Important update: this model is updated to Android version 9 Pie.
Check the availability of the update version in your region on the manufacturer’s website.

Android version and market relevance

In the short description of the new smartphone Motorola Moto Z3 Play we point out the key characteristics for each smartphone. Firstly, it is an actuality in the market. This model was announced by the company Motorola in June 2018. Secondly, this concept of adequacy in the market at the moment. We determine this according to the software version on which the smartphone is running and updating. So, “out of the box” Motorola Moto Z3 Play works on Android 8.1 Oreo and has not received until now no updates to the more recent version of the software. In this case, we advise you to avoid buying models that do not receive software updates. Look at the others smartphones of 2018.

Of the features that not all Android smartphones have today, we separately single out support for two SIM cards and the ability to work in 5G networks with a maximum speed of 100 Mb/s. So Motorola Moto Z3 Play is a dual-smartphone, so you can combine in one device just two phones. This, of course, is convenient and makes you look more closely at this model. The manufacturer could add support for fifth-generation networks to this smartphone, but did not. Perhaps not to raise the price, or for other reasons. If for you the presence of support for 5G networks in a new smartphone is very important, then we recommend that you go to this page in the catalog — all 5G smartphones on Android.

Screen, body and battery

Super AMOLED touchscreen with a diagonal 6.01″ mounted on the front panel Motorola Moto Z3 Play, thickness 6.8 mm, which has a dust and water protection.

The battery in Motorola Moto Z3 Play is installed on 3 000 mAh. It can be said that by today′s standards, such a volume is the minimum acceptable, we recommend looking at other smartphones with a powerful battery.

Main camera and selfie camera

The most important characteristics of Motorola Moto Z3 Play cameras: main camera received 12 MP with a regular lens + 5 MP Depth sensor, front camera got 8 MP Wide. See examples of photos and videos from this smartphone to visually assess their quality. And the most interesting thing is that the main camera on the back of the body has several lenses (dual camera smartphones). That can do 2x zoom without losing quality. And with the help of at least two lenses, you can shoot portraits with the bokeh effect, this is when the background is blurred and the photo appears like depth. In this model, the selfie camera is on the front and you can see it. In 2019, smartphones were announced with a front camera, which is located inside the body and is not visible. When you need to take a photo, the front camera slides up from the body. You take your selfie, the photo is saved and then the camera goes down into the body. All smartphones with pop-up front camera from different producers at different prices are collected in the catalog. If you are interested in such models, we advise you to first watch video reviews about them, and then make a choice and buy.

Processor and Internal Memory

And write a few words about the performance of Motorola Moto Z3 Play. Of course, the very first thing that will be discussed is the processor. The model received a 8-core processor Snapdragon 636.

The second performance characteristic in our opinion is the amount of RAM. The Motorola Moto Z3 Play has 4 installed on the RAM.

The built-in flash memory of this model has the volume 32 GB, but you can choose the version with 64 GB. The manufacturer did not forget about the support of memory cards in the smartphone. Here you can install a card microSD up to 400 GB.

Price for Motorola Moto Z3 Play: buy or not to buy?

Price Motorola Moto Z3 Play at the start of sales was $500. A smartphone with this price level got into the price segment “Flagships smartphones from $500” and got a very powerful processor, a huge touch screen, and the front camera is not too cool with a very weak main camera.

If you want to buy Motorola Moto Z3 Play, you can choose any online store or offline electronics store, the main thing is to have a guarantee for the smartphone and the desired version of the model you have chosen.

Before buying, if you have the opportunity, it is better to hold the phone in your hands, check the screen, the quality of the photo and video, look at the smoothness and speed of the interface. Never buy a “cat in a bag”, be sure to check everything before buying. Today, good smartphones are worth a lot of money, so it′s better to spend an extra ten minutes to eventually buy the model that will work well one or two years and help you in everything.

A good list of characteristics of Motorola Moto Z3 Play will appeal to the majority of potential buyers: as we wrote, here is a large screen that received an aspect ratio of 18: 9, a very slim body — only 6.7 mm, protection from water and dust, and a dual main camera 12+ 5 megapixel at the back of the smartphone. The design of the Motorola case does not change and therefore its smartphones are always easy to distinguish in the crowd.

The novelty is running Android 8.1 Oreo, has a Snapdragon 636 chipset, 4 GB RAM, 64 GB internal memory + microSD cards (up to 400 GB). The front camera received a module at 8 megapixels, f / 2.0, video recording 1080p @ 30fps. While the main camera can record video with a quality of 2160p @ 30fps.

Moto Z3 Play sales began in June 2018 first in the US. The price for the Moto Z3 Play fully corresponds to the declared characteristics — from $500. Yes, it’s not Xiaomi or Meizu, so the price tag on the smartphone was $100 lower, but still this device will have its success in some markets.
