Pre-order pages for the GSM Unlocked Motorola Moto Z Play are now live for both Best Buy. Both stores have the phone listed for $449.99 with a release/shipping date of October 20, 2016.
The Motorola Moto Z Play features the new Snapdragon 625 processor and Adreno 506 GPU, with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage with a microSD card slot for storage expansion. The front features a 5MP f/2.2 wide-angle camera with flash and the rear camera is a familiar 16MP f/2.0 (see Nexus 6, third gen Moto G) with phase-detect and laser autofocus. The 5.5" 1920x1080 screen coupled with a 3510 mAh battery brings phenomenal battery life - Motorola claims "50 hours". And when you need to charge, Motorola's TurboPower charging over USB-C can get you up to 9 hours of use in 15 minutes of charging.
With this being a Moto Z, Moto Mods are also supported. The same Style Shells, PowerPacks, projector, speaker, and camera mods that are available now for the other Moto Zs also work here with the Moto Z Play.
With a $450 price point, extreme battery life, decent camera, and Moto Mod expansion, the Moto Z Play makes a compelling base for "modularity". Will you be pre-ordering?
Note: Unlike last year's unlocked Moto X Pure Edition, the unlocked Moto Z Play only works with GSM-based carriers like AT&T and T-Mobile. The unlocked Moto Z Play does not work with Verizon, nor Sprint.
