At the Lenovo Tech World 2016 conference in San Francisco, Lenovo has unveiled its two much awaited smartphones- Moto Z and Moto Z Force. The main highlight of these phones is their Moto Mods magnetic snap-on rear panels that allow users to snap on an external accessory or module to it. These modules are called Moto Mods and include JBL SoundBoost to boost the audio output of the device and Moto Insta-Share that converts the device into a projector. The Moto Style Shells make use of premium finishes like real leather, wood or patterned fabric. There is a Power Pack module as well, that is said to boost the battery life of the phone by up to 23 hours.
The Moto Z and Moto Z Force succeed the Moto X and Moto X Force smartphones respectively. The display of Moto Z Force packs the same Moto ShatterShield technology like the predecessor. The Moto Z measures mere 5.2mm in thcikness and is touted as the thinnest premium smartphone in the world. Both Moto Z and Z Force lack 3.5mm audio jack and instead, feature a USB Type-C port which apart from a charging and data transfer port, also doubles up as an audio port.
