lcd touch screen for motorola cruise e5 free sample

I got this phone just before Christmas 2018. I was told it is a big seller, takes great photos and videos, etc. Less than three months later, I can"t stand it. I love the fact that the battery charges quickly. It has been easy to handle, nice design. Calls are fine. The photos I have taken have been great. The videos have not been. The sound cuts out or isn"t there at all. It has been very easy to access internet. However, the memory is horrible. That is very important. It comes with so much already on the phone that you cannot remove. Have had it less than three months and I may as well have had it for three years. I have no memory left. And I do not do alot, have alot of apps or anything.

The Moto E5 Play is an entry-level phone from Motorola. It provides phone buyers who may be on a budget with the latest software and a basic toolset at a price anyone can afford. If you"re in the market for a low-cost phone that doesn"t feel too outdated, the Moto E5 Play is a fine option.

The E5 Play is the fifth-generation E series from Motorola. It sees the series taking a bit of a sideways step. The hardware is nearly identical to last year"s E4.

There"s no questioning the phone"s Motorola heritage. The company"s devices have all borne a similar shape over the last few years and the E5 Play carries the same basic footprint into 2018. This phone has a flat glass face, that is fitted into a plastic shell that forms the entire rear surface and side edges. The four corners of the E5 are gently rounded, and the rear panel curves as it reaches the side edges of the phone. It"s a black phone with a matte finish along the sides and a patterned finish on the rear. No other colors are available.

This phone is much bigger than it should be. It has a 5.2-inch screen, but is somehow just as large as phones in the market with 6-inch screens. It"s just shy of 6 inches tall and 3 inches wide. At least Motorola kept the thickness in check and the weight reasonable. It feels solid, without feeling heavy. Small hands could handle the weight, but not necessarily the size. People with average-sized hands should be able to use the phone without issue. It fits into pockets and travels well enough.

I don"t have any concerns about the polycarbonate shell and other materials that make up the Moto E5 Play. For a sub-$100 phone, all the bits and pieces feel strong and well-assembled. I appreciate the build quality and apparent sturdiness.

Like many Motorola phones, the E5 Play has a nano-coating on the inside to protect the electronics from minor splashes and rain. The phone cannot handle a plunge into water, so keep it away from the pool.

The E5 Play has a 16:9 screen shape (rather than 2:1) and huge bezels all the way around. The phone has a huge forehead, a huge chin, and chubby side bezels.

Only two buttons adorn the E5 Play and you"ll find them both on the right edge. A textured screen lock key is the first your thumb encounters as it slides up the side. It has a fine profile and good travel and feedback. The volume toggle is closer to the top and has a smooth texture to it. Feedback could be better; it"s a bit mushy.

I like the textured pattern that covers the rear panel. It sounds like a zipper when you drag your thumbnail across it. The camera module, about the size and shape of a quarter, is close to the top edge. The style of the module matches Motorola"s other phones, such as the G6.

Unlike the majority of today"s phones, the E5 Play features a removable rear shell. The entire back panel comes off if you work your thumb into the right corner. The SIM card and memory cards have their own distinct slots in the chassis underneath. You can pull the battery, and in fact you"ll have to, in order to remove or replace the SIM card. I can"t remember the last time I encountered a removable battery. Yeehaw!

The E5 Play"s LCD measures 5.2 inches corner to corner and sticks to the older 16:9 aspect ratio. It has HD resolution (1,280 by 720 pixels), which is about what I expect from an entry-level phone. The resolution works well enough for this screen size and shape. On-screen elements looked clean and sharp. I couldn"t spot any individual pixels. The display throws off plenty of light. I used the phone inside and outside without losing sight of the screen, even under direct sunlight. Colors looked good and viewing angles were excellent.

If you want to tweak the display, the E5 Play offers a few options. For example, you can select from a few preset color profiles in addition to managing brightness, and other typical behaviors.

The Moto E5 Play is sold from Boost, Cricket, and Verizon Prepaid. We tested the Boost-branded version on Sprint"s network around New York City. (Boost is a Sprint brand.)

The phone did a very good job of finding and connecting to Sprint. It remained on 4G LTE everywhere I took it over the course of several days and never dropped the network entirely. The E5 Play connected calls consistently, even under poor conditions, and never dropped a call. That"s all good news.

