See how everything can change in a snap
With the innovation of Moto Mods™, do things you never thought were possible with a phone. Through interchangeable backs that snap onto your phone with powerful integrated magnets, make your imagination reality. Whatever your passion, there’s a Moto Mod for you.

Power for your whole day
Go all day¹ with a 2600 mAh battery: watch movies, download apps, browse the web, and do everything you want to do. Plus, the included TurboPower™ charger gives your Moto Z up to 7 hours of battery life in just 15 minutes of charging.

Beautiful shots. Any setting. Any time.
The perfect moment doesn't always mean the perfect conditions. That’s why Moto Z includes optical image stabilisation and laser autofocus, which help you take true-to-life pictures in any light, in crystal clear detail.

Go from selfies to groupies
The front-facing 5 MP camera includes a wide-angle lens, which is great for fitting friends into the picture. With an extra flash on the front, everybody looks their best—even in low light.

Free storage with Google Photos
Your Moto Z comes with up to two years of free storage at original quality in Google Photos, the smarter way to store photos and videos. They’re automatically backed up, organised, and searchable, so you can find and share photos faster than ever.

A password as unique as you
Forget about typing your passcode. Simply touch the fingerprint reader and it instantly wakes up and unlocks your phone. Unlike some phones, the reader recognises your unique fingerprint no matter which way you hold it.

Beauty in every frame. Brilliance in every pixel.
Bring your photos and videos to life in ultra-sharp detail with 77% more pixels than a 1080p display. Even capture and play back amazing 4k video all on the same screen.

Do it all. All at once.
Play games, stream video, and multitask at the speed of life. The ultra-powerful Qualcomm®Snapdragon™ 820 processor, paired with 4 GB of blazing-fast memory, gives you all the performance you need.

Powerful features. Durable design.
Moto Z is razor-thin and ultra-light. Made from military aircraft-grade aluminium and stainless steel, it’s both durable and stunning to look at. Plus, a water-repellent coating protects it from the inside out.

Moto Z isn't the first or last modular phone, but it's the first time we liked the idea on an Android device and see the potential behind building out our smartphone with new accessories. Options like a pico projector and attachable boom box are creative...
