- Nobody tell Motorola things are supposed to be more expensive... Build your credit this new year. Go to www.chime.com/jerryrig. Thanks to Chime for sponsoring the show! We test a lot of thousand dollar smartphone flagships. But today we move to the opposite end of the spectrum and test a budget $149 dollar smartphone. This little android phone has a single camera on the back and appears to be entirely made form plastic. BUT has a 1tb SD Card slot - which is rather incredible. A full size 6.5 inch 90hz refresh rate screen all while only costing 149 bucks?! The 2024 Motorola G Play: amzn.to/49vZscC

150$ entry-level phone: headphone jack, expandable storage, charger included.
Meanwhile, 1500$ flagships... 💀
apple bout to stop giving you a cable because "you probably have an ipad" and they will market it as environmentally friendly
Also it comes with clean Android UI like the pixels! Way better than the bloatware of samsung and other android makers. Pure android is king.
This phone sucks, Motorola gives their users almost no security and OS updates, makes their phones useless and with no reselling potential
@@vitorfragosodiniz7553 OS updates bricked two of my flagship samsung phones in a year, no reselling potential on paperweights either when the parent company offers customer support in the form of a huge middle finger.
@@vitorfragosodiniz7553I'm not reselling a 3 year old phone I bought for $150. I'd rather do a teardown like this, or put it to use as a permanent music player somewhere at EOL. Who cares.
The fact that a $149 phone has 90Hz but two particular $800/$900 flagships still have 60Hz
Shhhh don't make the apple fan boys cry
Honestly, the only iPhones that are actually worth the cost are the 15 pro and pro max. If you want anything cheaper, you should just buy an Android at this point. The fact that Apple is selling the 15 plus for the price that they are is almost laughable.
@@kingcactus4656tbh i dont know why anyone considers 60hz a dealbreaker and why having high refresh rates on a phone is even required, like what are you doing on it lol, plus people usually dont buy iPhones cuz of the specs, for example, i use an iPhone because all of my family members do and the integration is so nice, being able to facetime, airdrop, all those other things are things we use everyday and they legitimately just make life easier, and i know there are alternatives to those things on android but they just arent the same, and i can always rest assured that since iPhones are so locked down, there is literally nothing that they can do that will cause them massive issues or anything that i will end up having to solve.
(Also we arent the kind of dumbasses who upgrade every year all of use use our money phones until we cant anymore, heck my dad still uses an iphone 8 since it still just works😅)
By the way iphone 16 and 16 Plus are rumored to have 60Hz screens.... Yeah.... Thanks apple.
@@kingcactus4656 yeah. iPhones never were worth the cost. however people buy them for the software integration and polish. and for the brand, of course. mostly the brand.
1:32 "back in 2015"...

At "back in 2015" i was like, "that was a couple of years ago"
And them he drops "almost a decade ago" man, that hit different.

The 2020 effect is real. During Covid Lockdown, time seemed to stop for many of us. Because we stayed up to date with the news, media, and virus. We were locked in our homes for awhile, so it will eventually take a toll. I still have a hard time thinking 2018 was 6 years ago. But I'm getting too descriptive, but yeah it's crazy...

