The keynote address of Lenovo Tech World 2016 in San Francisco on Thursday saw the launch of the much-awaited Moto Z and Moto Z Force smartphones. As expected, they were launched as modular phones with Moto Mods magnetic snap-on back panels with various partners, including JBL and Incipio.
The Motorola Moto Z and Moto Z Force will be available globally from September, along with the Moto Mods. The company has not detailed prices of either smartphone, both of which run Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow, feature a fingerprint scanner on the home button, sport a USB Type-C port, and omit the 3.5mm headphone jack.
The Moto Z is the thinnest premium smartphone in the world, at 5.2mm. It features a
5.5-inch QHD Amoled display, and is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 SoC
