A few days ago we had a chance to get a first look at the latest smartphone from Motorola. The company that pioneered the cell phone era has created the new Moto Z² Force Edition, designed to transform itself quickly and easily and allow you maximum flexibility at the flip of the wrist. With the Moto Mods concept you can turn the device into a 360˚ camera,  gaming console, a movie projector, stereo speaker, battery powerhouse, and more. Whatever your passion, there’s a Moto Mod for you. The smartphone itself is thin, light, fast, and best of all shatterproof.

Let’s start with the camera. The Moto Z² Force gives you two 12 MP rear cameras for professional-looking photos with enhanced depth of field. Add a blur effect to the background or foreground while keeping the subject in focus or use selective black & white to give full-color photos a distinctive look. Plus, you can make adjustments in real time, so you know the image you’re capturing is the one you want.

You can shoot sharp photos day or night with Motorola’s first camera that combines laser autofocus and dual autofocus pixels. The 5 MP front-facing camera gives you a dual cct flash for great selfies in any light, and with the wide angle lens, can fit everyone into the frame.

It responds to every tap, touch and swipe with the fast data speeds, download books, movies, and large files in no time. You can stream music, shows, and videos effortlessly—even in Ultra HD.

This smartphone is ultra-slim with aluminum unibody delivering both style and strength. The thin, all-metal design helps stand up to everyday wear and tear. And with the shattershield, your screen is guaranteed not to crack or shatter. It also has water-repellent nanocoating which protects against light water situations.

And with the one-button nav you can easily navigate your phone using the fingerprint reader. Swipe left to go back, right to access recent apps, tap to go home, and use one long press to lock your phone. With no buttons to clutter the screen, you get a much better view.
