From PC World: At Lenovo’s Tech World conference on Thursday, Motorola debuted a new take on the modular phone, launching the Moto Z and Moto Z Force with a trio of modular add-ons, dubbed Moto Mods. Thanks to these magnetic, snap-on modules, the Moto Z phones can be upgraded with extra battery life, better sound, and even a 50-lumen projector.
Though both phones will be available unlocked, Verizon will launch them this summer as the Moto Z Droid Edition and Moto Z Force Droid, for an undisclosed price. The Moto Mods will be available then as well, executives said. The unlocked version of the phone will follow this fall, executives said.
On the surface, the specifications of the Moto Z Droid aren’t that unusual: The 5.5-inch phone boasts a 2560x1440 AMOLED display, a 2.2GHz Snapdragon 820 CPU, and 4GB of RAM, with a 5MP front camera as well as a 13MP f/ 1.8 rear camera with automatic HDR.
The Moto Z Droid includes a 2,600mAh battery, good for 30 hours of mixed usage. It also boasts what Motorola calls TurboCharging, which can charge the battery for eight hours of use in just 15 minutes. The Force edition is similar, but with a “guaranteed” shatterproof display, a larger 40-hour battery, and a 21-megapizel camera on the rear of the phone, Motorola said.
