However, the resolution is a bit down from last year’s Moto Z2 but the same as the Z3 play. That’s a 2160 X 1080 pixels resolution on a 6.01-inch screen and don’t forget the deep blacks of the AMOLED display.

Battery and Camera

There is not much of battery capacity on the smartphone which usually is the norm for most of today’s smartphones. It has a mere 3, 000mAh battery inside with a fast charging as well as USB Type-C.
