Moto Z Play With Snapdragon 625 Spotted On GeekBench

Last week Motorola announced two new handset: the Moto Z and the Moto Z Force. However a rumor that was posted a couple of days later suggested that was not all Motorola had up their sleeves, and that we could possibly be looking forward to at least one more Motorola handset in the form of the Moto Z Play.

The rumors suggested that the phone would be powered by a Snapdragon 625 chipset instead of the Snapdragon 820 powering the Moto Z and Moto Z Force, and sure enough it looks like those rumors could be true after all. Thanks to a recent sighting on GeekBench, a certain Motorola handset with the model number XT1635 has been spotted and it is powered by a Snapdragon 625 chipset.

Other specs spotted on GeekBench include 3GB of RAM and Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow. It should be noted that the previous rumor suggested 2GB of RAM, not 3GB, so we’re not sure if the rumor was wrong, or maybe we could be looking at a completely different device, or possibly even a variant. After all the benchmarks don’t specifically mention the Moto Z Play name.

In any case take it with a grain of salt but from what we can tell, there is at least one more Motorola handset in the works. The earlier rumor also stated that we could look forward to more Moto Mods that weren’t announced, so we’ll be keeping our eyes peeled.
