Motorola G5 Play Price

I found this phone available for $0/month on contract through Verizon (July 19). I bought this phone prepaid like a year ago. Came out in what 2017? This is in the US.
I personally hate this phone. Power button on bottom not my thing, I still confuse them.
Battery is good. Screen is good. Surprisingly quick…seems good but I just hate it. I want to like it. Don’t like bloatware, random freezes, privacy issues, FORCED updates/popups at worst times and I can’t make a call unless I restart the phone. (Otherwise I echo and sound on the moon) Service sucks in my whole town. (Not phones fault probably)
This DOES NOT have a speaker!!! I thought that was standard these days, but apparently not. (Yes yes it uses the main earpiece as a speaker whatever…not acceptable. That’s for calls only in my opinion (kinda important), I can see that getting some lint in it or breaking then poof no sound indefinitely. Not acceptable for $200 pricetag, many good USED phones to choose from 1000x better then this)
I like LG and Samsungs OS more pleasing and easy to use.
This phone is good for a nonpower user or that plans on using just as a hotspot for other devices or someone on a budget but I don’t recommend this phone over the competition.
Thanks for your opinion. At least others will learn from this your experience.
