Everyone praised specifically the battery life on the Z play, so Lenovo decides to put a much smaller battery into the successor, genius....

[ashiksorel]

$500 for a Snapdragon 625 SOC Phone? Are you kidding me? There are so many better deals out there.

[thescrubmain]

so it's basically an upgraded moto g5 plus?

[DragonFanngg]

and then people complain OP5 is expensive!

[brandoferr]

Battery is really good on the Moto Z2 Play. I've had the phone for a week and very happy with it. Let's hope it keeps me happy!

@androidauthority I am waiting for the full review of moto z2 play, please release it soon and also please talk about the build quality and the looks of the phone

[stevelawson]

lenovo's absolutely killed the look of Motorola phones... it's hideous! I want my old Moto back!

[MiracleWarriors]

It has 64 G of internal memory and not just 32G.
This phone is really good with some specs such as internal memory, ram screen quality and design normally only available in phones that are much more expensive.

anyone know when Android 7 is gonna come to the moto G4 play?

[Mrorganic]

is the phone has mirrorlink in to the setting to conet with car radio head unit

[DavidManvell]

why are they showing this phone in the video without its back cover on? without the back cover you see a huge camera bump which is not there when the cover is on.

[ThehappyHinduof]

is it possible to get the Z2 play launcher on the original?

[jameshiggins]

Do a video comparing this phone to the Moto Z Play please!

[RomanOnARiver]

After my experience with the Moto X Pure Edition and it's poor update support, I very much doubt I'll consider this (or any Moto) in the near future.

[emmanuelrodriguez]

Im having a hard time deciding between the moto z2 play or the huawei p10... which should i buy?

[nafeeahnaf]

it looks so good!better than tge last moto

[marryeventson]

is this the one using Samsung s7 camera?

[CarlosMedina]

$500 is Lenovo's way of saying "please don't buy this phone...we made the last one so good, that it canibalised our sales of the actual phone we wanted to sell you."

[anoopbharat]

Its good if not better.Been getting random boots since day one!!At least in India we did not get the style shell included(which is expected to be available from July 30).I am not a hardcore gamer so for me this works after all i moved from an iPhone 6s.If you love thick smartphones this makes a great choice.Since only Apple and Samsung are good at after sales.:P

[heyimelouis]

The design feels a little off though 😢😢
