To refresh, the new Moto E3 is powered by a Mediatek SoC with quad-core 1.0GHz processor, and sports a 5-inch HD display. Lenovo had announced the Moto E3 back in July and now the company might unveil the smartphone in India at an event on 19 September. Motorola, which is Lenovo’s subsidiary behind the device also has increased the size of battery to 2,800mAh which is decent considering the size of the phone’s screen and type of processor it packs in.

Having a Xenon flash instead of the LED used by many smartphone cameras provides greater illumination. It also carries a 5-megapixel camera on the front. But specification-wise it is closer to Moto G3.

Moto Z Play is the third member of the recently launched Moto Z line. For graphics it has a Adreno 306 GPU. There is an 8-megapixel rear-facing shooter and a 5-megapixel front-facing camera on board. It includes 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage that can be further expanded via provided MicroSD card slot.

Alongside, is a 3.5mm audio jack which was absent in the siblings, and as well is a water-repellent nano-coating.