With Cat. 6 LTE aboard, you can expect decent data performance for a phone of this class. (Many entry-level phones still only go up to Cat. 4.) The E5 Play was quick enough on Sprint"s network for browsing the web, perusing Facebook, and enjoying Instagram. Streaming music from Spotify and video from YouTube required lower quality settings to get a stutter-free experience.

The E5 Play has a 2,800 mAh battery inside and it does a great job. The screen and processor doesn"t demand as much juice as those on higher-end phones. That means you win when it comes to battery life. The phone rarely ended a day with less than 40% during my tests. It easily pushed into a second day on a single charge.

Motorola’s G- and E-series smartphones have been the bedrock of budget phones for the past few years. This year, there’s plenty more competition to choose from, but many of our favorites still come from Motorola — ranging from the Moto G6 to the Moto E5 Plus. The latest budget addition we’re looking at is the cheapest phone the Lenovo-owned company has to offer, the Moto E5 Play.

You can’t buy the Moto E5 Play unlocked, but it is available at a variety of carriers including Verizon, and Sprint. Each carrier is charging a different price, from as little as $70 to $192. If it’s available at your carrier for under $150, and you don’t want to pay much for a smartphone, you should buy the E5 Play.

There are compromises — the camera isn’t great, and this phone won’t receive the upcoming version of Android. But with a full day’s worth of battery (that’s also removeable), a solid display, decent performance, and a nice design, the Moto E5 Play is a real bargain.

There’s nothing impressive or special about the Moto E5 Play’s design. It’s about as basic as a phone can look, with chunky bezels surrounding the screen on the front, and a textured, cheap-feeling plastic back.

There’s thankfully a headphone jack at the top, and you’ll find a MicroUSB charging port at the bottom. We do wish Motorola went with the universal and convenient USB Type-C charging port, but the company confirmed to Digital Trends that all its 2019 phones will have a Type-C port.

The slightly curved edges help with grip, and the phone is lightweight, which helps make it comfortable to hold. Flip it around, and the back feels minimal and organized. There’s a circular single-lens camera module at the top, which sticks out from the back ever-so-slightly, and it also houses the flash. Below it is an indented fingerprint sensor, complete with Motorola’s logo.

The fingerprint sensor is placed in a comfortable spot, and it’s fairly responsive. You should know the Virgin Mobile, Cricket Mobile (Moto E5 Cruise), and Boost Mobile variants of the E5 Play don’t include a fingerprint sensor, which is disappointing.

We like how simple the back of the phone looks — the textured black pattern also adds a nice touch, even if it does feel cheap. You can pop the back on and off to access the SIM slot, removable battery, and MicroSD slot. Removable batteries are a dying fad with smartphones, but there’s still strong interest in them because it’s more convenient to swap out batteries instead of lugging around a heavy portable battery charger. That being said, we’ve yet to find a place that sells the Moto E5 Play’s battery.

The 5.2-inch LCD display on the front has a 16:19 aspect ratio with a 1,280 x 720 pixel resolution. The screen looks sharp and colorful, but we did have trouble seeing it outdoors in direct sunlight. We found ourselves often keeping the brightness on the higher side to comfortably see and read what’s on the screen. Despite the lower HD resolution, we didn’t have any issues or problems with video quality when watching movies and shows on the Moto E5 Play.

As for durability, there’s no IP rating for the phone so you’ll want to keep it away from water. Motorola does say there is a water-repellent coating for slight water exposure to protect it in the rain or from accidental spills. We did drop the E5 Play once on concrete (at a height of around 1 and a half feet), and the phone only suffered a minor ding on the side. Just to be safe, you’ll probably want to grab a case.

The Moto E5 Play is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 425 or Snapdragon 427, depending on the carrier it’s sold from. For example, Virgin Mobile, Boost Mobile, and Sprint sell the model with the Snapdragon 427, whereas the rest — including Verizon — sell the slightly-weaker Snapdragon 425 model. Ours has the Snapdragon 425, but all models come with 2GB of RAM.

Performance is average — apps will open slowly, and there’s a bit of stutter when scrolling in apps like Twitter or Facebook. But moving throughout the user interface, like the Settings menu and the home screen, didn’t pose any problems or lag.

