Moto Z2 Force (stylized as moto Z² FORCE) is a mid-range Android smartphone developed by Motorola Mobility, as the successor to 2016's moto Z and Z Force. As with other smartphones in the Moto Z series, it supports Motorola's magnetically attachable "MotoMods" modules.[1][2]
Specifications
[edit]Hardware
[edit]The Z2 Play features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 system-on-chip, backed by 4 or 6 GB of RAM. It comes with either 64 or 128 GB storage, with microSD expansion. The phone does not have much design changes from its predecessor, to be compatible with previous Moto Mods, as Motorola promised. Some notable changes include a metal backplate, instead of the glass back used previously, a slight reduction in thickness (−1 mm), and change of the shape of the home button from square to oval to enhance your experience with the device, with the built-in “Moto” app, which can enable “one button navigation”. The handset comes with a 1440p AMOLED display with plastic front protection that Motorola calls ShatterShield. But, because of the MotoMods platform it doesn't have an IP dust or water resistance rating. In the camera department Motorola has gone with a dual camera setup with the primary one being a 12 MP sensor with f/2.0 aperture with OIS and a pretty useless secondary grayscale sensor which is also 12 MP with f/2.0 aperture. The front camera is still a 5 MP one, but as one of a few phones in the world it has a front flash which is a rarity.
Software
[edit]It comes with Android 7.1.1 “Nougat”, with a few software tweaks, for example the Moto Actions app that adds twist for camera and chop for flaslight gestures and peek display that can show notifications and lets you do some quick actions without unlocking the phone. It is possible to update the phone to Android 8.0.0 “Oreo” or Android 9.0 “Pie”. Unfortunately the Android Oreo update is only for a few select variants, and Motorola didn't make a statement on why that is. But people managed to create a rather stable Android 10 custom ROM Resurrection Remix that still supports MotoMods except for the camera Mods.[3] That can be an indication of how clean the motos Android version was.
