判决
摩托罗拉 Moto Z2 Plus(Motorola Moto Z2 Plus)是一款出色的中端Android智能手机(Android smartphone)。它具有快速的处理器、足够的RAM和内部存储空间(storage space)、良好的显示屏和精心打造的金属机身(metal body)。它还能够拍摄好照片（如果您弥补了图像稳定(image stabilization)的不足），并且可以提供优质的用户体验(quality user experience)。但是，它在任何领域都没有给人留下深刻印象，除了一个：它使用Moto Mods的能力。如果您已经拥有一个，或者您打算购买一些，那么摩托罗拉 Moto Z2 Play(Motorola Moto Z2 Play)是一项不错的投资。但是，如果您不打算购买任何Moto Mods，您可以以更低的价格找到具有类似规格的智能手机，或者以与摩托罗拉 Moto Z2 Play 相同的价格标签找到更好的智能(Motorola Moto Z2 Play)手机(price tag)。如果你想要一款价格适中、性能中等(medium price and mid-range performance)的模块化智能手机，Moto Z2 Play是个不错的选择。但请记住，Moto Mods的成本可能会迅速增加，而且只要你的包里只有几个，你就可以很快超过 1000 美元的价格标签(price tag)。
硬件(Hardware)规格和包装
摩托罗拉 Z2 Play 智能手机(Motorola Z2 Play smartphone)装在一个红色纸板箱中(cardboard box)，里面有一些描绘红色水晶的插图。在盒子的上部，您可以看到摩托罗拉品牌(Motorola brand)和智能手机的名称，以及它与Moto Mods兼容的事实。
在盒子的背面和一个小侧面，您可以找到有关智能手机的一些详细信息，例如其硬件规格、颜色、IMEI编号和支持的无线电频段。
要拿到智能手机和盒子的其他内部，您必须将内托盘从纸板箱中(cardboard box)滑出。您遇到的第一件事是智能手机本身。
除了摩托罗拉 Moto Z2 Play(Motorola Moto Z2 Play)，在包装盒内，您还可以找到电源充电器(power charger)和可拆卸的USB Type-C 数据线、用于将(USB Type-C cable)SIM卡托盘从手机中取出的插针、快速入门指南(start guide)和安全信息手册(safety information leaflet)。
摩托罗拉 Moto Z2 Play(Motorola Moto Z2 Play)有两种颜色可供选择：月球灰(Lunar Gray)和纯金(Fine Gold)。我们测试的模型是Fine Gold模型。
它采用 5.5 英寸Super AMOLED 显示屏(Super AMOLED display)，全高清分辨率(Full HD resolution)为 1920 x 1080像素，像素密度为 401 ppi(ppi pixel density)。屏幕还受到康宁大猩猩玻璃 3(Gorilla Glass 3)的保护，防止刮擦、灰尘和跌落。该智能手机由运行频率高达 2.20 GHz的强大八核(GHz)Qualcomm Snapdragon 626处理器和Adreno 506图形处理单元提供动力。摩托罗拉(Motorola)在内存方面也很慷慨：Moto Z2 Play提供 3GB 或 4GB 的RAM和 32GB 或 64GB 的内部存储空间(storage space)，取决于您购买的型号。我们测试的那个有 4GB 的RAM和 64GB 的内部闪存。该智能手机还支持 microSD 卡，如果您想将存储容量(storage capacity)扩展至 2TB，您可以添加该卡。摩托罗拉 Moto Z2 Play(Motorola Moto Z2 Play)的自主权由不可拆卸的 3000 mAh 电池(mAh battery)提供。

关于连接性，摩托罗拉 Moto Z2 Play(Motorola Moto Z2 Play)使用两个 nano-SIM 卡，可以连接到CDMA、GSM/GPRS/EDGE、UMTS/HSPA+和 4G LTE移动网络。
可以购买单 SIM 卡(Single-SIM)或双SIM 卡(SIM)配置的智能手机。我们测试的是双 SIM 卡版本(Dual-SIM version)，这意味着它允许您同时使用两张不同的SIM卡（都必须是 nano - SIM 卡(SIM)）。不过，虽然两张SIM卡都可以连接 3G WCDMA或 4G LTE，但一次只能连接其中一张 3G/4G。智能手机采用双卡双待实现(SIM Dual Standby implementation)，这意味着即使两张SIM卡在您不使用时都处于活动状态，一旦您在其中一个上接听电话，另一个就会变为非活动状态。
它还提供支持USB 3.1的(USB 3.1)USB Type-C 端口(USB Type-C port)、蓝牙(Bluetooth)v4.2 LE + EDR 以及对 802.11 a/b/g/n 2.4GHz和 5 GHz网络LE + EDR and dual-band wireless support它不支持 802.11ac。