The hell 👀 how
Who wants vegan leather? 😂 For that price Moto should add a phone cover or something....
@@NaveenjotronIndians.
@@bawbsmith what's with the "Indians" ?
probably comes with more paid bloat though.
Motorola is criminally underrated. I've been using the Edge 30 pro for almost a year and a half now, not a single issue with it. I'm not really a camera person, but even when I use it to record upto 8K video it has never failed me. I have been recommending motorola's in my family for everyone that wants a mid-range device. No bloatware, near stock android with their own actual useful goodies built-in.
I have Edge 30 neo. Its good for the price. (Yes i changed from iphone 14 pro). I am mechanic Edge 30 handle drops better than my iphone.
Because its not fashionable as such, so doesn't reach the masses, but as a Samsung user, my S23 ultra will be my last from Samsung, the reason being, each phone as reached the point where even this £140 Motorola will give the average user a phone that delivers the basics. So next year, when my contract is up with my provider, I will consider looking at other brands such as Motorola, One Plus, or Honor. For £450 maybe £500 max, which is roughly what I can sell my s23 ultra for at that point on the used market and get a perfectly useable phone from one of these companies.
I'm still using my Moto Z2 Force from 2018. It's got a few dings and the battery doesn't last a whole day of moderate use (compared to 3 days beck when it was new), but it's still rocking like a champ.
My phone before this was a Moto as well. And I'll probably stick with them after this one.
@@RevDrTarr I still use my Z2 force as well. I have never had anything other than Motorola phones. I have watched so many friends break their screens or otherwise trash their phones with simple drops. Whereas my Motorolas have withstood some pretty rough abuse. My last one was the Milestone and before that I had the old flip phones. (Which didn't survive my version of a bend test 🤫)
Why would you ever record anything above 1080p on a phone? We consume media 99.9% at 1080p... anything above that is just a bad decision unless you have a specific reason like cropping in post which i don't really see as a reason for smartphone recordings
7:38 " financially intelligent" best phrase

if a 100$ phone does everything a 1000$ phone can why would you get a 1000$ phone it's just sensible to not waste your money lmao
me and my samsung j5 2016 will gladly take that compliment
@@Joanyan 1 k phone is less laggy has way better camera and better screen. Sometimes you have additional features like s-pen.
I look at it in another way, this is a device that is basically you, your identity online and you use it everyday so it is something worth investing .
Even things like less eye strain from better screen makes it worth it to me when I have to use it so often.
@@Joanyani mean, it doesnt do everything, but it does everything most people need so
"a headphone jack"
Smashes left arrow key to hear that again... Seriously, wow. Nice job Motorola.
like 90% of phones that arent flagships have headphone jacks
Yeah, just upgraded and I miss the headphones jack. I have these nice headphones but none of my devices use them anymore 😭
I got the previous version of this phone for my youngest daughter and it's a trooper. Eventually she dropped the phone and the screen broke. I found the replacement part for $15 at Aliexpress and replaced the screen myself following the same steps shown here albeit in a little less destructive fashion. The phone still works. Well done, Motorola.
When times were tough I bought a cheap Moto G4 just to keep me connected. I ended up loving it and returning to Motorola for years. Cheap phones just keep getting better
I had that phone for 3 years while I was a student and I also loved it. It survived so much abuse lol
the power models were a game changer 3+ days on battery, fucking fantastic and makes everything last longer too. less ware on battery and ports.
I'm watching this on my clapped out g4 that has served me well for 6 years, surviving the life of a mobile diesel mechanic. After seeing this I will 100% go back for another one 😁
I had the g3 and that thing was awesome, it was really amazing for the price. It was also my first smart phone lol, before the g3 I had a shitty tablet which was okayish aswell and Nokia phones
I had a moto G4 for almost 7 years
My first own smartphone and my most loved smartphone
It successfully handled so much rough use without any issues.
It's still working solid, the only issue is battery only lasts for 6-8 hours
I hope moto goes well🎉
For that I quote MKBHD "Cheap phones are getting good, and good phones are.." ignore the second part. For a phone that costs as much as a pair of airpods, I would say it handles itself quite well. Thumbs up Moto!
A plastic phone is cheap yet durable. That's why it survived
@@gastontwo yup! much better than any glass phone.
@@aquaponieee shall we test scratch resistance ?
@@DragonOfTheMortalKombat does that really matter that much? is it better to have some scratches or a cracked back? if you're that afraid of scratches, why not just use a case, considering that glass also is prone to scratches even if slightly less
@@DragonOfTheMortalKombatat least you can use plastic back phones without a damn case
1:13 Funny how a $149 phone has scratches at a level 6 while the $3,500 Vision Pro scratches at level 3 😂
This is like saying “haha, the screen on my 30,000$ suv is so crap compared to my 150$ phone hahaha”

