This a renovation of a similar phone produced by Motorola, I know am bringing you this late, but i could not just go pass this device from Motorola, this is one of the best smartphones which was produced, Motorola Moto Z2 Play.

Now note this; This phone wasn’t the flashiest phone, didn’t have the fastest processor or best camera, and didn’t have the highest-resolution display , it has some features that are very unique, the phone is much slimmer and more comfortable to use as a result, I like the aspect of reducing the thickness and weight of the phone by using a smaller battery made by Motorola.
