The New York skyline may be nice but KC's skyline has a special place in my heart.

Remember when the Z2 Play and the Z Play had a headphone jack? Feeling old yet?

General appeal:
*3000 MaH battery (long batter life and US version will come with additional battery attachment)
*Big screen, while still following Moto mod design philosophy
(this one is kinda big, because Moto couldn't have known that screen size was going to shift in design this way when they promised 3 years of "All the current mods will fit your phone in the Z series" mantra)
*Finger print on the the left side (had to be done to accommodate screen size and still be able to use mods on back)
*Better/Bigger Amoled 18:9 display
*Slightly better camera and faster processeser (to be expected)

A few gripes:
*Glass back, but no wireless charging.
*No headphone jack, you know, because reasons.

Overall, this will appeal to you if you like some of the "BIG" features in the 2018 moto line-up, but want a mid-range price point.
This is perfect for "I want decent specs, but don't want to pay for top-of-the-line, and don't care about a lot of bells/whistles, but want the option for some of the bells and a few of the whistles"
If you want a top tier phone...it may be worth it to get something higher priced, but this phone fits in a market that desperately needs more mid range phones that companies like Apple and Samsung do not cater to.
