I pre-ordered the Z Force because I like that I can use the phone without a case and screen protector which I was too scared to do with my iphone. Will only get the MODs when they go on sale later on or when there is something I see that is more attractive to me.
i can see what you're saying about battery chargers, but isn't the Mod more convenient than dangling a battery charger off your device while you're using?
The projector is now $199.99, and there's also a quick setting shortcut to access the settings of the projector. Although, you'll have to edit the notification panel to make it present.
You didn't mention that the mods can be used on all the moto zs that is 5 or 6 different phones. It is much more convenient to have the extra battery snap on the back then to carry it around and connect by a cord.
If u want them to be compatible with future moto phones, it would mean that there would be no new design at the back... Speaking in terms of camera size and placement and also the connector placing. They cant be changed then
I bought the insta share projector for 82$ and you can fix the color problem in the display meeting by turning off vibrant, and you can get it to go all day by having it plugged in while using. But it is supposed to be used to share something with a group of people with you instantly. Hence the name insta share projector.
i think this is a briljant concept. one mightsay carrieng the mods might not be ideal but maybe you Just need the battery pack, one mod to carry is perfectly acceptabele and doable.
That was a great great video answered all my questions it was hard to find there's so much crap out there the guy did a really really good job five stars on the video and very informative help me make a lot of decisions thank you for your time and effort you did a great job great speaker as well didn't miss a Beat
Good review! I didn’t have much hope for the Moto Z and the Moto mods, anyway. I believe it's all downhill for the Lenovo phones, from here. The Moto X Pure/Style may very well turn out to be the best Motorola branded phone we've ever seen; and the best phone Lenovo ever manufactured... although, it's really the fruition of Motorola tech research; and not a true Lenovo product.
Keng Swee From what i understood the phones manufactured after October or November have got this issue fixed and my IMEI shows that my phone was manufactured in March so i hope i won't have problems.
The real disappointment is that the mods are not the cool evolution in cell phone design but rather another gimmick to increase the list of features on paper to make these phones appear more attractive. It's been 6 months since the Mods were announced and in that time no new mods were developed, and no other mods are being promised, and never will be. Also no surprise Motorola tries to boost sales with gimmicks just as Sony has admittedly proved that strategy will only hurt the brand later. It's just like seeing someone crossing a 6 lane highway and then getting hit by a car and then do exactly the same thing and expecting different results. Mods could have been a leading step into the future in the direction of Google's project Ara. But instead the executives got lazy thinking they are better than Sony and didn't bother to bring on board more partners to build the Mods, and keep this technological progress alive.
The shatter proof screen which can survive a nasty fall but the rest of the phone that won't just supports my theory that Motorola was aiming for a list of amazing features that will look good on paper.
that battery pack should pack a lot more than 2200mah of juice. the size of that thing, I was thinking it would be like 6000 or 10,000. what's the point of 2200?
+Koome my 10k ansa is roughly the same size as that case, but in a different shape. you can't tell me that they couldn't go significantly larger with the that battery.
So you make a phone with a ridiculously small battery and then you sell a battery pack that charges your phone slower than any other battery pack out there? No, thanks. I'd rather have a thicker phone with a larger battery.
+Kenny McCormick actually, it is "person's" as it's the same person making the multiple comments you've been replying to. You're either a bad troll or a child yourself because grammar =/= maturity and making fun of people who's first language isn't English is very low.
He missed the point of the moto mods: it's the convenience of it. Instead of a separate speaker which you need to pair and carry with you whenever you move to another place, slap on the soundboost et voila! Micro boombox. No more inconvenient cable and placement of a power bank because the power bank is already attached to your phone. Projectors? No more fiddling around with connections and/or media sources. Again, slap on the moto mod and you're good to go. Talk about a closed minded tech "journalist".
Respect for projecting Last Week Tonight! Such a great show!
really informative Josh I'm serious you gave the pros and cons unlike other people and just mention the pros
u should have used white background for projector for clear picture
I pre-ordered the Z Force because I like that I can use the phone without a case and screen protector which I was too scared to do with my iphone. Will only get the MODs when they go on sale later on or when there is something I see that is more attractive to me.
I preordered the Moto Z Force with the speaker and power pack Moto Mods should have it Friday can't wait

I'm still waiting on the grappling hook mod.
Those mods are awsome especially the projector! and speaker!

All of the Megaman and X in this video. Loving it.

I like your voice modulation and pronounciation
Can it be plugged when using the projector mod?
They should put the projector, battery pack and the speaker all together in to one Moto mod. That would be awesome....
Man, there is a major thing that holds good i.e the size and the weight
It would make your phone a brick
except it would cost more than. the phone
LOVED this phone
Does anyone remember the old iPhone render where it was also a projector? Funny how Moto made one.
I dont like how the moto z2 has been knocked down when in fact its smoother and a bit fast then the galaxy 8+ and lg g6 and iphone 7+.
It won't be long that they may make a portable photo printer for the Moto Mods

that Chrono Trigger OST makes me feel nostalgic....😫😫😫
Should i buy 227 or 454 welding electrodes? the cost per electrode is the same, and the shipping will be the same no matter what.
I like the 454 I feel I get a better weld from it
I`d rather use a mig .
***** do you know I mean the amount of electrodes?
Also: we must get more meme people here
do you know if the it will power up the device when the device is off?
They Dropped the Projector Price to 199 just a heads up
i thought that you could get about another hour on the projector if you used the phone's battery.
Awesome hairstyle Really suits you bro
doesnt the projector come with a power cord?

