Motorola is expected to unveil its flagship smartphones, the Moto Z
and Moto Z Play, at parent company Lenovo's Tech World event on June 9.
With these smartphones, Motorola is looking to introduce its new 'Z'
series, alongside an ecosystem of modular backplates, previously thought
to be called Amps. Now said to be called MotoMods, these backplates has
been creating a lot of buzz, and now tipster Evan Blass gives us our
possible first look at the MotoMods
The image leaked by Blass
showcases three of the modular backplates that are expected to arrive
with the Z series. The MotoMods will connect to the smartphones through
connection pins at the back, bringing additional utility to the phones.
To recall, Motorola was tipped to launch five modular backplates at the
event, including a battery pack, a rugged cover fitted with a wide-angle
lens, a camera-style grip complete with a flash module and optical
zoom, a stereo speaker setup, and even a pico projector.
The first
MotoMod in the leaked image shows the optical zoom lens. The backplate
has a flash on its left and what seems to be like a shutter button on
the right. The one behind it seems to include a kickstand, which would
essentially help the user keep his phone upright while watching videos.
The second MotoMod also seems to be a little thicker, and could house
the battery pack as well. The third one is difficult to dissect, but it
could house the pico projector or the stereo speakers.
Blass later clarified what the three MotoMods seen in the image were - with the top most being a Hasselblad camera, the middle on JBL speakers, and the bottom most a pico projector.
Motorola
is reportedly
looking to ditch the
Moto X series altogether, and release
its flagships under the new Z series. The Moto Z and Moto Z Play have
been heavily leaked in the past. So far, the Moto Z is expected to
feature 5.5-inch QHD display, a Snapdragon 820 processor, 3GB or 4GB of
RAM, 16-megapixel rear camera, 32GB of inbuilt storage, and 2600mAh
battery. The Moto Z Play may sport a 5.5-inch full-HD display, a
Snapdragon 625 SoC, 2GB of RAM, a 13-megapixel rear camera, 16GB and
32GB storage variants, and pack a 3500mAh battery
Blass separately shared a leaked image of the latest Droid series, expected to be launched alongside the Moto Z series for Verizon Wireless.
