The iconic "Hello Moto" ringtone and simple flip feel can often evoke our memories. Since last year, Moto has launched a brand new series of moto z products. While continuing the classic with thin blade design, it won the industry surprise with modular concept. It makes people suddenly realize that the original mobile phone can still play like this.

Now Moto has released a new generation of modular products-Moto Z2 Play. How many surprises are hidden under the slim and classic fuselage? After some experience, the author will share with you various ways of playing moto z2.

First of all, let's briefly understand the hardware parameters of moto z2 play through a table.

examination

In terms of parameters, moto z2 play adopts the most mature configuration combination at present. 4GB+64GB can meet basic multi-tasking and storage requirements. Xiaolong 626 processor adopts 14nm FinFET process, and with the high energy efficiency performance of Cortex-A53 architecture, it has lower power consumption and less heat generation. It has been well received in the past year, and it is competent for daily operations and games without any problems.

"Slim appearance.

On the whole, moto z2 play inherits the product design of moto z series, and it is still a blade slim body. Moto also emphasized that moto z2 play has an ultra-thin thickness of 5.99mm and a sharp visual effect on the side, which is extremely eye-catching. It may be more appropriate to apply the phrase "sharpness and heterogeneity in the physical age" In addition, moto z2 play only weighs 145g, and the comfortable radian of the polished frame makes the whole machine less laborious to hold in your hand and feel nothing.

On the positive side, moto z2 play is basically the same as the previous generation. It covers 2.5D glass, adopts a 5.5-inch full HD AMOLED screen, and has a double color temperature flash on the left side of the top, which can fill the light when taking a selfie.

On the back, the rear camera of moto z2 play protrudes from the back of the fuselage, and the bottom is the metal contact "Mods Smart Surface" for connecting modules. It adopts gold-plated waterproof and antioxidant treatment, and is attached to the module by magnetic force to support immediate use.

Compared with the previous generation moto z series products, moto z2 play also has some changes in appearance. Firstly, the shape of fingerprint recognition is changed, and the front fingerprint is changed from the previous rounded rectangle to the waist circle, and the metal ring that wraps the fingerprint recognition area is cancelled, so the integration is better. In terms of interaction, this fingerprint identification key also supports the interaction of tapping back and long pressing back to the main interface, which is more conducive to the user's one-handed operation.

Secondly, the back antenna of moto z2 play has been redesigned, and there is an annular injection belt around the fuselage. Moto calls it a dynamic intelligent tuning loop antenna, including 4G, Wi-Fi, NFC and other antennas, with very rich functions. With the help of Qualcomm trusignal technology, moto z2 play can intelligently detect the user's hand-held state, and switch the main antenna and the auxiliary antenna accordingly, thus effectively avoiding the occurrence of dead grip.

"System experience

Moto's products have always used Android native system, which has become its unique symbol. However, for domestic users who are used to customizing systems, the native interface design and interactive logic are not easy to accept, so moto z2 play adopts a more grounded ZUI3.0, which is the latest Android 7. 1. 1 kernel.

ZUI3.0 is more concise in design. There is no native Android two-tier desktop design. The application used is tiled on the desktop. Icons are based on the most basic circles and squares, and bright colors make people feel fresh and tidy.

Under ZUI3.0, Moto's classic human-computer interaction function is retained. The first is Moto voice. When the screen is off, you can wake up the phone and enter the voice assistant by saying the preset password. More intelligently, moto z2 can recognize different people's voices and only respond to the preset owner's voice, so that your mobile phone only listens to you.

After experience, Moto voice has a high accuracy, which can basically help car owners deal with some daily life. I am used to setting the alarm clock with Moto voice before going to bed, which is very convenient.

In addition to voice interaction, moto z2 play also supports gesture operation. Shake the phone left and right to start the camera quickly, and shake the phone up and down to turn on the flashlight. These functions have certain practical significance. Especially when the camera is turned on, the trigger rate is almost 100%, which can be completed from when the user takes out his mobile phone to when the mobile phone is ready to take pictures with both hands.

