Why don't you return it being a defective piece or just trolling ? This is one of the best buy which beats many recent releases and am totally satisfied with its performance in all departments.

Out of the box, I liked the Moto Z Play. The size is larger than the Moto G3 I upgraded from, which was a plus for me as I use my phone for a lot of different things. I also loved the rapid charge and the longer battery life, which was the chief (and probably only) complaint I had with the Moto G3. I was constantly charging my previous phone. Depending on usage, it will stay charged a full 24-48 hours. It also takes beautiful pictures, even with the rear-facing camera...which is a bonus.
But that's where my praises for this phone end.
1. The rapid charger already seems to be failing. With minimal charger usage (I just purchased the phone about a month ago), it sometimes falls right out of the phone. Though it can be inserted backward or forward facing (unlike the old standard chargers), it only works in one direction now.
2. On the topic of the charger, while the rapid charge is great, finding a spare or a car charger has been challenging.
3. Constant software updates. I get the software update notice 15+ times per day, despite doing it because I was sick of the message. The only difference was the horrid new boot animation, which I loathe. And it plays through it twice every time I start the phone.
4. Dropped calls. I know it is not my provider, as my husband has the same service and never drops calls. I never dropped calls with my Moto X or Moto G3. Sometimes it shows "no cellular service" when my husband has service in the same exact places. My previous Moto phones never did that.
5. Sometimes I have to power off the phone and power it back on if I leave a wi-fi network and am on a cellular network to get the phone to "see" the cellular network. Talk about frustrating and time consuming, not to mention I have to endure that horrid boot animation again, and the software update notice again.
6. The micro SD does not come in the phone, and is quite flimsy. The tiny tray where it is inserted is a nightmare to get open. If you've never dealt with a micro SD card before, especially a flimsy one, you could end up easily breaking the phone or snapping the card.
7. Battery saver mode, which I do occasionally use even with the long-lasting battery the Moto Z Play offers, is not a simple switch on action from the drop-down menu at the top of the screen. You actually have to go into settings to turn it on unless the phone prompts you itself with the option...and it often does not.
8. Speaking of settings, turning the Moto Z Play all the way down puts it into Do Not Disturb mode automatically. I hate this. With my previous Moto, I kept the phone on silent at night, but it still vibrated. So, I either have the option of listening to notifications from my apps all night long, or potentially missing an important call.
Overall, it's a pretty phone that takes very nice pictures and has the best battery life of any phone I've ever had, but it has a world of issues. Would I buy it again? No.

Almost 9 months i used this device . It fully satisfied me. I don't use very heavily . But my calling 1 hour watching video n pictures 2 hours, and surfing n chatting 1 hour ., Per day I download any video or films around 500 to 700 mb and my device battery remains 50% at night . Camera quality in day light good but in door poor not so effective. Slightly slippery phone i recommend must use back cover . Thank you. It's my honest opinion. This device i will use at list 2 n half year.

I bought this mobile recently. After open and switch on the mobile, it asked to update software 5 time's (marshmallow to 7.0 and 7.1.1). After update of software battery will decrease gradually ( at night 11pm battery percentage was 💯, and after wokup 7 am it decreased to 71%). While charging mobile also heating like hell. Battery draining and heating is my problems with mobile.. please give me solution for these problems. Thank you

The phone does not have its own gallery, has to install a third party gallery. Also, the phone gets heated while charging.There are many other minor issues.

I switched to Moto Z play from HTC one around 2 months ago.
The pros:
Marvelous battery with screen on time exceeding 7 hrs..
Performance is superb with the stock Android interface.
Super amolid display is nice.
Moto mods are a plus although I didn't use yet.
Turbocharge is really handy when u are in short of time.
However there are some things that I didn't like
In my opinion Moto Z play cons include:
- Vibration very weak as compared to HTC one (HTC vibration was so strong that I would set my alarm only on vibration and still wake even if z phone is at z end of z room, while in Moto Z play vibration is so weak that u barely feel it event when it's on your pocket).
- Call log lacks lots of functionality of HTC one which is much better.
- Adaptive screen brightness is awful. Causes abrupt change in brightness with slight change in illumination which is really annoying.
The camera is decent.
