Rumours are rife that the Moto Z2 Play will be more of a downgrade when compared to the Moto Z Play, rather than an upgrade. According to the latest leak, Motorola will announce the phone at the Computex 2017 event in Taipei and in Brazil on June 1, 2017. Furthermore, a user has posted the images of the Moto Z2 Play along with the sealed package on Google Plus. He also posted the screenshot of the CPU-Z application which confirmed the complete specifications of the phone.

The Moto Z2 Play will support the first generation Moto Mods, but this time around Motorola will call them as ‘Moto Snaps.’ Also, the user claims that the device does not feature the glass body the back. Instead, it has an aluminium body, which is a welcome change because the Z Play was a fingerprint magnet. However, you can use the Moto Style Mod to stay away from the fingerprints.

Coming to the specifications of the phone, the Z2 Play will feature the same 5.5-inch Full HD display as its predecessor. Motorola is going with the same display size because of the Moto Mods. The major disappointment with the Z2 Play is the internals. The phone will pack a 2.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 626 SoC, which offers just 10 percent better performance than the Snapdragon 625 used in the Moto Z Play. Also, the performance improvement can’t be seen in real life scenarios.