There is also Moto display, which is the Always On function that we often talk about recently. Using the self-luminous characteristics of AMOLED screen, information such as time and message will be displayed directly in the state of black screen, which balances power consumption and practicality well. It should be said that in terms of human-computer interaction, Moto has indeed made certain features. Coupled with the more grounded ZUI blessing, moto z2 play now has a mature system experience.

"12 megapixel imaging experience

The camera performance of moto z2 play is worth looking forward to, which is reflected in the parameters. Equipped with1200,000 pixel sensor, 1.4μm pixel area and large aperture of F 1.7, these characteristics determine that the light input of moto z2 play will be greatly improved during imaging, bringing more exquisite details and pure colors, especially improving the performance at night. In addition, moto z2 play supports full-pixel dual-core focusing and laser focusing, which can capture the position change of the subject sensitively and focus in time.

It is no exaggeration to say that moto z2 play has the strongest camera hardware of moto's models, so what is the actual performance? Let's look at the specific performance through the proofs.

During the day, the performance of moto z2 play is worthy of recognition, with sufficient exposure and rich colors, and the first impression is good. Thanks to the blessing of full-pixel dual-core focusing and laser focusing, moto z2 play has a very fast focusing, and it has left a deep impression without dragging the bellows.

In terms of night scene, the brightness of moto z2 play can be guaranteed, and the noise is also suppressed. However, there are some smear marks when zooming in, and there is still room for improvement.

"Modular experience

As the biggest selling point of moto z2 play, modular design has become its unique symbol. Moto z2 play has a 16 pin interface on the back cover and the bottom of the module. When a mobile phone is connected to an intelligent module, the functions of the module can be extended through pin contact between them.

Moto z2 play is connected with the module simply and smoothly by magnetic attraction, and the module combination is completed with one key, which provides great convenience and should be regarded as a relatively perfect modular solution at present. Based on this scheme, moto z2 play brings more interesting gameplay, and the author has experienced the combination of moto z2 play and Moe-Eye Hasselblad photography module.

Most directly, Hasselblad camera module provides optical zoom of 10 times. Compared with the ordinary mobile phone with digital zoom, the Hasselblad camera module can be magnified ten times and clear. For the simplest example, shoot a ball game or concert with the Hasselblad camera module. Even if you are in the distant stands, you can clearly shoot the stars. Look at the proofs first.

The face of the player can be clearly distinguished from the proofs, and even the tattoo of the details can be clearly seen. Compared with the fuzziness of ordinary mobile phones, the shock brought by this clarity cannot be attached. Of course, due to the zoom of 10 times, slight jitter has a greater impact on the picture, so it requires more stability of the photographer's hand, and it is easy to paste the film if it is not careful. Therefore, it is recommended to use Hasselblad camera module with tripod and other stable equipment.

In addition, during the experience, the author also found that the MoEye Hasselblad camera module focuses slowly and the shooting has a certain delay. Presumption is the initial adaptation problem of the system. After all, moto mods needs to run in with the brand-new ZUI, hoping to improve it as soon as possible. It should be said that the Hasselblad camera module meets the zoom requirements of mobile phones well, while moto also provides other modules to meet a variety of needs, including Mo Fan, Ink Point, Yin Mo, Ink Shadow, etc., corresponding to the expansion of personalized back shell, supplementary power supply, professional audio, projection and other functions. , making moto z2' s gameplay more varied and interesting, and realizing the function beyond the boundaries of mobile phones.

"summary

Moto z2 play inherits the family-style blade design and modular concept, and retains that personality in the highly homogeneous mobile phone market. At the same time, moto z2 play has also absorbed some opinions, the system is more localized and the camera has been upgraded. The mainstream large-pixel high-sensitivity sensor is adopted, which supports full-pixel dual-core focusing and laser focusing, which significantly improves the imaging and makes moto z2 a powerful model.

It is worth mentioning that in combination with Transformers 5 released this summer, moto also launched a number of customized Transformers modules, decorated with cool Transformers textures, making moto? Z2 play is more fashionable. Therefore, if you are well-funded and keen to pursue a novel and personalized experience, this moto z2 play will be your best choice.
