I've had the Moto Z2 Play for 2 weeks now and I'm extremely pleased with its performance, the elegant look and manageability of controls. This upgrade has features from my previous Motorola phones that are valuable and practical plus extras that upgrade to latest technology. From the battery life going beyond 24 hours without charging, to the sharp and clear sound when you are on a call, the camera with slow motion capture, etc.. I can use the plug-in earphones or the Bluetooth. It has easy access to front-face controls and the screen is big enough to display all my most-used apps. The hand wave to turn on and voice commands are two of my favorites. I believe I made the right selection with the help of the sales associate and paid a good price. It's not a flagship phone with a big tag, but it feels like one.

I do a fair amount of camping and it's nice to be able to stream some Netflix at night when I'm suffering from insomnia. The projector mod makes this 100x nicer because instead of squinting at a tiny screen I'm laying back on my air mattress watching a 40+" screen. The phone itself is nothing to write home about. I use a Pixel 2 XL as my daily driver. But when I'm out and about I load up some stuff on the micro SD card and if I have lte where I'm camping I can stream all night if I feel like it. I appreciate Moto's very light Android customization.

Constantly being asked (by iPhone owners who take the same pictures I am taking) what I have because the camera is great alongside the video recording components. I upgraded from the discontinued Moto X2 (replaced 3X) and gave into this. This is the closest I have been. But this is way better. I just insert an extra memory card and I am good to go. The turbo usb-c charges up the phone fast even though daily use doesn't kill it. I bought a protective cover (soft) and haven't taken it off and see the paint on the phone has chipped quite a bit, but cosmetics doesn't deter the phone's functions. Haven't yet tried the mods. I paid in full for the phone to avoid the contract and plan which wasn't as great as the prepaid Verizon plan. Because it's already equipped with a Verizon Sim there is no need to purchase a new Sim. Just set it up and pay for the plan you want. I'd most likely get another if this one gave out on me. It's been about 4 mos.

Excellent phone that would be a mistake to overlook. Screen: very good. Not quite as sharp as Samsung S7 or S8 but plenty good enough Speed - much better than I expected. Snapdragon 626 CPU and a clean version of Android go together like old friends. Everything is fluid and smooth, apps launch quickly, and no lag. Battery - insanely good. I'm regularly getting 2 work days out of this thing. And the charging speed is awesomely fast. 20 minutes of charging while in the shower and 15 minutes in the evening before bed is probably enough to keep the phone running forever. Looks - like a premium phone. Not cheap feeling at all. Camera - pretty good. Bright light shots are nice, if maybe a tad oversharpened. Low lights shots do get blurry/grainy but still useable. Software - awesome! The Moto actions are genuinely useful, Moto has the best driving mode on any platform, and the lack of a skin on Android is awesome! Other - the fingerprint sensor is super fast and the fingerprint sensor navigation should be on every phone Mods - surprisingly cool. The JBL speakers sound awesome, the battery mod easily makes a 3 day runtime, the style shells are very nice, and even the projector is pretty sweet. Negatives - not many. It is not waterproof. It is physically very large for the size of the screen, kind of an old-school design with large bezels. There aren't a ton of mods yet and the ones out there are kind of pricey. With last years S7 getting close to the Z2 Play in price some people might be tempted by the waterproof design and better camera of the Samsung. Overall, I'm super happy with the phone and would buy it again!

Coming from the Moto x pure edition, this is a substantial upgrade. Screen is great, battery life is unbelievable (with occasional charges in the car and in the morning, I haven seen it go below 70%), it's way faster than my old phone. I haven used Moto mods yet, but I intend to. The only downfall I can see is the lack of accessories for it. Had to go through Amazon for a screen protector.
