We got the right eleven hours before it's launch yesterday as Motorola Philippines made the Moto Z2 Play official in the country.
Present at the said media event were Lenvo Mobile Business Group & Motorola Mobility Philippines Country Manager John Rojo and Lenovo Mobile Philippines Business Group and Motorola Mobility Philippines Marketing Manager Vince de la Cruz
Your guess is right as MotoMods will also be a part of Moto Z2 Play in the mix. That includes Moto Insta Share Projector at Php 14,999, Incipio OffGrid Power Pack at Php 4,599, Hassleblad Camera attachment which gives up pics up to 10x zoom at Php 14,099 and JBL Soundboost speaker at Php 5,499
Moto Z2 Play specs include Qualcomm Snapdragon 626 processor, 5.5 inch Full HD Super AMOLED display with Gorilla Glass 3, Android 7.1.1 Nougat, 12 MP main cam with dual LED flash and f/1.7 aperture, 5 MP secondary cam, LTE, Bluetooth 4.2\, WiFi, GPS FM, fingerprint reader at the front, can also be added up via MotoMods and 3,000 mAh built-in Li-iON battery
Moto Z2 Play will be available in Motorola stores in SM MOA, Megamall and North EDSA starting July 21 2017 for Php 24,999 and also thru Lazada Philippines. For those who will buy until August 31, 2017, they will receive some freebies like the Moto Style Shell Mod, metal bumper, selfie stick and liquid nano-screen protector.
And now for our first look
The front and back views of the box. It has a solid body just like it's previous model not that much changes in terms of design. They kept their promise of having almost stock Android (Nougat) inside
The left and right side views of the box. The thin profile continues on this as well as that huge camera bump which brings in the MotoMods to ssave the day from possible damage. The weight is still light for a phablet size
The camera UI has plenty of modes to choose and can shoot of 2K in 30 fps as well as Full HD in 60 fps. What we will be missing out is the pro mode. Image processing speed is very fast that you might not be noticed that it is already there in the photob gallery. They tapped Google Photos for keeping those pics and vids.

The build quality, good design, light interface and very good camera output will be the strongest abilities of Moto Z2 Play however their asking price is a bit too high for me
