Lenovo's Moto Z2 Play is a good smartphone. It would look even better if the Moto Z Play (no longer) existed. The predecessor does many things just as good, some things just a bit worse, and other things even better while being considerably cheaper.

Super slim, well-constructed design; The Moto Mod ecosystem is maturing and can provide useful additions; Decent camera at this price point; Near-stock Android is always welcome

I love all the emoji's and texting has nice features letting you know your text was delivered into the person's mailbox. I love this phone@ I appreciate what great Customer Service you have.

I love my new phone. I like the idea of the mods and it works fast and easy. The phone itself has a lasting battery, still at 60% at the end of the day. The only downside is that the charger is different than all my others. Overall, I'm loving it!
