Moto Z3 vs Moto Z3 Play: What to Know

Release Date & Price

What makes this choice even more confusing and difficult is the price. And while we appreciate Motorola's wallet-friendly price of the Moto Z3, we don't understand it. 

The Moto Z3 will be available starting August 16th in the United States from Verizon Wireless. You can get one for $480 or pay $20 a month. That's a pretty great deal. It's really affordable. 

As for the Moto Z3 Play, it launched earlier this summer and is available as we speak on Motorola.com for $499. You can take it to almost any carrier you want, except for Verizon, and it works great. You're paying $20 more for a device that's nearly identical in every way.
