Lenovo-owned company Motorola has announced a new G Play called Moto G Play (2021). It was announced alongside the new G Power and G Stylus. It also comes with a 5000mAh battery and a 6.5-inch display.
The new Moto G Play (2021) is built around a 6.5-inch IPS LCD with 720p resolution, runs Android 10, running on a Snapdragon 460 chipset with 3GB of RAM and 32GB storage (plus a microSD slot).
This one also gets a 5,000 mAh battery promising 3 days of use between charges (it charges over USB-C at 10W). All three G-series phones have 3.5 mm jacks and they all lack NFC.
The camera department features a 13MP main camera (1080p/60fps video), a 2MP depth sensor and a 5MP selfie camera. The selfie cam is in a notch instead of a punch hole as the other three, underlining that this is the budget option.