摩托罗拉 Moto Z2 Play(Motorola Moto Z2 Play)受益于它从一系列传感器收集的信息：指南针、陀螺仪传感器(gyroscope sensor)、加速度计、环境光传感器(light sensor)、接近传感器(proximity sensor)和指纹读取器(fingerprint reader)。指纹读取器(fingerprint reader)安装在设备正面、显示屏下方，呈椭圆形。
摩托罗拉 Moto Z2 Play(Motorola Moto Z2 Play)与所有Moto Mods兼容。它们是单独的设备，您可以通过磁性方式将它们连接到Moto Z2 Play，并且可以将您的智能手机变成另一个具有新功能的设备。例如，您可以连接超级变焦摄像头(super-zoom camera)、扬声器、投影仪、360 度摄像头等。我们还收到了其中一些Moto Mod，(Moto Mods,)稍后我们将在本评论的专门部分中详细讨论它们。
摩托罗拉 Moto Z2 Play(Motorola Moto Z2 Play)是一款大而薄的智能手机：它的尺寸为 3 x 6.15 x 0.24 英寸或 76.2 x 156.2 x 5.99 毫米，重量为 5.11 盎司或 145 克。

摩托罗拉 Moto Z2 Play 是一款具有中等硬件规格的智能手机：全高清显示屏、3 或 4 GB 的 RAM，以及 32 或 64 GB 的内部闪存存储空间。如果您已经拥有一些 Moto Mods，好消息是 Moto Z2 Play 兼容所有这些。(The Motorola Moto Z2 Play is a smartphone with mid-range hardware specifications: a Full HD display, 3 or 4 GB of RAM, and 32 or 64GB of internal flash storage space. If you already own some Moto Mods, the good news is that the Moto Z2 Play is compatible with all of them.)
设计和建造质量
摩托罗拉 Moto Z2 Play(Motorola Moto Z2 Play)是一款外观精美、制作精良的智能手机。机身是全金属的，但即便如此，手机还是轻薄的。除非您要为其添加Moto Mod，否则Moto Z2 Play非常适合您的口袋。该设备的正面是显示屏的所在地，底部是椭圆形指纹识别器(fingerprint reader)，顶部是耳机、前置摄像头和闪光灯。
右侧边缘是常用的音量和电源按钮(volume and power buttons)，顶部边缘是您可以找到SIM卡托盘的位置。
在底部边缘(bottom edge)，有 USB 3.1 Type-C 端口和 3.5 毫米音频插孔。
摩托罗拉 Moto Z2 Play(Motorola Moto Z2 Play)的背面是有趣的部分。朝向顶部，您可以找到相机的圆形凸起。摩托罗拉(Motorola)也挤压了摄像头模块(camera module)内的双LED 闪光灯(LED flash)。
然后，在背面的中央，你可以看到一个小的摩托罗拉(Motorola)标志，在底部，有 16 个小针和一个磁铁。智能手机使用这些来连接和附加到Moto Mods。
在未连接Moto Mod的情况下使用时，Moto Z2 Play智能手机握在手中感觉舒适。金属边缘略微圆润，您对它们的抓地力非常好。我们还赞赏指纹读取器(fingerprint reader)的良好放置，易于查找和触摸，并且解锁智能手机的速度也很快。最后还值得一提的是，如果你不想刮伤摄像头模组(camera module)，可以加一个保护手机背面的后盖，虽然它也让它厚了一点。
摩托罗拉 Moto Z2 Play 是一款 Android 智能手机，它的轻薄程度令人印象深刻。我们没想到的是全金属机身和 5.5 英寸屏幕的设备。设计很好，虽然没有什么不寻常的东西引起你的注意。手机握在手中感觉舒适，可舒适地放在任何口袋中。但是，如果您向其中添加 Moto Mod，情况就会发生变化，尽管 Moto Mods 通常有自己的包，并且不应永久保持与智能手机的连接。(The Motorola Moto Z2 Play is an Android smartphone that impresses by how light and thin it is. We did not expect that from a device with an all-metal body and a 5.5-inch screen. The design is good, although nothing out of the ordinary catches your eye. The phone feels pleasant in your hand and fits comfortably in any pocket. However, things change if you add a Moto Mod to it, though Moto Mods usually have their bags and should not stay connected to the smartphone permanently.)

