should I do?

  • Mine is XT1602 version with dual sim. Updated to nougat. Everything works fine. No issues. Performance improved. Battery life seems a bit better. Update to nougat don't worry. Don't forget to wipe cache partition after update.

  • I also own the same XT-1607 & wanna update to Nougat. But some Idian XT-1602 users are complaining about battery life and some are saying sim card can't be recognized after updating to nougat. I wanna know are you facing any issues after updating to Nougat? Please reply.

  • Really cool setup. I on the other hand just have 16gb card installed, making a sum total of 32. But i run custom os and kernel.

  • Really good review. I'm using mine 10 months. Great phone. Battery life is super. Performance is very good. Build quality is quite durable. Inserted 64GB SD card and now it has 80GB. Wow. And most important is stock android which is very smooth.

  • Guys if u wanna use android v8.0 Oreo on Moto G4 Play. Check out this:

  • Check on YouTube how to unlock your phone or visit your nearest mobile software shop.

  • It's been 10 months I am using this phone. It is a good phone with nice camera and good sound quality. I recently updated to Nougat and it's battery backup increased even more. Pros of this phone are : Great sound quality Very nice back camera and decent front camera Wireless FM radio Stock Android experience Amazing battery backup Now comes the cons Limited range of wireless FM radio No finger print scanner From camera focuses only the person not the nearby things Phone is little bulky

  • I just purchased this as a extra phone to run Pokémon Go only. I had read it ran this app OK until I ordered now starting to see poor reviews.Just wondering if anyone knows how this app runs I would appreciate it. I don't care about the gyroscope for AR as I don't use it. Any advice appreciated!

  • Updated to Nougat 7.1.1... Performance is smooth. Battery life is even better. Multi window is available too.

  • I updated my Moto G4 Play today but it is not supporting my sim card now what to do?

  • Facing same problem and have noticed that battery consumption have increased. Another thing is that it's lagging alot.

  • Mr hammad same situation with me

  • Mobile updated to Nougat yesterday but it is not supporting my SIM since the update has happened. What to do?

  • Updated to 7.1.1 on XT 1602 a week ago. No problems. Battery life seems even better than on Marsmallow. Update included Android security patch November 1 2017. Just a few days later received and updated Android security patch January 1 2018 which is supposed to fix KRACK (WiFi) vulnerability. G4 Play is the best buy I've ever done.

  • Others are complaining about worse battery life. Just don't panic. Things you should do are - backup your personal data including contacts images music and more - update to nougat - after updating turn off you phone - go to recovery menu - wipe cache partition - factory reset - after reset just configure your settings and update/download your apps. Enjoy.

  • Thanks to Motorola. Just upgraded to Nougat now. Hope there wunt be any issues? I just connected to wi fi and clicked update and followed the instructions and that's that. Please any other thing i should know? Thanks

  • I have opened a new Moto g4 play yesterday but it's not sending messages from its application plz give me solution urgently

  • Good phone for the cheap price but has few issues.

  • nice phone for the price, but mine just died after 9 months

  • Buy Sony phone. You won't regret. Or HTC.

  • No nougat update. At least for now.

  • Hi! Did someone receive and official Android Nougat 7.0 or 7.1 OTA (over the air) update on this phone? I bought the Moto G4 middle model that it was already upgraded but nothing for this one...! They will lost a good client (Lenovo) for sure in the future! I'm living in Canada.

  • This is amazing. I have been using this for more than 1 year. Go for it.

  • I have had this phone for a year now, and I am planning to upgrade. This is a good phone but lacks many features, such as a fingerprint scanner, a front facing flashlight,a gyroscope and a non plastic design. I know this is a budget phone but there are many other phones, as the same price, but have these extra features

  • Using it almost one year. Great phone. Go for it.

  • Using this mobile from past three months with lineage OS 14.1 installed. Performance, Volte, Camera, Call Functionality, Sound all working fine without any bug. Battery performance also improved as compare to stock rom. Value for money product.

  • Very good phone very powerful got it brand new for €80 very happy

  • Thanks mate, went to service center, it was actually the charging cable that causes the problem. Changed the cable it is charging normally now. September patch is perfectly all right. Now waiting for the Nougat!

  • Yes great phone. Mine is working good too.

  • It is awesome phone in all mannors else I have tried many one but mine all heart rating goes to moto g4 play.

  • Mine is in September security patch too. No problems at all. Everything is fine. It is charging normally. Wipe cache partition may help you. Go to recovery mode and do it now. Make sure you won't wipe data and factory reset otherwise you will lose all you data.

  • I think there is a bug in September security patch. after update my phone is not getting charged when it is on, it is showing charging, but not a single percent increase after hour of charging . however it is charging properly when turned off. this is happening after the update. let me know if you guys facing similar problem

  • Very true. Superb phone.

  • For what you want noughat update...small difference in user interface is only be changed.....Marshmallow is enough for this pretty G play...

  • But quality matters...rear camera,display,battery,performance are awesome..... 7K is not a huge price.

  • Updated mine today. it is September security patch. Everything else is same.

  • It's just security update mate nothing much

  • Yes it's September security updates...

  • I just got a notification about update today... Has anyone updated his or her own cos I want to know if there bug or something...

  • price r very high compare to others

  • does anyone got September security patch in India..?

  • This phone is great. Go for it. If you are confused or have any questions about this phone ask me.

  • Wifi connection problem

  • No nougat update. Everything else is great.

  • Used this phone for a year. Pros Really amazing battery life, it's really efficient. Great screen. Resistant to water drops. Camera is average but very decent camera. Everything else is approved by me, for a normal user, really smooth never freezes for me. Cons GPS is pretty bad and on top of it it has no compass. No Nougat update yet, they not even gave a ETA. And other OTA Updates(security and misc) comes always late.. They promised smooth updates for all the G4's but it wasn't the case, except in Plus I think. Reason I'm changing this phone, I just bought it because it was going to get Nougat but we're almost in 2018 and not even a ETA yet. Can use custom roms for Nougat though, but stock has by far best battery life IMO.

  • GPS in G4 PLAy is crap. Senior who works and needs to use public transportation so have a GPS when attempting to find the work sites for those days is critical. Can rides 2-3 BUSES/TRAINS/TROLLEYS AND AN HOUR LATER and 10+ miles from the last job have a Grey Dot. With enemies like companies like Motorola and the software "TURKEYS' who writ e the crap who needs enemies

  • Quality is superb. Batter life is amazing. There are single sim and dual sim variants.

  • i want to purchase this phone , i want to know about cell having good quality and their battery life, it is 2 sim or not.

  • I've bought it four months ago. Everything works fine till now. Performance is smooth. No lag. Screen quality is great. Battery life is excellent. If you aren't gamer it will survive two or three days. Camera quality is good enough. Overall very good phone with no bloatware.

  • I m interested to purchase this phone any body tell me how the performance of phone display quality especially the camera quality in dark places even artificial light both front and back camera?

  • I am very happy with the phone, except the nougat update as of now is a lie

  • I've bought it. It is superb phone. Everything works fine.

  • I have this phone for over a year and still waiting for nougat update. Microphone is pathetic.The other person can't hear me clearly. I do not recommend anyone to buy this phone.

  • True. They don't want to update it.

  • WRONG. Lineage OS is already out with Ver. 14.1 (based on Android 7.1.1) for Moto G Play. So, Snapdragon 410 in not the issue. They just don't want to spend the resources on a budget phone.

  • Give the N update first

  • When nougat will come in my phone moto g play

  • Will moto g4 play will get android N update

  • better then Samsung j2 or j5

  • Using this as my backup until my Note 8 arrives. Good little phone.

  • The phone is perfect for the money (€133) I bought it.

  • No i don't think so, but even device only doesn't help me with a gps lock :(

  • Yes, every time I turn on Location (even from the swipe down Quick Settings) I have to go in through Settings, Location, and switch from High Accuracy to Device Only, as H-A is the default when toggling on Location. Otherwise I can't get a GPS lock. Is there a way to default to Device Only but still disable Location when I want to? (I'm on Verizon with stock device)

  • Wow it is 4th month congrats Lenovo you have released the news that Moto g4 play will be getting nougat and see we haven't recieved the update even after 4 months..... Do u mean to say that the soak update is soaked away and we will not get the update....Can u please clarify P.S - Please alteast now say the truth

  • Do u face any gps issues? Like searching for gps while using maps

  • Honestly an amazing phone for what it is worth. I own this device and I have never had any major issues with it at all. I have never been dissatisfied with any part of this phone. In my opinion, I would definitely recommend this device to phone buyers in the market.

  • Because the device containing sd series 410 or below are not compatible for running nougat

  • Great phone but no 5ghz wifi

  • Who the hell knows..

  • when moto g4 play get nought update

  • We won't get it too. Wait some unknown time for that.

  • Not only urs bro no one has got nougat update.... As promised by Lenovo that we will be getting update by June still we didn't get, it's August now. Don't know when will we get the update. Seriously lost trust in Moto device after Lenovo took it over.....

  • why my g4 play is not recieving nougat 7.0 update??????????????????

  • Maybe you got security patch update not android update. But I've not faced any issues. My 64GB micro SD card works fine.

  • I haven't received an update for 7 yet. I got the phone last year in September and a few months ago it kept pushing me to do a software update. A week after I accepted the update, my phone started malfunctioning and stopped recognizing the SD card. In the forums, many people experienced this but only on Marshmallow and later and just with the moto g3, g4, g4 play, and x play. There could be other, idk. I've heard about the Moto G5 plus now corrupting SD cards. I won't get another Motorola until they can make me feel safe to use an SD card in the phone lol

  • My G4 Play sends all my texted 4 to 5 times. It only shows one on my screen but everyone I text receives the same text 4 to 5 times. I blamed carrier and they submitted a workorder to try and track and diagnose problem. But it never stopped. I have no idea!

  • Yes, completly, but saw any problems with folder manegement app.

  • It is 6.0.1 out of box. Do you mean 7?

  • The camera is actually decent. The subject needs to be still in artificial light though or else you'll get blur. Not the fastest camera either but it gets the job done.

  • Updating to 6.0.1 made my phone not recognize my SD card! Will they fix this by 8?? Ridiculous. So many people this happened to

  • I don't have any problem. It won't get android O but maybe N. It is clock app update and O support means it will work in android O devices Google Pixel and more.

