Moto Z2 review

Motorola unveiled its approach to modularity with the Z series of smartphones last year. The Moto Z (Review) ticked all the boxes for a flagship device, while the Moto Z Play (Review) was much more affordable. Along with these phones, Motorola launched a series of Moto Mods that helped enhance their potential. Other smartphone makers, most notably LG, have abandoned the modular approach, but Motorola has so far stuck to its promise of supporting Moto Mods for three years. Now, with the Moto Z2 Play, it looks like buyers have new option to choose from.

The Moto Z2 Play is the successor to the Moto Z Play, which earned a good name for itself by being affordable and versatile. The new model has an updated SoC but has to make do with a smaller battery. Can the Z2 Play continue the legacy of the phone it is replacing? Let’s find out.