Review Motorola Moto Z2 Play: The midrange smartphone that shapeshifts
Motоrola has reсеntly launched a modular smartphone that is part оf their Motorola Moto Z family. Modular means that you can magnetically attach various Moto Mods which enhance your smartphone. There are Moto Mods for increasing the battery capacity, for taking better photos, or even for projecting your smartphone's screen on walls. Over the last few weeks, we played with the Motorola Moto Z2 Play, the latest mid-range Android smartphone in the Z family. We also had the moto 360 camera, the Hasselblad True Zoom and the moto insta-share projector in our hands. In the following review, you can read about Motorola Moto Z2 Play and what it has to offer:
What is the Motorola Moto Z2 Play smartphone good at?
The Motorola Moto Z2 Play is an excellent smartphone for:
- People who want a modular smartphone that can be transformed when performing different activities
- People who want a midrange smartphone of good quality but which does not cost a fortune
- People who already have one or more Moto Mods and want a smartphone that is compatible with them
Pros and cons
Here is what we liked about the Motorola Moto Z2 Play:
- You can attach different Moto Mods, enhancing features like the photographic experience, the sound or the autonomy
- The build quality is excellent, with a body made of metal
- The smartphone is slim and lightweight
- The screen offers deep colors and high brightness, even in sunlight
There are some negative aspects too:
- The smartphone's main camera can shoot good photos, but it has no image stabilization features, so pictures and videos are shaky unless you keep the smartphone still
- The Moto Mods are pricey and buying a few of them significantly increases the total cost of ownership
Verdict
The Motorola Moto Z2 Plus is an excellent mid-range Android smartphone. It has a fast processor, enough RAM and internal storage space, a good display and a well-built metal body. It is also capable of shooting good photos (if you compensate for the lack of image stabilization) and can offer a quality user experience. It does not, however, manage to impress in any field, except one: its ability to use Moto Mods. If you already have one, or if you intend to buy some, then the Motorola Moto Z2 Play is a good investment. If, however, you do not intend to buy any Moto Mods, you can find smartphones with similar specs at lower prices, or better smartphones at the same price tag as the Motorola Moto Z2 Play. If you want a modular smartphone with a medium price and mid-range performance, the Moto Z2 Play is a good choice. Keep in mind though, that the costs of the Moto Mods can add up quickly and, with just a few of them in your bag, you can quickly go over the $1000 price tag.
Hardware specifications and packaging
The Motorola Z2 Play smartphone arrives in a red cardboard box with some illustrations depicting red crystals. On the upper part of the box, you can see the Motorola brand and the name of the smartphone, as well as the fact that it is compatible with Moto Mods.
On the back and one of the small sides of the box, you can find some details about the smartphone, like its hardware specifications, color, IMEI numbers and the supported radio bands.
To get to the smartphone and the other insides of the box, you must slide the inner tray from the cardboard box. The first thing you meet is the smartphone itself.
Besides the Motorola Moto Z2 Play, inside the box, you also find a power charger and a detachable USB Type-C cable, a pin for taking the SIM cards tray out of the phone, a quick start guide and a safety information leaflet.
The Motorola Moto Z2 Play is available in two color variants: Lunar Gray and Fine Gold. The model that we tested was the Fine Gold one.
It features a 5.5 inches Super AMOLED display with Full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels at 401 ppi pixel density. The screen is also protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3 against scratches, dust, and falls. The smartphone is powered by a powerful octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 626 processor running at up to 2.20 GHz and an Adreno 506 graphics processing unit. Motorola has been generous when it comes to memory too: the Moto Z2 Play offers 3GB or 4GB of RAM and 32GB or 64GB of internal storage space, depending on the model you buy. The one we tested had 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal flash memory. The smartphone also supports a microSD card, which you can add if you want to expand the storage capacity by up to 2TB. The autonomy of the Motorola Moto Z2 Play is offered by a non-removable 3000 mAh battery.
