8/16/2023 0 Comments X moto 5.2The power button and volume rockers are on the right of the phone, though they are slightly high up for easy one-handed reach. Below it, there’s a dimple for the Motorola logo that doubles as the fingerprint scanner. There’s a raised circle centered on the rear of the phone that houses the rear camera and flash, akin to the camera bumps found on most recent Moto phones but plastic in this case. The back is covered by a single, textured plastic piece that pops off for access to the removable battery, the SIM slot, and the microSD slot for expandable storage. The front-facing camera and flash are above the screen, situated on each side of the earpiece that also serves as the only speaker. The 5.2-inch screen only covers about two-thirds of the front, meaning there’s a large bezel above and below it. The front of the phone is all glass with a thin protective plastic lip around the perimeter. In many ways, it’s not so dissimilar to the first-generation Moto G we had four years ago. There’s nothing exciting about the Moto E5 Play design. Moto E5 Play flanked by a first-generation Moto G on each side Design The following review only covers the US version of the Moto E5 Play. It runs Android Oreo Go Edition, while the US model runs full Android Oreo, and it has different specs, including a 5.3-inch 18:9 screen, a 2,100mAh battery and 1GB of RAM. However, despite having the same name the UK model is very different. In the UK meanwhile you can pick up a phone called the Moto E5 Play from O2, EE, Three, Carphone Warehouse, Tesco, Amazon and Argos at a cost of £89 SIM-free or from £69 on pay as you go. (Note: we popped a T-Mobile SIM card into our review unit, and it connected to the network successfully.) It would be nice to see more carrier availability for the Moto E5 Play, since it strikes a successful balance of capability and cost that make it a great pick for anyone who wants a no-fuss, no-fanfare type of smartphone. Curiously, Cricket’s model is renamed to Moto E5 Cruise, and it’s the only one available in a color other than black. In the US, it’s sold direct from mobile carriers, with Verizon, Cricket, Comcast Xfinity, and Boost Mobile offering it for prices from $69 to $119. The Moto E5 Play launched as US exclusive, though a different phone with the same name is now available in the UK (more on that below), while Australia is only getting the Moto E5 or Moto E5 Plus. The Moto E5 Play successfully continues that tradition. Motorola is frequently one of the best manufacturers offering clean Android experiences in quality budget phones.
