Verizon is the exclusive US carrier of Motorola’s new Moto Z2 Play, but if you take a close look at the phone, you’ll notice something missing: there’s no Droid branding anywhere. Motorola has been Verizon’s closest partner on the Droid family of products for years. Just take a look*at this history.
But not this time.
On last year’s Moto phones, the Droid logo had a prominent position right beneath the camera lens. But it’s nowhere to be found on the Moto Z2 Play, and none of the marketing material from Motorola (or Verizon) make any mention of the long-running brand.
“We'll continue using the Droid name on future smartphones when it makes sense,” a Verizon spokesperson told*The Verge*by email. Your guess is as good as mine on why Verizon and Motorola decided that it*didn’t*make sense for this particular phone. If Motorola’s not going to be making these things from now on, what company will?
