Did Motorola just tease the possible design of the Moto Z2 Play with the gamepad moto mod? I remade the design accordingly.
That's a G5.
Show us the back!

The G5 doesn't have a front facing flash. Check the one on the gamepad mod carefully and also the Moto G5 is not compatible with Moto Mods because it does not have the connectors on the back.

I'll try to reproduce the back later. I think they might go with an all metal design too.

They obviously won't say "oh yeah, here's the new Moto Z Play design". Moto Mods, front facing flash and one microphone right beside the fingerprint scanner. This is definitely the Z2 Play.
We'll have to wait and see I guess.

Even if it is new Z, what the hell makes you think it's Play? It can by any Z.

Why are you so rude dude? It's just an opinion geez. The Moto Z has 2 microphones on the front, and the Z Play only has one (like the one in the picture). It will also make more sense to promote the Z Play on a gamepad because of the battery life and also "Play" as the name suggests you "Play" on a gamepad.
Not rude, just straightforward without sugarcoating with sarcastic touch.
Anyway, you are trying to apply same logic from old Z to new Z. There no info whatsoever about hardware in new Zs. Your assumptions are based on not a single concrete evidence of any sort.

You ARE rude. I think it has a reason some of your posts in this forum were already deleted by admin. Just think about it. Your tone has nothing to do with sarcasm. To say somebody tells BS when he is just thinking loud without hurting somebody is no sarcasm. It is RUDE.
OP never said that this IS the new Z play. Just for your information: There was a big fat question mark in the title.
I think that the OP might be right. But it's also possible, that this is only a free designers interpretation of a Z (Play or whatever). We can't know at this time. So no need for any unkind discussion at this point.
He thinks that Play has literal meaning. Why he thinks that is beyond me because even original MZP wasn't intended for games.

The size must be exactly same to make sure the mods still matches
Looks super similar to what I predicted
Looks too much like a Moto G5 for my taste. Hope they don't lower battery capacity.

Hey!
Hey! I'll buy either the Z1C or the LG G2, which one should I buy? Could you help me please? Advantages/disadvantages with either phone? And try not to be to much of a "fan-boy" please
I want a good mobile camera but I've heard about camera freeze issues every 5 photos or so? Is that fixed? And how good is the camera really? I've heard different opinions about that! And what about that Sony forget about their "older phones" is that true? I know Z1C will get Android 5.0 but after that? Do they send out bugfixes frequently? For how long do you guys think that Sony will support Z1C? Anything else I should be aware of or forgotten to ask about?
I'm not buying any other phone than one of these so please don't suggest any other ones, thanks in advance and sorry for my english

Good morning,
your English is just fine, but your questions. Sorry, you can find all the answers on the net. Who knows now how long Sony will support Z1c? Lollipop is coming sometime in the first half of next year. I do not really know the G2 but for me that size is already too big. I have never experienced camera freezes and never hadproblems with picture quality (which is a personal issue I think).
Hope that help.
Best regards

1: Are you happy with the phone overall? 2: Is there lots of support from people on this site? I mean Sony will stop the support to Z1C in the future and it would be nice to know that I might be able to get the support from people on here for atleast a couple of years or so when Sony stops sending out updates/bugfixes
Thanks for taking your time.

I am absolutely happy with my "precious". Despite the fact that you better use protection from the 1st minute, it will satisfy my needs for a long time. As for support, I am quite sure there will be developers to provide some very fine custom ROMs for the device for a number of years.

Hi
I have a Sony Xperia Z1 Compact and I am considering the upgrade to the G4.
Could you please give me your honest opinion if this the right upgrade or do I go for the Z3+? Or oneplus one?
Thanks

Please check the OnePlus One forum on XDA and their website. People here and there have so much info on what is wrong with the device and also the company, and the support they are willing to provide.

Lol, the people I know using 1+1 are praising it so much it's ridiculous. I got the G4 and immediately they told me their 1+ is as good as the G4 for less money but we all know what the situation really is.
And for the OP, I came from the Z1 to the G4. The Z1 and G4 can't even be compared, G4 is far more superior than the Z1. My speaker mesh on the Z1 fell off, a hatch fell off, my mic quit working, the AUX quit working and the phone lagged all day every day...
if camera is your priority, then definitely yes.
if you want a premium looking phone, this isn't really one though you can still try the leather version which looks gorgeous. The non-leather version is as plastic as you can get among all the flagship phones now, and I don't like it.
Even though the plastic back is available i believe most people go for the leather back. If not i still feel as it is a high end phone.

So information also. Gtk.
"The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time."
Just because I'm not here for magical ROMs, kewl kernelz, and hacks like Xposed doesn't mean I'm wasting my time. There is other info on here. Infact there is more non-ROM related info than ROM info (Moto Z2 Play).
If farting around with your phone is a big deal to you then you bought the wrong one. You should have forked out the dough for a Pixel or settled for an OP.

I rooted mine a couple weeks ago and finally had the time to flash Dolby Atmos. It took me a bit of effort to find a version that would work (CrisFix from a Samsung thread).
My next endeavor will probably be Xposed / Gravity Box.
Cool. I did notice a few posts on here looking for testers to help with various development projects ongoing for the z2 play so theres that as well.
Awesome
Thats really cool! I will totally check it out haha
Maybe it will give me some luck in my troubles im having haha

Well, the issue is, (Should have specified, sorry!)... the actual NFC option doesn't work. When I toggle it on, it stays greyed out and just return to being off. The NFC on my phone works perfectly normally, but even since I returned from LineageOS to stock, it doesn't work now..

I had a similar issue. Do some googling on the issue to confirm, but it sounds like it can be a general issue with any Moto phones.
To fix it, I believe the solution for me was to wipe both modem partitions (I think). Anyway, do some searching to confirm what I'm saying, just to make sure!
So, a friend of mine is having troubles with the Google play store, so I recommended him to get a custom Rom. since the guy is an illiterate in the matter I have to do the research for him, and I really like to know if the hardware model is right before going ahead. Is this the right model or is this another phone? H-2-01? Thanks in advance
When I search the for h-2-01 I only found a thread at zukfans for the zuk z2 pro. Look at the back from his smartphone packaging. There are only 2 models, z2 (plus) and z2 pro. Or please don't be so lazy and search the internet for pictures and you will know which model it is.
But nice that your friend doesn't know what he bought. Lol.

I haven't actually added or tried any accessories with a case yet, I assumed the magnetic portions of them would allow it to connect. It appears that perhaps the only type of protection, with accessories, would be a bumper type case. I guess I don't have enough knowledge on the issue, did not mean to waste anyone's time.
