Hands-on with the new Moto Z Play Droid and Hasselblad True Zoom camera
The latest Moto gear is stepping into the spotlight, as Lenovo introduces the new Moto Z Play Droid smartphone and the Hasselblad True Zoom camera Moto Mods accessory. Adding to this summer's existing lineup of Moto Z phones and Moto Mods add-ons, the pair offers shoppers an affordable mid-range alternative to the earlier Moto Z flagships, while also letting owners of any Moto Z phone upgrade their handset with a more capable camera – and one with full hardware shutter and zoom controls, at that.
But really, we came to see what this Hasselblad True Zoom camera is all about, and our first impressions have proved plenty intriguing. Slapping on the camera prompts the phone to recognize the accessory, just like it has for earlier Moto Mods, and our unit was smart enough to recognize that a software upgrade was needed to take advantage of the hardware; moments later, that was installed and we were ready to go.
For a full analysis of the camera's capabilities you'll have to wait for our complete review, but in the meantime you can check out our initial hands-on below.
