Moto Z2 Play - Processor Quality?

[lanc3lot]

Hey everyone, i am thinking to buy this phone later this month, but recently a friend told me that its processor it's not so good and it's kind of slow. All the other features the phone has are good for me, but i am bit skeptical for the processor. Any thoughts about it? Ty in advance

It's not slow. Comparing to top-range chipsets, it has a little underclock, emmc memory (instead of ufs) and ddr3 ram (instead of ddr4). So is a bit slower opening apps, but we are talking about milliseconds. Gaming is fine. Anyway if you can wait 1/2 months in early june the z3 play will be realeased with the next gen of processors and probably a 18:9 screen.

It's working great, no slowdowns nor "hiccups" for me.
It feels a little bit "slower" when compared to Moto X4, but it's subtle feeling.
In general, very smooth experience overall.

You can look up the speed rating but from memory it is about as fast as the sd808. I'm not much of a gamer but everything my kids have made me play seemed fine. For regular use I don't notice anything laggy.

First of all thnx everyone for the answers. I am not a gamer either, at least on the phone. I am more concerned about the daily workload, like Emails, Facebook, Browsing, GPS, Viber and phone itself via BT and also its interesting the moto mods like the extra charging cover, the wireless charger, the speaker and maybe the camera or the projector. I really like also the fact that it supports 2 Sim cards and a dedicated SD card. I have found some Amazon eu deals around to 250 euro and I just asked here to have a 2nd opinion

Thnx everyone for the answers once again. I decided to buy it, I am bit concerned how easy will be to root it but we will see
