MotoMods really make this smartphone desireable. Right now
There are textured shells
Fashionable battery cases
A powerful-enough JBL speaker and a bright-enough mini projector
And they're all great ideas that take advantage of the magnetic back pins
Good display
MicroSD card support
Moto Mods can add some fun
Easy to snap on modules
Creative modular ideas
World's thinnest phone
The Motorola Moto Z is thin
Fast and (literally) snappy. Those magnetic Mods accessories are practical and easy to use
Excellent QHD screen
Plenty of power
Moto Mods work like magic

The editors didn't like
There is such a thing as being too thin in the smartphone world
And the Moto Z is at that point. Without a 3.5mm headphone jack
It requires an aux to USB cable that's included
But a pain to remember to bring everywhere. We will likely lose it before we
Compromised design
Battery life not great
Some stutter in the performance
Uncomfortable to hold
Verizon exclusive at first
Thinness means big camera bump
Small battery capacity
The phone looks naked without the Mods
And its fingerprint reader can be easily mistaken for a home button
Moto Mods are the coolest and they actually add value to the device, 13-megapixel camera is a better low-light performer than its predecessor
A bit slippery to hold without its snap-on back cover, The lack of a headphone jack could get annoying over time
The Moto Z is the best flagship to come out of Motorola's camp and you'll love the ability to customize it to your liking with additional Moto Mods...

Unskinned Android! A lot has changed at Motorola, but not its choice of software, Always-on voice command support, A very well-made metal body that feels like a premium device, Speedy storage, A MicroSD slot with adoptable storage, The ShatterShield displ
No 3.5mm headphone jack. The thinness of the Moto Z is dumb, but this is particularly egregious on the Z Force, which is plenty thick enough for a headphone jack, A gigantic bottom bezel and on-screen buttons is not a good combo, No monthly security updat

Sturdy, incredibly slim design, Great display, Moto Mods are elegant and have potential, Excellent performance, Charges really fast
It's a Verizon exclusive, No headphone jack, Camera not quite as good as the Z Force's, Middling battery life
Think of the Moto Z Force as the Moto Z's big brother: It offers the same premium performance as the regular Z, but adds a larger battery, a camera that performs better in most situations, and a screen that resists damage. All of this makes the Z Forc...
About time Moto has a fingerprint sensor, Moto Mods implementation is excellent, Customizable look and feel, Two options for price, with similar features
Headphone adapter is one more thing to lose, Fingerprint button scheme takes a little getting used to, 13MP camera isn't great in low light, Force model starts to get fairly thick
Modular system and accessories are fantastic, 2016best performance, excellent camera, sturdy build, runs stock Android, ShatterShield display on the Moto Z Force holds up against some nasty drops
Awkward fingerprint scanner placement, Moto Z battery is a bit small, lots of Verizon bloatware, no 3.5 mm audio port, no second SIM slot, no Micro SD card slot
All too often when a premium smartphone contender tries to experiment, the costs end up outweighing the benefits. That didn't happen with the Moto Z — because of how brilliantly designed the Moto Mods are, the downsides are fairly minor. They've made it...
Abstract: Motorola decided to change things up a bit this year. So instead of the standard Moto G and Moto X launch line, they made sure to add a new brand to their lineup. Motorola has made waves w/ the budget G and gotten a lot better w/ the Moto X. This time aro...
