NEW YORK, June 1, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Meet the next-generation Moto Z² Play. It's thinner, lighter and faster and you can use your favorite Moto Mods to transform it into a projector, stereo speaker and more in a snap. The Moto Z² Play will be available exclusively from Motorola and Verizon this summer, meaning you'll have it in time to jam out to tunes on the beach or watch movies in your backyard under the stars.

The Moto Z² Play builds on Motorola's legacy of innovation and delivers more of the features you care about most. Get up to 30 hours on a single charge^* and receive 8 hours of power in just 15 minutes with TurboPower™ charging^**. Shoot stunning photos day or night with Motorola's first camera that combines laser and dual autofocus pixels and show off your favorite photos on the Moto Z² Play's brilliant, 5.5" full HD Super AMOLED display. All this in a precision-crafted metal unibody design that's water repellent and elegant.

Moto Mod your life

Introduced last year, the Moto Mod system changed the way we think of mobile technology. With Moto Mods that easily snap onto the back of your Moto Z² Play, you can quickly boost your battery capacity with the TUMI wireless charging power pack, capture professional quality photos with the Hasselblad True Zoom camera or entertain your kids for hours with the Insta-Share projector. And that's just a start. Verizon offers all the latest Moto Mods to enhance your Moto experience with more to come.

Photograph your world – day or night

Take sharper photographs – even in low light – thanks to dual-pixel technology. Using 10 times the number of pixels and a large f/1.7 aperture, the Moto Z2 Play captures 25% more light, so you never miss a moment. The 12MP rear camera can capture stellar photos day or night and is the first Moto camera that combines laser and dual autofocus pixels. Not to be outdone, the 5MP wide-angle front camera includes the first dual CCT front-facing flash for brighter, more color accurate images, which translates to great selfies in any situation. Paired with Verizon unlimited, you can rest assured that all your precious moments are uploaded to your favorite cloud storage or social sharing site.

Navigate and secure your Moto Z² Play with a swipe

The Moto Z² Play improves on the fingerprint reader with the all new one-button nav. Access password-secured websites on any trusted device, and even unlock your laptop with a single touch using your phone's fingerprint reader. You can also use it to easily navigate your phone's menus and apps. Swipe left to go back, right to access recent apps, tap to go home and use one long press to lock your phone. And with no physical buttons on the screen, you get more display with less clutter.

The Moto Z² Play will be available in Lunar Gray and Fine Gold on Verizon this summer. Visit verizonwireless.com on Friday, June 2 for more information.
