Just as title asks. Would you still buy this over the Z Force if the Force was only $100 more?
Best Buy is running their $200 off sale still and you get a free JBL Mod with purchase. You can get a $200 gift card if you go with the payment plan. That makes the phone $524.00 after the gift card or only $99 on a 2 yr contract if you have that option (I dont). I was pretty set on trying out the Play when I saw the sale going on at BB.
I am not a power user but I do use my phone a lot all day and battery life along with lag are my two pet peeves. Third is it needs a decent camera since I have 3 little kids and we like to travel a lot with them, mainly camping, but I still want nice photos of the trip.
I have a Moto X Pure now and the battery is less than stellar after several months of use. The camera is decent but just OK. My wife is a pure Apple person and her old iPhone 6 seemed way better for photos let alone her 6s. I actually shelved the MXPE recently for my backup Nexus 5x. With Nougat the 5x has a new lease on life. Battery is waaaay better and my lag is almost all gone on that phone.
I was going to hold out for the Pixel phones but I do like Moto as I have had many. I know they are now Lenovo and updates are going to be few and far between (my MXPE is way behind just security updates) so that is a concern but I have always liked the Moto Actions and their cell radios always seemed to be better than others. I live in a fringe area and my 5x will send calls straight to voicemail vs. the MXPE.
So - would you still get the Play over the Force if the Force was just $124 more? Oh, you also get a free JBL speaker mod with the Force at Best Buy. I really dont see myself using mods often if ever if that matters.
