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.
