![]() ![]() The following have been announced, or are already available: Nevertheless, we already have some insights here, because no Moto Z test would be complete without saying a few words about the Mods. We’ll report on further detailed tests of the modules in the near future. ![]() We have two MotoMods in the newsroom and have already seen a third. When a MotoMod is docked, a vibration confirms that the module was recognized and paired with the system. The electrical contacts are located in the lower third of the back of the smartphone. On the back, you can attach different Mods to the Moto, which are held in place by considerably strong magnets – the Mods are unlikely to fall off or slip. Lenovo has developed a proprietary interface, which is the same format found on the Moto Z Play. The Lenovo Moto Z can be customized with Mods. Lenovo Moto Z special features MotoMods: the new distinctive feature from Lenovo This arrangement makes it a bit harder to feel the buttons – in the long term, however, buyers will probably get used to it. Two are intended as the up and down volume buttons, and in addition to those is a similar-sized but ridged power button. There are three mechanical buttons on the right side. You’ll find no rounded edges on the back, though, only sharp cutting edges that make no sense. On the front, a pleasantly rounded edge was created. Lenovo has given the Moto Z a 2.5D glass edge. In order to make space for the fingerprint sensor, the bottom bezel is quite large./ © NextPit Positioning it elsewhere is apparently not possible due to the Mods – so, basically, the lower edge is slightly oversized. Nowhere in the settings can one find an option to configure this as a home button. Except for the recognition of fingerprints, the button has no other function. Like the two G4 models, the square fingerprint sensor is located below the display, and though it has the appearance of a button, it isn’t. © NextPitįrom the front, the Moto Z is reminiscent of the Moto G4 or G4 Plus. The camera juts out from the Moto Z chassis. Fingerprints shouldn’t be quite as noticeable on the lighter version of the Moto Z. The dark color and the surface of the glass (without the textile back cover) offered a high-quality tactile impression, but also served as a fingerprint magnet. We employed the dark-color version for our test. Lenovo took a brave step with the Moto Z and exluded the usual Motorola curved back. In short: the Moto Z loses the benefits of the extreme thinness of the housing, because it requires this functionless cover. Additionally, you’ll no longer feel the raised bump of the camera. This has several important benefits: on the one hand, the Mod ports are protected, and on the other hand, the Moto Z is more slip-resistant in your hand. This virtually functionless Mods, in our case, gives the Moto Z a textile-like feel. Lenovo refers to these as a “Style Shell”. A further compromise was also necessary: the main camera is raised several millimeters above the back – to compensate for this, there is a back cover, which is approximately two millimeters thick. In order to make the Moto Z so extremely flat, Lenovo also had to remove the headphone jack. Lenovo has chosen this combination of materials to stabilize the Moto Z, despite its 5.2-mm thickness.Ī Moto design shell protects the MotoMod ports. Corning Gorilla Glass can be found on the back. The entire chassis is made from a mix of aircraft aluminum and stainless steel. Instead of an ergonomically curved back, the Moto Z is flat. In its design, Lenovo put a stop to the old Motorola design lingo. ![]()