Glad to finally see you start doing a budget phone. Flagships and only the high end mid-rangers ever got any attention
Fyi 150 and 250 dollar phones have a noticeable less quality than a 350 dollae phone so if you get the 350 dollar samsung itll be smoother in its operations and not freezy and to me, worth the 200 more bucks

@@anon2414the way you call that budget Android phone piece of turd kinda represents those iPhone sheeps your talking about, being gratefull is such a beautiful thing to have yet so much people dont have it unfortunately.
@@anon2414 The commenter was clearly talking about durability test performance not SoC benchmark performance.
@@anon2414 > Apple makes the best chip.
So what, it's a phone not a workstation. I'm still on and iPhone 7 and it's performant enough for anything I need to do on a phone, only reason I'm planning on ditching it is because it's headed for OS EOL and the battery is worn. If I want to play games I have a computer and a Steam Deck. Only feature I get anything out of being more modern on a phone is a camera that has lower noise and better low-light performance.
When are we going to get an update on the casetify lawsuit?👀

I think that's how lawsuits work. You ain't supposed to know
What is the casetify lawsuit about?
@@Wulfieman casetify was blatantly stealing dbrand's (and jerry's) case designs, changing some stuff up a tiny bit, but still leaving easter eggs that were on the original dbrand designs

Begging..
I'm happy you covered this phone :) flagships are not everything... It's wonderful to see that cheaper phones also have quality!
I had a $150 motorola smartphone for 5 years and last time I checked it still works fine. This was the phone that lasted me the most.
Gone back to Motorola phones in the last 5-6 years.
Been loving their quality, functionality, and resilience for the price.
Excellent phones in my opinion.
Watching on a Motorola...that notification chime at the end had me pulling down the notification shade looking for something!
Same
I wish they'd made that back panel removable to allow for battery swaps! Seems like the design would have been really good for it
I've used Moto phones for a couple generations now. I don't need flagship power. The batteries are huge, they work decently well, and they have, at least in our experience, lasted well.
I bought one for my mum, seems to do the job. 8GB RAM, 256GB storage, good battery life, silicon case, included a charger, decent everything. I like Motorolas. Putting a wireless charger on it, mum doesn't like messing around with cables. Probably the one thing missing out of the box.
@ 3:22 its fully restore display after burn ! also pass the greate bend test ! tish is call RND. 👍
Witchcraft!
Interesting. In Canada, the suggested MSRP on the new Samsung S24 Ultra is just shy of $2K Cdn, which is outrageous. So, less expensive cellphone options are welcomed.
It's a lot for sure. I upgraded to it from my S22 Ultra simply because I got an extremely good deal -- my carrier was giving $1,000 credit to trade in my phone, I also got extra additional Samsung credit, and on top of that I was also able to get 12% cashback. Otherwise, I wouldn't have.
I bought an S20 on marketplace for $150 lol @@flybriur
No phone should ever cost $2000+. What is wrong with Samsung? That's the cost of a high-end PC.
@elons876 shows you how Justin Trudeau's party screwed our Canadian economy. 2000 CAD is like 1500 USD, in USD Samsung typically sells 1500 USD for their flagships pretty much same with Apple.
@elons876 2k canadian $ is not the same as 2k USD. Also Samsung offers loads of exchange offers for its phones AND the prices ALWAYS drop after a few months (unlike a certain brand that begins with an A and ends with an E). What's more Samsung has a wide range of budget phones to choose from.......
I have a Moto G Pure 2021 with Android 12, I love this phone so much, I love the option of multi-volume control, you can listen music and a video at the same time and control the volume of each separately, I will always buy Motorola for that and as long as they keep the audio jack 3.5mm.
Love the combo videos - durability and tear downs all in one! Thank you!
I remember my days in highschool when the Moto G 2013 came out, what a beast for its time. The low to mid range smartphones from that era were so bad and this Moto G was solid. Now it's safe to say that low to mid range smartphones have improved a lot and are more than usable
I've only ever had Moto smartphones, the OG Droid, Droid X2, Moto X, X4, and a G power. I've always been pretty happy with them for the money, I recently spent a little more for a Pixel 6a, it's nice to have a snappy phone for once, my cheap Motos have never been very fast. And the Pixel camera is light years ahead of the Motos.
The last phones I owned which were in midrange territory was the Moto Z Play and Z2 Play. Usually had the style shell with wireless charging on them or the battery mod that also had such and thing was a literal 3 day phone for me with even medium to heavy use.
After I broker my Nexus 5 screen for two times in a row, I cannot afford any new screen so I sold the motherboard and bought a Moto G.
Camera apart, I loved that phone and had a great screen, great battery life and was snappy almost all the time. Such a beast, I've got friends that still thanks me for suggesting Motorola.
The first moto G came out when Moto was owned by Google. Don't compare that with the Lenovo owned Moto of today, today's motorolas have declined in quality and don't get any SW updates, they're way inferior compared to the motorola back in the day
@@goldrushjkghkinda, it's just the classic Chinese Market Strategy to do More to make profit. Lenovo with Motorola has been doing some actually real quality phones... Between the 10 versions from the same gen lmao. Just try to find the real good one.
7:56 This easter ad while thanking the sponsor. Holy perfect outro segue! 😂 10/10 No notes. Enjoy your work, please keep it up!
5:30 damn you didn’t need to do them like that
OK I've recently moved over from a lifelong (I'm 35) apple guy, to the Samsung fold 5 and I'm never ever touching an apple product ever again. But damn, I got to say this phone is cheap as chips, and if that camera is actually as good as it claims , its camera is as good as myn £1800 samsung lol and its surprisingly durable you have to agee. Really pleasant to see that
Motorola (Lenovo) cameras are average unless you get the expensive ones. I own one more expensive than this.
@@mediocreman2 true, even if they use the same sensor/hardware, they don't spend as much time refining the software.
It's good enough though. I use the flick motion flashlight more than I use the camera.
Edit #2: Spoiler alert! Don't read on! You've been warned.

