Motorola has gone ahead and launched another version of its latest Moto G lineup dubbed the Moto G4 Play. Announced shortly after its more attention-seeking siblings, the new handset basically serves as a budget alternative to the other two.
The Moto G4 Play will hit the US and Canada mid-summer. Motorola is also planning to release the phone to other select regions. It hasn’t announced how much the device will go for yet. Based on its specs sheet, the smartphone comes across as the direct successor to the Moto G (3rd Gen), sporting updated features within the same entry-level bracket.
As such, the G4 Play could appeal to consumers who liked the previous variant’s form factor and don’t want to shell out cash for a bigger screen or fingerprint scanner. They’ll be getting a sleeker design and water resistance, in addition to Google’s latest Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow out-of-the-box.
