hey guys this is Austin today I'm here with something that's just a little bit different this is a Hasselblad camera attachment for the Moto Z now the camera on this guy is absolutely no joke however with the true zoom you're actually adding an entirely different camera system to the back of the phone so this is the true zoom now it actually kind of feels by itself like a camera however you can take it to a Moto Z and there you go simple as that so the true zoom itself actually feels a lot like a proper camera so you've got a dedicated shutter button it's got a nice sort of hefty feel in the hand with a little bit of a grip also inside it looks like we actually have a carrying case the cool thing about moto mods is that they're super easily detached and re attached so what you want though you don't want to have this extra bulky thing you slide into this little carrying case well the truism definitely does add some bulk to the phone it's not crazy so let's select my pocket it actually fits no problem it might be a little bit thicker than what I want to carry around every day however when you're done with it it's easy enough to just take it right off and it's no big deal to go along with the true zoom there's also the brand new moto Z play so the Moto Z play is a more mid-range version of the Moto Z so inside you're rocking a snapdragon 625 instead of the 820 and you're also getting a 1080p screen versus 1440p however as far as the build goes this is pretty much identical there is one small upgrade with the Moto Z play though and that is the rien of a headphone jack and i mighta had seemed like a big deal however both of its bigger brothers are completely lacking any kind of headphone jack you're forced to use us PC oh oh that looks like a thing right there so the first thing I noticed is that the zoom is fast so it is a 25 to 210 millimeter lens now mind you you do definitely lose a lot of light so it's something like F 6.5 when you actually zoom in so it's more for like outdoor situations but if you need that zoom this is not something to be able to get on a normal smartphone so we have the full auto mode if we expand it out we can also pick black and white we could also go for the raw mode it's also clear there's not a huge sensor inside here so honestly it's probably a little bit bigger than most smartphone sensors but definitely nowhere near anything like a proper point-and-shoot speaking of if I have one is probably the best point-and-shoot out there right now the Sony rx100 mark for now side by side well moto Z is definitely a little bit longer the thickness actually isn't too bad whoa that was quite the flash Wow so this also has a xenon flash I'm curious to see how much of a difference that makes to battery life when it comes to actual image quality the true zoom is good but not amazing a lot of that is due to the small sensor in lens the laws of physics limit what you can do in such a thin package while having that extra zoom range is really helpful when you have saw lighting it does hurt low-light performance there's a nice advantage and just using the built-in camera on the Moto Z play get some more light and it fares better but it still trails behind the note 7 which is the best smartphone camera out right now once you use the zoom though you can get shot you would just miss with a normal smartphone the ability to compress the background really isn't possible with the normal wide-angle lens color and sharpness are more in line with a regular point-and-shoot versus a DSLR but the raw and black and white modes can help pull more out of the camera just don't expect anything crazy the true zoom name is no joke that really is the main advantage you'll be able to get your hands on it on September 15th for $250 it might be a bit on the pricey side but considering what you get it's actually not a bad package
