The most exciting flagship smartphone of 2016 has finally arrived. The Moto Z splashed ashore today morning, bearing it's signature Moto Mods along. Replacing the Moto X, the Moto Z is the first modular smartphone offering from Lenovo's Motorola. The phone was first unveiled in the US in June and after a excruciating three months wait, it is finally available in India for Rs 39,999.
Motorola also launched the Moto Z Play, the less powerful sibling, at Rs 24,999.
While Google folded up its plans for producing a truly modular Project Ara smartphone, Motorola went ahead with the plan by providing a 16-pin magnetic connector at the back of the phone to strap on modules knows as 'Moto Mods'.
The Moto Z features a 5.5-inch quad-HD AMOLED display and comes powered by the critically acclaimed Snapdragon 820 processor coupled with 4GB of RAM and Adreno 530 GPU. There is 64GB of onboard storage along with a microSD card slot that can expand your memory upto 2TB (theoretically).
On the other hand, the Moto Z Play features a 5.5-inch full HD AMOLED display, powered by a 2.0GHz octa-core Snapdragon 625 processor and 3GB of RAM.
There is a fingerprint scanner at the end of the display, but surprisingly doesn't act as the home button. There's also USB Type-C port for quick charging.
As for the camera, the Moto Z sports a 13-megapixel rear camera with OIS and can shoot videos of 4K resolution at 30fps.
The Moto Z Play comes with 16-megapixel rear camera with laser auto focus and LED flash.
Both smartphones sport a 5-megapixel front-facing camera along with a front-facing flash for selfies which can also shoot HD videos at 30fps.
The Moto Z is powered by a 2,600mAh battery while the Moto Z Play is powered by a 3500mAh battery.
But where it gets really interesting is the ability to hot-swap modules that can add more features to the smartphone. For now, you get the Hasselblad TrueZoom camera that has 10X optical zoom, RAW format support and xenon flash; JBL SoundBoost speaker that enhances the sound output of the device; Incipio offGRID Power Pack that can add up to 20 hours of battery life; and a Moto-share Insta Projector that can project an image up to 70-inches from any angle.
