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
If you're looking for a phone that's more than just a single piece of hardware, the Moto Z Play could be the glass slipper you've been looking for.(previously published in issue May 2017)...
Rock solid smartphone performance, It has a 3.5mm headphone jack, Great battery life, Optimized software and memory management, Support for Moto Mods, Convenient fingerprint scanner, Decent front firing speaker
Back design is hideous without a Moto Mod Shell, Unnecessary camera bump, and a camera that takes average quality photos, Expensive, Not water and dust resistant, Moto Mods cost a fortune to own,
Coming from the perspective of a diehard HTC fan, the Moto Z Play is what the HTC U Play should have been when it comes to hardware and features, Lenovo has definitely maintained Moto's reputation well by ensuring a stock Android experience while deliveri...

Outclassed and out specced by OnePlus 3, Camera focus is unreliable
The Moto Z Play continues the Z-series's promotion of some of the mobile world's weird and wonderful ideas. This is a bonafide modular phone.We're glad you can ignore the whole modular side, though - then you're left with a keenly-priced phone that lasts...
HARDWARE AND DESIGNHonestly, we do miss Motorola a lot. We never got a chance to review the older generations of the Moto X and this is our first Motorola review. From its very old RAZR line flip phones 10 years ago, Motorola has changed when it comes to...
Premium looking design, Reliable modular form factor, Monstrous battery life
Average benchmark results, Middling camera performance, Disproportionate pricing
The Moto Z Play uses a mid-range Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor clocked at 2.0GHz, 3GB RAM, and 32GB internal storage with microSD expandable storage support up to 2TB. Naturally, we'd like to compare the Z Play to other phones with similar standings/p...
Abstract: Flagship smartphones like the Samsung S7 and iPhone 7 are great, but they come with a hefty price tag. Midrange smartphones on the other hand, are significantly cheaper than their top-tier brethrens, but are often capable of delivering an experience that'...
Abstract: Launched together with the Moto Z, the Moto Z Play is its thicker and less expensive brother, but it's one powerful smartphone that is truly a valuable addition to the variety of midrangers in the market. With an outstanding battery life and a fast proces...

Abstract: Hace unas semanas os planteamos desde EsPCializados esta cuestión: ¿prefieres un móvil con una cámara potente o uno que tenga una gran autonomía? Lo cierto es que son dos de los elementos que más se suelen tener en cuenta a la hora de comprar un smartphon...
Pantalla Super AMOLED de 5.5" a 1080p, Chipset Snapdragon 635 decente, Cámara principal de 16MP y secundaria de 5MP, Conector USBC y accesorios, Construcción con excelentes materiales de alta calidad, Muy buena batería de 3510mAh de larga duración, Jack d
No tan buen procesador como el Moto Z full, Sin radio FM, Los MotoMod estan buenos pero no agregan demasiadas ventajas (todavía)
El Moto Z Play está en un lugar intermedio algo extraño en nuestro mercado, por un lado tiene un precio elevado comparado con otros flagships de las marcas rivales que cuentan con más prestaciones (sin contar los MotoMods), pero al mismo tiempo está perfe...
