Here’s our first photos taken straight from the Moto Z2 Play’s camera

Yesterday we gave you our take of Motorola’s new smartphone, the Moto Z2 Play. The new device, among other things, is slimmer and easier to hold in the hands compared to the original, and is equipped with a far better rear camera, at least on paper. A 12-megapixel shooter coupled with a f/1.7 lens, PDAF and OIS promises to deliver better snaps than last year’s iteration.
