Verdict

Moto G Play 2021 as a successor of Moto G9 Play comes equipped with the same 3GB RAM and 32GB internal storage. The device entails dual cameras on the rear side teamed with a 5MP selfie lens which is capable of capturing decent portraits. However, considering its price range and offerings from other brands, the camera setup is a bit turnoff. The smartphone also features a hybrid SIM slot, which can be considered a massive drawback for the device provided it has only 32GB internal storage.
