The shutter is real quick with adequate light
Battery life is also better in the Z Play

performance is mostly driven by software
missing headphone jacks are a common thing now
cumbersome is it's suddenly thicker size
Play's display is only covered by Gorilla Glass
Transmissions have a habit of fading in and out
Pictures often come out muddy or out of focus
absence of optical image stabilization (OIS)
a square-shaped fingerprint sensor
the Snapdragon 625 SoC has been quite weak in our experience
the former packs a slightly larger battery
The camera lacks optical image stabilization too
Zoom takes only a few seconds to ramp up and start capturing pictures
this setting cannot be enforced by the benchmark app
device may be too hot or have other apps running in the background
Battery life is very sensitive to changes in screen brightness
frequency is too low
users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches
unreliable auto-focus
Lenovo does not offer monthly updates
extreme image noise is sometimes noticed in zoomed photos
it does not feature NFC or modular expandability
chip is nowhere near as powerful as Qualcomm s flagship offering
end up feeling a bit too small to be comfortable
FM radio is missing
videos are far more shaky in appearance
poor sales of the phone
tends to be a bit noisy under low light
It s also a bit on the bulkier side
color temperature is a tad bit on the colder side
it lacks additional modes beyond the staple ones we get in every phone
the graphics processor is a bit weak
m still a big fan of the Moto Z Play
useless apps can be disabled
no email service can overcome a bad domain name
display could be powered on at around 75 percent brightness for
it s extremely difficult to pinpoint any performance issues
it does not support wireless charging
Does Motorola Moto Z Play have Google Play Services
Motorola Moto Z Play
Does Motorola Moto Z Play have wireless charging
it does not support 5GIs Motorola Moto Z Play waterproof
Motorola Moto Z Play runs Android 6
the HDR mode is a bit too slow
fingerprint scanner fouls-up the style a bit
ghosting in shots
Motorola on this one
a system-wide setting that cannot be disabled
it does not come with a style shell in the box
fingerprint scanner on the front
it is impossible to found its accessories
lack of sprint support means they
it s not likely to solve the problems with Windows on Arm
the Z2 Play the battery life is not quite as stellar
Feel terrible for players who lived in those worlds
it s not an instant purchase