Great too see Zack that you're covering a Motorola phone I'm also on a Motorola (G60) it has 120hz screen and great battery life and it's perfect for anyone who wants a stock Android+great battery life+decent camera quality+ great display+ some mobile gaming and the Motorola smart gestures
Thankx for making this video glad to see that you are making videos on budget phones...❤
Who is watching on a phone that is less than 300 dollars?
Mine was on sale and got for 200 with case and screen protector. Runs pretty flawlessly

Definitely not me. Got mine for exactly 300 usd. Absolutely happy with it.

Finally back on the mid ranges!! This is what got me subscribed to this channel in the first place. Have missed this
This is not mid range. It's low range.
@@mediocreman2in some places $150 is already considered somewhere between low and mid range,idk how overpriced phones in america are,but here this motorola should worth $100, because $150 phones are already way above that.and with $200 phone you could already smashing every games available.
@@easygoing4964which country are you from
@@easygoing4964 Over here, midrange is around $300 to $600, and flagships can cost upwards of $1000. Yeah, pretty overpriced. This moto is definitely one of the cheapest.
The cheapest phone I've seen here was $100 and the second cheapest was a predecessor of the phone shown in this video at $150. I used that year's $150 moto for a while. It was frustratingly slow and unresponsive, sometimes taking more than 10s just to turn the screen on. I'm still optimistic about how these low-end phones are getting better every year
Would like to see more such budget phone teardowns

Nice to see you are doing a teardown review on an a Motorola phone. They are becoming relevant again in the marketplace. How about testing a Motorola Thinkphone next please?! This flagship phone is being offered for $399 right now.

Im using a 170 dollar motorola g60 from 2021 and i love this thing. Im thinking of upgrading later this year to a newer Motorola they are really good phones!
It’s amazing to me how you can look at a phone you’ve never seen before, disassemble and reassemble it on sight, and it works like new.
More like these please! Love to see Budget phones give flagships a run for their MONEY!!

