The new device looks pretty similar to its predecessor, with the same 5.5" FHD AMOLED screen with Gorilla Glass and a now rounded, front chin-mounted fingerprint scanner that's reminiscent of many 2017 phones. It is noticeably thinner, however, by a full millimeter. The reason for that is a smaller battery, 3000 mAh compared to the 3510 mAh unit in the first generation model. That will no doubt lead to shorter battery life, but hopefully not by too much. The Z2 Play features a mid-tier
Qualcomm Snapdragon 626 processor, an Adreno 506 GPU, and will ship with
Android 7.1.1 Nougat. There are two choices featuring different memory and storage options, 3GB RAM with 32GB storage or 4GB Ram with 64GB storage, and there's also a MicroSD card for expansion.