The rear camera has a 12 MP image sensor, with laser autofocus (up to 5 meters), PDAF (Phase Detection Auto Focus), and dual LED flash. The primary camera can record videos at up to 4K resolution, at 30 frames per second. The Motorola Moto Z2 Play also has a built-in front camera, with an image sensor of 5 megapixels, beautification options and, interestingly, a dual LED flash.
Regarding connectivity, the Motorola Moto Z2 Play uses two nano-SIMs and can connect to CDMA, GSM/GPRS/EDGE, UMTS/HSPA+ and 4G LTE mobile networks.
This smartphone can be bought in a Single-SIM or a Dual-SIM configuration. The one that we tested was the Dual-SIM version, meaning that it allows you to use two different SIM cards at the same time (both have to be nano-SIMs). However, although both SIM cards can connect to 3G WCDMA or 4G LTE, only one of them can be connected to 3G/4G at a time. The smartphone works in a Dual SIM Dual Standby implementation, which means that even if both SIM cards are active when you are not using them, once you take a call on one of them, the other becomes inactive.
It also offers a USB Type-C port with USB 3.1 support, Bluetooth v4.2 LE + EDR and dual-band wireless support for the 802.11 a/b/g/n 2.4 GHz and 5GHz networks. It does not offer support for 802.11ac.
Motorola Moto Z2 Play benefits from the information it gathers from a series of sensors: compass, gyroscope sensor, accelerometer, ambient light sensor, proximity sensor, and fingerprint reader. The fingerprint reader is mounted on the front of the device, beneath the display, and has an oval shape.
The Motorola Moto Z2 Play is compatible with all Moto Mods. They are separate devices that you can attach magnetically to the Moto Z2 Play and which can transform your smartphone into another device, with new powers. For instance, you can attach a super-zoom camera, a boombox, a projector, a 360 degrees camera, and so on. We also received a few of these Moto Mods, and we will talk more about them a bit later, in a dedicated section of this review.
The Motorola Moto Z2 Play is a large but thin smartphone: it has a size of 3 x 6.15 x 0.24 inches or 76.2 x 156.2 x 5.99 mm and a weight of 5.11 ounces or 145 grams.
If you would like to see more details about the features and the detailed hardware specifications of this smartphone, browse its official webpage: Motorola Moto Z2 Play.
The Motorola Moto Z2 Play is a smartphone with mid-range hardware specifications: a Full HD display, 3 or 4 GB of RAM, and 32 or 64GB of internal flash storage space. If you already own some Moto Mods, the good news is that the Moto Z2 Play is compatible with all of them.
Design and build quality
The Motorola Moto Z2 Play is a smartphone that looks good and feels well made. The body is all-metal, but even so, the phone is light and thin. Unless you are adding a Moto Mod to it, the Moto Z2 Play fits perfectly in your pockets. The front of the device is home to the display, the oval fingerprint reader on the bottom, and the ear speaker, front camera, and flash to the top.
The right edge holds the usual volume and power buttons, and the top edge is where you can find the SIM cards tray.
On the bottom edge, there is the USB 3.1 Type-C port and the 3.5 mm audio jack.
The rear side of the Motorola Moto Z2 Play is the interesting part. Towards the top, you can find the camera rounded bump. Motorola squeezed the dual LED flash inside the camera module too.
Then, towards the center of the back, you can see a small Motorola logo and, on the bottom, 16 small pins and a magnet. These are used by the smartphone to connect and attach to Moto Mods.
When used with no Moto Mod attached, the Moto Z2 Play smartphone feels comfortable to hold in your hand. The metal edges are slightly rounded, and the grip you have on them is pretty good. We have also appreciated the good placement of the fingerprint reader, which is easy to find and touch, and it is also fast at unlocking the smartphone. Finally, it is also worth mentioning that, if you do not want to scratch the camera module, you can attach a back cover that protects the back of the smartphone, although it also makes it a little thicker.
The Motorola Moto Z2 Play is an Android smartphone that impresses by how light and thin it is. We did not expect that from a device with an all-metal body and a 5.5-inch screen. The design is good, although nothing out of the ordinary catches your eye. The phone feels pleasant in your hand and fits comfortably in any pocket. However, things change if you add a Moto Mod to it, though Moto Mods usually have their bags and should not stay connected to the smartphone permanently.
