TECHGEAR Moto G9 Play Tough Armoured Case - ShockProof, Rugged, Sturdy, Heavy Duty Protective Case Cover Designed for Motorola Moto G9 Play (Pink)

Product Information

But now, more than a week later? We don’t really notice the slightly old-school handling of fast-scrolling menus. Given the Moto G9 Play’s price we’re happy with the phone’s screen quality. Motorola adds some shortcut gestures, but Peek is perhaps its most useful addition. This is a display that pops up when the Moto G9 Play is sitting idle, say on a table, and you ‘bump’ it to set off the motion sensors. We recommend using Night Vision for any indoor shots of non-moving subjects, as it more or less fixes the dull and dingy appearance you’d otherwise get. Gaming is no problem either. Fortnite runs at an acceptable 20-30fps, only usually dropping below 20fps when falling from the dropship or taking to the skies in the plane. PUBG runs well at ‘balanced’ graphics, and you can’t use the higher-end modes anyway.

It scores 1,376 in Geekbench 5, far better than the ~900 you’d see from the Moto G8 Play. This phone uses the same processor as the step-up Moto G9 Power. The situation in the US for this phone is a little complicated. The company unveiled its Moto G Play at CES 2021, and it seems similar to the Moto G9 Play but it isn't exactly the same. Portable Chargers - Whichever portable charger you get, you can charge your phone wherever you are. Choose from solar chargers, waterproof external batteries, inductive power banks, and a variety of other options so you never have to worry about a dead battery again. It’s pretty much the same price as the Moto G8these days, however, and when you take into account the added extras this represents exceptional value for money. The Moto G9 Play has a perfectly solid screen. However, we are now quite accustomed to 90Hz and 120Hz screens, and the switch down to a 60Hz one with clearly sub- OLED pixel response times did take a day or two to bed into.This phone is miles better than the Nokia 3.4 we reviewed recently, bringing up the performance to a level we’re happy with. And you get more for your cash here than from a Samsung Galaxy A21s. The Moto G9 Play isn’t very good at accurately judging exposure levels, however, and I often had to use the on-screen exposure slider to boost the overall brightness of a photograph. Low-light performance is pretty dire, too, with a noticeable amount of visual noise and a distractingly warm hue to images shot indoors under less than ideal lighting. As for the cameras, the Moto G9 Play uses a triple-camera array on the rear. The primary snapper is a 48MP (f/1.7) affair, and this is complemented by a 2MP (f/2.4) macro and a 2MP (f/2.4) depth-sensing unit. Eagle-eyed readers might have noticed that the depth sensor actually replaces the Moto G8’s wide-angle camera, which is a bit of a shame. In my view, the option to squeeze more stuff in the frame is more beneficial than any marginal gains achieved by a depth sensor. The Moto G9 Play has an entry-level camera overall then, but with a little know-how you can tease some pleasant photos from it.

There's no reason why you have to settle for anything less than the perfect fit at a good price.It comes as no surprise, then, that performance is practically identical between the two models. Running the Geekbench 5 single- and multi-core CPU tests, the Moto G9 Play achieved the same score as the Moto G8, as well as the other Snapdragon 665 phone on the list, the Nokia 5.3. The only phone it managed to pull away from was the Samsung Galaxy A21s and its Exynos 850 chipset. Seventh on this list is the wallet case for the Motorola Moto G9 Play. Made with high-quality durable retro synthetic leather and inner TPU case, the case provides a soft touch and adequate protection to your phone from dust, scratches, bumps and accidental falls. The magnetic closure keeps your phone, credit cards and money secure inside. Precise cut out design allows easy access to all the buttons and charging port so you don’t have to take out your phone from your cover every time you charge. Entry-level phones that attempt this usually only make images a bit brighter, if that, but the Moto G9 Play also manages to improve detail and image texture over standard Auto shots. As for the other cameras, the macro unit allows you to get up to 4x closer to your subject than the regular snapper, capturing finer details up close. It’s fun to use, but results are variable. It was a particularly windy day when I was testing this feature for my review, and the camera struggled to focus on the quivering flowers in the garden.

In most situations it makes ample use of HDR to lift the shadows while retaining highlight detail. And while a lot of our photos have a slight purple/red skew, the Moto G9 Play’s color is reasonably lifelike when shooting in daylight. In ninth place is the silicone case for the Motorola Moto G9 Play. Made with soft silicone TPU material, the ultra-thin design keeps your phone lightweight and easy to grip. The ultra-transparent design allows you to showcase your phone’s original color and style while being protected and scratch-free. Coming to the screen and camera protection, the raised edges around the corners do a good job of protecting it from accidental drops and impacts.

Like the Moto G8, camera performance is a bit of a mixed bag. The Moto G9 Play’s main camera takes 12-megapixel still images (via a process called pixel binning) and, as far as I could tell, there’s no option to take a full 48MP image. Provided you’re graced with plenty of light, still images look quite lovely for the price, with a decent amount of detail and clean, neutral-looking colours. All battery life claims are approximate and based on the median user tested across a mixed use profile (which includes both usage and standby time) under optimal network conditions. Actual battery performance will vary and depends on many factors, including signal strength, network and device settings, temperature, battery condition, and usage patterns. Water-repellent design creates a barrier to help protect against moderate exposure to water such as accidental spills, splashes, or light rain. Not designed to be submerged in water, or exposed to pressurised water, or other liquids; may diminish over time. Not waterproof. This is only around a third of the brightness of a phone like the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, but it is still enough to make the phone reasonably clear outdoors. We only wished there was a little more on tap when out shooting photos in bright conditions. We didn’t leave the Moto G9 Power wishing it had more pixels, but Full HD+ displays always look better.

There’s even a pleasant surprise for night shooting. Typically, lower-end phones in the Moto G series do not have Motorola’s Night Vision shooting mode, but the Moto G9 Play does. Wireless Headphone - Bluetooth headphones are a must-have when it comes to mobile phone accessories. They come with a variety of functions and properties, so look through our list to find the ones that are right for you. The front camera has an 8MP f/2.2 sensor that seems to smear fine detail in anything less than good lighting. But we think it’s a perfectly acceptable selfie camera at this level. The Moto G9 Play also has a Portrait mode for selfies, which is a lovely touch. The Moto G9 Play uses the Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 chipset with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. That’s a good amount of storage, enough RAM to keep the Android 10 software happy, and a solid entry-level CPU.Motorola released the Moto G9 Play in August 2020 in the Moto G series which offers good smartphones in the budget category. Coming to the specifications, the phone has a 6.5” LCD display, 4GB RAM, a massive 5000mAh battery and powered by Snapdragon 662 octa-core processor. It features a triple rear camera set with 48MP wide, 2MP macro and 2MP depth lens and a single 8MP front camera. The G9 Play is a good phone with decent specs in the mid-range and provides fast charging with a good battery life.

FanTings Ultra-Thin Case for Motorola Moto G9 Play For the stat nerds out there, the Moto G9 Play’s bonus cameras use f/2.4 OmniVision OV02B sensors.
