Design
Looking at the device you would immediately know it’s from Motorola, due to their unique smartphone design. It has a removable plastic back, to change SIM or the battery. There’s a fingerprint scanner as well, which is not that rampant among budget phones.
While the circle foundation at the top houses the rear camera and LED flash in a vertical position. The device is quite bulky to the sides, measuring 9mm in thickness but weighs just 150g overall. You can get the Moto E5 Play in Black, Dark lake and Flash gray colors only.
Display
Unlike its other siblings the Motorola Moto E5 Play comes with lots of bezels which is definitely not attractive. However, it’s a budget smartphone, so it isn’t surprising. The Motorola logo sits at the bottom bezel while the top houses the selfie camera, LED flash and speaker grille.
Equipped with a standard 5.2-inch HD IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen, with a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels and 282 pixel per inch density for clear enough visuals. Disappointingly, the screen stretches up to 66.7% screen-to-body ratio, which is not good enough compared to its siblings.
