Much like the Moto Z and Moto Z Force, the Moto Z Play also has the connector pins at the bottom back of the device.

Prior to the leaked images, the supposed specs of the Moto Z Play have already made their rounds online. According to speculations based on a "leaked" TENAA certification listing, the Moto Z Play will have almost the same dimensions as the flagships, and will feature a 5.5-inch screen.

Meanwhile, it is rumored that the new addition will carry an octa-core Snapdragon 625 chipset with 3GB of RAM. Onboard storage is pegged at 64GB, and it is said to be expandable via microSD.

For its features, the Moto Z Play is said to sport a 16MP main shooter at the back, an in-between setup against the 13MP shooter on the Moto Z and the 21MP camera on the Moto Z Force. However, as with the flagships, the Moto Z Play can still capture adequate images, and is also said to feature 4K video capture.
