It's cheap and it's the only one of the G family that supports Boost Mobile (don't know why the other ones don't). It would be for a family member who may need to replace an Android 8 phone. For stupid reason I have a couple of prepaid Boost cards, so being able to use them is a plus, but the phone's low up front price is also a big attraction. I have the G Stylus 5g and like it a lot, so am imagining the Play as a less fancy version. Is that reasonable? Thanks.

I've been a fan of the Moto G series for a while. I think they're solid phones but maybe a year or two behind in features compared to their peers. The biggest gripe of mine is that their midrange phones don't, or didn't used to, have NFC capabilities. I dearly miss the Moto Actions though. Chopping to turn on the flashlight is amazing!

2nd to this. Recently got rid of my Moto G Play and I still find myself trying to chop my phone to turn the flashlight on!
