![]() My gut feeling? This is a far better system than the slot based mechanism inside the LG G5 and has far greater potential. To encourage developers to also make their own Moto Mods, Motorola has set aside $1,000,000 in equity funding for whoever creates the best prototypes by March 31, 2017. Style Shell - snap on covers in a range of wood, fabric and leather finishes. ![]() Speakers - 13mm thick, 145g with 2x 3W stereo speakers.DLP Projector - 11mm thick, 120g, casts 70-inch 480p picture.Battery Pack - 2200mAh battery, 6.2mm thick, 79g (Qi/PMA wireless charging version weighs 85g).Magnetic connectors on the back of the Moto Z and Moto Z Force make them compatible with a range of new accessories which Motorola calls ‘Moto Mods’. Still worried? Well here’s where the real big news of the Moto Z and Moto Z Force comes in: Sadly both phones are also missing wireless charging though there is support for the company’s ‘TurboPower’ fast charging which can add up to eight hours of power to a flat phone in just 15 minutes. The Moto Z and Moto Z Force are incredibly thin. Motorola claims the Moto Z will still last up to 30 hours with moderate usage, but you’ll get 40 hours from the Moto Z Force. Yes, the Moto Z Force’s added thickness means it can pack a far larger battery. Moto Z Force - 3500 mAh capacity battery.While Motorola phones tend to have decent battery life (its that clean stock Android software again), the company has taken a risk here: Notably more megapixels results in smaller pixels which means they can’t take in as much light, so I actually suspect the Moto Z will win out in low light with the Moto Z Force having the advantage in normal daylight. The old adage that more megapixels doesn’t mean better photo quality means we have yet to see which smartphone performs better. Moto Z Force - Rear: 21 MP, f/1.8, laser & phase detection autofocus, OIS, dual-LED (dual tone) flash, Front: 5 MP, f/2.2, 1.4 µm pixel size, LED flash.Moto Z - Rear: 13 MP, f/1.8, laser autofocus, OIS, dual-LED (dual tone) flash Front: 5 MP, f/2.2, 1.4 µm pixel size, LED flash.Where Motorola does present users with a conundrum, however, is the difference between the camera specs for the Moto Z and Moto Z Force: Of course one downside for the Droid Editions of these phones is they will have Verizon's pre-loaded bloatware such as its Messages+ app and other services you won't want or need.īecause they are so thin, both the Moto Z and Moto Z Force has large protruding cameras. There’s little to say here other than the fact Motorola combines this super fast chipset with one of the purest builds of Android outside of a Nexus so both phones should fly. style="font-weight: 400 "> Moto Z and Moto Z Force - Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 (dual-core 2.15 GHz Kryo & dual-core 1.6 GHz Kryo CPUs, Adreno 530 GPU), 4GB RAM.Style="font-weight: 400 ">Here Moto Z and Moto Z Force are identical: Performance - Cutting Edge, Clean Android Style="font-weight: 400 ">The reason Motorola will cite for this is both phones add fingerprint readers this year, though I’d personally prefer them positioned on the back so they don’t get in the way. With a 72% screen-to-body ratio, the Moto Z is slightly better than the poor 70.3% ratio achieved by the Moto Z Force but since the Moto X Style had a 75% ratio in 2015 this regression is disappointing. Having been a key proponent of very slim top and bottom bezels, Motorola has now increased them on both the Moto Z and Moto Z Force. One disappointment, however, is bezel size. Bizarrely Motorola ditched AMOLED from its 2015 phones after using it in 2014, but now it is back. Image credit MotorolaĪ big part of this is the return to AMOLED. Moto Z Force has a shatterproof screen, but also large top and bottom bezels. Tests with last year’s phone found its display to be virtually unbreakable and Motorola claims it has eliminated the problems which saw this feature impact on actual screen quality (brightness, contrast, etc). Giving the ‘Force’ its name is the fact it comes with the same ‘Shatter Proof’ glass as the 2015 Moto X Force.
