Amazon Brings Moto Z3 Play And Moto G6 Play To Prime Exclusive Family

Amazon is adding two new devices to its Prime Exclusive Phones lineup, and both come from Motorola (a subsidiary of Lenovo). The Moto Z3 Play and Moto G6 Play will both be available starting June 29th unlocked out of the box.

The Moto G6 Play is the more affordable entry, priced at just $189.99. In return, you get a 5.7-inch 1440x720 display, a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 427 processor, 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. You can always expand your storage, however, thanks to a microSD slot which supports up to 128GB cards. A 13MP camera is found on the back of the smartphone, while a 5MP sensor is found up front. A fingerprint reader is included, and the smartphone runs Android O out of the box.

The Moto Z3 Play brings with it a Snapdragon 636 processor, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of internal storage and a microSD slot. It has a Super AMOLED display that measures 6 inches diagonally and has a resolution of 2160x1080. There are dual cameras on the rear (12MP + 5MP) and an 8MP front-facing camera. The smartphone also ships with a Moto Power Pack Mod, which pushes battery life "up to" 40 hours. And for a limited time, you'll receive a Moto Smart Speaker for free. 

The Moto Z3 Play usually costs $499.99, but Amazon is offering the device for $449.99 representing a $50 discount.

Both smartphones come unlocked ready to operate on Verizon Wireless, AT&T, T-Mobile or Sprint networks. Likewise, they both come with support for the Amazon Alexa AI assistant, which can be invoked via a double tap of the power button. 

Being that these are Prime Exclusive Phones, they come preloaded with an entire suite of Amazon apps including Prime Video, Prime Photos, Amazon Shopping, etc. However, you won't have to endure lock screen ads, as was the case with previous devices.
