Lenovo claims that it's "rethinking
smartphones" with the new modular design of the
Moto Z. The core phone is fairly standard for a 2016 flagship: it uses
Qualcomm's top-of-the-line
Snapdragon 820 processor, a 5.5" 2650x1440 AMOLED screen, and 4GB of RAM. The design upgrades the older Moto X with a built-in fingerprint reader, though the camera is "only" 13MP on the rear. It's impressively thin at 5.19mm, with 32GB of storage and MicroSD card support. It uses
USB-C for connections and charging, and runs
Android 6.0.1 out of the box.
The Moto Z Force uses the same specifications and basic design as the Moto Z, but it adds on the "Shattershield" technology from the DROID Turbo 2, a larger 3500mAh battery, and proprietary fast charging that can (according to Lenovo) add 15 hours of runtime with just 15 minutes of charging. The Z Force is compatible with MotoMod accessories, but it can also be customized on Moto Maker like the older Moto X series.
