Moto's camera tricks don't end there, either. You can fiddle with the depth of field before and after snapping the photo, but even that manual control, it's still difficult to make sure a person's hair doesn't fade into the blurry background. The effect generally works well enough, though it did sometimes struggle to separate the subject from the background. The secondary 5-megapixel camera only comes in to play when you want to fill your portrait backgrounds with some lovely bokeh. Giving people one of its most popular, most valuable accessories for free sure is a kind move on Motorola's part, but I have to wonder if by doing so, Moto is limiting the growth for the rest of its Mod market. This year, Moto's really gunning to ensure the Z3 Play lasts as long as you need it to - if you buy the phone unlocked this summer for $499, you'll find one of the company's 2,220mAh battery Mods inside the box. That said, they're much cheaper and generally have better battery life. If you haven't been keeping up, here's the thing about the Z Play series: they usually show up a few months ahead of Moto's full-blown flagship device and lack the sheer speed those flashier phones offer. This time, we're looking at the Moto Z3 Play - it's the follow-up to one of the brand's most beloved smartphones, and as you might've guessed from the name, it's fully compatible with all of Motorola's magnetic Mod accessories. It wasn't that long ago that Motorola revealed its new G-series phones, and it's already giving us yet another option to consider.
