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
Solid design and robust body, Quick modular setup, Good camera
Benchmarks a little low, Can become expensive with Moto Mods
As a premium mid-range device, the Moto Z Play is a tad underpowered, with other lesser priced offerings producing a similar smartphone experience. If, however, you add the Moto Mod system into the mix, the Moto Z Play begins to show its worth.Unfortunate...

Best-in-class battery life, Good camera, Customisation through Moto Mods
Snapdragon 625 is slow
The Moto Z Play is a well built smartphone with very good battery life, and that's what you buy this phone for. However, you will be compromising on speed with the Snapdragon 625 SoC. It's a good phone for those who don't want to compromise majorly on cam...
Fantastic battery life, Support for mods, Solid performer
Mediocre camera, Expensive for the specs, Routine design
At Rs 24,999, the Moto Z Play might strike some as being expensive for the spec sheet it offers. After all, there are the likes of the Lenovo Z2 Plus, the LeEco Le Max 2 and the Xiaomi Mi 5 that come with much better hardware on paper at comparative and e...
Good, Sturdy construction, Crisp display, Good cameras, Long battery life, Compatible with Moto Mods
No Wi-Fi ac, Slightly unwieldy
At Rs. 24,999, the Moto Z Play is flying dangerously close to the current favourite, the OnePlus 3. Let's not forget the Asus Zenfone 3 and the Honor 8 too, both of which offer excellent all-round performance. The Moto Z Play does hold its own in all depa...
Amazing Battery Life, Great Build Quality, Beautiful Screen, Dual Nano SIM Slot with Dedicated microSD Card Slot, Moto Glance Features, HDR Video with Amazing Stability (In 1080p)
Slow Shutter Speed and Focusing Issues, Big Bezels and Large Footprint, Fingerprint Sensor Doesn't Work as a Home Button, "Moto Z Play Review", 5 out of 5 based on 32 ratings,
The Moto Z Play is impressive. It is one of the best value for money handsets on the market up there with the OnePlus 3. The modular platform is quite innovative and more than that it allowed Lenovo to bring down the manufacturing cost of the smartphone w...
