Terrific new phone. I have used many phones, many Android devices, and many Motorolas - this one is the best so far. *** The single most important performance upgrade to a phone is RAM *** My most previous phone was a Motorola Moto E4, a nice, simple budget phone. But the 2GBs of RAM is terribly constraining in 2019. For simple, single use, and only one or two apps running at a time, 2GB is fine. But the moment you begin using any phone with multi-tasking, 2GB RAM simply falls on its face. In the Moto E4, it would simply overheat, stumble and slow down. I drive a car with Android Auto - the combination of the Android Auto app, Waze, GPS, music and phone calls was simply too much for 2GB RAM, and the phone would regularly freeze or simply reset. Yuk.
Enter this Moto G6 Play. Screen is 5.7" diagonal, but most importantly, 18:9 dimensions, so it's just as wide as the E4, but significantly more real estate for maps, words, and best of all, for modern 2.4:1 widescreen movies. The screen is only 720p but don't be fooled - after a few minutes you'll never notice the loss of resolution, and 720p only lights up a quarter of the pixels of 1080p, a significant power savings.
Oh and re: power? This battery is 4000mah combined with the low power screen and a quad core CPU - it will last 3 days of light use, 2 days of regular use, and 1 full day of INSANE use (you know who you are). Really remarkable. But the key is the 3GB RAM in this phone - it simply doesn't stumble or balk or hesitate under most loads. The only thing which will cause it to tremble is heavy gaming, so I wouldn't recommend that - but light gaming works fine (low graphics setting).
It also runs Android 8, a nice, solid, last-gen OS, with most of the bugs worked out.
Easy in the hand, great screen, clear speaker, smooth operator under most loads - heck, it even comes with a "turbo" high amp charger, really a useful tool. My experience is that Motorola phones last a long time. And for the cost of an iPhone X you can get SIX of these! It even works on all carriers - even Sprint (my carrier).
The dirty little secret is this guy is really all most folks need. Highly recommended.

A Good Phone for when you're transitioning!
I got this to replace my Galaxy S5, which could no longer keep up with modern apps or demanding mobile games. At a fair price of $200 bucks, it's not a bad deal, you get a USB C Cable, and a Motorola Turbo charger, which accelerates your time charging. The phone comes with a pre-built & pre-installed QR Code Scanner in the camera app, which takes very high quality pictures! With 3GB RAM it can handle heavy loads of processing, so games will run pretty fast. There is also a Dolby Digital Sound Program built in, which will make your audio quality go to very good surround sound levels, regardless of using Speaker, Headphones (this phone has a headphone jack!), or Bluetooth.A unique feature of this phone is the ability to have your microSD Card become the new core storage for the phone, which means this phone could potentially go up 512 GB. How that is done is that your phone will format the card, however, it won't be readable to other machines by simply taking it out, you will only be able to access it via USB Cable while it's connected to the phone.Downsides to this phone? The only prominent downside is the fact there is no MIRACAST compatibility, but it's not Motorola's fault, but Google's. However, Motorola comes to the rescue, by allowing you to unlock the Bootloader, allowing you to root the phone, where you can enable the MIRACAST, but it comes with the sacrifice of the warranty and the learning curve of rooting a phone flawlessly.The only other downsides I can note is that after a few system updates Bluetooth becomes a bit wonky at times and sometimes will drain faster if you leave apps open. Another, but crucial thing that all Moto G Series phones lack is NFC.Overall, I would say if you're looking an in-transition phone, below $300, without a huge need of NFC, pick this one up!
