This is my first ever experience buying a refurbished phone, so I had only a theoretical idea of what I was getting into and family and friends were equally clueless. Backmarket Itself made the process very foolproof with a lot of the information that I needed – such as switching SIM cards and data – not only available but specifically sent to me. Even a technological fool like me could switch phones with little problem. My one problem was not with Backmarket itself but with Android 12. While I had looked up this model of phone to see if there were any common problems I had not done the same with the operating system and was surprised when my phone’s keyboard didn't pop up. Backmarket’s online customer service was easy to go through but had no suggestion on how to fix Android 12 keyboard issues. Since I couldn't figure out how to get a live customer service representative on the phone, I was either going to have to repair it myself or go without a phone for several days while Backmarket did the repairs. I decided to try one day of attempting to fix it myself before sending the phone off. Luckily the keyboard missing problem was a common one with Android 12 and easily fixed. I will buy from Backmarket again, I am very satisfied with the price, battery life and operation of my new (to me) phone now that the keyboard pops up. However for any other refurbished items I’ll look up common issues from both the product and the operating system it runs on first.

I bought a MOTO G locked to Verizon's network. I purchased a Verizon sim card and was told by Verizon that the IMEI for the phone was not compatible with my area. After I bought a sim card and phone plan! I'm a little disappointed. The phone came in great shape and I was very excited. Now I'm just disappointed.

Who is this for?

The Motorola Moto G Play (2023) is made for users searching for a no-nonsense, reliable device—think students, families needing a backup phone, or anyone tired of being bombarded by “flagship feature” hype. Its simple Android experience, lightweight build, and practical specifications make it easier than ever to get online and stay connected. If you’re eyeing newer models like the Moto G Power, expect more processing power and sharper screens there, but for essential daily use, the Moto G Play (2023) keeps things clear and simple.

Pros & Cons: Pros Cons Easy-to-use interface with near-stock Android. Performance is entry-level; not cut out for heavy multitasking or gaming. Large 6.5-inch display offers a comfortable viewing area for browsing and videos. Display resolution limited to HD+; details aren’t as sharp as on higher-end (or even midrange) phones. Water-repellent design for basic splash protection. Single speaker provides only basic audio. Expandable storage via microSDXC slot (parent model spec). Still ships with Android 12—no guarantee of long-term OS updates.
