Motorola Moto Z2 Play 64 GB / 4 GB

The purity of the Android OS has been inherited by Moto smartphones since the time when the world-famous search giant Google seized the rights to the brand, and then transferred them to Lenovo. However, the second generation of the Motorola Moto Z Play smartphone designer is interesting not only because of the absence of a third-party proprietary shell.

The main "trump card" of the device is the support for external modules Moto Mods, which significantly "pump" the functionality of the device. So, the Hasselblad True Zoom overlay camera turns a smartphone into a full-fledged camera with a 10x optical zoom and optical image stabilization system. The Insta-Share Projector module allows you to broadcast an image from a smartphone up to 70" diagonally on the wall. The JBL Soundboost 2 speaker makes the mobile gadget the centre of attraction for music lovers. Finally, the Turbo Power Pack with a built-in 3000 mAh battery doubles the battery life of the smartphone.

Flagship ambitions

Motorola Moto Z2 Play is worthy of attention without all of the above. The smartphone competes almost on an equal footing with the current flagships, although its hardware platform cannot be called particularly performant right off the bat. It is based on a Snapdragon 626 processor overclocked to 2.2 GHz, which is accompanied by 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of permanent memory. The slot for a microSD card to increase free space is taken out separately from the two seats for SIM-cards. The device works quickly and clearly responds to all user commands, even if there are many running applications in the background.

fast charging

The user should expect 5-6 hours of SuperAMOLED screen activity in mixed usage. This is slightly less than its predecessor (Motorola Moto Z Play), but still enough for a day of work without recharging. In which case, support for fast charging technology comes to the rescue — 3000 mAh battery tanks are filled with energy by half in just half an hour at the outlet.

Standing out from the crowd

In the “naked” form, the main camera lens protrudes significantly from the smartphone (resolution 12 MP, maximum aperture f / 1.7). You can hide it under the “clothing” of interchangeable back covers for every taste and colour, or under external Moto Mods modules. Their support makes the model truly unique and uncontested, allowing the smartphone owner to stand out from the grey mass of conventional devices.
