Moto Z Play Gets Another Spec Leak

IFA 2016 is just around the corner and while Motorola hasn't exactly hinted at it, we might finally see the Moto Z Play in the flesh. Of course, we still have a lot of time to squeeze in some last minute leaks, like this spec sheet coming hot off GFXBench. It all pretty much confirms the things we've seen before, especially from TENAA, which paints the picture of a rather plain mid-range smartphone that will hopefully be made more exciting with compatibility with exciting, and especially upcoming, Moto Mods.

Let's get right down to the specs. According to GFXBench, the Moto Z Play, model number XT1635, will be powered by a 2.0 GHz octa-core Cortex-A53 Qualcomm processor, which, based on those details, is the Snapdragon 625. There's also 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage inside. The 5.5-inch 1920x1080 screen cements its position in the middle class of smartphones. There's also a 16 megapixel rear camera and 5 megapixel front camera.

Of course not seen in this spec sheet, but ultimately more interesting, is the Moto Z Play's design. Based on previous leaks and sources, it will be exactly like the Moto Z, which means it will be compatible with Moto Mods as well. One key difference, however, is that the Moto Z Play is believed to still have a 3.5 mm headphone jack, resulting in a thicker profile.

If all these come to pass, and if the Moto Z Play gets a more wallet-friendly price tag, it could inevitably help spread Moto's idea of a modular smartphone far better than the LG G5, or even the Moto Z and Moto Z Force Droid themselves, whose premium prices paint them more as eccentric luxury items than the smartphones of the future.
