Motorola Moto Z2 Force Edition Specs

Description

Moto’s Z line of devices is defined by its support for Moto mods, Lenovo’s answer to the modular smartphone craze. And the Motorola Moto Z2 Force Edition, which is the company’s only flagship of the year, offers full support for the whole line of accessories, which take the form of snappable backs. Just like last year’s Z Force, it features a ShatterShield display, which Moto guarantees won’t shatter no matter what. Powering the Z2 Force Edition is Qualcomm’s current best-in-line chip, with either 4 or 6 GB of RAM in tow. This is also the first Moto handset to feature a dual camera, with two 12 MP sensors — one monochrome and one color. And despite carrying the Force branding, the phone does not feature its predecessor’s large battery capacity, which has instead been reduced to just 2,730 mAh.

Love it!
Phone owned for less than 3 months

This phone is great and I love it! I was able to get a great deal on this phone through Swappa. I got it to replace my s8 that had a cracked screen and randomly stopped receiving service a month after cracking the screen... I have the Turbopower battery mod for this, and I gotta say, this phone becomes even better. I do not have to worry about getting the phone to a charger even after a full day of use. And Runs amazing on the close to stock Android with no hiccups at all. Love it, and I would recommend it, especially for the fact that the screen is uncrackable because it's plastic. Though I would recommend a screen protector to prevent it from scratching. In comparison to the S8 I have, the screen on the S8 totally dwarfs this thing.
