The new smartphone is accompanied by a new camera MotoMod developed in association with Hasselblad. Earlier in the month of June, Lenovo introduced Moto Z and Moto Z Force to the world at the Tech World conference in San Francisco.
Moto Z series instantly shot into the limelight, thanks to its innovative semi-modular design. Lenovo has carried forward that modular design in the Z Play and has made it more affordable than its flagship sibling. It supports the entire portfolio of MotMod accessories. Apart from that, it offers most capacious battery (3510mAh) a Moto smartphone has ever offered. Unlike Moto Z and Moto Z Force, it comes with a headphone jack.
The Moto Z Play features a glass panel on both front and back fitted to the metal frame. It comes with a 5.5-inch 1080P AMOLED display and a fingerprint sensor. Under the hood, it features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 which has eight Cortex – A53 cores all of them clocked at 2GHz.
