Customers are saying

Customers enjoy the Moto Z3 Play for its budget-friendly price, impressive camera quality, and speedy performance. The phone's long battery life and unlocked status for all providers are also highly praised. While some users wish it had a headphone jack and more internal storage, these drawbacks do not overshadow the phone's overall positive reception.

    Coming from a samsun previous phone the power button on the left side and the thumbprint on the right was wierd. Overall the moto stock wasnt too bad. However for the price and quality was not bad at all.

    Color reproduction makes me regret purchase.

    The default "vibrant" color mode is just too saturated. But the "standard" mode is somewhat washed out looking. I wish there were an option for something that was in between. Can't hardly believe I'm complaining about the color reproduction, but despite the decent value it makes me regret this purchase. But maybe it won't bother everyone. Fwiw... My previous phone was a Moto G5s Plus set to "vibrant" and it looks so much better to me---natural enough, but also with just enough vividness to make icon colors pop without going overboard. The Z, unfortunately, looks pretty bad to me. Another complaint is that the ringtones appear to be ascending in volume. So it's hard to hear the initial ring. Can't disable. The screen unlock button on the side is super responsive. I like it. I've got it set to where it unlocks just by grabbing the phone as I naturally tend to do when pulling it out of my pocket. It unlocks so fast I often don't have to think about it. Though, I'm sure with such ease I'll accidentally unlock my phone when putting it back into my pocket once in a while. Phone came with Oreo, but it eventually got Pie after a days worth of updating. I think Moto's implementation of pill gestures after the Pie update are better than Google's own Pie pill gestures. It's an OK phone. Decent price.

    Excellent phone especially when you use the mods. Snap on the 5g mod for lightning fast speeds. The z3 is better than the z3 play but if you can get this phone for a good price it's great.
