 By Vaibhav Jain on April 22, 2017       

Modular phone was first introduced by LG back at the MWC 2016 with the LG G5. However, it was Lenovo who took the concept to a whole new level with their Moto Z range of phones. The Moto Z and Z Force being high-end flagship phones while the Moto Z Play is the lower-specced, slightly cheaper version of the flagship Moto Z.

With Moto Z Play you get a 5.5" full HD screen, a Snapdragon 625 SoC and a 16MP camera. It's 7mm thin and comes with a headphone jack. In terms of design, it doesn't differ much from the Moto Z, though this one comes with a glass back.

Priced right, the Moto Z Play became much popular due to it's bigger battery paired with Snapdragon 625 SoC. Due to the falling demand of the Original Moto Z over the Z Play, The Standard Moto Z is now available at much cheaper rates than the Moto Z Play. As posted by a reddit user, the Standard Moto Z now costs 249 Euro while the Moto Z Play is available at 359 Euro at Saturn (Store) in Germany.

In the next popular comment, a user replies "Some people don't need 1440p or the SD821, and would get far more benefit out of much better battery life. Besides, 1080p and the SD625 are both enough for many people. I would have still bought the Z Play even if the regular Z was cheaper." The thread has since turned into each subsequent user commenting that they will still choose the Moto Z Play over the Standard Moto Z, because Why not?
