Motorola - Moto Z3 Play with 32GB Memory Cell Phone (Unlocked) - Deep Indigo

I've wanted this phone for 2 years and it was worth the wait only down side is not Moto mod(battery)

Geek squad told me, customer don't know this but for them to talk to me I would have to purchase insurance otherwise I have to talk to manufacturer. I have bought other appliances and been very happy with service. But now I will be taking my bussisnes elsewhere. Not happy...

The Moto Z3 Play 32GB is a perfect budget phone if you want something with an excellent AMOLED display, clean Android with very few Moto apps, fast enough for daily tasks, very good cameras, and a beautiful looking phone. The 32GB of storage was my only concern when I bought the Z3 Play but, I got a fast 64GB SD Card to expand the storage and, now I have plenty of storage on my phone for all my apps and files. I was worried because the Z3 Play did not have the SD Card Format As Internal option enable in Android 8.1 Oreo (the Android installed from the box) but, I was very happy to find out that as soon as the Z3 got the update to Android 9 Pie, the SD Card Format As Internal option was enabled, making possible to expand the storage for apps, files, and Android system. You will need to update the phone several times to get the Android 9 Pie because the Z3 Play comes from the box without the current update from Motorola. By the time of this review, the last update I did after setting up the phone was the November 2019 security patch from Motorola. It took me literally like 6 or more updates to get the last one. Talking about the store again, be aware that you will need a fast SD Card, preferably an A2 class (fast for apps), for less impact on the speed of the storage for apps but, if you get a good fast SD Card and format as internal, you will not be disappointed. You will have a very nice capable phone for much less than the 64GB Z3 Play and still with plenty of storage for your apps. I recommend getting a case as quickly as possible because this is a very slippery phone. You can find plenty of cases online and, If you want to eventually get some Moto Mods, you can find some cases mod-friendly too. I'm using my Z3 Play on the T-Mobile network and, I can say that the signal has been very good so far. No drop calls or any other signal related problems at all. This phone has a good WiFi connection also and is fast too. In resume, I recommend getting the Moto Z3 Play to anyone looking for a good looking and fast phone, with excellent specs for the price, expandable storage capability, beautiful AMOLED display, very good cameras, and clean Android experience and believe me you will not be disappointed.

I'm a tech guy and love the latest devices. But let's face facts, Processor speed on devices has not increased much over the last few years. Displays are only incrementally better. Storage memory is a game changer and is getting faster and cheaper every day. Long battery life and quick charging are at the top of my list to stay connected. I don't need to tell you the specs, you can see them online. The "killer app" is that the Moto Z3 starts at half the price of a Samsung or Apple Device. Motorola have simply followed the 80/20 rule. To get above today's 80th percentile of tech you will spend exponentially more for little gain. This phone just 12 to 24 months ago would have be mind blowing and in the top 90th percentile. Now it is simple "great" and cost effective. There are only two three devices that are better at any price. A slightly better spec device today is $1,200. At this sale price, it was a steal at $200. Grab one, put it your carry on bag and go spend the other $1,000 on an epic trip somewhere life changing.

Ok, my last 2 phones were a Galaxy S5 and a HTC10. Got it! No problem I understand, those were older generation phones. However, once I turned on the MOTO Z3 Play and started getting all of the Androids update (9.0), I was amazed by the speed, reponsiveness and interface not to mention the quality built of this amazing phone. This might not be a so called "flagship" phone but, for the price it's most definitely the best bergain I had in years when purchasing a NEW phone. YES, it's a NEW phone for only a fraction of what you will end up paying if you purchase the other brands. I wasn't a huge fan of Motorola till I purchased the MOTO Z3 Play. Thank you Bestbuy for this incredible deal.

I have used this as my primary phone for a week. Love it. A nice surprise is that this screen is very fingerprint resistant, so instead of cleaning my screen daily, it's minimal effort every 4 days or so if that. This phone once it upgraded (automatically) all the security patches, went from 8.0 to 9.0 Pie with an okay click from me. The 9.0 is an enormous improvement from 7.1 Nougat. I also screenshot a lot and enjoy the Moto shortcut of 3 fingers touching the screen to do this. All my apps load faster than before and the only thing I am missing is a Memo app which I can download easily. This phone has a 15 volt cord for Turbocharging, an accurate name for my charging today from 45% to 94% in 45 minutes (not in use but while on and receiving texts). I didn't expect to use the fingerprint unlock feature but that is how I open my phone over 90% of the time now. Facial recognition is offered as well though I haven't used that yet. Calls are clear as expected and now I can also send and receive pictures and group texts without turning on data as I had done before. And and all I had to do was take the GSM SIM card out of my old Samsung phone and insert it into this one. This phone has really exceeded my expectations. Great job Moto, and BestBuy.

When it comes first time it was overpriced. But for $150 it one of the best phones. Camera is not the best, withot OIS, but for this price it makes very good pictures (not in Low Light). This phone unlocked for all providers. I use it with AT&T prepaid. And call sound much better than in unlocked Galaxy S8. For T-Mobile it should be good - it support 71 band. For my usage battery enough for the whole the day. And this phone support fast charging. This phone has also minuses. 1) Fragile front and back glass. This phone uses old Gorilla Glass 3. 2) Lack of 3.5 audio jack (it has USB-C to 3.5 Jack converter in the box)

I wanted this phone when it first came out but the processor wasn't the greatest at the price point. I ended up getting a phone with higher specs for the same price. When I saw this phone was on sale during Xmas time I went ahead and purchased it. Now its become my daily driver even though I technically downgraded it doesn't feel like I did. All the games I play and apps I use work great on this phone. The processor is definitely fast enough and it's very responsive. The AMOLED display is wonderful. The form factor is perfect for my hands. Camera is good and it's even better with a different camera app, also there's a camera mod which I plan on getting. The battery is decent. It could be better with yet another mod. The mono speaker isn't very loud but I bought the jbl speaker mod and it sounds amazing! I love all the mods. Overall I'm very happy with purchase. Totally worth it and I highly recommend it.
