Customer Ratings & Reviews

A lot of phone for an economical price. Love the MMS text feature to record voice versus translating speech to characters.

Before purchasing this phone, I previously owned the original Droid MAXX that came out a few years ago. So far I am really pleased with the phone. I bought it for the battery life, and it does not disappoint. It lasts me about 30-35 hours when not used constantly, which includes social media, maps, calls/text and browsing the web. It lasts less hours when gaming, but still more than other phones I've had. It comes with the wireless charging mod (since the phone has optional Moto mods you can snap onto its back), and a turbo charger that charges it to full in 1 1/2 hours. The phone's size takes some getting used to, especially from being used to the Droid MAXX (which is already a big enough phone). It runs really fast, which was a surprise; it comes with a few pre-loaded apps, but the option of uninstalling and disabling them is there. A thing to keep in mind is that it uses USB-C, so you can't just use any Android charger for it. It is reversible, so you can plug it in any which way, but I believe it is also a bit harder to find a second charger. It also has a fingerprint scanner as an alternate method for unlocking, but I haven't used it so I can't confirm if it works well or not. Overall, it's a solid phone, great battery life, fast charging; the screen looks great. It was a choice between this and the Z2 Play, but I don't think the Z2 has anything above this one, unless you take into account processor which is up to you. I decided to purchase this phone through Best Buy on account of it being way more expensive as an upgrade on the Verizon Store; if the Verizon store price has since changed I wouldn't know.

Awesome phone. Before I begin, I'm an admitted Android nerd. It's the only phone I've ever owned. Big fan of Nexus 4, then 5, then of the Moto X 2014. I was very impressed with how clean and true Moto kept their Android OS and very much liked the features they added. When I heard of the Moto Z, I was intrigued, but my Moto X was still rocking albeit with some battery stamina issues. So when I lost my Moto X during a recent snow storm, I wasn't too upset over it, I got a chance to get the Moto Z I had my eye on. All the same things I liked about my Moto X are present, except now I have the added functionality of mods (have yet to purchase one, but some great ones are on the way) and of course BATTERY LIFE. Now I'm not getting the crazy 8hr screen time most are reporting, possibly because I'm an overnight charger. But I can squeeze 24 hrs out of this phone with a good 5-6 hrs screen time. That's just fine by me. It's snappy and handles all of the multitasking I can throw at it. Was concerned about the 5.5" screen. I thought 5.2 was the sweet spot, but I've adjusted just fine. The build quality of the phone is impressive and fairly tough. Only the nastiest of drops have made a mark on the metal frame around the phone. Very happy with the Moto Z Play. Oh and it charges very fast too. Highly recommend this phone.

Awesome phone for the price. Specs are in line with the more expensive phones, battery is awesome, screen is big. Phone is a little heavy which is not a big deal. Camera is good. Love it so far.

Motorola has long been and always will be on the top since the inception of any communication device. The innovation of the Moto Z line is amazing with it's line of Moto mods. Moto enhancements makes this phone the most intuitive in the market. From Moto Display, to Moto Actions, to Moto Voice, the phone pretty much does everything for you. There's nothing out there like it. As for this review, the Moto Z play is an awesome phone. The camera does an amazing job as well. The reviews may say differently, but you do have to realize that these reviewers are so incredibly picky, that they lose the perception of how good cellphone camera's have become. The images from the Moto Z Play are sharp, crisp and the colors saturation is beautiful. Another feature is the battery in this phone is incredible. It can last up to 3 days! And, although it may not have the fastest processor, you wouldn't be able to tell by how incredibly fast the performance is and how it flies through multiple tasks, simultaneously! Thumbs up, Motorola. Always a "satisfied" customer. Can't wait to see what's next.

This is my first smartphone (believe or not), but I was impressed by the ease of its use. The camera is very good and the battery life is impressive; I have to charge much less frequently than my wife's Samsung phones (Galaxy S5 and S8). And the price was impossible to beat (got it on holiday weekend sale). The only slight downside (and it might not be a downside for some) is that the screen is very wide compared to other smartphones, at least compared to the Samsung Galaxies. The large screen is nice for when you are watching videos, but it takes up a lot of room in your pocket. For someone who is looking for a solid phone with a decent camera and long battery life, this is an excellent choice.

I don't want to write a long, gushing review here. I bought 1 for my wife and 1 for my daughter. I got a s7 edge for myself. Don't get me wrong, I like my s7 plenty. If I was buying new phones again...I would buy 3 moto z play. The battery life on these phones is phenomenal. My wife frequently goes DAYS without charging. My teenage daughter charges on average every other day. Camera takes really nice pics. Display is very good. Even without any of the moto mods, this is an excellent choice as a smart phone for anyone that wants/needs long battery life. The specs may not be up to flagship par, but we have seen no massive difference in performance that justifies spending twice as much on a flagship phone. Highly recommended.