  • me too using the same model bought from Amazon..its only take 1.30 hrs to charge the battery from 10%-100%

  • Hi friends, in last few days updated message and clock app (both Google apps). It says 'Andriod O support'... so surely we would receive new version of Android... (For last one month my phone experiencing random unmounting of microSD memory card. Do you have the cure for this problem?)

  • Mine is XT1602 version which is dual sim. And comes with standard charger. 10 - 100% takes almost 3 hours. But battery life is good.

  • I bought the retail version in latam (xt1601),and this version come with a fast charging adapter and it takes around 1:50 to 2 hours for a full charge.

  • Hello, for how fast you charge this phone?

  • It's normal,go outdoor then it will work correctly

  • Does anyone have gps problem?

  • Yes Go Gor moto g4 play no doubt i am using it from 6 months great phone But still not nougot update officially U can flash CR droid

  • Buy Moto G4 Play. You will get more battery life, more internal storage, more ram, better screen, stock android with no bloatware. Also it is very comfortable to hold and use.

  • By which year will it arrive bro????coz Lenovo is great with fake promises

  • My g4 play gps is not working good..is there any way to fix it?

  • The G4 has better features than the Samsung 7. I was going also to buy the Snamsung but then I investigated and saw the G4 is better.

  • no official nougat , so going to install lineage os 14.1. what's your opinion...?

  • I want to buy moto g4 play.but somebody tells go for samsung on 7.iam totally confused.please helo me anyone.thank u.

  • nougat???

  • It's a great phone but hopeless for travel. I wanted it for trips to Melbourne when I need to use my phone for email, web search etc. But if they happen to release a system update while I'm away, my whole hotel wifi quota will get used up AND the download will fail due to piss weak connections and not enough data. The phone will keep trying to download every time I connect to free wifi. Why can't I select manual download for system updates?!!

  • Please launch fast the Android 7.0 nougat version in India

  • I'm waiting too. Be patient.

  • when nogut update moto g4 play replay plz

  • Focus is slow but quality is great.

  • Until nougat arrive.

  • How was the camera quality ? pls reply me pls it's urgent

  • Moto G Way better bro.. Samsung J3 has Spreadtrum processor which is absolute useless. If you really want to buy samsung go for On5 pro or On7 they are better phones then J3. Using both On5 & G4 play both are excellent, but moto's touch is much more better

  • How much patience bro?????

  • Go for Motorola.

  • Is it better to compare samsung j3?

  • Lol Soak test chocking somewhere..

  • Clarity is good. HD screen with clean details and high brightness.

  • Hey Lenovo how much more years will your soak test last for G4 play??????

  • HD

  • Clarity is good. But its not a full hd screen its 720p scrren. So the clarity is good at this range of devices.

  • How is display clarity?

  • Not the best but great.

  • But at least moto g4 plus has 7.0.... it's something, and the moto g4 play is still on 6.0...So I hope Motorola release Nougat update for g4 play.

  • but, in YouTube you can see that the G4 Plus 7.1 Soak Test has been started 6 months before,and the device is now running on 7.0...G4 plus didn't get the official 7.1.1 update yet

  • How camera quality is it?

  • It's like a preliminary official software, in this software Motorola test it in a group of selected users for search some bugs, checks for stability, performance and stuff like that, therefore this causes avoid future problems when they launch the official software for all users.

  • any moto g play users here?? what about the camera ? please reply

  • No gorilla glass.....

  • goood best phone no heating

  • actually what is SOAK TEST ??

  • Liar, soak test of Android 7.1.1 has been released for moto g4 play, search for videos on youtube about that

  • no nougat for g4 play.

  • At least you must protect it with screen protector.

  • Android nougat update date??

  • Does it have corning gorilla glass protection??

  • Yes. If you have any questions about this phone ask me. I'm using it two months.

  • Does it support OTG pendrive???

  • Do you want nougat right now with bugs and issues? Be patient for better and smooth update.

  • any news about Nougat..? still waiting for that..

  • No

  • yup

  • What mean emgancy call blocked....plz tell and solv this problem

  • Just be a bit patient. Nougat is on way.

  • moto is promised dude.. wait they definitely give it

  • Where r u from? And which month security update you got?

  • For the guys saying it's fake.... This is a post from Lenovo and the guy posted with a picture.... So we can see the update sooner than later....

  • That link is bad

  • Mine got security update. No nougat yet.

  • not officially...but the official lineage os is released a few months before .

  • is there anyone who is using the lineage os 14.1 in moto g4play.???

  • Actually everybody saying that it will come in this month..but we are not getting any news about the update..thats why i wrote that.

  • I got nougat had it for awhile custom ROMs is where its at

  • Fact? Send me link please.

  • actually the fact is we are not going to get the update....

  • anybody got nougat yet?

  • Not perfect but good for this low cost phone.

  • Did anybody get nougat?

  • How is the camera clarity in low light?both of front and back?

  • under continual use i get about 6 hours with a full battery. This is a good inexpensive phone.

  • Go for it. Superb phone. Works smooth. Never lag. Stock android is just great. No bloatware. System is very clean and optimised well. Both front and rear cameras are very good. Battery life is amazing. If you use facebook and some apps it will last two or three days. I'm using it one month. If you have any questions ask me please.

  • May I buy this phone??!is it good? As I spend one hour in fb, WhatsApp,and watch some YouTube videos and study with some PDFs,how long the battery will stand??!

  • Link please?

  • everyone says that the g4 play gets 7.1.1 update in Brazil.does anyone gets that..is that correct...?

  • There is rumors going on by nougat is rolling on moto g4 play that is fully fake... we're not gonna get any update further

  • Thanks for link. Waiting for nougat.

  • It's receiving it, the rollout started today!

  • Me too waiting for nougat

  • I almost use it since last 6 months...one thing really disappointed me...i.e. camera rear camera is not good as in its class...may be there is problem with the default camera app...when i using anti-blur camera app...shot are comes good...another thing is it lakes pro mode & slow motion videos as well as...

  • File manager is disabled by default. Go and update it. It will show in app drawer. Go find music and play. Also you can use Google play music to play music.

  • Hi just bought this phone. Can anyone tell me how to go about playing mp3 files on play music from my memory card? The phone did not come with a music player pre-installed.

  • If they did promise you an update in June, then they still have 16 days to deliver on that promise. (I cannot comment on how trustworthy your source was for that promise.) Here in Canada, they said that the roll-out of Nougat for this model was supposed to have started back in March (https://motorola-global-portal-en-ca.custhelp.c­om/app/software-upgrade-news/g_id/1975 ); as of today it still hasn't reached me.

  • Yes. It is

  • It depends upon your usage. Mine shows 6 days right now with 80% battery.

  • After updating all my apps on my "new" phone, I re-charged the battery. When I checked the battery settings afterward there were only 12 hours available. This was a huge disappointment when my Moto G3 still lasts up to 48 hours on a full charge after almost 2 years. Needless to say, I kept my G3.

  • Mine is requesting approval to update my celphone. Not sure. Is it ok to update to Nougat when I already have my data and apps in my celphone?

  • Mine works fine. And RAM is 2GB. You've bought wrong version.

  • DONT BUY Weakest GPS and mobile network signal i've ever seen, not to mention, it comes only with 1GB(!!!)RAM in EU. Worst Buy ever. Very dissapointed after using a Moto E2 for more than a year and loving it.

  • select (use network signal and wifi for more accuracy) option in gps accuracy settings.. bt. it consume more battery

  • Still waiting for nougat update.....As promised by Lenovo that Moto G4 play will get the update in the month of June?????

  • If you have ES File explorer on your phone. uninstall it ......your problem will be solved after this.

  • Delete any recent app u installed.

  • Wrong charger. But i use Samsung 2amps charger and it charges very well within few hrs

  • Yes oooh we r still waiting oooh .no stories ooh

  • Not at all. I haven't noticed any hotness

  • Is the mobile getting hot when charging....,,? Mine is becoming really hot..

  • June has started Lenovo where is the nougat update??????????

  • Don't know why it is taking 3 hours to charge. mine takes only 1.30 hours to full charge with the provided charger & cable.

  • Thanks

  • Yes,it does.

  • Is it supported jio sim.....??????

  • its quite nice. best phone in too much cost.

  • In this budget it is excellent. Best

  • Yes u r right ..

  • yes it will get naught update

  • As for the charging times I noticed if u use a stronger charger it speeds up the charging process a lot the charger that comes with it is trash

  • I dont undenstand what you say

  • Please reply: 1) Is model number xt1602? 2) Will it get nougat update.

  • Perhaps the finest phone I've ever had. Mostly after the disastrous Huawei Y3/Y360 which is the WORST phone I've ever had. My G4 play is dual sim and it works flawlessly. It is fast, reliable, the battery lasts for the entire day, it has an excellent camera and EXCELLENT phone signal which is my opinion, is the most important feature of ANY phone. I postponed the purchase of the new Nokia until my Motorola wears out which can be several years!!! Buy it. you'll like it!!! Greetings from Colombia.

  • I've bought it one week ago. Smooth and fast phone. Battery life is excellent. Camera is good. No lag and no heating issue. Very durable phone. Built to last. The only con is that charging time is long about 3 hours. Overall great phone. Recommend it to anyone.

  • This mobile not working properly, this is very defficult to me , mobile asking like app overlap, I can't understand please help me

  • Has anyone received the android 7.00 update yet

  • Pls oooh has anyone received the android 7.00 update yet?

  • Very lovely. Very fast and very good battery. Buy it

  • I hv decided to buy this phone... how is the performance..

  • If you have a Family Dollar store in your area, mine was marked down to $34

  • I purchased mine at Family Dollar marked down to $34

  • I'm having a gps problem.. It takes too much time to get fix and even it does it loses periodically on the move.. Accuracy is not good either.. Does anyone have tis problem? How to solve it? Any suggestions are welcome

  • Go to setting find some app with screen overlay like messages or messenger turn off overlay install what you want and turn on overlay if you want

  • my phone get heated within 1mts of watching video what to do

  • How can the screen overlay problem be solved?

  • Bought yesterday. Performance is very good. Battery life is super.

