What these size differences mean
Calculated from the dimensions shown, rounded to 0.1 mm and 1 g. Percentages use the smaller measurement as the reference. Fold and rotation settings affect the dimensions compared.
- Both have the same listed width (75 mm) at the displayed precision. Check this difference against the width of your current device and pocket opening.
- moto g is 0.6 mm (0.4% relative to moto g play) taller. This describes the body outline; screen diagonal alone does not tell you the overall size.
- moto g play is 0.1 mm (1.2% relative to moto g) thicker. Cases and camera protrusions can change the clearance you need.
- Both have the same listed weight (185 g).
Use these figures to compare physical size. They do not establish one-handed reach, pocket fit, durability or an overall winner.
