Why do we say all of this, or add it to our review of the phone?
To illustrate a point.
That point being this is not the situation we wanted Motorola to be in for the second half of We like the feel of the Z phones and the Moto Z3 is no exception. Curves are great and all, but we are cool with the design choices which call to mind more of a platter or slice.. The only other option is to go with the Z3 Play and pick up the phone though Motorola. To be fair, that might be a better all around option, especially if you may hop carriers in the near future.
It does take some time getting familiar with the physical layout of the Moto Z3 as the fingerprint reader is located on the side. It just takes time to adapt from a rear reader or front-facing one under the display. Looking ahead, this would be a good, albeit small, way for Motorola to differentiate itself from other phone makers. The Z3 is fun to look at, especially up close.
The 2. The aspect ratio is new for the models and we like its presence. Does this big screen translate to an unwieldy phone that needs to hands to operate? Happily, no.

Why two cameras? One captures your standard images while the other, monochrome sensor is what helps add even more detail and clarity. As for results, we found the two cameras complement each other well, giving users good control over depth. Results may vary for some of the more unique features like spot color or cutout mode. Our suggestion is to play around with these for some time and feel out the boundaries before you get into a situation where you come away with undesirable shots or finished products. We found the Z3 takes very sharp pictures with good contrast, exposure, and white balance.

The brightness issue is a shame, because the Z3 Play has an otherwise fine screen, with excellent color reproduction and a choice of realistic and vivid display profiles. A picnic in the park.
Considering the overall price, the majority of images we captured would be considered good or great. Fortunately, we knew what we were getting into with the Z3. Motorola does a fantastic job of keeping things light and lively, often leaving the operating system almost untouched.

Below it, the Motorola logo and some microphone holes. On the right, our side-mounted fingerprint scanner that is just that, a fingerprint scanner and not a power button which might have made more sense. On the back, we have our dual camera setup featuring a 12MP f1. Also in the camera circle, is our dual LED flash.
One of the beauties of Motorola devices is that they are running pretty much stock Android and the Moto Z3 Play is no exception.
