92. Look hard at the first gen moto z play

Tue Sep 12, 2017, 10:31 PM

Sep 2017

I looked at quite a few phones before choosing the Moto z .

You can pick one up for about $350 now and up until recently it was the battery king. With heavy use a full charge will go 24 hours . With moderate use I often go 2 days on a charge.

It actually took me a few weeks to get used to not panicking if I was not near a charger. Now I have the opposite problem the battery last me so long I often forget to plug it in for a day or two and then realize walking out the door I am at 10 percent. On the plus side 15 minutes on the charger will get you a half days worth of charge.

Camera is not the best but is good enough.

Favorite phone for me so far and I have used a bunch of them.
