It’s a shiny all-metal phone with a huge protruding camera on back, and gold metal pins that have a beautiful contrast. The display blends right into the curved and chamfered metal edge and sides, making it comfortable and easy to hold.
The Moto Z is one of the thinnest flagship phones we’ve ever used, coming in at 5.2mm thick. Part of that is due to a new fingerprint scanner below the screen, a first for Motorola, along with a front-facing speaker in the earpiece up top. In fact, the phone is taller and wider than the similarly sized Galaxy S7 Edge. Screen size aside the phone is quite large, with big bezels on the top and bottom. It’s a nice touch that Motorola owners have come to love and it works perfectly on the Moto Z. A quick swipe of your hand over the screen will turn it on in a low power state, displaying missed calls or texts, notifications for emails, battery life and more. We consider this to be the perfect screen size, and using an AMOLED display pairs perfectly with Motorola’s hands-free always on software. Now Lenovo is in charge, it’s called the Moto Z and it’s the perfect middle ground sitting at 5.5-inches. The first Moto X was 4.7-inches and then it went up to 5.2, followed by a huge 5.7-inch screen last year. Over the past few years Motorola has offered a slew of screen sizes, never the same as the previous year. It’s one of the best screens we’ve used (although the title for best screen still belongs to Samsung). It gets extremely bright, has vivid colors, crisp text and dark blacks. It’s the right size coming in at 5.5-inches, and they went back to using a high quality AMOLED display with a 2560 x 1440 Quad HD resolution. This year Motorola may have the perfect screen. It’s available now from Verizon for $720. What’s the difference between the two? The Moto Z Force has a bigger 3,500 mAh battery, a better 21 megapixel camera (vs 13MP on the Moto Z) and a shatterproof display. While the better of the two, the Moto Z Force DROID is exclusive to Verizon. If you don’t plan on using the Moto Mods, this probably isn’t the phone for you.Īs a reminder the Moto Z will be available in the near future unlocked from Motorola. It’s nice to see Lenovo try something different while all other phones are the same slab of metal and glass, but we’re not sure it’s worth all the trade-offs. The opposite of what we’ve come to love from the company in the Moto X.

The Moto Z doesn’t have very good battery life, the Moto Mods don’t make enough sense and are extremely impractical, yet it’s priced nearly as high as other flagships like the Galaxy S7. However where it falls short is the important part.
