Motorola's new MOTO Z is a Modular Smartphone similar to LG's G5, thanks to MotoMods

Motorola just recently showed off their new Moto Z on Lenovo Tech World 2016. Motorola’s Moto Z comes in two variants, the Moto Z and the Moto Z Force which comes with a shatterproof display they’ve been bragging for some while now.

The Moto Z Force comes with a their shattershield protection while the normal Moto Z does not

Here are the official full specs of the Moto Z

THE MOTOMODS,

That isn’t it for the Moto Z, the Moto Z allows you to add extra functionality to your phone. Sure LG G5 comes to mind first, but MotoMods doesn’t work like LG’s swappable modular accessories. Instead on the Moto Z side the Moto Z has 16 golden dots at the back which allow them to add extra functionality. The MotoMods accessories are held tightly by magnets allowing for a good experience.

If you look closely there are 16 dots at the back of the Moto Z which allow them to add extra functionality.

Motorola teamed up with JBL to bring SOUNDBOOST to the Moto Z, they show a demo of how effective the Moto Z works. Motorola claims that it’ll be very effective in daily scenarios. Not only does it work as a speaker but also extends the battery lifetime upto 10 hours which is very impressive.They can also be used as a loudspeaker during calls.

Next up is the InstaShare projector which seems like a pretty sleek move for many. I can see how much commonly this feature will be used. According to Motorola you could project your screen upto 70 inch and also extend your battery life upto 10 hours.

Motorola didnt announced the pricing of the Moto Z or the Modular accessories yet, that’s soon to come. The Moto Z will be available in the US from Verizon in Summer while the rest of the world will get the phone unlocked in September, 2016. The pricing hasn’t been announced yet as well
