The Moto Z2 Play has a USB type-C port and has support for USB 3.1 which translates to faster data transfer and charging speed. The device has a 3,000 mAh battery capacity and runs Android Nougat out of the box.  The smartphone also has FM radio support which is a breath of fresh air since most smartphones tend to ignore the feature as online streaming has taken over.

Users can now use the fingerprint sensor to carry out certain tasks which were limited to navigation keys on the screen earlier. Users can simply swipe left or right to go back or fire up the multi-tasking feature.
