If you buy one of these potential turkeys keep in mind that you must return to Costco within 90 days. Lots of issues since China bought Motorola now owned by Lenova and don’t expect security updates or OS updates ever.

@myisland Funny, your comments are the exact opposite of many credible reviews of this phone, rating it one of the best in its price range.

If you buy on-line and add $80.01to your shopping, you can use a $25 off $250+ CPN. Each code is unique (and only valid once per Costco.com account), but plenty of codes are still available at this thread (and you may be able to find your own at your local Costco B&M):

Security updates and OS updates or the lack of them are not usually addressed in new phone reviews. Customer reviews reveal more about poor support.

MISTERCHEAP

@myisland thus far you have linked to nothing credible. Every major website that sells this phone shows overwhelmingly good reviews from users. Show me consistent/credible information about customer reviews revealing poor support, not 4 or 5 isolated ones. Sorry, I think you’re blowing a lot of smoke. This phone was released 7 months ago, simply makes no sense what you are posting.

Guess I shouldn’t have read the complaints on the Lenovo.com forums. Maybe complaints were for another Motorola phone sold by them but I wasn’t impressed.

Moto has a reputation for being slow when it comes to rolling out Android updates. I have the Moto G4 Play and I am still awaiting the promised Android Nougat update, despite Nougat being released in August, 2016. In addition, I got the August 2017 Android critical security update a few weeks ago, so about 3 months after it was released.

That said, this is an issue for most non-Google Android phone manufacturers and comes with the territory if you buy a non-Google or non-Samsung flagship phone.

By the way, I do like the (G4 Play) phone and think it was a good value for the price.
