To recap
The G6 Play offers a whole lot of goodness for its modest asking price. Its real win is battery life, which goes on and on. However, such capacity seems at odds with its limited power credentials. That’s the main qualm we have with the Play: there’s the ‘regular’ G6 and larger G6 Plus, both of which are more logical purchases, despite their increased asking prices.