  • The phone hangs very frequently during a call. I can hear the other party, but they can't hear me mid way and then the call drops. It is a three months old phone, and this problem started since the last about 15 days.

  • Please tell me if it has a wcdma only/3g only option in selecting network.

  • Yes, if u use internet speed meter or any other "draw over other" feature enabled app.

  • May be 9mm.

  • Do u wanna make direct 3g video call from dialer? If u want this, now a days almost all of the newer Android phone don't have this option. You can simply make video call over Internet using 3rd party video calling app like skype, messenger, Imo, whatsapp, viber etc.

  • What's ur model no (xt-16xx)? I've a xt-1607 US version & it doesn't have USB Host.

  • no problem

  • no, no problem after update

  • where did you get it for $100?

  • Thanks bro. I noticed it but its not doing bad. A great phone indeed

  • Yes mine started after i installed a battery optimization app. But i solved it by uninstalling d app dat caused it.

  • I'm going to buy this beauty tomorrow. Any suggestions?

  • is this phone having "screen overlay detected" problem??????

  • Is there any problem after update like battery backup or phone lagging etc

  • I can't make video call with this phone

  • There is small LED there between home and back button. Color is white but somehow moto has disanbled it in stock firmware. Light only glows while charging. For that phone needs to be rooted.Even after rooting there are various custom roms like resurrection cynogenmod are available with lots of customisations.

  • What's the thickness of the phone away from the camera?

  • Thanks. I'm going to buy it soon.

  • yes it does supports OTG. tested on indian moto g4 play

  • I was really delighted for what this phone offers in relation to its price. Putting things simply, it does what you'd expect it to do, and does it well. I'd say that it's a pretty valid option if you don't want/need so much power/functions or simply can't or do not want to spend a lot on a mobile.

  • I'm satisfied after used this phone ...good battery back up..better camera quality than same features others phone ..otg supported . Overall its quality is good.

  • Yes, I'm satisfied with the performance of this phone in a low budget. Good camera, battery backup & smooth operating.

  • Yes, it has light sensor but the sensor is slow. It struggles to adjust the brightness quickly.

  • No, it doesn't support OTG.

  • Mobile not in use time, first take display show date and time. How to put It?

  • I bought one in September and I love it. Works great with nice pictures. I don't use all the features yet, but it's great for me. Long battery life. For $100, I'm happy.

  • Yes

  • Yes, it does

  • Pls I want to buy this phone tomorrow, can anyone confirm if it has light sensor, I mean does it perform auto backlight display? Thnks my people

  • No LED notification light considering today's user centric world of usability, but Good Phone though.

  • I bought it two months ago. Great battery (three hours and a half daily usage, around 20% left in the evening; it's REMOVABLE), great performances (even with budget specs), good camera (I use it very rarely, if you are interested in it I can't help very much) and great design. I'm coming from a Moto E 2015, so I don't expect too much from my phone, but I think the user exerience is really good, with an almost stock Android OS. Unfortunately there's no gyroscope, so some Moto gestures are absent in this device, but Android 6.0.1 does his work (double clock on the power button will activate the camera). I'm still waiting for Nougat update, Moto support once said it will arrive in June, and I hope it will arrive at some point of time (otherwise it would really suck, theorically it should receive it, check out on Motorola Support site). I'm really happy with this device, I would highly recommend it. P. S.: I had a problem in my previous phone, which was overheating in normal usage. This phone doesn't do it.

  • is it supports otg cable?

  • Does it support both cdma gsm dual sim

  • Is this good phone to buy? Please reply fast.

  • I already did it. But after few seconds. It switch again to 3g and disconnected

  • Just select netwrk at 2g 3g auto to avoid 3g logo........and get h plus

  • Nougat update will be available in the month of June

  • You should go to your applications and disable the transmit data in the background to avoid using your data while not using the phone. Some applications like facebook, weather channel, etc. use the data transmission on the background.

  • I think the camera is way better than my Moto g3. It takes really sharp pictures, but then I've only had it one week. So far, I'm quite thrilled with the quality of this phone.

  • While using data connection except LTE .. on 3g or 2g. It works fine on E or H but after few seconds it switch to 3g and data connection disconnected.. is anyone having the issue.. with the other networks like 2g or 3g

  • Friends, how about the camera clarity? Does the camera capture good quality photos?

  • Will XT-1602 version get nougat update or not?

  • It's very good phone. I've XT-1607. It performs very fast & smoothly daily tasks. And battery backup also impressive. I got 8-9hrs SOT. I'm happy with this only problem is very simple camera UI, no extra funtion & stuggle in focusing objects quickly.

  • turn off hot spot or set up wifi pwd

  • Call to your carrier/phone company - the # of rings is set by them!

  • Bought one for my father, so far so good.

  • MOTO G4 features are good but i have a problem in it my data is getting utilized automatically with no such downloading. every time i open my data & next message i got from vodaphone that my maximum of data has been utilised. unable to understand this.

  • Is this phone durable? I have 2 young boys that are good at finding mommy's phone especially when I don't want them to.

  • Thank you for reply.

  • Phone was alright at first now super slow even after factory reset

  • Jsut start using this phone for 2 days. Everything is fantastic. But dont know why the device is heating up when using 4g data. How to resolve this? Is it a software issue or bug?

  • Its very nice phone...I am using it for past 6 months. no problem. but ony disadvantage camera clarity is not good. rest all is fine.

  • Yes

  • Does it use Google Play store?

  • when i use data connection with in 10mts my phone gets heated up don't know what the problem....any solution to this

  • My Galaxy s5 was dying I wanted a new phone with most of its assets plus it had to be dual sim & work on Att 4g, These we're the boxes that needed to be filled size 5”, speed, screen brightness ,weight, removable battery, android 6 os., U.S. Service, build quality , $150. Tops. After weeks of watching YouTube revues the Moto G4 play was the only one that checked all my boxes.. After 3 weeks I'm loving it. Hands down the best under $150 all around phone going.

  • Hi Lenovo are going to get any update before June????? Because still the security patch is for the month of February......

  • To add to the confusion a bit: The XT1601 has a custom variant for the Canadian market. It's still labelled XT1601, but it only has 1 SIM slot and 1 SD card slot.

  • the best phone ever camera is beat Samsung j7 camera both front and back camera is the best , battery is best support 4g volte with jio sim nice battery backup fast charging is there in 30 min - 40 to 45%battery goes a day on it best phone ever looks good camera is the best ever I have experience it love the phone there are 3 parts 1 for sim above it there is micro SD slot and ahead it there is 2nd sim slot , battery is 2800mah nice one love it for 40 percent used for continuous 6 hours use using 4g data and YouTube and all best phone but I think g turbo has little more function than this octa core and 13 megapixel

  • I am getting it on my Moto x play so must be something Lenovo is getting wrong across it mobiles.

  • CDMA SIM is working in this Moto G Play, 4th Gen ???

  • My bat lasts better than a day with high use. Rated a high point for the phone.

  • Yez

  • it is dual sim with separate sd card slot

  • Does this Phone has Hybrid Sim Slot

  • k6 power

  • Redmi brand best

  • Hey guys I'm bit confused between moto g4 play and lenovo k6 power..... Please suggest me which is best under 10k......

  • It is single sim device, does not have 2 sim slots.

  • Okay, but replying to a post dating from August is a bit useless.

  • Please don't spread false rumors... Motorola already announced Android N(7.0) updates on their official blog along with the full list of smartphones that will be getting Nougat. And Moto G4 Play is one in the top of the list. To verify just go to this link...

  • another important difference between two is performance... Moto E3 Power uses these.. Mediatek MT6735P which is Quad-core 1.0 GHz Cortex-A53 and Mali-T720MP2 where as Moto G4 Play uses... Qualcomm MSM8916 Snapdragon 410 Quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A53 and Adreno 306... it shows clearly which one can give you a better performance...

  • Hi! Use this nice phone for 10 days. I like its performance & simplicity. The only one problem, BUT A BIG ONE, is that the battery drains in 8 ours of normal use (some calls, some musik, some net-surfing). My last phone was LG F60, but with te same usage, I recharged it once in 24 or 36 ours. I think that Motorola with Lenovo experts must think about resistance more than about the performance of device.

  • Can anyone tell me please how to use phone and internet at same time. When I'm on phone internet does not work How do I fix.

  • only moto knows abt the update every1 is waiting (its sooo late)

  • Its amazing phone love this smartphone................low price.......hi performance no heating no hanging no any other problem Thanks moto

  • Does this mobile have any heating problem while using 4G net?

  • that error usually means sd card corruption, try it on a different cellphone, if the problem persists then it is the card

  • Moto g4 play,,, Support for otg You can, use , pendrive, keyboard,mouse, other phone charge cum data, any printers,,,,, This my experience,overall best MOTO G PLAY

  • I had no issue installing recovery/custom firmware/rooting. Perhaps you are not the power user you think you are.

  • S5 was upper segment phone with AMOLED screen, from 2014. Moto G 4 play is last in mid range offerings of G family, with IPS LCD screen. Comparison is not an appropriate one.

  • the phone do not have bright colors as on my S5 ... But it's a great cell phone! Excellent cost x benefit ...

  • Facing Issue related to sd card on my G4 Play. SD card gets auto unmounted after some time. Starts reading back again once restarted but disappears after 1-2hrs. Any help ?

  • will there be android N ? WHEN...

  • Descent average phone, but Android OS customization is rather awkward. No recommend it for higher-level users.

  • The ring on my motoG4 play does not sound when a call comes in. When I went to sounds in settings, the ball has turned into a little tiny circle all the way to the left, and it will not move to the right. Any fixes?

  • even motorola actually in innovator level, not copy paste like many, but G4 play still cann't compete to s7. But even iphone7 cann't match G4 play screen to body ratio lol

  • I too want to know about new update for g4 play is safe & secure ?

  • I also want

  • Yes, the Moto G4 Play is sold in South America. I don't know others, but Movistar has it in Argentina.

  • Is it safe to upgrade sorfware of g4 ply?

  • Moto g4 or moto turbo? Wich is better?

  • otg support?

  • I wonder when Nougat??? maybe better then.

  • I just bought this phone. But wifi is working very slow in this phone. Did you faced the same problem? I am connecting the phone with my Airtel modem and the plan is of 4 mbps. It is still taking so much time to download system update of 425 MB.

