The Best Smartphone Ive Owned at Any Price. I cant stress enough how great of a phone this is. It does everything I need it to do better than any phone Ive owned. Factor in the price, and surely theres no better deal in smartphones today. - X a consumer X
There's an Android 6.0 smartphone that costs less than family dinner at the Olive Garden. It's cheap, but it's not, you know, cheap. - Wall Street Journal
Im so OVER those $700 phones. This is just as good! - J. G. Tower
The Moto G is the latest generation of the best budget smartphone going. The BLU is a nice piece of hardware-HD display, aluminum body, Android 6.0-from a company with a rep for solid fit and finish at fire-sale prices. Better still, they're both unlocked. - WIRED
The new Prime exclusive Moto G Play features Android 6.0 Marshmallow with Google Mobile Services, including Google Maps, Gmail, YouTube, and Google Play. It boasts a 5 720p HD display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 quad-core processor with up to 1.2 GHz, 2 GB RAM, and 4G LTE speeds.

Here's more from customers and media on Amazon's initial lineup of Prime exclusive phones:
This phone BLU my worries away! I am a college student and find that there is no need to get stuck in a contract when I could easily do everything I want with a cheaper phone. For the price, one might think everything about this phone is cheap when truly it is only the price. - Justin
Let me put it this way - A $60 phone that has Dual SIM, expandable storage, the vital GSM bands (band 12 coming via an OTA update), 2GB of RAM (unseen at this price point), a front facing flash, and a decent design. On top of that they actually pull off curved glass on this phone? Oh, and they add a metal trim to give it a more premium feel. - A. Antonio
Can you believe this only costs $60? And honestly, I still can't. - Wired
The R1 HD is an incredible value. It's $50, and it works. - Tech Insider
If you are looking for a good option on a budget, the BLU R1 HD should definitely be considered. - Android Authority
Customers can pre-order the Moto G Play starting today, and devices will begin shipping on September 15th. Visit www.amazon.com/prime-exclusive-phones for additional information and details about the Prime exclusive offer. The
