The Motorola Moto G Play has slipped below the $100 line at Amazon, with Mashable reporting the budget phone is on sale for $99.99 as of July 20.
That price is $50 off the listed $149.99 price, a 33% discount, according to Mashable’s deal coverage. For shoppers trying to replace an aging phone without paying flagship money, the deal puts Motorola’s handset squarely in bargain-bin territory.
Mashable says the phone still covers the basics buyers expect, including fast performance and strong battery life. The Moto G Play is positioned as a low-cost option for everyday phone use, including streaming and web browsing.
What the discounted Moto G Play includes
The phone runs on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 processor and comes with 4GB of RAM, according to Mashable. That hardware is described as supporting smooth performance for routine tasks rather than premium-level phone demands.
The Moto G Play also has a 6.5-inch HD+ display with a 90Hz refresh rate. For sound, Mashable lists stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos and Hi-Res Audio support.
- Sale price at Amazon: $99.99
- List price: $149.99
- Savings: $50, or 33%
- Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 680
- Memory: 4GB of RAM
- Display: 6.5-inch HD+ screen with 90Hz refresh rate
- Storage: 64GB built in, with microSD support up to 1TB
For photos, the phone includes a 50MP Quad Pixel camera, Mashable reports. The camera combines four pixels into one, a setup described as improving image quality.
Storage is another practical selling point in the deal. The Moto G Play includes 64GB of built-in space, plus support for microSD cards up to 1TB, according to Mashable. That gives buyers room for photos, apps, games and other files without relying only on the phone’s internal storage.
A budget phone deal for right now
The discount arrives at a time when cheap replacement phones remain a key category for shoppers who need the essentials without paying hundreds of dollars. Mashable points to Amazon as the retailer offering the deal.
As with any online sale, the price may change after the reported July 20 deal window. At the time cited by Mashable, the Motorola Moto G Play was available at Amazon for $99.99.