Will Republic Wireless ever be getting this?
This is really nice modular design smartphone!
this comment gives me cancer
+Declan Morgan Seriously, why?
suggest me a wireless charger to moto z play
I like JBL speaker, so cool!
wow I swear after watching this review I'm convinced this is my upgrade I'm just watching this like take my money lol #moto awesome review.
do the moto z and the z force are worth it?
I like your channel very much and even subscribed to it
Because clicking a button is so hard...
nailed it!
***** To whom?
Is this Red (on the JBL speaker)???
Josh i gotta ask you something... at 5:07 what are those!!!!
+DJ Johns or nah
This guy is my favorite
Moto Z Force. My next phone.
love this video
I dare someone to do a trickshot with a Moto Mod and a Moto Z.
They will guarantee these mods to work for the next 3 years. Not bad.
So basicly Jollas idea of other halves?..
At least they're better then the iPod Touch 4th generation
At 1:55 I was all "OMG CHRONO TRIGGER!!!!! (I am such a nerd)
Corridor of time remix. naise!
Wait the power pack only added 1 hr of sot? That's kinda underwhelming
so just 3 cases and that's it ? hardly ground breaking just like 3d tv and Vr all a sinking ship
VR a sinking ship? Lol, it's not
Siddharth Nair they said that about 3d printing and 3d TV all sank without a trace
***** I have a 3D tv and I occasionally watch 3D movies. 3D printing hasn't even been established properly yet. Neither has VR.
Also, have you viewed any form of VR content?
+Siddharth Nair yes unlike you I'm not stuck in rose tainted glasses land
By now I'm seeing without glass?
At 2:20 was that from dbz??
:O What happen with your glasses?
liking the vid cause of Smash
Last time I was this early, the G5 was the only modular phone
There was one before the G5 doe
I think it's fair that no one says 'this phone is better' because thats invalid here motorola was the one to start it all they can't be hated on.
Better than LG's
- (Bootlooped) G4 User
How long you had the phone before it got bootlooped? I got mine like 3 months ago and had no problem yet.
+zoltan139 6 Months. Got it Back Fixed and Sold it Away. Currently using a Galaxy S3 :(
Keng Swee Did they fix it in warranty?
+zoltan139 Yup. They Did. Sold it as I don't wanna Risk getting Strike by it again
Keng Swee From what i understood the phones manufactured after October or November have got this issue fixed and my IMEI shows that my phone was manufactured in March so i hope i won't have problems.
Guys please review intex aqua fish ( sailfish OS) available at amazon for rs. 5500 and pls review it ................?
I badly need it
You also badly need punctuation... Shame... Shame... (Jk)
+David Johnson no
I have taken part in all your giveaways but never won anything
Like thousands of others...

I have the same water bottle :D
You can buy a normal phone and get cases for way less than what they charge, this is why I hate modular phones.
Samsung Galaxy Beam has better projector which is built in.
that battery pack should pack a lot more than 2200mah of juice. the size of that thing, I was thinking it would be like 6000 or 10,000.
what's the point of 2200?
+Koome my 10k ansa is roughly the same size as that case, but in a different shape. you can't tell me that they couldn't go significantly larger with the that battery.
yeah but most people only have one phone
ill take modular phone seriously when there are camera mods for it, until then count me out!
Mecha Meister they released one lol
I am going to wait for Google's Ara phone
swappable battery>power bank
this dude is like hair fad beast. what's next? dreads?
they should be able to mod 2 motor force together so u can have a screen front and back .. ok moto my idea now pay me 😊👉💰💴💵
can Josh or lanh do more videos please, the other guy talks weird and is hard to understand
i think the moto z is a nice phone, but the only thing its really got going for it, is a big gimmick..
Josh, you look like you've been hitting a joint.
So you make a phone with a ridiculously small battery and then you sell a battery pack that charges your phone slower than any other battery pack out there? No, thanks. I'd rather have a thicker phone with a larger battery.
480p club! 🙌
he killed off the moto mods with his final statement
All the existing alternatives are better, but they also require cables/bluetooth connection to work.
+Chen Ming Liang so these moto mods only cater to a niche audience
He is like misha I play Pokémon go every day like if you agree

You look no more mature replying to all this persons comments.
+ahumpedgoblin ah, but I have good grammar, and it's people. Not persons. I just find it funny they think there is a chance of them getting it...
+Kenny McCormick actually, it is "person's" as it's the same person making the multiple comments you've been replying to.
