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

    The fact that a $149 phone has 90Hz but two particular $800/$900 flagships still have 60Hz
  • @DioTheGreatOne
    150$ entry-level phone: headphone jack, expandable storage, charger included. Meanwhile, 1500$ flagships... 💀

    1:32 "back in 2015"... .. .. "Almost a decade ago" 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.

    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.

    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

    1:13 Funny how a $149 phone has scratches at a level 6 while the $3,500 Vision Pro scratches at level 3 😂

    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.
  • @GFourGadget
    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!
  • @Michi-go5xi
    I'm happy you covered this phone :) flagships are not everything... It's wonderful to see that cheaper phones also have quality!
  • @ArihanBaroliaA
    Clearly performed better than the iPhone 15 Pro Max as far as I can remember

    Edit #2: Spoiler alert! Don't read on! You've been warned. It's crazy that this 150 dollar phone is over here surviving when 1500 dollar phones can't. Edit: If you're worried about spoilers -- WHY ARE YOU IN THE COMMENTS?
  • @shadesXL1220
    Glad to finally see you start doing a budget phone. Flagships and only the high end mid-rangers ever got any attention
  • @rui569
    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.
  • @carsonlamb2106
    When are we going to get an update on the casetify lawsuit?👀
  • @dvniIo
    US$149 smartphone does better in the bend test than the iPhone 15 lol
  • Did that burn on the screen recover? By the end of the video it looked gone! Thanks for a great video and perfect phone for my destructive kid!
  • @TheIc3m4n89
    Love the combo videos - durability and tear downs all in one! Thank you!
