Motorola Moto G6 Play - user opinions and reviews

I was a Motorola user for many years then I saw Motorola started to lose the ground since Lenovo bought them. After trying out different brands, I've ended up with Honor. Couldn't be any happier.

I have this phone for 7 years. Very satisfied with the performance but the screen has started not responding unless I turn it off and on a couple of times. Looking for a good motorola replacement but most of the newer phones I looked reviews for, see...

STILL using this phone now..... Learned how to replace battery and speaker.... The only parts I can ever find is cheap china junk.... Purchased for $179 seven years ago.... This has been an awesome phone for the price.... 2020 was the last patch sent...