  • It will support to 2g and 3g

  • I read your article about the moto g play and that it is a good deal given that it is unlocked, i have not been able to get the phone to recognize my sim card let alone make calls or use my data. I am with the Fido network. any ideas

  • if you want compact then buy xiaomi like what you said no need to put negative comments its your choice to select. This phone has descent specs for peice and has no bloatware and also has removable battery which is handy.

  • This phone should have been successful in sales if only they made it available to other countries. I have been searching this in UAE and Philippines but there is none. The only motorola that they advertise was the moto g4 plus and the moto z. This phone should compete with xiaomi redmi note 3 since it has removable battery.

  • this phone is otg supported

  • U cud use other apps. Such as Quickpic the one m using

  • I even had such problems but got to know that defect was in my sd card itself. After changing the sd card it's working well

  • The best unlocked smartphone money can buy right now hands down and does everything just as good as flagship can do and If I was you I had take it and run.

  • Gyroscope is missing why?

  • when will android n update come ?

  • So good

  • For me, the main point of buying a 5 inch phone is the desire for compactness. This is in fact my currently preferred size. However, this phone is a bit bulky for maximum compactness compared to the Xiaomi Redmi 3 series. The Moto is 144.4 mm long vs the Redmi 3 at 139. The Moto is 72 mm wide vs Redmi at roughly 69 mm. There are some 5.2 inch phones of similar width to the Moto and even the 5.5 inch Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge is only 72 point something wide, don't know exactly, but the Moto is way too wide because of over thick bezels. Defeats the purpose if you are looking for maximum compactness.

  • I'm getting almost 24 hours of battery life with bluetooth off, 40% screen brightness, light web browsing, few calls, few downloads and watching some videos via wifi. As any other phone, It drains faster when using camera, GPS, 4G network, but even with heavy use I'm getting 12+ hours. The original charger with 10W takes 1h30min to 2 hours for a full charge. A few minutes plugged in a PC with the USB cable can get you more hours when unplugged. I'm very happy with it. It gets hot above the "M" logo in the back in the first 30 minutes of charging or when using the camera, but it's not something that should worry a prospective buyer. Very good battery life with Android 6.0. I use an app called Greenify to put background processes in hibernation and it definitely helps a lot. Very decent performance, no lags, in 2 months I have never needed to reset the phone because of bugs. I wish the camera had better performance and more manual controls but OpenCamera is a good alternative app. GSMArena this is my thank you for being such a great site!!

  • How good is the battery life? On average how many hours does it get?

  • very bad service.

  • This doesn't have any inbuild led notification light.

  • In these recent I'm facing troubles with It.. I hv put an extrnl SD card in it... When i watches movies or hearsmusic i cant use my External storage... I has been removed automatically.. It wil be proper if i switchd off and on my cell... In my fon there was a feature that allows me to Format My external storage as Internal.. Now itself i made my memory card like that... I donno wot will happen

  • All Moto phones have a feature called Active display. Moment you move your phone, screen will display all the notifications ( without unlocking) No need to have led notification ( though it has led underneath, but inactive in most of phones)

  • no it dosen't have

  • Hi, does anybody know wether it has the led notifications build in?

  • This phone could have a great success if this is allowed to be sold in other countries I cant find this phone in UAE and Philippines.

  • Redmi note 3 with armor case

  • You buy any Samsung or Motorola mobile. Their built quality is fine and its wiring connections chip used it's mother barads are absolutely guanine , stays longer and stronger. Not look wise but inside built wise. Other China sets seems fantastic but if you open its inside mother board chipset cable connections you will notice it's not quality wise strong.

  • Thinking to buy this phone but Is it good for rough and tough use and for camera ? Plz suggest me phones under 11,000

  • It has gorilla glass 3 for camera protection. i am using it.. don't worry :)

  • moto g play is good mobile , decent camera very good performance , no heating issue, i like it very much.

  • I hear ya. I just bought the Moto G4 Play yesterday and discovered the gallery has disappeared. One strike against Marshmallow

  • What is with galery? Everything must go on google cloud. I don't like that!

  • The cell phone can work with chip Peru, eh if purchased in USA

  • Yes camera of moto g4 play is fat better than moto e3 or moto g3.... undoubtedly better from my experience I m saying

  • No I can't.

  • Did you video call directly from your dialer if u can. Could u help me bcoz I have the same phone, but I can't able to make video call directly from my dialer. In VoLTE set we can directly call (voice/video) from dialer isn't? Please help me....

  • In my opinion good camera. Atleast better than redmi 3s prime and moto g3. Just lv with camera

  • May anyone can tell me how is it's camera ?

  • Yaa I also wanted to know that!

  • It doesnot CONTAIN any sim when you buy. But it has provisions for dual SIM. You need to insert Sims after you get it.

  • dual

  • I'm thinking of buying this phone - is it easy to format it to store apps on the memory card? On my Samsung I cannot do this, and things like Facebook take up massive amounts of memory. Could I store this on the card? Many thanks.

  • had the moto g4 play about ten days now its very responsive on touch and fast picks up a better stronger signal than my Samsung s5 did I can hear a lot more clearly when talking to someone now the camera is really good in good light just average in low light the hd quality is really good I don't do gaming lol so cant comment on that I got this phone for a 115 quid on amazon If I do come across any faults or niggles I will keep you posted wifes phone acetel keeps overheating so I'm going to buy her a g4 play

  • Using it right now on Verizon, as simple as installing the SIM card.

  • Is it contains dual sim? Or single sim?

  • Moto G4 Play has a *** user removable battery *** . Need I say more?

  • So, after putting my trust and money into iPhone 7, S7 Edge, Moto Plus 64gb I happy to f.i.n.a.l.l.y. have the phone that is just right for everyday use and doesn't make me look like a snob who is trying hard to be cool. Wow! Just picked it up for £79 on Vodafone Xmas sale and totally LOVING it. It performs well, even the camera is decent, battery life is superb and if by any shortage of luck I kill it there will be plenty of cash left to buy a new one. It isn't meant to impress but if like myself you are looking for a workhorse smartphone and not a vanity tool then this is the right one! By the way- it is basic BUT it doesn't look or feel cheap. Solid device. 10/10/10 value/performance/quality.

  • One reason is security. Even though there may be only one user, that single user could have several roles. For e.g. you may use the phone for banking, social networking, gaming etc. Depending on the role the user account for that role can be configured to have different levels of security - which apps are enabled for the account and so on. Cheers

  • Anybody knows the about exact date of nougat release for g4 play

  • I'd like to know if the camera scratches easily, my boyfriend has motorola g4 plus and his camera does have that problem.

  • No I am using this mobile and I am from India. Excellent Mobile no problem. Using jio from one month no problem. Internet speed is amazing and volte supported. Go for it.

  • I'm using it on Verizon in America. Nice phone, I like it.

  • I heard that this phone is not compatible or doesn't work full speed with Indian 4g networks, because some lte bands are missing in this phone for the indian model. So 4g network will be a mess with Indian 4g network like jio... if anyone knows more detail of what am saying please share

  • When it is going to get nougat update....any news...pls reply fst

  • Excellent mobile.Not a single problem found. Just love with camera . Speed charging . No hangs or lags found. From my side it's 10 out of 10

  • I have been using the G4 play for 3 weeks now and I must say I'm happy overall with this phone for the price. I'm not into gaming on my smart phone so I can't comment on that. It says my average memory usage is 1.2gb of ram, battery is lasting me entire day with moderate usage. No noticeable lag between the app's I tend to use. Only cons for me is camera not the best. Does alright outside and in good lighting. Not so great indoors or poor lighting. Flash seems to leave a very yellowish tinge on photos. Another con would be lack of led notification light, it just doesn't have one at all. Micro SD card can be formatted to be used as probable media OR formatted so can be used as device storage for app's. I thought that was worth a mention as someone on here said they could use expandable storage for installing app's.. you Can just format correctly. Speaker is front facing and plenty loud. Overall good cheap phone. Tough to say it has any drawbacks if you can get it for a cheap price.

  • Does anybody bought this as an unlocked and using on verizon in the US?

  • this phone is GSM, it will work in South America? please help me

  • All submodels of G4 and G4 Plus will get Android 7.0 As for G4 Play it's not confirmed yet, except one or two submodels.

  • Try honor 5c Or Redmi 3s prime fantastic beast

  • G4 plus is better choice.

  • Hello pals! I am about to buy a new phone from Amazon. I am choosing between a Motorola G4Play, this one costs $100 usd, 8MP camera, has 2gb RAM, 16gb ROM and it´s upgradeable to marshmallow Android (older). Or rather go for a Motorola G4Plus with great specs! 16 MP camera, 4GB RAM, 64 GB ROM, upgradeable to Nougat Android (newer) for $270 usd. Or even go for a Huawei Honor 8 which is similar to the Moto G4 Plus but with less ROM (has 32gb) and a lower resolution camera 12 MP for $300 usd. I am very enthusiastic about the Moto G4 Plus considering the price and specs. However I don´t know whether or not Huawei is currently more reliable than Motorola, and it would be worth sacrificing the extra ROM and camera resolution for $30 extra.

  • Why would you need a feature intended for tablets, on a phone where there should only need to be one primary user? Unless you intend to use it as a home-bound phone (which is something a basic phone or landline would be better for anyways), I don't see how this is even an issue. Then again, use-cases do vary - I just think it's rather nitpicking to judge something meant for one person solely because it doesn't support multiple users.

  • Moto G4 Play is curtailed version of Android. It doesn't allow you to add users.

  • It is a really grippy rubber back, I love it.

  • hi guys i wanted to know what is the material of the back panel rubber or plastic??

  • The phone has Corning Gorilla Glass 3 Protection and Nano Coating which makes it splash proof or accidental water spilling.

  • Battery is removable where you will also find the micro sd card slot and dual 4g sim card slot, it supports VoLTE

  • It does support VoLTE.... Refer to the given link

  • Twll me how to check.. than i will inform you..

  • Can't use a compass app on this phone because it does not have a magnetic sensor. What's the work around for this? I need to have a compass for doing site surveys for my job. 2yo Droid had it and this new one doesn't. SMFH.

  • Moto g4 play verizon works in bands 850 2g and 850 3g or not ?

