The included back is wood but you can pick leather or fabric backs too. They do give you one free Moto Mod back when you buy the phone. It sticks out WAY too far and I’m worried the lens will get scratched too easily since it sits flat on the table when you set the phone down. I like the speaker and projector but I can’t wait to see what they’ll do next. In the end, Moto Mods are cool but what’s really cool is where this could go next. There are much better bluetooth speakers available (Ultimate Ears are my favorite) but for $80 and the connivence of attaching to the back of your phone, I like this Moto Mod. The SoundBoost instantly sends audio from the phone through the JBL speakers. The project was bright enough for a dark room but hard to use in a room with regular lighting. Once you attach the Mod the phone instantly recognizes it. I tested out the Moto Insta-Share Projector ($300) and the JBL SoundBoost Speaker ($80). Right now there are only a few Mods available. You’ll never be nervous that a Mod is going to pop off, the magnetic connection is super strong. ![]() Moto Mods magnetically attacked to the back of the Moto Z. Motorola jumping into the world of modular smartphone add-ons. Those contacts are for the modular add-ons called Moto Mods. On the back there is a camera hump that sticks out and metal contacts toward the bottom. Perhaps I’m the only one? None the less, I miss it in the Z. Previous Moto Droids have included wireless charging and it’s a feature I have learned to love. If I’m being picky, I wish it had wireless charging. The Z does have quick charging so you can juice up the battery in a matter of minutes, not hours. I’ll take quality over quantity any day of the week. I personally don’t think we need 21 Megapixels. It’s not the highest Megapixel camera on the market but it takes great pictures and video. It has the latest quad-core snapdragon processor, 32GB of storage, a 5.5″ screen, a fingerprint scanner and a 30-hour battery! The camera is 13MP. Until you hold it, you can’t even imagine how thin they made this thing. Insanely thin! That’s how I would describe the Z. I had a few days to test out the new Moto Z Droid on Verizon Wireless. Right? Well, I gotta hand it to Motorola, they have created a new smartphone that sticks out from the crowd for its’ size and modular add-ons. After all, there are only so many new features you can cram into a phone. The world of smartphone innovation has slowed down over the past few years. Please look at the time stamp on the story to see when it was last updated. If you already have another phone and want to move to the Moto Z or Z Force, Verizon says you can trade in your current phone for up to $300 in credit that can be applied toward the new phone.This is an archived article and the information in the article may be outdated.
