The editors didn't like
Back panel prone to fingerprints
Design again I'm still not feeling the flat back with the huge camera hump. It's an unnecessary design concession for modular accessories that aren't very useful yet
Processor lacks punch for high end gaming
Large top and bottom bezels
RAW files have issues in the corners that will be fixed by Hasselblad soon
Entire back of the phone is very glossy and is prone to fingerprints
Large
And not very pocketable with a peripheral attached
The Z Play is the thickest and heaviest phone in the Moto Z series and its fingerprint sensor
Annoyingly
Can be mistaken for a home button
Underwhelming rear camera
Fingerprint scanner is wonky
3.5mm headphones requires using the included dongle (can't charge while listening via wired headphones unless you find a Y cable)
Limited performance
Chunky design
Verizon exclusive version loaded with bloatware
Camera software interface could use some work
Poor placement of fingerprint sensor
Power button
Outperformed by other phones in its price range
No headphone jack. This phone is like a photo frame for your fingerprints. The fingerprint reader makes no sense
Verizon exclusive version loaded with bloatware, Camera software interface could use some work
It won't win any speed contests, but nice design, epic battery life, and an affordable price make this phone a winner...

So do I like this phone? It's really pretty good. Would I switch from iOS to this? No. I'm not a fan of larger phones because of the size of my hands and I purposely chose to go to iOS so that I could have the same experience that most of my readers do. I...
Despite its weaker internals and subpar camera, this mid-range phone feels like a flagship model, especially with its massive battery life. Definitely not one to overlook...
Slightly above normal price range for specs, Average, not excellent, camera quality, Not as powerful as other devices in its range, Photography by Patrick O'Rourke, Related: Moto Z Review: On the thin edge of innovation
Abstract: Lisa Gade reviews the Moto Z Play, which is available as the Droid edition on Verizon Wireless in the US and as a GSM unlocked phone direct from Motorola's website. This is the most affordable Moto Z model at $408, but it's looks, materials and full compa...
Nobody could blame you if you found the $999 price-tag attached to last year's Moto Z a bit of a gamble. In fact, it feels like that's the kind of user Motorola are trying to win over here. The Moto Z Play doesn't have the sharpest display or most-powerfu...
