TECHGEAR Moto G9 Play Tough Armoured Case - ShockProof, Rugged, Sturdy, Heavy Duty Protective Case Cover Designed for Motorola Moto G9 Play (Pink)

Product Information

Color is good, just not ultra-saturated even if you use the ‘saturated’ color profile. The Moto G9 Play does not support HDR video but -whisper it -HDR is a bit pointless in phones anyway. The Moto G9 Play has a perfectly solid screen. However, we are now quite accustomed to 90Hz and 120Hz screens, and the switch down to a 60Hz one with clearly sub- OLED pixel response times did take a day or two to bed into. There’s even a pleasant surprise for night shooting. Typically, lower-end phones in the Moto G series do not have Motorola’s Night Vision shooting mode, but the Moto G9 Play does. The front camera has an 8MP f/2.2 sensor that seems to smear fine detail in anything less than good lighting. But we think it’s a perfectly acceptable selfie camera at this level. The Moto G9 Play also has a Portrait mode for selfies, which is a lovely touch. Certain features, functionality, and product specifications may be network dependent and subject to additional terms, conditions, and charges. All are subject to change without notice.

Next is the ultra-slim case for the Motorola Moto G9 Play. Made from high quality TPU material which makes the case strong and durable, soft and lightweight at the same time. It provides reliable protection from dust, scratches, oil, dirt and fingerprints. The cutouts allow for easy accessibility to all the buttons and charging port.Video is severely restricted, though. You can only shoot at up to 1080p resolution, 60 frames per second. And we recommend using 1080p, 30fps most of the time, as it’s the best quality mode on offer that also allows for electronic image stabilization (EIS). Footage looks jerky and ugly without EIS. In design terms, Motorola has mixed up the formula again, most notably when it comes to the rear camera placement. Now situated in a neat square in the top-centre portion of the phone, the three cameras and LED flash module are spaced evenly apart in a 2×2 grid, with a sensibly-placed circular fingerprint reader – with the Motorola “M” logo etched onto it – sitting just underneath.

The Moto G9 Play has an entry-level camera overall then, but with a little know-how you can tease some pleasant photos from it. But now, more than a week later? We don’t really notice the slightly old-school handling of fast-scrolling menus. Given the Moto G9 Play’s price we’re happy with the phone’s screen quality. Attributes present here typical of phones at the price include that photos taken in indoor lighting look soft and desaturated, and right down at pixel level images tend to look either noisy or processed. However, given the price, the Moto G9 Play performs admirably enough.

Fifth is the mirror case for the Motorola Moto G9 Play. The case has a built-in stand for easy hands-free viewing whenever you want, where ever you want. The phone case also protects the phone from dust, dirt, scratches and fingerprint smudges. The clear mirror flip has the function of viewing the time, date and weather on the cover just like your phone’s screen. It comes in many attractive colors to enhance your style.

The Moto G9 Play also has a water repellent ‘nano’ coating under its rear shell. This doesn’t mean you should start dunking the phone in water, but it does mean it is better prepared for the elements than a lot of cheap phones. Display The Moto G9 Play has a 6.5-inch 720 x 1600 LCD screen. It has no particular high-end traits, but good, cheap displays like this now get you close enough to the experience of a much more expensive mobile. It’s pretty much the same price as the Moto G8these days, however, and when you take into account the added extras this represents exceptional value for money.As for the cameras, the Moto G9 Play uses a triple-camera array on the rear. The primary snapper is a 48MP (f/1.7) affair, and this is complemented by a 2MP (f/2.4) macro and a 2MP (f/2.4) depth-sensing unit. Eagle-eyed readers might have noticed that the depth sensor actually replaces the Moto G8’s wide-angle camera, which is a bit of a shame. In my view, the option to squeeze more stuff in the frame is more beneficial than any marginal gains achieved by a depth sensor. Its large size is also a big benefit for almost all games and apps. Can you do better for the same cost? Yes. Xiaomi sells several phones for similar money with higher resolution displays. The Xiaomi Redmi 9 and Redmi Note 9 have 1080p screens, as does the Realme 6. As for the other cameras, the macro unit allows you to get up to 4x closer to your subject than the regular snapper, capturing finer details up close. It’s fun to use, but results are variable. It was a particularly windy day when I was testing this feature for my review, and the camera struggled to focus on the quivering flowers in the garden.
