Exclusive: Moto Z Play DROID

 By Felipe Berhau on August 30, 2016       

The secret is out! Verizon and Motorola will launch a Moto Z Play Droid in the USA by the end of the year. 

We've seen the Moto Z Play all over the news these past weeks, and now one more variant has come to us: the Verizon Droid Edition. Since we got a picture of its "Hardware information" section, we can confirm some specs. 

The Z Play Droid will feature a 5.5" 1080p display instead of the QHD one found on the Z and Z Force variants. It will come with 3GB of RAM and 16GB on board memory. Previous leaks also confirmed a Snapdragon 625 processor, clocked at 2Ghz and a 6.99mm thin body, though it's not aluminum this time.

On top of that, you can expect a 16/5MP camera set-up with a front facing LED flash. We wonder why the "Play" version gets a bigger camera than the premium Moto Z... Oh, and there's a 3.5mm headset jack in there.

Other than that, expect it to come with Verizon apps and UI changes, though one good news is that it runs Android 6.0.1 with July's security patch. We expect this phone to be released by the fourth quarter. Thanks to our source, here are some pictures of the Motorola Moto Z Play Droid. Enjoy!
