Nice Moto Phone!
||Posted .Haven’t owned a Motorola product in a while I’m satisfied!

Wow! After 1 Week...
Posted .If there is a phone out there, I've had it. It's taken me a while to nail down what I need in a phone vs what I want in a phone. If what you need is: Great price, though a little cheaper would have been nice ($399-$429) - Still, it's only half of $1000!! Latest android version 8.1 Oreo 4gb RAM w/ 64gb internal storage AND Micro SD (up to 512gb) Super AMOLED display that is beautiful Fingerprint sensor (FAST and side placement is AWESOME and natural) Facial recognition (works like a charm, though not as fast as the OP6, it's accurate and close) Different color phone (not gray, gold, black, UGH!!!) Great upper mid-range processor and modem Superb battery life (I'm a moderate user, 2 days for me) Fast Battery Charge, I'm getting about 45-48% in 30 mins Excellent camera (f1.7, 1.4um, dual pixel auto-focus + 5mp depth sensing camera and some other fun tools) Dual Band Wi-Fi, with Bluetooth 5.0 And, while Moto Mods are great, they're not really for me ...Then this is your phone. The Indigo Blue / Glass is gorgeous and I've received numerous compliments already. If what you want is: Better, top of the range processor (intense gaming and multi-tasking) OIS, or other more purposeful 2nd cameras (wide-angle, telephoto, B&W, etc) More timely, monthly security updates 2k/4k higher resolution display Headphone jack ...Then you should look elsewhere. For most people, this phone kills it. It's not perfect, no phone is ... but you won't be sorry.

An extremely solid midrange Android phone
||Posted .When this phone was announced and initially reviewed, there was consensus that the worst thing about this phone was its price. Having used a Moto X4 for about a year, I was skeptical whether the Z3 Play would be a sufficient upgrade. Necessity forced me to buy this phone, and it didn't hurt that it has finally gone on sale. Overall, I would have been happy even if I'd paid full price. Moto Z3 Play has a Snapdragon 636, 4 GB of RAM, and 64 GB of storage, so on paper, it doesn't sound like much more than the Moto X4, and it costs a lot more. I think the main justification for the higher price is the AMOLED screen. This is a huge improvement over LCD. The camera is also considerably better and faster than the X4, and overall the phone feels snappier. The fingerprinter scanner on the side works very well, but the position takes some getting used to. I don't mind the power button on the left, but I will often accidently wake the phone up when putting it in my pocket because my index finger brushes the fingerprint scanner. There is only one speaker, but it's much, much louder than the Moto X4. I want to try the JBL Soundboost 2 Moto Mod, but it's perfectly fine for calls on speakerphone as is. Speaking of Moto Mods, the included battery mod seems to work fine. It adds too much heft for me to leave it on all the time, but I think it will be a great accessory for travelling or other periods where Wi-Fi is not available. If you're on the fence about this phone because of the price vs specs, try it out! It maintains everything good about Motorola's implementation of Android and has no downsides compared to previous models.

Not the best but not bad
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.For the price I paid this is a great little phone. It has moto mod capability which allows you to add different attachments to it. Mine came with the extra battery which allows the phone to last quite awhile. I also purchased the jbl speaker which is decent and the instashare projector which for what it is it does a pretty good job. Its not high def and you can notice a little pixelation but most people won't or care. Pair it with a Bluetooth speaker and have a movie night anywhere. The phone itself is fairly fast and responsive. I bought mine unlocked and had issues at first getting it to work correctly with Sprint but it all wound up being my fault because I was using it as a wifi device for about a month before activating it and I had done some updates that needed to be completed while it was activated and not how I had done it. I had to do a factory reset which wasn't to big a desl because I hadn't saved to much to the phone yet. Once I did that and ran all the updates it was able to connect to Sprints networks just fine. So make sure you activate it before you really start using it so you don't have to do setup and things twice. That's my families favorite pastime though so it was par for the course for me. This phone had already been out for a year when I bought it but while I was on my last phone things changed and subsidys went away so this was the first phone I've had to purchase really for more than a dollar and activation fee. I typically like to have the high end phones but that wasn't an option this go around but this phone is still comparable to my last LG phone so I haven't noticed much difference. This one doesn't have a built in headphone jack but does come with an adaptor that plugs into tbe charging port. This should work fine as long as you have a good amount of battery. This phond doesn't have a user servicable battery although I'm sure there are ways to take the phone apart and replace it possibly but I'm not certain. If you have protection plan that may not be an issue. It does have an SD slot and I'm running a 128GB and It can handle quite a bit more. I think it said it can do 2TB which I don't think even exist yet. The camera is ok in daylight and has a number of resolutions you can pick. It's not so great in low light. I don't shoot a ton of pics with my phone though so I don't care. If you are an amateur phone photographer you would probably be happier with something else. Apple, Samsung, and LG have the cameras you are looking for. Nice results can be achieved with this one though with some tweaking. Overall I'm pretty happy with this phone. I'm on it constantly and it doesn't get hot as far as I can tell but I have the battery mod on most of the time so it creates a buffer. As far as a case you will just want to get one of the bumper style that just goes around the edge if you plan to use mods all the time. I also put a screen protector on. It says it has a really sturdy screen but you know how that goes. I attached a holder thingy to the battery mod to help hang onto it because with the mod attached it can get a little heavy in the hand. I don't know if I would recommend this for women or those with smaller hands as it is somewhat bulky. I also have a Verizon prepaid Moto G6 Play I bought on clearance to use as a wifi device to stream music and I like it quite a bit as well it even came with a case. I bought a few more to use in my older vehicles to use as dashcams and streaming devices either connected to my phone hotspot or my Sprintdrive device. Well that's about it. I imagine this phone will only be getting cheaper and will probably even clearance out before to long. I will probably buy another when it does to have for a backup or to use someway in another capacity. I wish you all good luck in your mobile choices and you can't go wrong with this one for basic use. Have a good one!

