As for the phones, the Moto Z Play sports a 5.5-inch Full HD display, 14nm Snapdragon 625 SoC with eight Cortex A53 CPU cores clocked at 2.05GHz, 3GB of RAM, 32GB storage, microSD slot, 16MP rear camera with PDAF and 4K video recording, 5MP front shooter, NFC, and a 3510mAh battery.
With a thickness of 5.19mm, the Moto Z is one of the sleekest phones available today. The phone's thinness is what prompted Lenovo to ditch the 3.5mm port, with audio routed through the USB-C charging port. Customers will get a 3.5mm to USB-C dongle to connect their audio gear to the phone. In contrast, the Moto Z Play has a traditional 3.5mm headphone jack.
The Moto Z features a 5.5-inch QHD display, and is powered by the Snapdragon 820 SoC along with 4GB of RAM. There's 64GB of storage as well as a microSD slot, 13MP camera with 4K video, 5MP front camera, and a 2600mAh battery. Both the Moto Z and Moto Z Play come with Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow out of the box, and feature a fingerprint sensor at the front.
