Motorola is planning on announcing new smartphones in a number of mid-range and premium series this year. Some of the most exciting Motorola phones to arrive this year belong to the Moto Z2 series. Pictures of the upcoming Moto Z2 Play were recently posted by leakster Roland Quandt.

The images show Moto Z2 Play’s front panel in three color options, White/Gold, Black/Grey, and White/Silver. They seem to be part of an official set of press renders and are accompanied by a teaser, which reveals June 1 as the launch date.

The text in the ad is in Spanish and roughly translates to “You are invited to the next launch of the Moto family,” but the upcoming smartphone will surely be introduced in multiple countries around the world. The images are in line with previously leaked pictures revealing a physical home button on the front panel, with an embedded fingerprint scanner.

Moto Z2 Play will feature 4GB of RAM and a 3,000mAh battery

The phone’s specs were revealed recently when the Moto Z2 Play was subjected to benchmark tests. It’s expected to run an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 626 processor, together with 4GB of RAM and a 3,000mAh battery. The juicer is quite smaller than the 3,510mAh battery found on last year’s Moto Z Play.

Motorola reduced the battery capacity inside the new phone in order to make it thinner, while the display size will stay at 5.5 inches with a pixel resolution of 1920 x 1080. The smartphone is said to come with 64GB of internal memory and the option to expand using a microSD card.

The screen will feature 2.5D glass and the Moto Z2 Play will boast a 5MP camera in the front with support for Full HD video recording, together with a 12MP camera on the back. The phone will run Android 7.1.1 Nougat out of the box.  Last year, Motorola announced the Moto Z and Moto Z Force before unveiling the Moto Z Play, but the company is following a different strategy this year.
