It has been quite a while since we have seen product innovation in the smartphone territory and the things that Motorola Moto Z is capable of, will change your perception of a smartphone's ability for good.

Not only that, Moto Z has all the best specs available and stylishly as well. It is rare that a smartphone gets this great treatment, but it seems that Motorola is set to take it to new heights.

So here's what you should know about Moto Z:

5.5-inch Quad HD AMOLED capacitive touchscreen with 1440 x 2560 pixels or ~535 ppi pixel density

Metal body

Fingerprint sensor

Gorilla Glass 4 protection

Super slim at just and light at 136 g (4.80 oz)

Qualcomm MSM8996 Snapdragon 820 chipset, Dual-core 2.15 GHz Kryo & Dual-core 1.6 GHz Kryo, Adreno 530 graphics, and 4GB RAM

13MP primary camera with f/1.8, laser autofocus, OIS, dual-LED (dual tone) flash

5MP secondary camera

32GB or 64GB internal storage + microSD expansion slot up to maximum 256GB

Android Marshmallow 6.0.1

Non-removable Li-Ion 2600 mAh battery with Fast battery charging, 8 hours battery life with 15 minutes charge

4G LTE

Moto Mods

Let's start things off by admiring how super slim the Moto Z at just 0.20 inch thick. It is wrapped beautifully in an aircraft-grade aluminum and stainless steel body which further enhances its look and feel.

The body is good, and the screen is even better with its 5.5-inch Quad HD resolution which is sure to bring to life all your favorite movies and everything that you read on it. The excitement gets way better on the hardware side of things as the Moto Z is powered by the latest and fastest Snapdragon 820 chipset, so you know that this smartphone is indeed fast.

There's a slight disappointment though on the camera, as it is only equipped with a rather average 13MP-5MP camera setup. You somehow feel that it should have come with a much better camera than this.

Now let's get down to what the Moto Z can do more than a typical smartphone, with Moto Mods - Turn your smartphone into a movie projector, boombox, battery powerhouse, and more, in a snap. Just hook it up, and see it transform. More details of that can be viewed with this video on Motorola's website.

Conclusion:

They say seeing is believing, and at the moment, Motorola Moto Z is still another 2-3 months away before its release. But from what we gathered so far, you will be getting the best smartphone experience (minus the camera performance) and so much more. The ability to further extend a smartphone's capability sounds cool.

Motorola Moto Z is expected to be released in September 2016 although there's no price confirmation yet. It will be available in Black/Gray, Black/Rose Gold, Black/Gold, and White.