Love the camera design and how little it rises above the body of the phone!!!
My moto g5 was one of the most usable phone I've ever had. Its still being used as an OBDII reader full time in my car and keeps trucking along. It wasn't the fastest or most durable (scratches) but it just hung in there.
Finally, Moto - if you can cover things like their Edge line (in the mid market range, a common competitor for Samsung and such in other countries) I'll be super stoked, would help a bunch!
The fact that that single camera lens looks better than last years triple lens amazes me.
Thanks for making this video
Nice to see budget phones here!
Seeing a teardown of budget phones like this really astounds me with how much clever engineering went into such a low price point. Not a single millimeter wasted in this phone, really fascinating stuff. I daresay the average person couldnt tell much difference between a 1499 dollar phone and a 149 dollar one, and I certainly couldnt tell what i was missing with my motorola power 2021 for the 2 years i used it. Please do more budget teardowns!
What a startling feature list - this looks worth having just as a backup phone if nothing else, or perhaps an excellent dedicated GPS unit for a bike/motorcycle!
Really happy you've covered a budget phone, this isn't even bad either it's pretty impressive for the price!
Motorola have found a nice niche with the entry level market, I've owned a couple and they've both been perfectly usable phones.

I got a TCL 30 XL about 8 months ago for $120 and it has a very similar feature set for a lower price. Other than maybe a slow processor, it is an excellent device, doing literally everything I need it to do. An added surprise on that is the battery that lasts around a week between charges on average. It has the same capacity at 5000mAH. It has served me well and shows no signs of giving up anytime soon.
$149 phone have 90hz. Aren't you ashamed APPLE? 😂
They aren’t because they intentionally don’t put it in.
I’m genuinely surprised how well this phone held up for only $150

Motorola still alive?
are you?
This comment will go viral
Yah owned by lenovo selling great in indian market
Motorola never died
yep, watching in it
You had me cracking up with your cloud caution...😅
I'm glad to see they stuck with that 5000mah battery. My last four phones were the Moto X Pure Edition (2015), Moto G7, Moto G Power 2021 and now the Razr Plus. The battery life is just that. I got so spoiled with not having to charge my phone for days it was a difficult adjustment going to the Razr Plus.
Now THIS is impressive!
I still have the Moto e6 (100 GBP) phone I bought as a placeholder about 6 years ago. It was the last model that had a user removable battery if memory serves & it still works.
my friend bought a g play the other day. they don't want to give up on the headphone jack. I really wish that he could have a phone that had some more power or imaging specs behind it but I'm glad that moto is making a phone that at least has 90hz, a solid battery, fingerprint sensor and a large screen for a honestly killer price.
That seems like a dang good value!

Nice to see Chime sponsoring you. I've had them for years and they're amazing
Zack, just a suggestion. I think for the phones you review you should also do a test where you sprinkle some water on them and test how they function. Kinda opposite of the heat test like your last video.

Looks mighty impressive considering the price & even more so for surviving all your durability tests.

Dang this is surprisingly good for that price, good on Moto for this one.
You likely won't see this but you need to do an audio book. Your voice is perfect for it! 😊
GOOD TO SEE THAT U COVER BUDGET SMARTPHONES ALSO 👍🏻👍🏻
Motorola is doing great. It's being able to compete with Xiaomi and others at entry level (up to 250usd). In my country the phone is named Moto G34, and there are slightly pricier ones that are a lot better (Moto G54 and Moto G84). Some of us don't need or don't like or can't afford a flagship and Motorola is giving good alternatives
My wife and I have 2021 Moto G play phones, they work fine for us. At the time we were using Republic Wireless MVNO that installed an app for WiFi calling. When they got bought out the app went away and even thought Android supports WiFI calling the phone doesn't. So being in terrain challenged NH our phones no longer work in our basement home offices.
Been using chime for years now and to see them sponsoring you is truly amazing. They recognize one of the best channels on UA-cam and partner with him. Win in my book!