  • Choose one from the list,recommended in descending order: 1- Redmi note 3 2- Moto G turbo 3- Moto G play Moto has nearly stock Android. It will work smooth compared to others. Redmi is good combination of optimised hardware and compatible software. Others may seem good, but no one can beat Moto and Redmi in long run, not even Sammy.

  • U r using jio and this phone don't support volte

  • I switched on g4play from a Xperia z3 and I think this Moto is quite impressive. Great battery life, quite good build and overall specs pretty fine for the VERY low price I've paid (149€)!

  • Camera is asking to restart n the apps stored in SD card is not being detected even after formatting SD card as internal. It has been very difficult to use

Rapid charger is awesome.

  • Can any1 suggest me that is it a volte or LTE..??

  • Camera is always asking to restart.. It has become really very difficult now

  • ips or tft

  • I think it's a good phone but it needs a few updates about anybody else but you so please contact me

  • Thanks,

  • If you use with all sensors on (Bluetooth,wifi,4g),play media intensive apps,games,movies etc your battery will be out in few hours. If you just use for simple calls,sms,emails you may last 1.5 days. Please understand, there are no set rules about how much a battery lasts. People use a phone with 2000 mAh for 2 days without any charging. And there are people who drain out a 4000 mAh battery in half a day. Depends on usage. Only you can answer this question for yourself, as you know your usage pattern. It's no point in asking anyone to tell you about battery.

  • How long the battery lasts.

  • It's lithium ion polymer battery of capacity 2800 mAh. It's removable. It's already written in specifications. why do you want someone to tell you about it? Or is it that you want to know something more specific?

  • Hi, can any one tell about the battery of this phone

  • lte is 4g

  • How can i set my phone ringtone ? please reply me

  • the video is about gorilla glass. I want whether the phone displays LTE or Volte for data in the top?

  • Hi...In my phone it is showing 4G,3G and 2G support. but its not showing LTE in the top signal data area? is anyone facing like that or whether we need to use in particular slim slot or what to do? kindly suggest me...

  • Go Ahead . G Moto G4 Play is really awesome . No heating issues too :)

  • Spend some 5000 more and get Moto G4 plus. It's an upgraded G turbo. G4 play is nothing but G3 in new body. If you are not into heavy gaming and are more into basic functions of calls,sms,emails etc., I will recommend you to go for G4 play. Don't worry about fingerprint scanner. It's actually a more fancy. If you can manage with pattern pin and / or numeric pin, no need to worry about security.

  • Don't mess up the battery... Otherwise it'll explode like Bombsung Note7

  • Please suggest between moto g turbo and moto g4 play. I heard there is heating problem in moto g turbo and its one a year old too but it has more features than moto g4 play. So can't decide......... Plz help

  • Things vary from company to company. But again seems you missed the point. If it is A-GPS then connection is assisted by your cellular company( whichever sim you use). If that is weak then it's a problem. Xiaomi provides value for money when it's comes to features and price we pay.

  • Moto g4 play or moto g turbo ........which should I buy??? Pls suggest. G4 play costs ₹9000/- and G turbo costs ₹10000/-

  • I wnt to buy this phone,,how is it?????plz say frnds...

  • it not lenovo it motorola mc....

  • Hi friends, can anybody give a clarity about heating issue in this phone.

  • Firstly thanks for reply.. and 2ndly u r saying it's a lower midrange phone and should not expect that feature it.. And it's a flagship mobile features..!!!! I used Nokia x2 ,motorola g 1gen, moto g 2nd gen , xiaomi redmi 2 , xiaomi redmi 2 prime and all have A-GPS, GLONASS, BDS except moto g 1st and 2nd gen.. at least previous moto g generation had with A-GPS, GLONASS....so I was asking ... and official website says only a-gps written and here in this website it's written with A-GPS, GLONASS, BDS.. So I asked.

  • GPS,GLONASS,BDS are agencies providing GPS services.they are not chips or hardware as you are requesting it's confirmation. Though it's free to access, they are under government controls. Sensors are only a chip inbuilt in mobile motherboard. These work either with assistance from your phone service provider( that is what is called A-GPS- Assisted GPS). If your phone network is weak,nobody can help. Other way of connecting is using your data services. Again if data services are weak,you will be helpless. For chip info you need to contact Motorola directly. It's a lower mid range phone and you expect to squeeze out precision features like a flagship phone. If you want to have very accurate GPS service better use a dedicated GPS device.

  • Can any one confirm me which gps sensor are supported in moto g4 play? Official website says only a-gps bt some websites says A-GPS, GLONASS, BDS sensors....

  • Yours is not a question, but you are playing mischief with gadgets. Every component of a particular instrument is calibrated to work in sync with each other , though they may be appearing same outside. And this is one of the reasons that original spares and accessories are insisted. E3 battery is calibrated to work with its 'team' and G4 play battery is calibrated to work with it's 'team'. Moment you exchange( if it works,which actually should not) the batteries,you are creating problems with working system of the respective instruments.

  • This does not answer my question, you are only giving another option.

  • Oh. It's so simple man. Use comon sense. Instead of buying a new handset for its battery or buying other handset's battery and trying to fit in,rather buy an extra battery of handset you are using (E3 or G4 play) and keep it as standby with full charge. This makes it simple rather than complicated.

  • Both phones are almost identical in size with the Power being .3mm thicker and both GK40 and GK50 batteries look the same. It will come down to someone actually trying a G4 Play phone with the E3 Power battery. If one wanted to use the Play with a "beefy" battery.

  • If the E3 Power battery fits and works in the G4 Play, one could use the phone with an extended battery. It seems very obvious to me.

  • What are you trying to do? E3 Power is 3500 mAh and G4 play is 2800 mAh. Why are you simply messing up things?

  • Does anyone have both the G4 Play and E3 Power? Can you use the E3 Power GK50 battery in the G4 Play if it fits and the phone recognizes it?

  • I had said same thing when it was launched. These are more or less same with only major difference being SD processor and battery capacity. Instead of 2 handsets, E3 power with SD processor would have been a great combination.

  • Moto e3 power just overwhelm this device.. with better battery and cheaper price... i dont know what motorola is thinking when they just luanched 2 device in just 1 month with almost same specs

  • Thanx buddy.. Ur ans will help me alot.

  • i don't know why people are expecting too much from basic phones, they even dont know why these phones are cheap. Companies are providing cheap phones to consumer by pay less salaries to their workers, what about the expectation of these workers working in these companies for more than 12hr, these peoples are working hard to live basic life. so please care about these peoples and try to satisfy yourself and control your demands.

  • Please read comments on this forum from past few days before you shoot any question. Few of us have answered your question number of times. There is one person named JS48.he has answered it. In short - it's a budget phone. Don't have sky high expectations. It's not for heavy gaming.

  • Is it suitable for gaming

  • It has 5.2 V 2A charger . Not 9V charger like moto g4 plus . But it's very good. 10% - 100% it takes 1 hr 30 minutes. I have tried charging it via moto g2 charger which is just 550mA that takes 4 hrs to charge it. I am using 64 gb memory card works good. Really good phone.go for it

  • Dual sim or not ??

  • Go for G4 play. It will be better than E3 Power. But if you want beefy battery, then chose E3 Power. But mind you, both are basic phones, good for phone calls,messages,emails etc. Don't expect too much like games and heavy graphics application on these. When you buy any of these two, request to do the following - do not use phone while charging - do not try to download many apps at same time. Load them one by one.have patience. - prolonged usage with graphics intensive apps will result in warming of both devices. Please understand, these are not power robots, but are basic phones. - try not to cover with thick and heavy protective shells / skins. It may hinder dissipation of warming. - AND DONT GO BY NEGATIVE COMMENTS THAT YOU SEE. DECIDE FOR YOURSELF. NO PHONE IS PERFECT. IT IS UPTO A USER HOW HE/ SHE USES IT PERFECTLY ( after understanding it's limitations) If you stick to basics ,you will have a pleasant experience.

  • Bought this one tdy and has call droping problem in all incoming and out going calls..Waiting for manufacturer's assistance to resolve this big issue

  • What do you mean by standby time? Larger battery would mean longer idle time?

  • I would like to know this as well. To use it as an extended battery for the G4 Play.

  • Thanx bro..

  • Please suggest one mobile moto G4 play and moto e3 power which mobile i should buy???

  • Also for faster charging and better improved battery life I suggest that we put the phone in airplane mode while charging the phone. I do remove the phone case so it won't feel like it is heating up a lot during charging. The case sort of locks up heat so it won't be good for the phone. Just a suggestion

  • Demerits. -No games for more than 30mins. -Heating while on video call, while using data for more than 1h continuously, while watching video and on call (normal for all phones) The rest like no fingerprint tech, not waterproof and all might be demerits for some. But for the price paid, we get a normal budget phone from a renowned brand

  • Any demerits or cons of this mobile???

  • Ok bro... thanx for your reply

  • Is it have gorilla glass

  • Bro, it takes 1hr15mins to full charge and yes it does come with a fast charger, not a turbo charger. And off course I bought it on amazon.in

  • Yes me also heard from YouTube that a charger comes in box bt from another review in amazon I saw someone written taking long time to charge and it's not turbo charger or rapid charger or something like that.. so just asking who bought this can any one confirm how many time it takes to 0-100% ?

  • Does it support 64gb card, anyone tried yet ?

  • i am not sure but according to a review on youtube.Moto g4 play comes with 5V 2A charger... and it takes around 1hour to charge up it 2800 mah battery full... its not the turbo charger that comes with other high end moto phones but is still pretty good.

  • 1) Can any one please confirm me in box turbo charger provided or not???? Or for speed charging I have to buy a new speed charger or turbo charger??? 2) If turbo charger provided then how much time it take 0-100% ?? 3) If not provided them how much time it take 0-100% ?? I want to buy this mob so plz anyone confirm me.. I am from India

  • Because Lenovo is the official owner of Motorola.

  • Yes

  • Lenovo is parent company of Motorola.

  • does it have usb otg

  • They own motorola

  • Because Lenovo purchased Motorola from Google This year

  • Dual sim

  • While switch on the phone its showing lenovo, can anyone tel me the reason for tat

  • Yes it is. Both the sim slot supports 4G and only the Primary one supports VoLTE. Also to note, you can't have 4G simultaneously active for both the sim, but only one.

