This Smartphone is $149 – Motorola Missed the Memo…

Nobody tell Motorola things are supposed to be more expensive… Build your credit this new year. Go to https://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: https://amzn.to/49vZscC

  1. I’d love to see durability test of new Motorola edge phone with wooden back… It feels so delicate and empty just when you tap on it with your finger. Plus I would include spill test with putting it on the drops of different everyday liquids, like wine or oil or hand cream, to see how well it sucks it and gets stained forever… (well, maybe I’d be surprised, and this wood is actually protected from stains? it doesn’t seem to, it feels very porous) I feel like the only way to keep this phone in decent state is by covering it with some case… which kind of makes the idea of using real wood, not just wood-looking plastic useless…

  2. Motorola is just give people a little love by selling their phones for an affordable price I have the Moto G 5G 2024 fast is doing what is should be doing.

  3. I love my phone and I can play my fave games on high quality graphics settings

  4. Motorola…?..you mean Lenovo??

    Lo malo es que su pantalla es opaca en la oscuridad muy mal gusto en comparacion con los infinix creo los infinix son lo mejor

  6. I have the Motorola Stylus 5G 2024. After using it as my secondary phone, I almost prefer using it over my primary which is an iphone 16 pro max. It already beat out 2 other used phones I have hanging around in my drawer a Samsung S20 FE and my older Pixel 6. They feel /look worse to use than the stylus.

  7. Hell it looks like a good backup phone or burner phone to give to a friend who keeps damaging their phone. Me I get top level gaming phones because of the battery life and cost to spec like the red magic 9 to other phones than when I upgrade in two years I give them to the kids instead of putting them up for a backup. Remember when you use a phone you start the battery damage and over time even if you don’t use the phone the battery can go bad and pop and burn. I have had two iPhone batteries turn into spicy pillows. So it is old and not good it’s get recycled or trashed. I do hope the U.S pass in the future a right to repair laws and make companies responsible for their decisions. In most of the world recycling is not a thing and if you make it illegal to trash it people like will just destroy it before it gets recycled. Why ease my personal information is on it and look at Apple and their past history of handling private information and photos on refurbishing old equipment.

  8. Uso la familia Moto G desde 2014. He tenido sólo tres terminales en estos 10 años, el moto G 1 16 GB de almacenamiento, luego a finales de 2017 el moto G 5 plus, y desde mayo de 2022 el ahora tengo en uso, el moto G71. No veo interesante pasar a otras marcas. Incluso el moto G 5 plus funciona bien hoy, para conectarme a la radio por internet, sólo que la batería no dura nada.

  9. Why destroy such a nice motorola ?

  10. @LuisAlbertoVillegas-c9g January 29, 2025 at 1:42 pm

    Qué modelo de teléfono es ése?

  11. Spoiler alert: this is my new phone that Gap at the top of the screen is a speaker its not a mess up 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀 edit#1: YOU ARE CRAZY FOR DOING THAT TO THE PHONE I HATE YOU 😡😡😡😡😡

  12. Motorola is doing pretty enjoyable phones. I bought my Motorola Edge 50 neo yesterday, and it doesn’t disaponted me, its snappy, compact, have a decent screen, durable and take pretty cool photos. Motorola is doing the things right.

  13. @ArmandoOrozco-e8u January 29, 2025 at 1:46 pm

    Antes compraba xaomi y ahora mis teléfonos son Motorola…

  14. 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 Don’t break it 😢

  15. I like this review taking a budget and showing it’s not a bad effort at all.

  16. Người nghèo không mua nổi.kẻ giàu coi như rác

  17. Got a Moto G 2022 android 13 still going strong.

  18. I’ve had no problems with my 2 Moto g Power (same phone, bigger battery, less for gaming).
    The performance isn’t bad and I’m not too picky. It does what I need a phone to do and then some.
    I’ll never remove/replace the battery because by that time, it’ll be time to get a new one.
    The phone is so inexpensive, I could by 4-5 and still come under the price of a new Apple iPhone.
    I’m not making movies. I don’t need the latest app nor am I using it in my work.I need a phone, calculator and a camera plus a few other odds and ends. Nothing serious or professional.

  19. After he started cutting it with the knife I clicked off… Senseless destruction of a perfectly good phone is upsetting.

