The design of the new Z2 Force is largely similar to other second generation smartphones the company has unveiled this year which isn’t a bad thing at all. In addition to that, Motorola is now using 7,000 series aluminum to provide a relatively more sturdy frame. Of course, the cornerstone of purchasing this flagship is its unbreakable screen up front. To achieve that, it features a multi-layer design with a replaceable exterior “lens” which essentially means you will be able to swap it out in case it gets scratched up from multiple falls. It’s also not edge-to-edge but that’s fine as you’re being offered an everlasting display in return. Inside, Motorola hasn’t skimped at all. The Z2 Force comes with a 5.5-inch Quad HD AMOLED panel, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 835 processor, 4GB of RAM, Android 7.1, and 64GB of storage which is expandable. Unfortunately, better aesthetics also led to a much smaller 2,730mAh battery. There’s no headphone jack and Motorola says they will enable Bluetooth 5.0 with the Android O update. The smartphone is also compatible with Motorola’s external accessories – Moto Mods.
The camera is another area where Motorola has brought in some significant upgrades. For starters, there are two 12-megapixel f/2.0 cameras on the rear, one of which shoots in monochrome, and the other shoots in color – similar to what Huawei offers in its flagship smartphones. This allows the phone to capture much more accurate colors and produce depth-of-field effects like blurring the background behind your subject as well. On the front, there’s a 5-megapixel wide-angle selfie camera with a dual CTT flash system. The Moto Z2 Force will be available on all major US carriers including Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, and U.S. Cellular. Pre-orders start from today itself at $30 per month for 24 months, for a total of $720. You can also purchase it from the company’s official website and Best Buy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9wwcWhXzno
