In addition, the Moto Z Play is also expected to come with a 16MP primary camera unit, along with a 5MP front-facing shooter. The smartphone is also expected to run Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow out-of-the-box.

While there’s no information about the battery capacity on the GFXBench listing, a TENNA listing earlier spotted suggests the device will come with a 3300mAh or a 3510 mAh battery. All the specifications revealed on GFXBench, reconfirm some of the device’s key specifications earlier listed on TENNA and Antutu. The smartphone is expected to come in Black and White color options, according to the images posted on TENNA.

Apart from the Moto Z Play, the company has two other smartphones that’ll be a part of the new Moto Z line-up – the Moto Z Droid and the Moto Z Force.

The Moto Z Force is expected to get a 5.5-inch AMOLED capacitive touchscreen with a pixel density of 535ppi. It gets the same processor, and the same amount of RAM and storage as the Z Droid and the only major difference is the camera.
