Motorola today revealed its latest smartphone, the Moto G4 Play, putting it on the calendar with a September 15 launch. As the least expensive version of the G4 line thus far, it delivers more entry-level specifications than its counterparts.
Perhaps more importantly than its hardware, though, is the fact that it will work with all four major US wireless providers. Indeed, the $150 phone can hop from AT&T or T-Mobile over to Sprint or Verizon.
Running Android 6.0 Marshmallow, the G4 Play comes with a 5-inch display at 720 pixel resolution, and an 8-megapixel rear camera. Under the hood we find a 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 processor with 2GB RAM and 16GB storage.
