Moto Z2 Play review

10 October 2017
Moto Z2 Play is at the helm of a new marketing strategy free of any Lenovo branding that may burden the series with unnecessary heritage. Navigating through the lucrative but overcrowded upper-midrange territory sure isn't easy, but a useful innovation as the Mods expansion, a Super AMOLED screen and class-leading camera may help the Z2 Play to cast an anchor.

        Average phone with higher price, with a odd camera bump.

                      £379 for a 626? Too expensive!

                        AnonD-276592, 12 Oct 2017I'm pretty sure I already read the review before. That's wh... moreToo expensive for the price range. They should not mention Splash & Dust Resistant since it is almost the same as not waterproof, the fact that when people see Splash & Water Resistant they will still say it is not fully waterproof or not waterproof at all. Battery is rather disappointing, a 3000mAh battery got 76hr endurance rating when XPERIA XA1 with ONLY 2300mAh battery got 72hr endurance rating, aye

                            A textbook case of why you should never compromise the battery capacity of a phone.

                            Moto Z2 Play with 3000 mAh: Endurance 76 hours
                            Moto Z Play with 3510 mAh: Endurance 100 hours

                                  From 100h battery life (Moto Z1 Play) to 76h (Moto Z2 Play). You can now see how much damage is done when a Chinese maker buys a reputable company. Only the name is Motorola, the rest in Chinese crap.

                                    Far too expensive at £379 RRP. Drop £100 and I will consider.

                                      With the change of generations battery endurance reduced by 25%.

                                      "But it's 1mm thinner."
