Each Mod attaches magnetically to the back of the phone, while metal pins allow the phone to control its new features.<\/p>\n<p>You can get a wide range of Moto Mods, from a full\u00a0Hasselblad True Zoom camera to one with an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/official-motorola-moto-mod-insta-share-projector-case-60002\">integrated\u00a0pico projector<\/a>, to more sedate additions\u00a0like<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/jbl-soundboost-moto-mod-speaker-case-60003\"> JBL speakers<\/a>\u00a0or extra <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/tumi-powerpack-moto-mod-power-case-2-200mah-60006\">battery packs<\/a> (with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/tumi-wireless-charging-powerpack-moto-mod-power-case-2-200mah-60007\">optional wireless charging<\/a>).

It&#8217;s also a damn good phone &#8212; we calculated its average score as 8.1 out of 10 when we did <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/2016\/07\/moto-z-z-force-reviews-roundup\/\">our reviews roundup<\/a>\u00a0for the phone\u00a0earlier this year. Part of that is down to its specifications, which are impressive to say the least.<\/p>\n<p>You get a Snapdragon 820 quad-core processor, backed with 4GB of RAM and 32 or 64GB of storage built in (plus Micro SD card support. On the front there&#8217;s the 5.5-inch display at 2560 x 1440 and a 5-megapixel camera; on the back there&#8217;s a 13-megapixel camera capable of 4K video recording.<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"http:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/moto-z-droid-gallery-3-1.jpg?resize=730%2C548\" \/><\/p>\n<p>At the base of the phone, you&#8217;ll find a USB-C port (and no headphone jack). That means you&#8217;ll have to rely on Bluetooth headphones or USB-C headphones to listen to your favourite tunes, or use the 3.5mm to USB-C adapter in the box.<\/p>\n<h3>UK price &amp; availability<\/h3>\n<p>Right now, Motorola are selling the Moto Z directly for \u00a3499. Moto Mods will cost from \u00a360 to \u00a3250 &#8212; not exactly chump change! Orders placed today should be shipped by September 14th &#8212; so you&#8217;ll get your headphone-jack-free phone just before your iPhone-toting buddies.<\/p>\n<h3>Wrapping up<\/h3>\n<p>What do you think of the phone?
