The Moto G9 Play is Motorola’s latest budget banger

When it comes to mid-range, few give you more bang for your buck than Motorola. And its latest, the Moto G9 Play, adopts the same approach: eye-openingly impressive specs for a wallet-friendly price. The display is a typically enormous 6.5in 1080p LCD with a 20:9 aspect ratio. You get three cameras: a 48MP main sensor with Night Vision, a 2MP depth sensor and a 2MP macro lens. A Snapdragon 662 coupled with 4GB of RAM should make everything tick along respectably, and a whopping 5,000mAh battery means you can give your apps a right old kicking with little concern for juice. It ships with mercifully bloat-free Android 10 and there’s even a dedicated Google Assistant button on the side. Yours from today for £159.

About

I'm fascinated by all things tech, but if you were going to leave me on a desert island, I'd probably ask for my Nintendo Switch, a drone, and a pair of noise-cancelling cans to block out the relentless seagull racket. When I'm not on Stuff duty you'll probably find me subscribing to too many podcasts, playing too many video games, or telling anyone who will listen that Spurs are going to win a trophy this season.
