Well I am a very techy kind of person and before buying any gadgets I'll make sure that the product I have chosen is best among all. So after going with so many phones I consider this one very best and suitable for me.
Here are some Pros and cons according to me after using it for a month.
PROS:
-> MICRO SIM CARD - While Nano Sims are gradually being the standard SIM size and are the size for newer phones, I still like this size.
->Size, Weight, and Comfort of the Phone.This 5 inch screen, weight of the phone, comfort while holding this phone are some major reasons why I bought this phone. And because the G4 Play is a lighter weight phone and not bulky, I am love this!
This phone fits my hand perfectly and comfortable to hold.
->Memory/Storage has 16GB Internal however after OS and factory apps 10.6 GB left. External card slot can handle up to 256GB.
There is no bloatware.pure Android experience.About twenty one essential factory Installed apps including Phone and Help. Most of the apps are Android / Google Apps. Only about six Motorola apps which includes the Camera, File Manager, FM Radio, Phone, Settings and Calc. Motorola allows Android and Google to supply just the Apps you need, however, later on you can install Apps you like as there is plenty of room left.
->Memory & Storage Size & Speed . The Internal Memory and RAM are adequate and I find the phone runs plenty fast and for me, no lagging, never freezes. A very peppy phone in my opinion.
->Camera.It is just 8MP however, I took inside and outside pictures and they came out very clear in my opinion. This is much to my happy surprise.
->Screen Resolution/Special Screen Information - For me personally, I find the resolution ( at 294 PPI - Pixels Per Inch) excellent as the colors in the screen are very bright and vivid and very clear! In fact, webpages and my Kindle Reading app are just stunning on this phone! * All of my pictures and videos are crystal clear with this phone.
->Temperature of the battery and coolness of this phone - This phone and battery runs very cool with the Snapdragon 410 processor ( the 600 & higher Snapdragon processors on other devices can run hot) . With this phone's 410 cool processor the normal temp and most of the time it is running at 78 F degrees to 87 F degrees. When I download lots of apps or play games, it may get up to 90 degrees for a couple of minutes but goes right down to normal temps. I have run many programs on this phone and it DOES NOT OVERHEAT. I have read that some newer smart phones will sometimes get up as high as 112 degrees, this one for me has not done this.
It is important to keep a phone running cooler as it will prolong the life of the phone and it is easier on the battery as well.
->Phone call Clarity/Loudness etc. - Loud enough speaker and sound is very clear, best phone I used.No matter what my location using this phone for phone calls the clarity of calls is loud and clear whether on the phone's speaker, headset or speaker.
The front speaker on this phone is plenty loud.better than my Samsung J7 was!
->BATTERY LIFE: This phone has given me the very good battery life. And I use 100% brightness. For me, even at 100 brightness, if I use WiFi or Data just when I need it and then turn it off, I get close to all day into the night on one single charge! ( I charge nightly and the phone is at 100% ready to go the next morning) . Also to save battery, I turn off WiFi or Data and tap the ON OFF button ( put to sleep) . This way, I use my phone into the night on a single charge.
CONS:
- Just a couple of minor Cons I found.The phone I received did not come with a headset.no problem as I already have a headset that works on this phone. ( I prefer a Bluetooth headset because the sound quality us so much better) . Amazon offers many plug in or Bluetooth headsets ar low prices.
Also, the charger that came with the phone is a slower charger, however, I have a 2 amp charger that I use and it charges this phone quickly.
Bottom line: Would I buy this phone all over again? Yes in a heartbeat as the size is perfect for me. And for the money, I believe this is the best deal out there dollar for dollar. Will this phone be a good choice for you? Yes, for two reasons.:
1) Yes if you want a very easy to use phone.
2) Yes if you have small hands and small fingers as the keyboard is small.
If you have large hands and large fingers, this phone may be too small for you.so you should then consider a 5.5 inch or higher screen phone.
- This phone I recommend to a person wants a smaller, comfortable to hold phone and also a very easy to use phone. * Personally, I love this phone because it is fits my hands perfectly, easy to use, fun to use and it is a beautiful phone!
