Some of the key expected features of the Moto Z2 Play include 5.5in full HD Super AMOLED display with 401ppi pixel density and Corning Gorilla Glass 2 protection. The smartphone will be powered by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 626 octa-core processor which is clocked at 2.2GHz and paired with either 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage or 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, depending on the configuration chosen by the user.