  • I believe band is 40 instead of 41 and band 5 and band 26 are same. Pls correct as band 40 is for 2300 which is initially required for 4G VOLTE in Jio.

  • This phone Dual Sim or Single Sim?

  • Does anyone feel the disturbance, a little speaker disturbance when playing a music or video on high volume.

  • Thank you, bro... my doubt is that whether it has gorilla glass protection and it is stated in the site that 2 sim card slots can be used for 4G, is it true? ..kindly confirm this for Moto G4 play before buying?

  • There's a lot of reviews below just go through it. "I am personally satisfied with its overall performance even while gaming(overkill3,morden combat 5, modern strike online, mortal kombat). And in full charge the battery lasted for straight 4 hours of gameplay, to mention with VoLTE. So it easily lasted a day on normal usage too, also with VoLTE".

  • Also check the format of Sd card and try changing it(Fat or NTFS). Fat preferred.

  • Either way when the mobile detects the SD card initially it shows as portable storage. But if you want to use it as combined Internal storage, only then you will have to format, that too in the device itself. Try with some other memory card same of class 10. Just to make sure where the problem is, before a conclusion.

  • Hi, Can anyone tell me, whether G4 play has gorilla glass and performance related to battery? pros and cons over all...

  • I have the moto g4 you have to format sd card for it to work in your phone. I google how to install a sd card for a moto g4 play follow the step of installing and it work.

  • My elder brother has moto g4 plus. and it supports SAMSUNG class 10 16GB memory card....

  • moto g4 play is available on Amazon and there are exchange offers on Amazon for selected pin codes I think. You can check if exchange is possible to your pin code. right now I thought I saw some cash back offers. I'm not sure if any other site sells moto g4 play. It is an Amazon exclusive phone. And e3 is a flipkart exclusive one.

  • Memory card not detecting. What can be done? I've had tried 2-3 memory cards not a single is detected. Solution?

  • I have Samsung class 10 memory card. It doesn't support. I've used it in my low end device, but after inserting it in moto g4 play the phone doesn't detect the memory card. So is it that I've to format my samsung 32 gb memory card and then try it in moto g4 play?

  • Sir, I do have a mobile make Intel aqua power 2, I purchased it in Dec 2015, now I want to exchange the same with motor g play,please let me know from where I can get it exchanged

  • Thank you bro.

  • Thanks. I will give a try n make myself clear.

  • No bro it does support.. I have been using Sandisk ultra class 10. It's perfectly OK

  • Settings -->sim cards-->connection priority -->voice or data. If we choose voice, data will be interrupted to receive calls on non data sim. If we choose data, calls to the non data enabled sim will go to the voicemail if data is active. I tried both options and checked now.

  • You sure? If yes, I really didn't know that. I had been using my old class 6 memory card. I did plan on getting a class 10 one from Amazon. Seems I've to cancel that plan of mine

  • I am not sure if there are other ways. but what I did I will explain --> Click on the phone app(a retro style phone icon). Top right corner you can see the pop down menu symbol. click on it and go to setting. Click on calling accounts and choose sim 1 or sim 2. And then you can choose the call forwarding settings and set your preferences

  • There's one thing that no website mentioned, nor amazon nor gsm arena has. This and moto g4 family phone supports class 2,4,6 memory cards only. No class 10 cards are supported.

  • Also, I thought that the second sim supports only edge/2g connectivity. But when I changed sim preference for cellular data to sim 2, the second sim detected the high speed 3g signal available and I could use 3g on second sim. The sim enabled for cellular data shows high speed 3g whereas the other one shows the signal available as 2g.

  • Thanks

  • Yeah. We can choose our preference for voice or data on the phone. If you choose voice (default option), then data will be interrupted while on calls. If you choose Data option, then voice calls won't be possible while using data. It will be left as voice mail message if permitted. I am yet to try it as I was okay with the voice option over data. ( I noticed option in settings and read the options in detail.)

  • Yes two sim and a memory card can be used at the same time

  • Yes external memory card has supported.. there is no hybrid slot..

  • No.. battery backup is good.. I have purchased this mobile.. it give me one day battery backup with 24 hours wifi connection..

  • In my primary slot I am using Jio in Volte mode and second slot with Airtel, but it has 2G band only. If there's a way to change it to 3G I would be glad to know.Thing is, when ever I receive a call on Airtel, there's no coverage for Jio Volte. What's up with it. I am just curious to know.

  • Really appreciate you for answer, thank you. As a matter of fact I went with the flagship moto g4 play. Also I am glad to see that you have mentioned this device can hold pressure underwater(luckily). Either way I am not out for risk. But now I just wanna make sure, that the second sim slot in this device suports only 2g. Because I can't find a way to change it to 3g.

  • Can we use two sim card and memory card at same time

  • Battery drains quickly while using WiFi,3g,4g,Bluetooth. Be it any handset ( flagships inclusive) battery will go down quickly with above mentioned functions.

  • This phone drains battery in background too. Is it normal or should I replace it?

  • Does battery drain fast ? Cuz mine is. Over wifi my battery drains 1% with 3-4mins of use. I've ordered it on amazon. Should I replace it or is it normal?

  • How to set up call forwarding in moto g4 play

  • Yes you can use two GSM Sim cards in the phone

  • I want to know can I use two gsm sim card in it?

  • Good phone nice price does not overheat like most other android phones iv used that cost twice as much in cases this is a replacement phone for me and better than my original phone battery lasts all day while in use charge overnight never an issue

  • You're most welcome. I wish you get the phone which suits your needs.

  • many thanks! All became clear.

  • Go for Redmi if u want Excellent processor for gaming(recommended for heavy gamers) Want to have best and quick application switching experience. Best browsing experience Good Camera Fingerprint scanner And miui 7 experience (upgradable) Verdict: buy it you are a heavy user who requires battery and performance throughout the Day Go for moto if u want Stock Android experience (lately it will get nougat 7.0 update this December) Good gaming(practically has endured heavy games without lags which gave me quite a surprise as I didn't expect that to happen) Better camera than redmi Fast charging (15 min of charging enough to last for 5-6 hours) Moto Play does not support gyroscope sensor Dual SIM experience which Redmi does not support And of course the water repellent Nano coating(note that it only protects the device from accidental splashes of water...even though it did survive underwater for more than 15-20 min) Otg support is also available Verdict: buy it if you are a light user who cares about photos and wants stock Android experience without bloatware.. P.s. if you want an alternative then it's worth looking at Asus Zenfone series as it supports most of the sensors

  • Use UC browser the best in all platforms and also you may choose either mobile version or desktop version window / browse. Speed mode & high speed download.

  • You're most welcome

  • Dual Sim. Both micro Sims. Nano Sim possible with adapter. Also, I checked the language settings. Yes Russian( ру́с&­#1089;кий ) is supported.

  • Yes external SD card slot is just above the Sim 1 slot

  • moto g4 play are external memory supported or not

  • Hello, I want to know how many SIM cards in this smartphone, 2 or 1? and whether there is an opportunity to use your smartphone in Russian? I apologize for the automatic translation of language.

  • Thank you

  • Pardon me but I did not understand the issue well. Fails to open as in chrome crashed while you tried opening Google homepage? What is the error message you are getting?

  • I chose moto for my wife because of the service center availability and also for the brand name and I needed a budget phone for her for basic purpose like surfing shopping, calls etc. Here, the service center response of xiaomi is not too popular and helpful so it was a personal choice. I'd suggest you weight all aspects carefully including how you use the phone, do you need a lot of spec, and availability/helpfulness of the service center people. Hope you make the right choice and get the phone which suits your needs :-)

  • Heating up during charging will be there, turbo charging right? That's why. During calls and on 3g calls there will be slight heating near the camera. Well because of the old processor, if we play games for more than half an hour it will start heating up. And if you are playing subway surfer type games then the game interface might even become slow. It is because of the low clock speed and the processor.

  • I would say its a decent camera on 8mp. Does its job well by capturing all the details it can. And both G4 play, E3 cameras are the same. Its all about the differnce in processor and battery.

  • Guys.. seriously, which one should i buy ? Redmi 3s prime or Moto g4 play !!! I have booked 3s prime in Flipkart but the seller didnt process it yet. So, between all the discussions below, I am really confused which one to go with. I am well aware of the hardware difference, performance and multi-tasking between both. My main concern is value for money and I don't want to face any issues after a month of usage or with in, also not to be disappointed with my choice. SO PLZ SUGGEST A VALUE ONE. Thank you.

  • how its camera ???? i want to purchase this phone or E power

  • I have an problem with my phone. when i open google in Google chrome then some times it failed to open.so what is the solution to fix this problem.

  • I am getting lot of heat issue while charging, talking phone, games playing please help me Friend's

  • Android N for this device is officially announced by Motorola in Q4.

  • Thanks man :)

  • Well if he plays games especially the medium and heavy games then it will hang as the processor is an old one and the clock speed is low. 2GB RAM is there. But the processor and clock speed are the main components which decide whether a phone will hang when handling complex (lots of gaming, very quick and rough multitasking) operations. For me, I've had no issues with the phone so far all thanks to God. If the person who is using the phone is facing the issues like hang/heating even though he is not playing a lot of games, then I'd say that's not normal. If you are not looking for a budget phone and want to play games on the phone, then you should opt for the higher models(which costs 10-15k) with better snapdragon processor and a clock speed of 1.5GHz or more :-)

  • I had ordered g4 play my friend was sayjng it is having a hanging issue ....... Is that so ? can u tell me? .... By the way i dnt think it will hav any hanging issue coz of 2 gb ram

  • It is packed with 1 GHz Quad-core MediaTek MT6735P with Mali-T720 MP2 and 2 GB RAM I doubt it will be a good gaming one. I know that temple run and similar games run on it but if we play it for more than an hour, it will start to slow down a bit. High end games both e3 power and g4 play can't run smoothly.

