The Motorola Moto Z Play appears on AnTuTu

After making an appearance yesterday on India's Zauba website, the Motorola Moto Z Play (XT1635-03) was found today revealing its specs on AnTuTu's Weibo page. According to the leak, the Moto Z Play will feature a 1080 x 1920 (FHD) resolution on its 5.5-inch AMOLED display.

Driving the device is the Snapdragon 625 chipset containing an octa-core CPU and the Adreno 506 GPU. According to AnTuTu, there will be two versions of the phone. One will come with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of expandable native storage, and the other features 3GB of RAM and 32GB of expandable native storage. A 16MP camera adorns the back of the phone while the front-facing 5MP camera snaps selfies and handles video chats. The unit comes with Android 6.0.1 out of the box, and will be upgraded to Android 7.0 Nougat sometime in the future.

AnTuTu says to expect pricing to start at the equivalent of $300 USD for the model with 2GB of RAM. The Moto Z Play should become available sometime after the release of the Motorola Moto Z.

"Upgraded to 7.0 sometime in the future". We will all hold our breath. This will probably be a pretty good phone, for non-power users who just want to text, surf the web, play candy crush, and check social media.

First, it is not the z but the x .The moto x play 2016. It will launch with regular moto x 2016 in near future.

You get the Redmi Note 3 Pro with 3GB/32GB, faster SD650 for $180, why bother with this Moto twice as expensive? Moto ain't what it was 3 years ago when the original Moto G was special.

A statement like this applies to pretty much all non-Chinese brands. Can't penalize Moto for that.

The 3GB/32GB version isn't $180... Also, I read on gsmarena that the camera is underwhelming while the new Motos tend to have excellent cameras; the phone has plastic caps on top and bottom; it likely won't have all the US bands for LTE; the phone is on lollipop, and likely will not be updated; speaking of lollipop, it's battery inefficient paired with a not-so-efficient SD650. There are many reasons NOT to get the Redmi for many people

Speaking of camera, the regular Z, though having a 13mp camera, the pixel size is still 1.12, meaning it has a small sensor due its thin body?

Yes. But the pixel size is another spec that often gets too much emphasis. The G5/G4/V10 all have relatively small pixels but have been found in many tests to pick up more detail with less noise than the S7. But too many people ride the opinions of others so the S7 gets this crown of being so amazing of a camera phone when it really isn't. I've tried the S7 (my sis has one), and it's pretty good, but not worth the hype it gets. Not by a long shot.

The depth of field of macro shots of that thing is a dream though.

Agreed Motorola is not the same as it was 3 years ago but Redmi is only about specs and very very poor optimization and after sales service. The 4000mA battery feels like 1000mA and heats up worse than Sony Z3+

forget the motomod, put a bigger battery instead of going slim then put the fingerprint scanner in the back then im sold.

It already has a 3500mAh battery with a 7(?) mm thick body. So you must mean to make it 10mm and 5000mAh? I do hope major (not Chinese) manufacturers put in 5000mAh or above batteries because the closest to that is the 4000mAh one in Samsung A9 as far as I know. (I don't know anything newer)

Back-mounted scanners leave less room for the battery

not automatically. the scanner itself is very tiny and thin they just need to mold the battery around it and you loose maybe 50 mah lol.

Eh? Mould the battery around it? Do you even know how wasteful it'll be? The tech going into moulding the battery plus the manufacturing cost of such a battery renders it unfeasible.

Usually no molding is needed for front scanners. And our hands naturally want to go there as our capacitive/on-screen buttons go there

Specs looks good.Just add a bigger battery and forget thickness.We love a thick phone with bigger battery but not a thin phone with a lesser battery backup.
