Moto Z and Moto Z Force- Its time for some MotoMods

Moto Z


At Lenovo Techworld Event in San Francisco, Motorola unveiled the all new Moto Z and Moto Z Force smartphones that aim to change the smartphone industry. With full metal chassis body and a thickness of around 5.2mm, these devices are the thinnest flagship in the market right now. Taking a cue from LG and Google, these smartphones feature a modular design which makes use of several accessories called MotoMods, that snap onto the handset using magnets and draw their power/data through a 6Gbps multi-pin connection.

MotoMods


Motorola has announced that there will be three mods available at launch: a pico projector, a battery power pack and a jbl speaker. Moto likes to called this modular approach a "full blown gamechanger". One good thing about these mods is that, they can be easily snapped to the back of these smartphones without the need to restart them. The concept seems a little similar to a Lenovo smartphone launched in 2014, called Lenovo Vibe X2.



 A thing to note is that both the smartphones will lack the 3.5mm audio jack like the leeco devices, so you’ll have to use the USB-C to 3.5mm jack included with the smartphone to plugin your conventional audio accessories.
Moto Z features a 5.5-inch Quad HD AMOLED display with a fingerprint scanner on the front, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 SoC, and 4GB of RAM. The smartphones comes with either 32GB or 64GB of storage along with microSD card slot for expandability up to additional 2TB.
On the camera front, the Moto Z packs a 13MP rear camera with features like OIS,Laser Autofocus and a dual led flash.There is a 5MP front camera for selfies. All this is powered by a 2,600mAh battery and supports Turbo Charging that gives 8 hours of usage with just 15 minutes of charging.
The Moto Z Force is basically the same phones with improvements like a shatterproof display, a upgraded 21MP camera and a larger 3,500mAh battery.

So,what's new? Samsung has 'innovated' by going back in time and bringing back features like expandable storage along with IP68 dust and water resistance capability ala Samsung Galaxy S5.Bringing back the expandable storage options,might have brought smiles on the faces of the reviewers and fans alike who were quite disappointed by the lack of sd card support in their predecessors.The great thing is that Samsung has brought these utility features without compromising on th...

LeEco Le 1s Review - After a month's use

LeEco(or Letv as it was formally called) launched its first two smartphones in India in the beginning of February this year. Some people may look at it as just another Chinese company trying to make inroads in India but, to be frank LeEco is slightly different as it is one of the first or maybe only Chinese company to follow the concept of creating an ecosystem of products called-Le Ecosystem(hence,the name change). Now coming to the smartphone i.e the Le 1s,company seems to have created quite a good product to performance ratio with its Inr 10,999 price tag,here in India. So,let's find out if it is any good. Build & Design As far as build goes I can quite easily say that it's one of the first smartphones in India to sport a metallic unibody build at a budget price. Yes,now there are phones like the Huawei honor 5x and the Redmi Note 3 but this one seems to be the best as far as build goes. In design department,LeEco further stamps its authority with a symmetrically d...
