It seems Lenovo and Motorola are almost ready to announce the Moto Z3 mid-range smartphone line as leaked case renders and FCC-approved specs are starting to surface online. First spotted by the NashvilleChatterClass blog, the technical specifications for the Moto Z3 Play have already been approved by the FCC under the IHDT56XE5 ID, and the phone should officially be announced this April.
According to the FCC application file, the Moto Z3 Play will come with a 6.1-inch display and the chassis seem to be the same size as that on the Z2, so all current Moto Mods should work on the Z3, as well. There will be two version powered by the Snapdragon 636 SoC – one with 4 GB RAM + 32 GB storage and a more expensive one with 4 GB RAM + 64 GB storage – both getting a 3,000 mAh battery, dual SIM option and a fingerprint reader somewhere on the back. The imaging hardware includes a 5 MP selfie cam and a dual 12 MP + 8 MP camera on the back.
The Moto Z3 Play will be available in North America through Verizon, as well as in Brazil and other Latin American countries. The FFC file does not reveal any pricing info, but the speculated MSRP is somewhere between US$450-500.

I first stepped into the wondrous IT&C world when I was around seven years old. I was instantly fascinated by computerized graphics, whether they were from games or 3D applications like 3D Max. I'm also an avid reader of science fiction, an astrophysics aficionado, and a crypto geek. I started writing PC-related articles for Softpedia and a few blogs back in 2006. I joined the Notebookcheck team in the summer of 2017 and am currently a senior tech writer mostly covering processor, GPU, and laptop news.
