WHY YOU SHOULD BUY
Quick Charging: The handset comes with a decent pack of battery, which might leave users frusturated if used heavily. However, Motorola has been considerate enough to equip the device with Quick Charging to facilitate faster charging.
Water-repellent: One of the highlights of Moto G Devices is that they are water-repellent to a large extent. The Moto G4 Play would come with the same nano coating on its body that would add to the water-repellent capacity of the handset.
Display Flash: Motorola has made sure that the handset comes with a decent 5 Megapixels snapper on the front for selfie lovers. The brand also made up for the lack of front flash with a display flash that should come in handy during low light selfie session.
WHY YOU SHOULD NOT BUY
No Fingerprint Scanner: Since this handset is anaffordable variant of the Moto G4 Plus, Motorola took some liberty to cut down on its features. One of the feature that Motorola decided to get rid of was the fingerprint scanner, which was a big mistake when most smartphones in this price come with fingerprint scanner.
Any Alternative?
Xiaomi Redmi 3S Prime: Look no further than Xiaomi Redmi 3S Prime if you are looking for an alternative to Motorola Moto G4 Play. It comes with metal build, fast fingerprint scanner, 3 GB RAM, 32 GB internal storage and a powerful processor.

WHY YOU SHOULD BUY
- Very simple and sleek design. (added pictures)
- Dolby atmos makes it one of the best sound smartphones in the market. Really loud and clear.
- Overall good built quality.
- Fast and accurate fingerprint scanner.
- Stunning 13.97cm (5.5") full HD 1920 x 1080 pixels IPS screen. (Bigger the display more the productivity.)
- Radio & NFC.
- 4G, Dual sim and MircoSD slot(up to 128GB).
- Bundled with 2Amp fast charger, transparent back cover & screen protector.
- Fast 3GB DDR3 RAM with 16GB Flash memory. (Faster the memory, lesser the loading and launching time of the apps)
- 13MP camera with Dual LED Flash.
- Matte type finish on the back makes a good grip on the phone.
- An excellent output from the 3.5mm jack, all you need is a good app like poweramp and pair of earphone. I tested it with XB70AP.
- Big 3300 mAh high-capacity battery.
WHY YOU SHOULD NOT BUY
- So many unnecessary apps but can be removed by a normal user.
- I'm not a big fan of Mediatek processors but these days to cut the cost of devices companies have no choice left.
- No good protection(O-ring or boundary) around the camera lens.
Lenovo Vibe K4 Note will not disappoint you when it comes to built quality and the sound. Normal mobile users and music lovers without any second thought go for it.

WHY YOU SHOULD BUY
- Back is all metal. This is the first thing that you would notice when you hold the phone. Amazing feel.
- Its thin. Don't expect it to be thin as expensive phones, but I can totally compare it to them.
- The screen is huge and reproduces good colors. Watching Videos is fun on a 5.5 inch screen.
- Thin bezels. Bezel is the gap between the phone side and the screen. Though is does not matter much, but thin bezels means smaller phone width, which makes it easy to hold.
- The finger print scanner is a snap. It fast and has very less lag when we unlock the phone.
- A Huge 4060mah battery is worth a mention. Gives a 1 1/2 day backup, with heavy calls, whatsapp, browsing, with some photo clicks.
- The processor is snapdragon 650. In desi terms it is very fast can take any app that you throw on it. I tested opting 20 apps, and switching between them was fast. (RAM size does matter)
- Adding a 3GB RAM to the processor, makes it unbeatable and best in its category
- The daylight camera pics are great.
- This point does not matter much, but this phone is MADE IN INDIA.
WHY YOU SHOULD NOT BUY
- The phone heats up when used for long time ( continuous use for an hour or so). The time to heat reduces as you start up with the games. This is common these days in all the phones, but Mi has done good job in keeping the heat at a level where the phone is usable.
- The night photo is not the best, and has kind of blur effect. But I don't complain as the phones in higher price band as well face the same issue. Additionally, we cannot expect the Camera performance same as that of expensive phones for this price.
- No Earphones. In India we are used to getting earphones free with the mobiles, but Note 3 does not have one. I guess they are trying to reduce cost by not including one in the box.
- MIUI (Software UI that phone comes by default) takes a lot of RAM. Though it is good in looks and usage, but has a high memory consumption. Tts better to opt for 3GB model then the 2GB one.
No company gives you a metal body, with huge 5.5 Full HD screen, humongous 4050mah battery, fingerprint scanner and 3GB RAM in this price.

WHY YOU SHOULD BUY
- As i said, battery! If you have this phone with u, don't worry about backup at all. Even if phone is at 40% it will take one hour heavy usage to bring it to 30%. Heavy usage as if, playing high end games like modern combat 5, watching online videos, downloading apps from playstore etc.
- Phone chipset is good enough to do good level of multitasking and gaming..i ve been playing modern combat 5, asphalt etc. All these games runs without any lag in optimum graphics
- OTG support, it reads otg very fast.
- No heating issue at all.
- Superior build quality.
- Front camera you can take amazing selfies with this phone. Even can take slow motion videos using front cam.
WHY YOU SHOULD NOT BUY
- Zen UI installs lots of unwanted apps when u connect to internet for first time but u can unistall them and free ur ram later.
- Rear camera is pretty decent not great in terms of colors.
Speaker sound is good, and phone is little bit bulky because of 5000mah battery inside..but personally i prefer battery backup like this beast can offer over the weight of phone.

WHY YOU SHOULD BUY
- Battery life: My phone is using wifi 90% of the times and I'm a big media consumer (YouTube, Music, Movies, etc.), still once fully charged it is good to go for a day with around 15% battery remaining.
- Camera: Man! The camera on this phone is a beast. Both indoor and outdoor performance are at par with other handsets in the price range and also better than many phones that cost a lot more than it.
- Quick charging: It takes roughly around 1 hour 45 minutes for the phone to charge completely. Quick charging is supported till 75% and is very very fast.
- RAM Management: It is pretty decent and ensures that you don't face any lag whatsoever.
- Sound: I won't say the speakers are the best that I've come across, but considering the price range they are pretty decent and gets the job done.
- Call Quality: The phone uses the speaker as the earpiece and thereby the call quality is crystal clear on this device. One of the best that I've come across till date.
WHY YOU SHOULD NOT BUY
Disclaimer: It is only if you're a heavy camera user with each usage session ranging over 20 minutes (continuous use over 20 minutes) that you should worry about the cons written below.
- The device gets hot if the camera is used over 20 minutes continuously.
- There have been reports of heating with extended gaming sessions but I didn't face any such problem and was able to play without any issues for over 30 minutes continuously (Moto rolled out an upgrade that resolved the issue, I guess).
If you're a light user looking for a phone to cater to your needs of high media consumption, awesome quality camera, good battery life and a premium-looking build, go for it blindly.
