This phone is available in a wide range of colors: black, gold, gray and white. Talking about its materials quality, the Motorola Moto Z Play is made with Glass and Metal . The feels much lighter than what you expect from a phone of this size. This device is incredibly thin and stilized, with a thickness of just 0.28 inches. This cellphone is a compact phone, taking into account that it has a 5.5" screen and it's only 6.16 inches long.

Motorola decided to equip this cellphone with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 8953 system chip, packing a high performance Octa-Core processing unit speeding at 2 gigahertz and a big 3 GB of RAM. This cellphone comes with a 32 GB great internal memory and an SD memory slot, which allows the user to install tons of applications, games, songs, photos and videos without worrying about running out of space at all.
