A number of Motorola devices surfaced on TENAA
hinting at nearing Chinese launch. The devices in question are the already
introduced Moto Z3 Play and Moto E5 Play.
In a plot twist, the Moto Z3 Play for the Chinese
market might come with better hardware. According to the listing, the device
will sport a Snapdragon 660 instead of Snapdragon 636 and also receives a
slight bump in the battery department - from 3,000 mAh on the original model to
3,300 mAh on the Chinese version. The rest of the hardware remains
pretty much the same with the available memory configurations being 4GB + 64GB
and 6GB + 128GB.
On the contrary, the Moto E5 Plus in China features
smaller battery compared to the international model - 4,850 mAh vs. 5,000 mAh.
But it compensates with better memory configurations - instead of 2GB/16GB and
3GB/32GB, the Chinese market will get 3GB/32GB, 4GB/128GB and 6GB/128GB
variants.
The TENAA listing says 1.4GHz
octa-core processor, which contradicts the global model's specs sheet. So it's
probably safe to assume that instead of Snapdragon 425, we might be looking at
Snapdragon 430. The rest of the specs should be the same.
