Best Moto G Play (2023) screen protectors in 2023

Keep your Moto G Play (2023) display safe from cracks and scratches with the best protectors.

The Moto G Play (2023) is one of the best cheap Android phones you can buy. It has a two-day battery life, a decent display, a microSD slot for extended storage, a fingerprint scanner, and up to three years of security updates. This device also features the increasingly unpopular headphone jack and an IP52 water-repellent rating, all for just $170. While the lack of advanced features such as 5G, NFC, or exceptional cameras can be deal-breakers, there's no denying that it's a great phone for under $200.

The latest addition to Motorola's popular G series might not be the best cheap Android phone overall, but the Moto G 5G (2023) excels at a couple of things that will make it a great pick for some. It offers a clean software experience, excellent battery life, a high refresh rate display, and decent enough performance for most day-to-day tasks. However, it lags behind similarly-priced competitors in the camera department and doesn't have the best build quality in the sub-$300 price bracket. If you're considering buying one for yourself or have ordered it already,

Motorola has been on a roll as of late, releasing and refreshing its handset lineup, which is mostly filled with budget-friendly smartphones that pack a lot of features. The Moto G 5G (2023) is one of its latest phones that provides excellent bang for the buck, with its 120Hz display, fantastic battery life, good performance, and excellent software experience. At $250, the Moto G 5G isn't going to break the bank, has everything you could ever want from a smartphone, and could be the perfect phone for you if you're willing to look over some of its shortcomings.

Motorola's G-series of budget smartphones get more compelling every year, providing all the essentials at an affordable price. This year's Moto G (2023) is no different, but it might not be enough to warrant an upgrade over the Moto G (2022). Though it's clear that the Moto G (2023) is a more complete package as a budget smartphone in 2023 than its predecessor, it also shares a lot of similarities with that model. In some cases, the Moto G (2023) features changes that some might consider a step back, like a dual-camera system with a lower megapixel camera than the Moto G (2022).

Motorola’s success over the past few years has stemmed from the lower end of the smartphone market. It’s captured the attention of consumers and reviewers alike with devices that can be well-rounded while delivering on just the fundamentals, making for some of the best budget phones. The standard Moto G series specifically has been a contender in this part of the market, and the latest model for 2023 is no exception.

We're now opening up XDA Forums for both devices where users can find custom ROMs and other mods as well as discuss any issues regarding the devices.
