MobileTechTalk The Moto Z Play is the more mid-tier version of the Z line up announced in June 2016. The Moto Z Play is available from their site from £370, however a 64GB version isn’t available for the UK currently – unless you purchase through Gearbest!
The Moto Z Play utilises what just might turn out to be the best bang-for-the-buck chipset in 2016, the Snapdragon 625. It delivers superb daily performance for apps and games, whilst sipping battery life. Aided in that with a 1080p display rather than a QHD display which in our opinion isn’t required, and you’ve got a great smartphone experience.
Additionally, Motorola are known for getting their updates speedily and as such security patching and new OS versions from Google should follow quite quickly from their initial release.

Additionally, the Moto Z Play has additional ‘mods’ that can be purchased and attached to the Moto Z line up as extensions of its capabilities. There are battery packs, stands, projectors, speakers and an additional more “prosumer” camera mod. Unlike other smartphones, where the modifications require powering off the device, here you simply snap the mod onto the backface, and away you go.
