Motorola today said it will make its low-cost Moto G4 Play handset available unlocked to U.S. buyers beginning September 15. The G4 Play is the least-expensive variant of the G4 family, which also includes the Moto G4 and Moto G4 Plus. The G4 Play has a 5-inch display at 720p HD, a 1.2 GHz Snapdragon 410, and an 8-megapixel main camera at f/2.2. The battery holds 2800mAh and supports rapid charging, but the charger is not included with the phone. Other features include LTE, Bluetooth, GPS, WiFi, sensors, and micro USB. Motorola said the G4 Play is available for preorder today from the web sites of Amazon, B&H, and Motorola. The phone sells for $149.99. Verizon Wireless plans to make the G4 Play available to its prepaid customers in the coming weeks. Last, Amazon plans to offer a Prime version of the Moto G4 Play for $99.99. Amazon's lower price requires users to view ads on the lock screen.

C'mon Dual Active Sim....

I hope the dual sim version is dual active with decent US bands, seeing how you cant find any good dual active sim phones.

Unless you are on a really tight budget, consider the standard (not play) version

The play version comes with a smaller lower res screen, lacks the quick charger, and has a less capable CPU. The standard G4 is a signifant step up, it does coat a bit more though.

Really?

No chargers? Why would you buy a phone without a charger? That makes no sense, it's an obvious way to make money, but the fact they're doing so in this way makes it so I would never buy this phone. It would be smarter to charge $175 and include the charger so buying the phone alone doesn't feel like such a ripoff

I think it will have a charger, just not a charger with rapid charge capability.
