Moto Z2 Force

Although the Moto Z2 Force isn’t the best flagship that Motorola has ever released — the phone as a whole may leave a lot to be desired — the Z2 Force’s shatter-proof display and durable design were recently put to the test and met with commendable results.

Motorola used to be my favorite Android OEM. The company made excellent smartphones, were one of the best in terms of software, and clearly listened to customers to deliver something that was unique and fun to use. Then, Lenovo bought them. As much as I enjoy Lenovo products, I was scared to see what would happen to Motorola, and just as I and many others feared, things went south.

A lot of the great things Motorola was doing were scrapped, but the company still continued to impress. The introduction of the Moto Z line was jarring, but interesting and unique. This year, we’ve got the Moto Z2, and it’s shattered a lot of what I previously loved about the Z line.

Lenovo today officially unveiled the new Moto Z2 Force. As the successor to last year’s Z Force, the device has an identical footprint and is compatible with both old and new Moto Mods. Alongside the Z2 Force, Lenovo also showed off two new Mods: a gaming controller and a 360-degree camera.

Are Moto Mods enough to convince you to purchase the Moto Z2 Force?

Motorola’s had quite the busy year so far in 2017. It released two new additions to its ultra-popular Moto G line, revived the Moto E with the E4 and E4 Plus, kicked out the Z2 Play, and also introduced the Moto C and Moto M in countries outside of the US. Today marked the announcement of the Moto Z2 Force, and while the phone on its own looks fairly solid, it’s another perfect example of Motorola not listening to its customers. It’s a story we’ve seen before, and it’s one that I’m personally not a fan of in the slightest.

Around this time last year, Lenovo-owned Motorola announced the Moto Z/Z Force – the first two phones that ushered in Motorola’s modular ecosystem with Moto Mods. The Z/Z Force proved to be rather successful entries in Motorola’s lineup, and succeeding those two phones this year is the Moto Z2 Force.

Tomorrow, Motorola will be taking the stage in New York City for what’s expected to be its biggest press conference of the year. Motorola was in New York this same time last year to unveil the Moto Z/Z Force, and this time around, we’re anticipating both the Moto X4 and Moto Z2 Force to be the stars of the show.

Last summer, Lenovo took the stage at Tech World in San Fransisco and announced a new line of modular smartphones. These were, of course, the Moto Z line of handsets.
