Lenovo’s next modular Moto, the Moto Z2 Play, is out in full glory, along with a set of upgraded Moto Mods. The new Z2 Play is just 6mm slim and consequently houses a smaller 3000mAh battery (as compared to 3400mAh unit in its predecessor).

The design is quite similar to the Moto G5, but the Z2 Play, as stated above, is slimmer and flaunts a full metal build. And the Moto Mods that cling to it magnetically will communicate using the 16 Pogo Pins on the rear. (हिंदी में पढ़ें)
