Hands-on with the new Moto Z Play Droid and Hasselblad True Zoom camera
The latest Moto gear is stepping into the spotlight, as Lenovo introduces the new Moto Z Play Droid smartphone and the Hasselblad True Zoom camera Moto Mods accessory. Adding to this summer's existing lineup of Moto Z phones and Moto Mods add-ons, the pair offers shoppers an affordable mid-range alternative to the earlier Moto Z flagships, while also letting owners of any Moto Z phone upgrade their handset with a more capable camera – and one with full hardware shutter and zoom controls, at that.
The interface on the Moto Z Play Droid is essentially unchanged from what we already saw on the Moto Z Droid and Moto Z Force Droid – and that's a good thing. The lightweight Android skin is a breeze to navigate through, and even with the Play's slightly lower-end Snapdragon 625 chip under the hood, we haven't yet run into any performance hiccups. Just as we'd expect, there's tons of gesture controls present, all ready to respond to shakes and flips.