  • Well, you can buy it you fit one or all of the descriptions given below 1) a light gamer and one who needs the turbo charging 2) one who surfs internet continuously, searching, chatting, shopping on different sites, using the locations services and to watch some videos and all 3) one who doesn't need an extraordinary camera clarity (8mp is average) 4) one who needs a good/average battery 5) one who needs a budget phone with a great UI and also the brand name of moto 6) one who wants the stock android experience Before buying, do check if moto service centers are available in or near your city. Since this is more of an online exclusive phone, they won't let you replace or return it. You might have to go to the service center for help if you get a defective model or anything like that.(I'm just being negative don't worry :-D ). Do check. Also, if you are willing to spend an extra 4 to 5k,you can buy the moto g4 4th gen which has the fingerprint technology, a better camera, 3000mah battery and a better processor. But, if you are looking for a budget phone, then go ahead with this one. Don't expect a lot of stunning features for the price. As I've mentioned earlier, this is just a budget phone.

  • Hmmm ! Phone Name-Moto G4 Play ! i don't why moto use this Name G4 Play ! it's sound like this phone is for playing !!! and when u see the Specificatioms..... it has only Chipset--Qualcomm MSM8916 Snapdragon 410 CPU Quad-core -- 1.2 GHz Cortex-A53 And GPU--Adreno 306 only one think is good in this phone Android 6 AND it's planned to upgrade to v7.0 (Nougat) which is really good ! .....

  • He has given such a detailed review, explaining all plus and minus of the handset. He has taken this pain so that one can take decision based on it. And you are asking him the same question? Have you understood what has he written? If yes then there will be no more question about which phone to buy.

  • Nitin, why don't you search for e3 related comments? This is g4play section.

  • Should i go for this mobile ?

  • That happens because most of phones consider earphones as hands free profile. When you remove earphones, it switches to normal profile and phone stops all apps for time till it finishes the task of profile change. That's why your music stops. This will happen with other phones too, not just Motorola. Your music will stop even when you get an incoming call or SMS. Call,SMS are primary function and music secondary function. So it's default protocol to attend primary function first.

  • is e3 good for gaming

  • Hi g4play users i bought new g4play just 3days back .mobile is amazing.,nw I'm facing one music problem ,when I'm hearing song from music player,suddenly when I remove the earphone the music will not play.... automatically silent. Plz give any solution on this

  • Far better device than Sony xperia xa for less the money

  • I've heard many complaints about the GPS issues with g4 play. Thank to God, so far I've no issues with the location tracking and all. Works well for me.

  • No slow motion video recording on moto g4 play. It is more like a Budget phone in the g4 family.

  • Yes i felt so. You see, at a glance e3 power packs a lot of features for the price. Battery life of 3500mah is great and priced lower than the g4 play(1000rupees lower). But we are ignoring the processor while we are focusing on the spec offered. Also e3 power has a lower clock speed of 1 GHz. Moto g4 play has 1.2GHz clock speed. But it is a personal choice. For me I play light games and prefer the snapdragon processor to mediatek so I would choose g4 play over e3 power. I wish you make the right choice and buy the phone which suits your needs :-)

  • Yes it is a dual Sim phone. And there is a separate SD card slot.

  • Yea. Gorilla glass 3. But I'd suggest we use tempered glass or screen guard as an extra protection. Gorilla glass in the phones under 10k only protects the screen from scratches and less intensity falls(less impact ones)

  • Got This Phone.. excellent performance and fast charging in 50mins battery full... camera good. biuld quality is impressive. and Sound is Amazing really this good phone by moto. if any looking only for camera dont go for this.

  • is mot g4 play really dual sim

  • What about the screen ? Does it have gorilla glass protection ?

  • By default there is no Notes app however it is very easy to install a 3rd party app from the play store e.g. Material Notes.

  • I wanna know about gps working and positioning of g4 play ....

  • I what to know about gos working and positionong

  • comparing to e3,moto g4 is nice?????????

  • What about the screen ? Does it have gorilla glass protection ?

  • Where does one store important data on this phone? In other phones we have memo

  • Does it support slow motion video recording? Cuz all the members of the moto family has it

  • I'd personally prefer the moto g4 play over e3 power because of the processor. My brother had bought the e3 power from flipkart and I had a chance to use it. It does heat up during calls. But not too much. My brother is a light user and uses the phone for chatting browsing and calls only. Battery lasted for more than one day on WiFi. The updates will roll out faster on the e3 power and the battery life is pretty good compared to the g4 play. But in the long run, for multitasking and for playing light games I feel g4 play is the best choice. Also,the battery life of g4 play is not so bad either. If you are a light user who wants to save some money and prefer the battery, then you can go for the e3 power as it is priced a bit lower than the g4 play. I won't recommend playing heavy games on these two phones because of the processors and the low clock speed when compared to the other phones in the same price range. Hope this helps you

  • Is it better than E3power ? E3 power has some problems ...

  • Battery(2800mah removable battery) lasts for more than a day on using WiFi or 3g network for me. Doesn't heat up a lot. Slight heating is there when I used 3g network for more than 3-4 hours(especially during IMO video calls, watching videos) and also during the charging. That's normal for every phone thses days and as for heating up during charging, it is turbo charging so it will heat up. My suggestion would be not to use the phone during charging. I am not a gamer but considering the fact that the processor used on the phone is a bit old, it won't perform smoothly with the heavy games. And the updates won't be available faster like the other moto phones(android N won't be available easily). Camera clarity is fine. Front cam is 5mp, not so great but okay for the selfies and as for the main camera 8mp is okay. Can't say it is great. But it is okay. If you are a camera lover, don't go for this one. Stock android as you know. So there won't be any unwanted apps which we need to uninstall. Build quality I'd not too great but it is not too bad either. Supports otg, sound quality is okay. No finger print technology. Articles in the box - moto earphones(average quality, better use some other branded earphones if you are a music lover), battery, the handset, turbo charger with the USB cable, the guide booklet. Also, this is a budget phone under 9k. We can't expect more at this price. Also, there's the moto e power on flipkart at a slightly lesser price (around 7-8k). It has a good but it uses a mediatek processor so it is your choice in the end. Whether you prefer the better snapdragon processor(even though it is a bit old) on the moto g4 play or the greater battery life of the moto e3 power. If you have any further questions, you can reply. I will surely reply. Hope this review helps you with your purchase. Regards, Moto g4 play user

  • it is available but again bad , ur video files dont show up in mx player u have to use it as an external device and play individual files (bad as asus was better in this dept) it shows all d files in mx player and also the usb drive as a storeage unit apart from phone and micro sd

  • Using this phone from last week. CPU: Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 64 bit. Though the cpu is quite old but still it is being widely used in many smartphones and has enough power to carry daily task efficiently. there are chances that this device soon will be upgraded to Android 7 Nougat. It also VoLTE which means reliance Jio sim is fully supported. O.S : It is Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow. It is stock android means no preloaded apps and bloatwares. No lag and gaming experience is also very smooth. Memory: Inbuilt memory is 16 gb(Usable is approx. 12 gb) and further expandable to 128 gb via micro sd card. But i didn't find any settings where inbuilt apps are being moved to sd card or default storage path can be selected as sd card. RAM: 2 GB more than enough for day to day task. Display: It is 5" IPS LCD display. The display quality is simply superb and it is crystal clear. Also there is glance screen but at very short period of time and you can see the messages on screen and clock even the screen is locked. Battery : Battery is 2800 mAh and it almost takes 2 hrs thanks for the 10w 2A rapid charger. Battery backup is really good even if you play heavy games or watch videos on youtube still gives one day battery backup. SIM slot : It is dual sim micro sim type and both sims supports 4G LTE. I placed my airtel 4G sim in both slots and 4G works perfectly. Also sd card is located above sim 1 slot and it is independent so there is no hybrid sim type. Also this phone also supports Full USB OTG. Call clarity is clear and there is no drop of signal or no network connectivity issues. Headphone experince is beastly but i suggest using 3rd party earphones such as Skullcandy OR JBL. Overall it is a budget android phone with clutter free android marshmallow which is fresh experience. This is my first moto smartphone and i am just enjoying it.

  • Hello my g4 plus heats up quickly while using 3g/4g data and gets screen on time about 5hrs and it will cool down quickly when not using Internet am I the only one facing this issue did this heat normal plz replay...

  • this, phone is awesome,,, built quality is good, front and rare camera is like rare is 13mp and front is 7 or 8. charging is very very fast... battery backup is good,,,, and display is very crisp and clear,,,, overall this phone was best,,, i love this phone and love Motorola

  • if u r doubting about heating problem , device get heated due to fast charging its normal because every fast charging phone gets heated .Use only the charger which is given by the company itself because its more compatible with this. Now a days fast charger is common its good because it charges phone within a hour time. Using of less watt charger takes ages of time to charge phone. ANd please dont talk while charging.

  • Current is measured in Ampere not in watts.Power is measured in watts.(power=voltage×current).so you got power i.e 25w.

  • The overheating is being caused by the fact while you have it on the charger you are using it. Disconnect from charging before use

  • all are diffrent slot for sim 1 sim to and one slot for sd card.....

  • Many quick charging devices face this issue. Don't use the charger given in the box. My sister is having a Moto G4 Plus and I checked the charger's current. It was 25 w. It was the reason for quick charging and phone heating. Use a low rated charger. My sis uses more than 2 chargers for phone. She never faced this issue. Try this and it might work. Cheers!

  • Very nice phone ,good battery backup , no heating problem , no log , average camera and overall is good ,,,,

  • Camera shows "camera busy" error all the time i try to open. I got the phone on 22nd sep. Done restarting, restoring,clearing data and cache and work in safe mode. Still same outcome. Does anybody face the same issue? Can anybody help with me with that?

  • I am using Moto G 4 play since last two weeks, facing battery heating problem, some time during long conversation or some time during charging. Is it happening with my handset only or any body encountering the same problem?

  • moto g4 play has dual sim slot or single sim slot???

  • Got the 16GB/2GB version and it works faster than my previous phone (LG K10), despite of having a weaker chipset, and it's cheaper. It supports fast charging and it doesn't heat up much while charging. Battery backup is also very good, the camera is average and not very suitable for low-light conditions due to it's narrow aperture. It gets warm while playing games (casual, not demanding) or updating several apps. It didn't crashed once. Moto Display is very useful and a worthy alternative to the notification LED. Very good audio quality but I found the speaker a bit quiet. I haven't experienced network issues so far. All in all, it's a fine budget phone and it's worth buying it (for the people who's considering to buy it of course).

  • It is OTG compatible....

