The Moto G Play (2021) is even more affordable this Prime Day at $135
This is the lowest price the phone has ever been available for so far
If you are looking to buy a new smartphone for cheap, Prime Day is a great time to pick one up. Motorola is known for its budget offerings, and for Prime Day, you can get the Moto G Play (2021) at its lowest price yet. The phone retails for $170, but Amazon has it discounted to just $135—translating into a saving of $35 after a sweet 18% discount. Sure, it's not among the best budget Android phones on the market, but you will be hard-pressed to find a better option at this price point.

Moto G Play 2021 review, two months later: Updates are already a problem
A monster of a budget phone, but it's already four months out of date
Read update
Every budget phone has its own mix of features and compromises, and this difference in the cocktail from model to model and brand to brand makes them unique. Some combinations are better than others, though, and the Moto G Play comes very near striking an ideal blend. It has good performance (for the price), pleasant software, fantastic battery life, and a big screen, all for just $170. But there is one big drawback: Motorola can't even keep up with Google's minimum requirements for updates a mere two months after the phone's release.

Motorola refreshes Moto G line, introduces new budget phones priced as low as $170
Plus, Moto's cheapest 5G phone yet
The original Moto G pioneered the mid-range phone space, and subsequent released have offered at least respectable value. After a few stumbles, we quite liked last year's Moto G Power and G Stylus. A new generation of budget Moto phones launch this very month, and three of them are Moto G phones. There are new, more powerful versions of the G Power and G Stylus, as well as a G Play priced at just $170. If you want to step up from the G, Motorola also has the new Motorola One 5G Ace, which is its cheapest 5G phone yet at $400.
