The UI is always fluid, there are no lags. The device handles High-Graphics games smoothly. Moto Z Play has acceptable performance in this price.

The specifications are not competitive at this price. But The Performance is fast and smooth , Stock Android Marshmallow adds more sweetness to its performance. Though the Device will be getting Android 7.0 Nougat by the end of this year.

Software-

The device comes out with Pure Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow with Pre-loaded Moto, Moto File manager and Moto Mods Application. The Moto App contains Moto Actions, Moto Voice and Moto Display.

The Moto Display which shows Notifications at a glance was always been a great feature. The Shrink screen makes the screen smaller for one-handed use. 

Pros and Cons -

Pros -