Great mid level phone
||Posted .I wasn’t expecting much from a phone out of this price point. I’m used to using the flagship phones from Samsung (Galaxy S8/Note8) and Apple (iPhone 8/X). Surprisingly, the Moro Z3 Play has fast enough speed to really not notice any lag for most functionality. It has basic Motorola apps, but otherwise pretty stripped down. With the capability of using mods to enhance its core features, such as speakers and the camera, it will allowing you to have a phone with some of the best battery life, and POTENTIALLY better camera and speaker features than your flagship phones, if you’re willing to pay for the mods. It has some functionality such as the gestures that I couldn’t careless for, like placing three fingers down to take a screenshot or selfie or whatever they have it set for. But for the price, it’s a great purchase for somebody who wants to upgrade from the entry level phone like the Samsung Galaxy J3 or Moto G6. Yes, for the size, you would think they’d be able to fit in a headphone jack, but most of my headphones or earbuds are Bluetooth anyway.

Exceptional Mobile Phone Quality, and Value
||Posted .The Unlocked MOTO Z3 Play experience far exceeded expectations for the following reasons: Excellent phone and data reception/transmission radio performance in weak signal areas. Among the most capable unlocked Android devices for connecting Carriers and MVNOs because it includes an exceptional number of Band/Frequency for compatible radio reception/transmission. Hotspot output easily handles several devices streaming data and covers whole house with 5 bar signal strength. Phone is very efficient, combined with external Moto Mod Battery it runs cool and provides excellent battery life while streaming data via hotspot to several devices, sometimes over 18 hours a day. Excellent display resolution, color and brightness capability. Stout metal frame with Gorilla 3 glass. No thin, curved, soft, scratch prone, Gorilla 5 or 6 glass. Speaker could be a little louder but there are several Moto Mods that address and also provide stereo capability. Camera's are very good for a mobile phone. Per my experience, Motorola Moto Z3 Play designs are very efficient and well shielded from extraneous noise and from inducing unwanted noise into the circuits as demonstrated by the high number of compatible radio Bands/Frequencies included, excellent performance in weak Carrier signal strength areas, low operating temperatures, and exceptional battery life performance. Therefore, I consider this a high quality product of exceptional value, and now own two of these.

All around excellent device
||Posted .The Moto Z3 Play is an all around excellent device (as the title states). I don't personally use the Moto Mods (except for the included Battery Pack Mod occasionally) so I can't speak on that subject much. The battery life on this higher end device (even without the Battery Pack Moto Mod) is incredible. The device uses Google's new(ish) A/B seamless updates which makes installing updates much safer and easier because there is no downtime except for a reboot when finished. The device comes with Android 8.1.0 and is fully Treble enabled which also makes future updates promising. The device is expected to get Android 9.0 any time now which brings a lot more cool features and should make the experience even better! I've personally only owned the Moto "G" Series devices (G4+, G5S+, G6) until now and I must say I'm impressed and think I will stick with the Moto "Z" Series from now on :)

Swore I would not do Moto again....
||Posted .I really enjoyed my MOTO XPE, but it had some problems with the screen after a security patch and the battery was on its last legs. And, MOTO was horrible in handling updates to the Moto X PURE - I expected more being "PURE". That said, I reluctantly chose the Z3 Play when I didn't seem to be able to find the right mix of features/quality/price. I haven't had time to really play with the Z3 PLAY yet, so this review will be light as I am learning the new phone and the change of OS to Oreo. The phone is nice looking, but I don't understand the focus on glassy, fancy appearance when most folks end up putting on a case to protect the glass, but it is a pretty phone (and a fingerprint magnet). I would like a good bumper guard that would be compatible with and without a mod. I would like to go "bare" without a case, but the phone is a bit slick. lAthough I had no screen protector and only a simple silicon case on my XPE it looked almost brand new, but seeing so many of my friends with fruit phones with screen protectors and still cracked screens, I feel I need at least a case similar to the one I had for the XPE. Basically, I found it to be a better replacement for the XPE than the X4 and needed a phone before the X5 would be out. I am pleased with the phone except that I miss the Moto Gallery. I have more complaints about "Google" than Moto so far (can we say "swipe"??). And, I like the nearly pure Android with the well thought out Moto customs. I doubt I will get a lot of mods, but the battery mod is nice to have. I got this for the same price that Bezo's was selling the bloated version.

Q: QuestionIf i buy the moto z3 play open box excellent it comes with the moto power pack 220 mAh (moto mod)???
Asked by Serafin.
- A:Answer That depends on the store. Some stores reduce the price so much that they take the battery mod that comes with a brand new phone, and resell it to make up the difference. But you must ask. PS there is nothing wrong with the refurbished, and open box, products. They come with a full warranty. That's what I buy when I can. I hope I helped, Tarrat
