    Watching on my Z2 Play! Really enjoying mine so far. Another sold review. 👍

      +Grant S hey, thanks Grant. So did Motorola supply your Z2 Play or did you buy it? I'm seriously considering just buying one because I've really enjoyed the phone.

    This phone is amazing, there are wireless speakers out there, and the only mod I would get, would be the battery pack mod

    Thanks Donavon. A request please. If possible, could you please increase your mic gain a little? Many thanks.

      +Dene. F. I didn't even notice how quiet my voice was in that video. Thanks for letting me know.

    Should I buy the Z2 Play or wait for the Moto X4 to come out? Ann compare both?

    • @donavonhornbeck
      @donavonhornbeck  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Tough call without having the X4 in hand (and without knowing the price for sure). Personally I really like the Z2 Play, so I don't have any trouble recommending it.

    When using the JBL speaker mod does all the notifications come through the speaker mod or does it use the stock one. Just curious if it's crazy loud

    It can definitely get Android 9.0 two years later,based on its battery performance .,I suppose that it could be used comfortably in two years time

    I enjoyed your video. I just bought mine 2 days ago. I'm happy with it so far but I'm replacing my Note 4 lol. I love how slim it is. my only issue with it is, there doesn't seem to be a video stabilizer..

    • @donavonhornbeck
      @donavonhornbeck  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +Viviana Lieurance you are correct, there is no built in video stabilization.

    • @drnikhhil

      Viviscruisen Coins it has electronic image stabilization.

    don't compare it to flagship phones. it's a midrange

  • @bobarnold771

    I just got one of these. What's the purpose of the dual SIM card, should I order a second one?

  • @RuKSkrllXx
    @RuKSkrllXx 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This phone needs to be unlocked in order to get it without apps from the carrier

    I am at the end of my rope with my LG G5. Too many issues to list, but I did love the phone before they came about. I am debating between this or a refurbished LG V20. Thoughts? Opinions? Any body.

    • @donavonhornbeck
      @donavonhornbeck  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Marc Merlot too many issues with V20's from what I've heard. The cameras on the V20 are definitely better, but outside of that I feel like the experience on the Z2 Play is better. Despite having a "lower end" processor, the Z2 Play is definitely the better performer of the 2.
      Obviously this is just my opinion, but for me it would be an easy choice between the two.

    Hi Donavon...im really interested on moto z2 play.. likely to purchase soon.. but its true that the phone not support Tethering Mobile Hotspot ? pitty to my daughter because she need to share my internet data

    Contemplating on picking up this device but your review is swaying me towards getting it

    • @donavonhornbeck
      @donavonhornbeck  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +BOSS it's definitely one worth considering. What other phones are you considering at this point?

    • @THExGUARD1ANx
      @THExGUARD1ANx 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Donavon Hornbeck I was thinking about the Moto z play or Moto z2 force

    • @donavonhornbeck
      @donavonhornbeck  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      The benefit of the Z2 Force would be the better processor, but for what it's worth, the SD626 on the Z2 Play does really well. I'm sure you can get the original Z Play at a good price at this point, but the camera would be the biggest negative on that phone, but the battery life is fantastic.

    • @THExGUARD1ANx
      @THExGUARD1ANx 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Donavon Hornbeck Thanks for the info I think I'm gonna pickup the Z2 play

    • @missfayg3242
      @missfayg3242 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Relate! Been watching a lot of reviews lately. Been choosing between z play and z2 play. I love taking photos but i guess the build is what really matters.

    My mom lives in Florida and she can't answer the phone when the screen is dark. She swipes and gets a message option to send that she will call them later, but the call just goes to voice mail. I am sure there is a simple fix. Can you tell me how she can just answer this phone when the screen is off. She is fine when it is open and she gets the answer or ignore. Can you help?

  • @rolandoparra1473
    @rolandoparra1473 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Between Z2 Play and Z Play at same price... wich one u pick and why?

    • @donavonhornbeck
      @donavonhornbeck  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Rolando Parra I would say the Z2 Play. You use some battery life, but it will get support from Motorola for longer, and the camera on the Z2 Play is definitely better.

    I used to own the OG Moto X and loved the design. These new design I don't like it. Especially that button on the front screen.

    • @donavonhornbeck
      @donavonhornbeck  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Frank Fabian are you talking about the home button/fingerprint sensor?
      As for the Moto X line... Word on the street is that it will be revived with the Moto X4 this year. I hope the rumors are true. I'm also really interested in the new Moto G5s that is supposed to be released soon.

    How îs the camera in general?

    • @donavonhornbeck
      @donavonhornbeck  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Andrei Gazsi it isn't the best camera out there, but it's definitely not terrible either. In good lighting the picture quality is good and detailed. In low light it's not as good as a high end flagship phone, but it will still do a decent job of bringing in some light.

    Moto z2 play or Asus zenphone 4?

    • @donavonhornbeck
      @donavonhornbeck  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I'd personally go with the Z2 Play, but that's mostly based on a software experience. I really like the Motorola near stock Android feel, and Asus' skin on top of Android is just a bit too much for me. Not that the Zenfone 4 is a bad phone by any means, but the software experience just bugs me.

      Verizon is a manor US carrier but the bands are unique CDMA, and are not compatible with GSM systems. They Moto has 2 versions of the phone. One for Verizon and one for all GSM carriers.