  • There are total 3 slots......one for the SD card and two for the micro sim. The SD card slot is directly above sim 1 slot, and sim 2 slot is separate.

  • Does it supports 4g bands in india

  • No

  • does it have OTG support?? plzz tell

  • Can i use this phone in the uk and europe?

  • Yes, you can use but you cant get that standby time.

  • Is there same slot for sim2 and sd card or there is another dedicated slot for sd card?

  • Is there same slot for sim2 and sd card?

  • G4 play has GK40 battery, can we use moto e3 power GK50 battery in g4 play ?

  • Does this phone get heated very soon ?

  • bought this phone a few days back very nice, solid built, smooth operation (no lag), dual sim ( both 4G), overall a great budget phone, with all necessary features. i hope it gets android N update only function missing is LED notification

  • Thank You friend :')

  • You are tru that every device has pros n cons......first...Moto does not said about protection like gorilla or dragon trail glass.......it doesn't have a FP scanner but you are getting a reliable brand motorola unlike xiaomi.....go for it....it will serve you good

  • yes dual sim

  • Does Moto G4 play US Version has removable battery?

  • the USA version moto g4 play that came out two days ago is not dual sim

  • dual sim

  • Man, this is not official list. Had you noticed a word 'possibly' in the article that link you provided? In the beginning of the article they clearly wrote that no update will be available for those chips which don't have Vulkan drivers. Then check how it looks for Snapdragon 410 which is used in Moto G4 Play. It has Adreno 306 GPU and entire Adreno 300 series is not supported.

  • To those who say moto g4 play wont get android 7 update.....refer link: It clearly says all moto devices would get update of android 7 AND THAT INCLUDES MOTO G4 PLAY (read the list carefully)

  • this device is good but the big problem is this that gorilla glass protection is not avilable ,,,,,,, this is is a big problem ..... if company selling this this device in 8999 rs so its need to protect wioth gorilla glass.............

  • I've been looking out for a device under 10K. Actually i'm quite impressed. but every device has PROS & CONS. can you please say if there are any CONS. and is it worth buying ? :') Thank You.

  • How to working nfc

  • yes... out of box

  • yes this is volte..... who said this is not a volte phone.......?. i am using volte with jio sim ok....... dont give any wrong information ,, this device is a nice device in this price,, camera quality is very fine look likes as 16 mp camera,,slim device,,, battery backup with battery saver mode...

  • yes.....

  • I wouldn't be so sure about that. Moto G4 Play is built on Snapdragon 410 (same as Moto E LTE 2gen) and its GPU is on Vulkan's blacklist. That mean G4 Play won't get update to Android 7.0 Nougat. Just check by yourself: entire Adreno 300 series is unsupported!

  • Is it VoLTE enabled ?

  • yes... out of box

  • Is it a volte set

  • Specs say NFC -- "Yes (optional)". How does that work? As far as I've seen, there's no indication anywhere that I can find that the Moto G4 Play has the option of NFC. Moreover, why would the bottom rung of the Moto G family for this generation have it, but the higher tier ones not?

  • dual sim 1 simple sim above it memory card slot and 2nd sim micro or nano

  • any problam faceing in this fhon

  • r u syor about this

  • Definitely not J2

  • 1)stock android 2)good performence: a)camera(sufficient light) b)battery c)processor and ram 3)cheap phone with nice spec should buy it

  • will it be updated to android N

  • For casual games this phone is far better. But in terms of battery backup i would recommend Asus zenfone 2 laser. And has got a better camera too.

  • for casual gaming and more Internet using and for getting one day battery backup is this phone useful.

  • I want a phone which can be used for casual gaming not heavy gaming. For more Internet using like fb WhatsApp.... and need a battery that should not be charged twice a day. is this phone good for me to buy.

  • That is your network provider's problem.. not Motorola's

  • It is dual sim I think

  • I think Moto g4 play perfect for u

  • it is good phone

  • I checked my friends moto g2 it has only 8 GB of internal storage and right now at the market this variant is not available they have 16 GB internal variant that is also almost out of stock they had released it in two variant.

  • Yes it supports casting

  • There is no Moto G 2 with 8 GB internal storage.Moto G 2 came with 1 GB RAM and 16 GB internal storage and was loaded with all the sensors.

  • Yes

  • R u sure?

  • Does it support screen mirroring or cast screen

  • give me reason to buy this phone

  • No, it does not. Most of Motorola's devices are just very lightly skinned. You're right in saying its gaming performance is not the best, though.

  • "play" in moto G4 play means it use pure stock android as in "google play edition smartphone". Its not best for gaming purpose.

  • this phone is not water proof.this phone is water repellent.water repellent means little rain or little water proof

  • Yes. Moto g4 Play has Gorilla Glass

  • hi the main difference is that moto g2 has 8 Gb of internal storage and 1 Gb of ram where as moto g4 play has 16 GB of internal storage and 2 gb of ram so performan wise g4 play is better than g2

  • Id this mobile support. Otg

  • I like Motorola models of mobile phone. I have purchased Motorola g4 play model 2 days back. But I found that there is problem in receiving calls, caller is told the phone is switched off or out of coverage area. Please guide

  • by the design not good

  • is it good looking phone?

  • This phone is waterproof or not...

  • the phone can get bright enough and has an ambient light sensor

  • the American variant may not have to sim slots, but that is yet to be seen. The Indian variant, does have 2 sim slots

  • From what I have seen of the phone, it has an ambient light sensor and can get bright enough.

  • The Moto g4 Play supports upto 4g lte

  • Plz any user tell me how much screen on time it gives when using with mobile data is on of 3g or 4g ? How is battery backup ?

  • It has adaptive brightness. Pretty good display and legible even in bright sunlight 👍

  • Can I use both sim cards and sd card at a time

  • Yes 3slots 2 sim and 1 micro sd

  • yes.....

  • Why bro

  • Im thinking of getting moto g4 play. Can someone please inform me of how the brightness does in sunny weather. I'm coming from a phone that gets bright and can't find any info about that.

  • Camera clarity of moto g4 play

  • depends on the model. xt1607 is micro sim only. xt1601 is dual sim/nano. I dont know about the other model #s sorry.

  • Good phone but make sure you ask which model it is. I have a xt1601 which isnt micro sim it is a nano 16gb model.

  • Slim ?

  • does it have seperate slots for 2 sim cards and a microsd card..?

  • Awesome camera qulatity.. it's 8 mp camera is far better than 13 mp camera of redmi.. it's lense is of superb quality.

  • Yes.. obviously yes ! Best phone in this price.

  • how about the Camera clarity.? does the Cam captures good?

  • it supports dual sim in india

  • yes it have 3 separate slots.. sim1+sim2+memorycart like two sim+microsd

  • what is a 4g phone

  • M having moto G first generation.. i was planning to change it with G4 play ...bt now i think G1 is best thn G4 play

  • It supports dual sim. Doesn't it ?

  • No

  • it comes with gorrila glass phone

  • can i use dual sim card in thish fhon

  • Yes

  • this phone support otg yes or no

  • Some say it's single sim and some say its dual sim ! What exactly is it !!!

  • Does it comes with gorilla glass

  • M having moto G first generation.. i was planning to change it with G4 play ...bt now i think G1 is best thn G4 play

  • It actually looks worse than a Moto G 3rd gen. 13 MP --> 8 MP Lost water resistance. GSMArena shows it doesn't have shatter resistant glass (though they did the same with the S5 Neo and it has it). Did Motorola design a new phone that's strictly worse than the one it replaces? I suppose it has a fingerprint scanner so it's not strictly worse...

  • single sim only

  • Ues its a dual sim

  • is it dual sim or not

  • Can i use this phone in the uk and europe?

  • is dual sim or single sim

  • Does the phone have OTG support?

  • Otg supported?? Is this phone hv infrared sensor & gyroscope?

  • Nice device

  • Is it dual sim? I can see it has dedicated memory card slot.

  • yes

  • Can i use Reliance Jio Sim card with this phone !

  • Is it comes with 2 variants? 16/8gb??

  • No compass..

  • It's not just about the specs.. This is pure android so you won't have any bloatwares unlike redmi or coolpad(better ram utilization plus you hardly notice any difference while using 410 or 415 chipset) . Also quality is way better than other phones you have mentioned. I don't know if the quality has decreased after lenovo acquired moto but it's a decent phone for 8499Rs.

  • Yes it does.. Check amazon.in moto g4 play page . Specifically says it's 4g VOLTE

  • its just for data transfer and its faster than bluetooth

  • how is moto g4 play phone performance ??

  • is it works composs app

  • Does the phone have Gorilla Glass?

  • What does "NFC Yes (optional)" mean? There is no NFC in the specs on any other website. Even Motorola's website does not mention NFC.

  • That's incorrect. SD 410 will receive the Nougat upgrade. It's the SD 800 and 801 that will be left out. Read more here:

  • Snapdragon 410 is no more supported by Qualcomm, hence no Android Nougat :-( Don't every purchase this phone unless you want to stay forever with Marshmellow. Check this out: SD: 400->415->430->435

  • its dual sim or not

  • Otg supported? VoLTE supported?

  • Absolutely true..

  • *dnt gonna

  • It gonna work ,till there are phn as redimi 3S in the market

  • No volte

  • Looks like an another Moto g3..

  • you are right bro.

  • i request Lenova that plz dont spoil the name of MOTO.. plzzzzzz

  • lenovo will destroy moto, the quality and design launching Lenovo Moto is very poor, and will destroy image of moto. why acquired moto if lenovo is not capable to handle quality and brand image.

  • It supports VoLTE ?

  • not a good phone poor processor and camera sucks

  • Seeking for updated price ! Please

  • 16Gb model avaible on amazon, is very cheap and I can say is better for value then galaxy j5 2016.

  • niz phone

  • I can't seem to find a 16 GB 2gb anywhere

  • Not available in my country

  • Canada is a good answer

  • That's why nexus 5 didn't receive it

  • Do not buy it! Qualcomm won't update the drivers of this phone's SoC so it won't get Nougat!

  • There is a 1 GB RAM / 8 GB storage version and a 2 / 16 GB one.

  • Is it 2gb or 1gb of ram? Every store in the UK and this website is saying 2gb but everyone in the comments is saying 1gb???

  • If Motorola want to sell this phone in India ... it shouldn't be priced more than 7000/-
