The new Motorola Moto Z and Moto Z Force Specifications

Motorola Mobility was established in 2011 following the split of Motorola into two companies, with Motorola Solutions catering to the enterprise segment. Acquired soon after by Google, Motorola Mobility was sold to Lenovo in 2014. Motorola made its first Android smartphone in 2009, and its first Android tablet in 2011. Now the year 2016 Lenovo-owned Motorola launched the Moto Z family officially in all its glory at the previously just concluded the Lenovo Tech World 2016 event held in San Francisco, California and the venue was The Masonic, a prime venue for concerts and special events on one of San Francisco's premier neighborhoods. We have seen more about the new Phablets PHAB2 family specs now lets look at Moto Z family specs...

The Motorola Moto Z and the Moto Z Force are more alike apart from some other major features we going to know in this review article. Both made from military aircraft-grade aluminum and stainless steel as the Moto Z measures 153.30 x 75.30 x 5.20mm and weighs 136.00 grams while the Moto Z Force measures 155.9 x 75.8 x 6.99mm and weighs 163 grams and more so they are both water repellent thanks to nano-coating, which should help with water splashes and rain.

Both phones pack Qualcomm’s most powerful processor, the Snapdragon 820 running at 2.2Ghz and comes with the Adreno 530 GPU for graphics processing. What more would you ask for? Get this, the Moto Z also come with 4GB of RAM and 32GB of UFS internal storage while the Moto Z Force comes with 64GB of UFS internal storage and is expandable up to 2TB via a microSD card.
 

The Moto Z has a 2,600mAh non removable battery while the Moto Z Force has a 3,500mAh non-removable battery but both have Turbo Charging capabilities.

The fingerprint scanner is only on the Moto Z Force and is placed just below the display, and according to the company its quite fast.

The 13MP back camera with Optical Image Stabilizer, Laser Autofocus and a 5MP selfie shooter while the Moto Z Force gets a 21MP OIS shooter with f/1.8 aperture, Laser Autofocus, PDAF, 1.12um pixel size with Deep Trench Isolation placed on the back, and is flanked by the Laser Autofocus. The 5MP selfie shooter with 1.4um pixel size, wide-angle lens, f/2.2 aperture available up front, along with the front-facing flash.

The Moto Z gets a display of 5.5-inch,1440x2560 pixels in resolution while the Moto Z Force gets a 5.5-inch QHD (2560 x 1440, 535 ppi) AMOLED display which is said its the first thing you’ll notice when you pick up this device, and this panel won’t break easily, as it features Motorola’s ShatterShield protection which the Moto Z doesn't feature.

Both phones come pre-installed with Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow but only the Moto Z Force comes with the Moto Mods connector, just like the regular Moto Z handset. The USB-C port is placed on the bottom of the phone, and it can be used for audio (instead of the 3.5mm headphone jack), data transfer and charging the phone Both devices lack 3.5mm audio jack and have a USB Type-C audio connector instead. Thankfully, Motorola will provide a USB Type-C to 3.5mm adapter in the box contents.

The major highlight of these devices by Motorola is “MotoMods”. As I mentioned in the other review the MotoMods are a collection of new accessories that can be attached to the back panel of the device. These are attached with the help of 16 dots or pins given on the lower part of the back panel on the device magnetically.
