Moto Z2 Play (stylized as moto z² Play) is an Android smartphone developed by Motorola Mobility, as the successor to 2016's Moto Z Play. As with other smartphones in the Moto Z series, it supports Motorola's magnetically attachable "MotoMods" modules.[1][2]
Specifications
The Z2 Play features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 626 system-on-chip, backed by 3 or 4 GB of RAM. It comes with either 32 or 64 GB memory, with microSD expansion. The phone does not have much design changes from its predecessor. Some notable changes include a metal backplate, instead of the glass back used previously, a slight reduction in thickness (-1mm), and change of the shape of the home button from square to oval. The handset comes with a 1080p AMOLED display. It does not have any water resistance rating, but does have a 3.5mm headphone jack. The camera department has been improved as well, sporting a 12 MP sensor with f/1.7 aperture, but lacks OIS. It comes with Android 7.1.1 "Nougat", with a few software tweaks.
Reception
CNET noted it's strong battery life, clever software and magnetic Moto Mod add-ons as the Motorola Z2 Play's main strengths, while also saying that it felt uncomfortable without a cover and complained about poorer battery life as compared to its predecessor.[2]
Pocket-lint praised its battery life, fingerprint sensor's gesture controls and the processor's smoothness, but they also felt that the OnePlus 5 gives a better run for money and that not all MotoMods fit perfectly.[3]