The Moto E5 Play actually scored higher than the Moto G6 Play (41,158 on AnTuTu), which is more expensive. Benchmark scores aren’t the best measure of real-world performance, though, and we didn’t run into any problems that would categorize the Moto E5 Play as unusable. We were generally able to complete day-to-day tasks without much frustration. It’s when you want to do multiple things within a short time period that the phone starts to frustratingly slow down. If you’re not a power user, we think you’ll be satisfied here.

There’s only 16GB of storage on the Moto E5 Play, which is easy to fill up in a short amount of time. Thankfully, a MicroSD card slot lets you add up to 128GB of additional storage if you need it.

The Moto E5 Play ships with Android 8.0 Oreo, and the only updates you can expect to see are for security. Motorola confirmed to Digital Trends that the Moto E5 Play will not receive Android P, so that might be something to consider before purchasing the device. Android P is the next version of Android that’s set to release around the end of August.

Regardless, the software experience is almost stock Android — uncluttered and simple to use. There’s very little bloatware, with just your standard suite of Google apps pre-installed, and you can swipe right from the home screen to access the Google Feed. Press and hold the home button to activate Google Assistant.

There is the Moto app that’s standard on all Motorola phones, but not all the features are available here. We’re sad to see some of our favorite gestures not included — such as making a chopping gesture twice to turn on the flashlight, or twisting the phone twice to open the camera. You can touch the screen with three fingertips to capture a screenshot, put your phone face down to activate do not disturb mode, pick up the phone to stop ringing, and swipe down to the left or right of the screen to shrink the screen for one-handed mode. That’s about it. We didn’t use any of these features.

Thankfully Moto Display is available, so you can see notifications fading in and out of the lockscreen. There’s also access to the blue-light filter, and Attentive Display, which keeps the screen on while you’re looking at it.

As with most budget smartphones, the camera on the Moto E5 Play struggles in low-light environments.  The 8-megapixel rear camera does take passable photos in broad daylight — they can look a little flat sometimes — but there are some surprisingly good photos that come through.

The 5-megapixel front-facing camera isn’t too impressive for selfies either. Look close and every photo looks blurry and grainy. The built-in Face Beauty feature also made us look strange — it seemed to have airbrushed not only our skin (to make us look more pale) but also our eyebrows and pieces of our hair. Not very flattering.

With a 2,800mAh battery powering the Moto E5 Play, we were able to get a full day out of the smartphone. This includes accessing email notifications, using social media and productivity apps, taking photos, along with text messaging. On average, we found that our device was at about 85 percent by noon (having taken it off the charger at around 8:30 a.m.), and by the end of the workday at 5 p.m., it was around 74 percent.

By about 10 p.m., the phone hit 68 percent and that was after catching up on apps like Instagram, Twitter, and news on our commute home. With lighter phone usage, the phone could definitely last into the second day, so you don’t have to worry about it dying on you before the day is over.

The Moto E5 Play isn’t available unlocked yet, so you’ll have to purchase it through a carrier, where it varies in price. At T-Mobile, the Moto E5 Play is available for $150 — with the option of putting $6 down and paying $6 per month for 24 months. At Verizon, it’ll cost $70, whereas Boost Mobile sells it for $80. Under Cricket Wireless, it’s known as the Moto E5 Cruise, and it will only set you back $40, but you need to sign up for a new line or upgrade your existing device. By transferring your number, you could even get the device for free.

You can also purchase it from Best Buy — but it is a bit pricier — ranging from $95 to $130 depending on the carrier it’s locked in with. Xfinity Mobile sells it for $120, but it’s the most expensive on Sprint, which is carrying the phone for $192. Keep in mind that many of the more expensive versions have the Snapdragon 427 processor, which is slightly better. We don’t think the performance difference will be noticeable though.

Yes, if you’re eyeing a Moto E5 Play that’s more than $130, we recommend taking a look at the Moto E5 Plus. It has a massive 5,000mAh battery, more RAM, and a slightly better processor that should provide an overall better experience. It also comes with the useful Moto gestures.

Our favorite budget pick is the Nokia 6.1 for $270, with the standard Moto G6 following it swiftly behind. There’s also the Honor 7X worth considering, since it’s only $200. You can learn more in our best cheap phones guide.

The Moto E5 Play should last you around two years. Since it’s made of plastic, you don’t have to worry about shattering it compared to all-glass phones.
