Moto Z2 Play hands-on

2017-06-29
it hasn't been a whole year since its predecessor was released but I honestly don't think that Lenovo cares at this point hey guys John be here with Android authority and this is a quick hands-on look at the Moto easy to play I'm not going to lie I'm loving the design of the z2 play it feels superior compared to last year's model and it's also thinner skinnier this time around it has also a 30 or build construction it just seems not as fragile as lasher's model and that's because it features a unibody aluminum construction so it feels super sturdy in the hand and the same time too it's lighter and thinner like I said now the only compromise that's made to the handset given now it has a thinner body is of course the battery that's in here compared to last year's model this only has a 3000 milliamp power one versus the 35 10 milliamp power battery of the original so who knows how it's going to perform but again with all the optimizations with the software and also the processor it might be the same if not more but regardless they do not offer a moto mod pack which gives it a thirty four ninety milliamp hour battery through Turbo Power pack you could get so if you're interested in battery that's going to be solution for you but it's nice to see that they've kept the three in half millimeter has a jack you have the USB type-c port the same modular design coach as the other hand steps and the fingerprint sensor on here has been slightly tweaked it's now more in an oval shape and it's recess now I also don't have many complaints about the display on here it's a 5.5 inch 1080p AMOLED display has a lot of great qualities you have good details it's short saturated colors exceptional viewing angles the only concern I have is maybe it's performance in outdoor conditions but right now it looks really nice it's definitely in mid ranger territory because it features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 626 processor you have three gigabytes of RAM 32 gigabytes of internal storage and a micro SD card slot so the performance out of the box here seems good it's running Android 7.1.1 new it has very little customizations you can see some of the influences from Verizon because this is a Verizon exclusive but besides that it has all the typical features of Motorola so you have things like the active display so it breeds some useful information and besides that it's pretty much a stock experience now I'm not going to go in too much detail about the rest of the phone because this is a quick hands-on look as far as the camera is concerned here it sticks out in the rear here you have a 12 megapixel do autofocus rear camera with an F 1.7 aperture lens you have a dual LED flash and up to 4k video recording with this on the front we have a 5 megapixel snapper with the wide angle F 2.2 lens and also features a dual LED flash if you're interested in 10 set just know that it is Verizon exclusive but they will release an unlocked version later in the summer and that one's going to retail for $500 now who knows whether or not it's worth $500 we'll be doing a lot more testing on this handset but you guys won't learn more about the Moto G to play you could check out our website and read authority calm this is John VIII signing off
