The Moto Z2 Play was announced earlier this month.
The successor to the original Z Play comes with a few design changes, spec
upgrades (and downgrade) and a US$ 499 price.
Scheduled to be available for purchase this summer,
the Moto Z2 will also make its way to China. According to industry insiders, the Moto
Z2 Play will sell for the same price as the original Moto Z Play in China. That
is ¥ 3299 (US$ 484), which is just US$ 15 less than the international price.
The Moto Z2 Play has a 5.5-inch FHD AMOLED display
and is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 626 SoC. It is available with 4GB of
RAM and 64GB of storage and also has a 3GB RAM + 32GB model. There is a 12MP
f/1.7 dual-pixel sensor on the rear and a 5MP f/2.2 shooter with dual LED flash
up front. The downgrade comes in the smaller 3000 mAh capacity cut down from
3500 mAh battery in favor of a thinner body. The Z2 Play comes with Android
7.1.1 and has NFC and a fingerprint scanner. It also supports old and new Moto
Mods.
Earlier, we saw an image of a Moto Z2 Play running
ZUI. Lenovo has not confirmed if this will be a China exclusive but that is
highly likely. If this happens, then we should expect other Motorola devices
launching in China to run ZUI.
