What the critics say (scores are out of 100)

Stuff | Tom Morgan

Small gains over last year's model, but the G7 Play does enough to make it one of the best sub-£200 handsets around.

The Motorola Moto G7 Play sets new standards for budget smartphones. It offers a huge step up in performance and unrivalled value for money.

Pocket-lint | Cam Bunton and Chris Hall

A no-frills phone that gets the basics done, the Play is all about affordability. If you're not interested in gaming and don't have a lot to spend, it's a safe bet indeed.

Digital Trends | Simon Hill

The Moto G7 Play lacks the glamor of the Moto G7 and...the Moto G7 Power, but it's decently cheaper than both. You're getting the best bang for your buck in terms of performance, battery life, and camera...ideal for parents seeking a reasonably priced phone for their kids. It offers substance over style and, if you can't have both, substance is the way to go.

Trusted Reviews | Alastair Stevenson

The Moto G7 Play offers amazing value for money and could be a great crash phone or choice for parents with accident-prone kids in need of a smartphone.

TechRadar | Basil Kronfli

Pocketable, affordable, zippy in day-to-day use - the Moto G7 Play may be a budget phone - and it isn't built for gaming, despite its name - but it bears all the hallmarks of a four-star device.

Expert Reviews | Nathan Spendelow

If funds are running low in the Christmas spending aftermath, and you're in dire need of a smartphone upgrade as 2019 finds its footing, then the Moto G7 Play is a solid choice. It launched alongside three other Moto-branded smartphones, and it's the least impressive of the lot.

Tech.co | Tom Fogden

If you can stretch a bit further, we'd recommend buying the g7 Plus. But if you can't, the g7 Play is a fine option.

The Verge | Chris Welch

I'm going to advise against choosing the last option there, the Play. It's the cheapest of all three [models of the Moto G7 family], but that comes with tradeoffs in build quality (it has a plastic body) and performance.

phoneArena | Victor Hristov

Unfortunately makes too many compromises to be a good daily driver. If you chase a budget, though, and want a compact phone with great battery life and decent performance, it could just work for you.

How HandsetExpert Works: We don't run ads on the site, or charge users to use the site. The site is funded using commission links, where we may receive a commission if a phone or tariff is purchased via HandsetExpert. Our editorial, phone scoring and recommendation system and deal-finding algorithms are not affected by this; we are fiercely committed to providing unbiased, independent information.

Important notes

  • We aim to compare as many tariffs in the marketplace from the UK as possible. However, we do not include every package (e.g. legacy tariffs no longer available, or tariffs only available to existing/specific customers), nor do we detail every aspect of every tariff (e.g. international out of bundle rates, on-network minutes, etc).
  • SIM Only deals do not include plans shorter than 30 days or Pay As You Go rates.
  • We work really hard to get accurate prices from as many providers as possible, but some deals or providers may not be included; if there’s anything we’ve missed then please get in touch and let us know.
  • Whenever we can, we will let you know if a deal is time limited (such as a flash deal), and when the deal expires.
  • For tariffs which offer "unlimited" allowances, there may be times where traffic management or fair usage policies apply.
  • Additional charges for payment methods other than direct debit and for itemised/paper billing may apply.
  • Data only SIM cards, mobile broadband packages, and pay monthly tablets are currently not included in the comparison.
  • Out of bundle charges are not included in the calculation of Average Monthly Cost.
  • Contracts may not be available for some phone models in all colours and/or sizes, and a small number may only be available either as a pay monthly contract or a contract free handset, but not both.
  • Providers may increase the cost of your contract by RPI (inflation). However, if prices are increased that then cause a materially detrimental impact, you have the right to exit your contract without penalty. More details available from Ofcom plus comparative information on customer service and complaints handling & their guide on how to complain.
  • Ofcom runs a voluntary accreditation scheme for digital comparison tools (DCTs) for telephone, broadband and pay-TV, and has confirmed that this DCT meets the criteria for accreditation. For further details about the scheme, including the criteria that DCTs must meet, visit the price comparison page on the Ofcom website.
