That makes it hard to find the right one by feel-you have to run your finger over them a few times to feel for the different texture of the power button. The power, volume up, and volume down buttons are all the same size and shape with the same distance between them. They're clicky and don't rattle around, but the separation is poor. The buttons are all on the right edge toward the top, and as I said in the hands-on post, I'm not really a fan. All the promo images of the phone are either with mods or bare. Although, that seems like it defeats the purpose of making the phone so thin if you use the cover all the time. It makes the phone feel more normal in the hand. The phone comes with a simple style shell that brings the camera hump flush with the rear surface (they're quite thick). It looks somewhat unfinished to me, probably because Motorola really, really wants you to put some Mods on it. The camera sticks out on the back of both phones several millimeters, and the bottom has the exposed pins for the Moto Mod accessories. There's an unusual texture to the aluminum panel that makes it a bit of a fingerprint magnet-not something I'd usually expect from a metal phone. The phone's flat aluminum back isn't the most comfortable, but it's saved somewhat simply because it's so light. That's impressive for a phone with a 5.5-inch display. The first thing you'll notice when picking up the Moto Z is that it's almost unbelievably thin at just 5.19mm, and it weighs 136g. If you’re in the market for a new phone (or have any of the z series motos already), this projector is worth the money.The Moto Z and Moto Z Force have a lot in common, except when it comes to some elements of the external design and display. The projector simply projects whatever is on the screen, and as long as the app has no external display blocking software (I’m looking at you, NFL) you can throw it right up to a huge display. I’d recommend it to anyone that enjoys novelty, can use android, and wants to be able to watch video or share photos or whatever on the go. The projector mod comes with a soft-sided case to carry it around when you don’t want it on your phone.Īltogether, I love both this phone and this projector. As far as I’m concerned, this was an absolute steal. I paid $300 for the Moto z2 force edition (flagship) phone and got the projector for free through Verizon. I don’t know if it will make it to 10,000 but only time will tell… I doubt I would be able to replace the bulb when it goes out, but I almost certainly will have a new phone by then. 10,000 hours is a LONG time for lamp life. It makes it very easy to get up and watching quickly almost anywhere. Auto-keystoning is really good in higher end models these days, and I was skeptical they could fit it into this tiny form factor, but they did very well. The mod is small enough to fit in my pocket (it makes it a pretty bulky phone, but hey it’s also a projector!) Here’s a shot of the whole assembly next to an uncased ipad pro, about the same thickness as the iPhone 6s: I’ve gotten it out intending to show a few people some pictures and wound up doing a full-on demo for a crowd of people that just walked up many times. In most bars and clubs it’s dark enough to share things with lots of people. It’s almost impossible to overstate how cool this is. So, untethered, you’ve got just short of three hours of watch time. At that point it will automatically switch from the projector’s internal power to the phone’s battery, which keeps you going for another ~1.5 hours if you started with a full charge. It’s awesome that the projector has a 1000 mAh battery built in, especially for the form factor of the whole setup, but that keeps the projector going for about 1.3 hours of watching. ![]()
