Motorola Moto Z Play makes appearance on Zauba carrying a 5.5-inch screen?

India's Zauba website tracks certain imports into and exports out of India. Since many major smartphone manufacturers have operations in the country, listings on the site often revolve around rumored handsets. For example, the site now shows that three units of the Motorola Moto Z Play have been imported into India. The unannounced model is expected to be a mid-range version of the already introduced Motorola Moto Z and Motorola Moto Z Force.

The listing on Zauba reveals that the Moto Z Play (which has the code name of Vertex) will feature a 5.5-inch display, matching the screen size of the Moto Z and Moto Z Force. Based on a previous Geekbench test of the phone, we expect that the Moto Z Play will be powered by the Snapdragon 625 chipset with an octa-core CPU, and the Adreno 506 GPU. 3GB of RAM will be on board with Android 6.0.1 pre-installed.

The phone carries the model number of  XT1635-01, and the model listed on Zauba offers single SIM capabilities. The Geekbench test resulted in a single-core score of 884 and a multi-core score of 4464. There is some speculation that the Moto Z Play will be unveiled after the Moto Z and Moto Z Force are launched in September. Despite being a mid-range model, the Moto Z Play is expected to support the Moto Mods modular system.

Thanks for the tip!