I have owned several Motorola's over the years this is without a doubt the best one ever it is quick on data has excellent sound both speaking and listening is a great size to handle and has a great screen and colors I use a lot of data on my phone and the battery is good 4 two days best of all caught a special $5.99 a month or approximately $143 each to upgrade two lines received the Third phone free for adding a line and then got a $200 veterans rebate can't beat that deal can't beat the phone great service and start up with Yash at Best Buy

What's to say? We have bought four of these over he past year and none of them disappoint. The battery life is fantastic, and while the specs are a bit lower than the Moto Z, the camera and processor are more than capable.

I've been living with the Moto Z Play for roughly a month now, and I love it. The screen is vibrant and responsive, and with it's zippy Snapdragon processor and 3GB of RAM, you'll have ample power to multitask and run the most demanding apps. I also love the Moto Notifications screen, which allows you to view notifications without having to fully fire up the phone, thereby saving battery power. Perhaps the best feature is the crazy long battery life. I'm a moderate-to-sometimes-heavy user and regularly get 4-5 days of battery life out of this phone. That's with Bluetooth and WiFi always turned on. When this phone warns you that there's only 15% of charge left, you still have HOURS of battery life remaining. Even better, when you finally do deplete the big honking battery in this beast, it only takes a super-fast 2 hours to fully recharge. All smartphones should be like this! I should also note that this phone has a very thin, premium design with all glass and metal construction. However, unlike most recent premium level phones, the Z Play still has an honest-to-God headphone jack, a major plus. It looks super-classy with the exchangeable back plates, which include wood, leather and cloth variants. If there is one negative, it's that the phone is very thin with semi-slippery sides, so I'm always worried about dropping it.

Great phone for the price. Nice to see other companies competing with the big names. Was happy to trade in my Samsung to get a phone with the more speed, battery life and an awesome screen!

Great battery life! The thing just won't die! Perfect device for a teen glued to his/her phone. Not the latest or greatest but, can't be beat for the price. Paired with the JBL speakers mod, this thing is a party waiting to happen.

I usually do not purchase or lease the newest phones out due to cost. I am a late adopter to technology even though I understand how to use the most current technology. That being said, this is a nice phone for under $20.00, gets very good reception. Motorola phones (even though Lenovo owns the handset business now) have always been great for making and receiving phone calls. This phone also works well on WIFI, and the battery life is excellent at 2 days with decent usage of all the phone features. I would recommend this phone to anyone who likes to have good call quality but is not a heavy user that thinks the newest technology at a lower cost value.

My Droid Turbo was getting up in age and I was reluctant to take on another phone payment. At $10 amonths this phone is a steal. Battery last anywhere from 36 to 48 hours depending on how much I'm using it and the SD expansion slot means all my music and photos can stay on the device without running out of memory. Processor seems fast enough for me. Only complaint is the amount of bloat ware wverizon preload on it.

Even though Motorola is manufactured by Lenovo they have made sure that the core product is delivered at a minimal price. A very good phone with an awesome battery backup at a very reasonable price. Pros: Battery backup, screen size, ease of use, finger print scanner, headphone jack Cons: Bulky, lower hardware versions compared to other peers, thicker than it's peers like moto z Overall a good buy

The phone was great, fast, nice screen, and the moto mods was the biggest selling point. I've used the battery and JBL speaker mods and love their ease of use. But a year unto owning the phone, the screen went crazy and then shut off on its own. It wouldn't turn back on for 2 days. Luckily I had a backup phone but this was very frustrating and inconvenient. Would still give the newer version a shot tho. A nice alternative to iPhone and Samsung.

This is the only phone anyone should own!!!!! It is wonderful!!! Solid built, quick on responding, good size and easy to use!!! The texting is outstanding and I absolutely don't want another phone!!!!! No regrets only thankful I got this one!!!!! Eat your heart out everyone!!! It's got them all beat!

Purchased this phone with with a new data plan and have had no problems so far. Appreciate how easy it is to use and the long lasting battery. The phone is larger than my prior phone, so I love the easy to read screen. I do on occasion accidentally unlock the screen and accidentally launch an app or call someone, but I'm still learning and I have a new case on order. Overall, very happy with the purchase.

Great quality phone big screen ,speedy processor, everything you want in a phone.highly recommend.best price features.

Love the speed and screen resolution. Great speaker and mic on phone, keyboard is quick and accurate, and camera is crisp. The price was crazy cheap for this much phone. I freaked for a minute though when I realized the dozen Android charge cables I've accumulated don't work with this phone but the new USB Type C cables are readily available at same price as the android minies.
