hey what's up guys is now from Android authority and we're here in New York where Motorola has just announced its new Moto z2 horse flagship Motorola was hoping this will be your next smartphone but what's new and should you buy it let's take a look like last year's Moto G Force there's a 5.5 inch quad HD Super AMOLED panel that offers deep blacks and vibrant rich colors and as the false name suggests the z2 Force comes with Motorola's patented shatterproof display technology essentially this means you've struggled to break the screen no matter what you try and do which is great if you're clumsy and always tired of fixing your broken display under the hood the Moto G 2 force is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 CPU with 4 gigabytes of RAM and 64 gigabytes of expandable storage which is rather standard fare for a 2017 flagship the z2 force also comes with gigabit LTE support on all the major carriers but given the need for very specific antenna to make this work motorola won't be selling a single unlocked variant in the u.s. instead there'll be individual SKUs for each carrier and while the handset will be unlocked if bought from Motorola comm you'll have to click a carrier for gigabit LTE support on the back is wrote the same old as well as all change with Motorola sticking to its motor modes promise which is the launch of two new modes as well as an all-new dual camera array the new dual camera features two 12 megapixel sensors one monochrome in one color both of which have F 2.0 aperture unlike last year's Motors equals however there's no optical image stabilization and an F 2.0 there's definitely a compromise in the cameras low-light capabilities at least on paper the new dual camera comes paired with what Motorola is calling next-gen laser autofocus that can focus at distances of up to five meters even in low light and the camera is also able to capture true black and white photos which essentially just uses the monochrome sensor for shooting as Motorola's promised previously it's motor mods will be compatible with any other Moto G rage which means the two most popular mods from last year the battery pack and the JBL speaker will also work with the moto z2 force which is a good thing as you'll probably want to buy a battery pack mod given the batteries taking a hit from 3500 milliamp hours last year to 27 30 milliamp hours this year of course Motorola is hoping you won't just stop at the battery mode on the speaker and if you're a gamer the new gaming pad mod could be for you mobile gaming can be at all especially for racing and action games where there's a lot of controls and this mod brings back the controls you'd normally find on a traditional games console controller as well as a large battery to boot the other new mod is a 360-degree camera that allows you to capture 360-degree video 150 degrees still images and selfies and all of this can be edited directly on the phone and you're also able to live stream directly from your phones to various social networks the Moto G to force is definitely nice in the hand and at 6 millimeters thin it's one of the lightest flagships on the market yet the battery and the camera both feels like compromises at least on paper especially as there's no moto z2 just the force this year interestingly the handset will also be known as a moto g2 force everywhere which means there will be no Droid branded various city are either the moto g2 force is available to pre-order now from $30 per month and will be available in saw on August 10th at all major carriers Best Buy and Motorola comm the buy outright will cost between $700 and $150 depending on the carrier you choose while pre-orders and those who order before september 10 will get last year's projector mod included for free the 360-degree camera will also be available in-store gnorga sent at a cost of $299 in the US and for other markets pricing for the z2 force and the mods will be announced in due course so what do you think of the moto z2 force and is a dual camera and motor mods enough to make this your next smartphone let us know what you think in the comments below give us a thumbs up if you liked this video and head over to android authority comm for more on the motor z2 course including where to buy it once you're done come back here don't forget to subscribe and stay tuned because we are your source for all things
