Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Moto Z and Moto Mods first look”.
Hey this is Nick stat with the verge and we’re here with the new Moto Z. So the Moto G comes in two different flavors there’s the standard, slim Moto Z. And then there is the Moto Z Force, I’m what, as he forces a little bit thicker, but mostly they kind of look identical, wouldn’t be able to tell too much of a difference by looking straight at them. Here there are some key differences under the hood, though, that you should be made aware of so. They both have a 5.5 inch AMOLED display Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor.
They both have four gigs of RAM, but the difference is in the camera, the battery life and the durability. The standard, moto Z just has your kind of run-of-the-mill Gorilla. Glass has a 13 megapixel rear facing camera and a 5 megapixel front facing camera. It gets about 30 hours of battery life now the Moto G force. On the other hand, this has a 21 megapixel rear facing camera, same 5, megapixel front facing camera, it’s about 40 hours of battery life and it’s got a Moto’s shatter shield technology. That means it’s shatter and a crack resistant if you were to drop it on the ground.
Although there’s some difference in the megapixels between the standard, moto Z and the Moto z-force, they both have optical image, stabilization and laser autofocus in terms of storage. Both phones come in at 32 gigabyte and a 64 gigabyte model microSD card supports. You can add up to 2 terabytes of extra storage there, so both devices have turbo power charging. Now that moto technology means that I’m a standard mode of Z, you’ll get about 8 hours of use off with 15 minutes of charge. Now, with the bigger battery on the Moto Z force, you’ll get about 15 hours of use in just 15 minutes of charging. One really interesting thing to notice, and this you know it’s causing a lot of contention in the tech industry.
Right is the removal of the the standard, 3.5 millimeter headphone jack. Now a me moto Z. We have just one USB type-c port down here. That’S for charging and for headphones.
So, even though you can’t plug in a standard 3.5 headphone jack right into the phone itself, this moto Z will be coming with an adapter so that you can use your standard headphones with this new USB type-c port down here. So specs are only one half of the story with the Moto Z, the other half are what are called moto mods. So this is a big trend with Android smartphones in 2016. You see it with something like the gg5. Basically, consumers can augment their Android smartphone with attachments, give them longer battery life, better camera things like that with the moto Z in particular, you don’t have to do anything crazy.
You don’t to remove something from the bottom of the phone or kind of take anything out. Basically, the mods they act just like kind of phone cases. So if you turn the phone over, you take this out this power pack here, which gives you up to 22 hours and extra battery life. You just slip it right on you’ll, hear a little sound you’ll get a little animation to confirm that you’ve, you put them out on and from there just you can use the phone just as just like normal another one you have. Is the JBL sound boost? Now this similar to the power pack just kind of slips over the end – and this gives the phone better sounding music – it’s a glute, louder brighter sound, just like a kind of Bluetooth speaker would another really cool moto mod. Is this moto made projector? This will give you a 70 inch projector using just your phone. So if you’re watching youtube videos, we’ve got a movie. Something like that. You can just take your phone project, it right against the wall here.
This thing has one hour of internal battery, but once that dies out you can then use the phone’s battery. You should be able to get up to about two and a half hours on the slim standard, moto Z, in about four hours on the Moto Z force. So the standard slim moto Z will be available worldwide, unlocked starting in September. But if you’re here in the US, you can get it as early as this summer from Verizon only as a droid edition phone. The same goes for the Moto z-force. Actually, the Moto Z force you can’t get anywhere, but the US as a droid edition, Verizon exclusive.
We don’t have any pricing on either the force or the standard motor Z. Just yet for more hands-on videos like this just head over to youtube.com slash the Virg. You .