  20. Sufrí viendo como raya el celular con el scooter

  21. Now $102.

    I bought one when they first came out and haven’t been disappointed yet. My only complaint is the pixel quality when zoomed in is a bit lacking. Otherwise, it is great. I bought mine at at&t for $150 then the next day I was at Walmart and found it for $60. I was a bit flustered at the time and still annoyed, however, it has been the best $150s I’ve spent on a phone. It even beats many other $500-$800 phones I’ve had and it has outlasted the Razer I bought just before it. As long as Motorola keeps a phone on the market like this I’ll never buy a flagship phone again.

  23. Como odio estoy review xq rompen asi los celulares con que necesidad?

  24. Of course the phone is going to get torn up while you are torturing it with razors and burning it with fire. Painful to watch. Lol

  25. tiene que tener micho dinero para dañar un telefono asi

  26. If only Motorola also made good Bluetooth support, that would have made those killer phones……… As things are now, that is the only thing that is missing from their Edge series, the Bluetooth is ultra bad.

  27. I regret buying this phone

  28. The constant destructive testing is kind of annoying. Yes, we know it’s plastic, no need to scratch scrape and gouge every square inch of the phone. I’ve had excellent luck with the low end Motorola phones and they function well as daily drivers for me. I don’t game though, if you did you would probably want a more expensive phone.

  29. I’ve had this phone for 3 months. It’s a great phone. Go get one now. They upgraded it Android 14 free.

  30. God man i need and im watching u destroy breaking my heart

  31. Ur loved by most. But ur voice bout bout me to sleep…until the nails on chalkboard..cringe of your razor scraping the phone got my attention. I cldnt tell most times if u were complimenting or dissing bc u spoke without emotion.( monotone but trying to be polite) lol. Good content for the right person..But my guy..im recovering from a house fire. I cldve really used that phone u just destroyed. Was hard to watch. Haha. . Respectfully leaving this comment hoping nobody takes it too personal, bc its meantbto be lighthearted. ❤

  32. Nice Video ❤

  33. @jacobblumenstein4450 January 29, 2025 at 2:09 pm

    Ive had this phone for 6 months and am super happy with it. My google Pixel broke after only 3.

  34. @danielmarinucci9342 January 29, 2025 at 2:10 pm

    I have a moto to g play & i like it just fine.
    It’s done everything I’ve asked it to. It’s even a prepaid TracFone.

  35. @oswaldoguerreiro5534 January 29, 2025 at 2:11 pm

    Esto es una grosería ese tipo de prueba se la haces a un iPhone o un Samsung le pasaría lo mismo o peor, no es justo hay personas que no tenemos para comprar un celular y bienes y destruyes uno de esa manera, RESPETO!!!! Que de mal gusto.

  36. Why don’t you do samsung a series teardown?

  37. today 100 dlls at moto store

  38. Motorola is the most reliable sleeper phone brand out there. They’re like the Volvo of phones

  39. do you think 149 is underestimated

  40. @m.g.tmegatrox6698 January 29, 2025 at 2:17 pm

    Aber cala el red Magic

  41. Who’s watching this on $800+ phone?

  42. I’ve just bought the Moto 14 e from Argos £70 and it looks like it’ll be fine for me I only watch YouTube and don’t need anything technical I’ve been using a old acatel because the I phone 13 I had just stopped working when trying connect with the internet it just constantly has the the little circle that goes round and round buffering is it called?? The Alcatel for being very old still works it offers me updates same time everyday witch I ignore I think all these updates actually slow the phone down??

  43. The speaker is great. Dolby Atmos.

  44. @williamreilly8734 January 29, 2025 at 2:18 pm

    This is absolutely disgusting, there is no need to inflict such wanton damage to a device. There is enough waste in the world, there is no need to create more. Spare a thought for the workers who made this phone and the conditions they have to put up with, the resourses used to make it. Absolutely disgusting practice – I won’t be coming back here again

  45. Como usuario de Motorola desde hace años, me ha dolido lo que le has hecho al pobre teléfono 😢😢😢😢😭😭😭😭

  46. @drasticbubble1223 January 29, 2025 at 2:19 pm

    So i have the 2020 edition and its glass back but other than that its about the worst phone ever it hurts me to watch bro break phones that are like so nice looking like ooh its so nice when u swipe from the home page to the second home page and its so smooth or like when u open a app and it opens so fast

  47. I was looking for a useful review of this product, not a destruction demonstration. 😮

  48. @stefannicolae3108 January 29, 2025 at 2:21 pm

    poco x7 pro being 340 dollars in my country

  49. These destructive phone review videos are absolutely unnecessary.

  50. i have the moto g with stylus. lovely phone
