Motorola Moto G4 Play launches on September 15 in the US, costs as low as $99.99

Announced back in May, at the same time with he Moto G4 and Moto G4 Plus, the Moto G4 Play is now finally ready to hit shelves in the US - about two months after Motorola released the G4 and G4 Plus.

Already available in Canada, the Moto G4 Play will be launched stateside on September 15, and can be pre-ordered via Motorola, Amazon, and B&H Photo Video. The new phone costs $149.99 unlocked, though you can also grab it for just $99.99, as long as you're an Amazon Prime member, and don't mind seeing Amazon ads on your lock screen.

Being the cheapest option among Motorola's three new G4 smartphones, the Moto G4 Play is also the smallest (sporting a 5-inch 720p display), and the less powerful (as it's got a Snapdragon 410 processor instead of the Snapdragon 617 found inside its larger siblings). Another thing to keep in mind is that the Moto G4 Play can't be customized via Moto Maker, so you can only get it in two color variants: black and white.

The Moto G4 Play is compatible with all major US carriers (LTE included). The phone runs Android 6.0 Marshmallow, further featuring an 8 MP rear camera, 5 MP front-facing camera, 2 GB of RAM, and 16 GB of expandable storage space. The device benefits from water repellent nano-coating, and includes a 2800 mAh battery.
