The Moto Z2 Play has finally been announced, after many weeks of leaks such as this one. The Moto Z2 Play is Moto’s first flagship phone of 2017 and as such has the specifications you would likely expect. Design wise it is similar to its predecessor but is a whole millimeter thinner. This is because unfortunately, the rumors of a smaller 3000mAh battery compared to last year’s 3510mAh battery were true. The rumor also stated Moto had made this decision as they wanted to make the phone thinner.
Specifications wise there are a few bumps such as more RAM, a 10% faster Snapdragon 625 processor and larger storage options. The full specifications can be seen in the below table.
