Motorola’s parent company Lenovo has announced the all new “Z” series, Motorola Moto Z Force is one of them with shatterproof technology and new slimmer look.
The most exciting thing of this release is the Moto Mods, that are magnetically attachable modules that turns phone into a powerful camera, a projector, speaker, battery extender and more.
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 Force a tempting option, especially if you don’t care about having an extremely skinny phone.
At 5.2mm thick, the Moto Z is the thinnest flagship and it’s just stunning. In fact, when it comes to design, the Moto Z couldn’t be any more different from the flagship Moto Xs that came before it — the friendly curves and sloping back are gone, leaving us with something more angular and elegant. Moving on to the specs Motorola Moto Z Force covers a 5.5-inch, quad HD AMOLED display, powered by a Qualcomm MSM8996 Snapdragon 820 chipset, 4gb ram, a card slot, 21mp camera with F1.8 with laser & phase detection autofocus & packed by a big 3500 mAh battery.

Motorola Moto Z Force Mods:
The JBL Soundboost snaps on in seconds, and instantly transfers sound from the tiny built-in speakers, to a powerful JBL sound system.
It features two 27mm speakers with 3w of power and a built-in 1,000 mAh battery. This adds tons of battery life to the phone, extends music sessions, and more. It also features a built-in JBL branded kickstand for easy listening.
This little modular simply snaps on to the back in seconds, and instantly transforms the smartphone into a powerful projector capable of streaming a 70-inch HDTV on the wall or ceiling.
Users can project the phone display and popular apps like Netflix, YouTube, HBO Go, and likely games and other things as well. The Instashare projector has a built-in kickstand to allow for virtually any angle of viewing.
It has an included 1,100 mAh battery so owners can project video for an hour without using the phone battery, but sadly it appears to only be 480p resolution.
The MotoMod HasselBlad True Zoom snaps on in seconds and employs a 12 megapixel 1/2.3inch sensor with OIS and EIS. Not to mention adds an impressive 10x Optical Zoom and a Xenon flash to the Moto Z. It shoots in RAW for enthusiasts, has physical shutter and zoom controls, and gives owners access to Hasselblad’s Phocus software for streamlined editing control and the highest quality output.
