Keep your Moto G Play (2023) display safe from cracks and scratches with the best protectors.
The Moto G Play (2023) is one of the best cheap Android phones you can buy. It has a two-day battery life, a decent display, a microSD slot for extended storage, a fingerprint scanner, and up to three years of security updates. This device also features the increasingly unpopular headphone jack and an IP52 water-repellent rating, all for just $170.

Moto G Play (2023) review: A former budget king struggles to remain relevant
The new Moto G Play is here to battle it out in the budget Android category, but there may have been too many compromises to stand a chance.
Admittedly it has been quite a while since I have spent a significant amount of time with a budget smartphone, and the last time I used a Motorola device was the Moto Z Play from 2016. Going into my review of the new Moto G Play (2023), I knew I'd have to temper my expectations for how the device would perform as my daily driver after using high-end flagships like the Pixel 7 Pro and Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4. So, how did the budget-minded Moto G Play (2023) fare? About as expected.
The Moto G Play 2023 is here with a few design and hardware improvements
The budget-friendly device packs MediaTek's Helio G37 SoC and a 6.5-inch HD+ display
Although Motorola's flagships are rarely among the best Android phones, its affordable Moto G series hasn't failed to make an appearance in our best cheap Android phone roundups for the last few years. We expect Motorola to continue this trend in the coming year, and it has made a great start today with the launch of the Moto G Play 2023.
Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro, Redmi K40 Pro, Motorola Edge S, and OnePlus Nord Android 11 kernel sources are now available
Kernel sources for the Redmi Note 10 Pro, Redmi K40 Pro and several Motorola phones, including the Edge S, are now available for download.
The GNU General Public License version 2 (GPLv2) mandates every Android device manufacturer to publicly release the part of Linux kernel code that they have shipped on their devices. An ideal kernel source release should be accompanied by appropriate commit history, and all the dependencies are expected to be properly documented. While we don’t expect every company to maintain such a high standard, there are a few OEMs who regularly publish the source code for all the software revisions they roll out. We are happy to report that a couple of new devices now have had their kernel sources released, namely the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro and the Redmi K40 Pro. Motorola has also updated its official GitHub repository with the kernel source code release for the Motorola Edge S and several other smartphones. The OnePlus Nord grabbed our attention as well, for which OnePlus has published kernel sources corresponding to the phone's stable Android 11 update.

Kernel sources for the Motorola Moto E7/E7 Plus and a truckload of Xiaomi devices are now available
Kernel sources for the Motorola Moto E7 series and several Xiaomi phones, including the Mi Note 10 Lite, are now available for download.
Since Android is built on top of the Linux kernel, Android device makers have to provide, upon customer request, the source code for any Linux kernel binaries that ship on their devices. That includes not only the release date software, but also any subsequent updates to the kernel. The availability of such sources allow the modding community to add new capabilities that are otherwise not offered in the stock configuration. Kernel source releases also help developers to port popular custom ROMs (e.g. LineageOS) for the device which, in turn, benefit users who aren’t satisfied with the stock ROM. OEMs like Xiaomi and Motorola maintain a steady track record of releasing these sources and we now have another example of their commitment towards the aftermarket developer community.
