Re: Recommended Android Phone for Photographer Not Interested in Phone Camera

My son got a Motorola Z2 Play yesterday for $409 US from Verizon.  And while it might have a better camera than I need, it ticks a lot of other boxes for me.  Good sized screen, reasonably fast and responsive, AND it includes an FM radio!

Most phones come with a built in FM radio, but it is disabled in the USA to force people into using streaming services and the cell phone network to rack up fees.  My first smartphone had one, but none others since and i've missed that feature.  This is a VERY good thing in my mind.

I'm jealous and I'm seriously thinking of dumping my S5 early!
