As one of the first models offered in the Lenovo era of Motorola, the Moto Z Play is certainly a departure. Not only is it a sleek and sexy experience that looks sharp in hand, but it’s also flexible, too.
The Moto Z Play runs Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow and features a 5.5-inch display at 1920 x 1080 pixels. Powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor with 3GB RAM, the handset gives users 32GB of internal space; a microSD expansion card slot allows for up to 2TB extra storage.
Rounding things out, the Z Play comes with a 16-megapixel rear camera and front-facing 5-megapixel shooter. Both cameras include extra hardware and software to allow for better pictures. A 3,510mAh battery, which offers TurboPower charging, is quite generous and gets users into two days of usage without batting an eye.
Where things get really interesting for the Moto Z Play comes in the form of MotoMods. Designed by third party brands, these are add-on components which snap directly onto the back of the phone. Said accessories include a JBL speaker, Incipio power pack, and a Hasselblad 10X optical zoom camera.
Sold as an unlocked phone in the US, Verizon also offers a carrier-branded take on the handset. Dubbed the Moto Z Play Droid, it’s essentially the same device, locked to Big Red’s network.
