awinicFlash LED Driver inside
Hey, did you miss the news?
There's a new Snapdragon 835 phone on deck, and that one is Lenovo's Moto Z2 Force Edition, a super-thin handset that keeps the modular dream alive... for now!
The new Moto Z2 Force Edition has just been introduced in the United States where it will be sold by all four major carriers in the country. Moreover, pre-orders for the high-end smartphone have opened the day before yesterday (25 Jul 2017), but the Moto Z2 Force won't hit the shelves until next month.
According to what the official website released, the new Moto Z2 Force EditionhasSnapdragon 835, ShatterShield Display, Dual Cameraas characteristics. Besides,awinic Flash LED Driveralso can be found inside this high-end smartphone.
And now, without further ado, let's figure out what all the characteristics are about.
While the basic components are the same, there are some more noticeable differences when compared with the Z Force. Firstly, the metal back itself has received a major change:gone is the ridged horizontal design, which has been replaced by a more conventional brushed metal look.Surrounding it from all sides are what appear to be antenna lines, while the Moto mods connector has been slightly redesigned.
With the Moto Z, Lenovo seemed very focused on one particular aspect of its design: thickness — or the lack of it. Our own review last year called it "preposterously thin," though the reason behind that choice (Moto mods) seemed pretty clear. And since there is no Moto Z2 this year, the Z2 Force Edition has inherited this aspect of the Moto Z, though whether this was the right call remains to be seen.
Lastly, what necessary to be mentioned is that just like the previous entries in the Z line, the Z2 Force Edition does not feature a headphone jack — sorry, audiophiles!
HARDWARE
On the inside, things start to get a bit more exciting. This being Moto's 2017 flagship, few expenses have been spared in terms of specs.For starters, there's the Snapdragon 835 SoC — the same one you'll find in the Samsung Galaxy S8, OnePlus 5, and Xiaomi Mi 6 — which has more than proven its high performance.Coupled with it you'll find either 4 or 6 GB of RAM, while internal memory will be either 64 or 128 GB.
Those differences are regional, though, so don't get your hopes up for having much of a choice on the matter. U.S. get the worst possible combo: 4 GB RAM and 64 GB storage.The rest of the world gets an upgrade to 6 GB of RAM, while China also gets the increased storage. However, all versions of the device will have an SD card slot.
CAMERA
Following the 2017 trend of dual-camera smartphones, the Z2 Force Edition comes equipped with a module of its own, which can be found on the rear, right inside the iconic circular camera bump. It's of the monochrome-color variety, the same idea as in the Huawei P10, for example.
Its resolution looks like a downgrade on paper: both sensors are 12 MP, instead of the Z Force's 21 MP. However, this could mean the actual sensors are larger in size, and thus can take in more light (which would increase image quality), though it remains to be seen how they'll perform in real life. On the back you'll also find the same dual LED and laser autofocus as on the device's predecessor, though.
And as one might expect from a dual camera, there's a portrait mode for that perfect artsy shot, but you can also use it to capture native black-and-white photos, HDR, and more. And we expect to see some fairly good photos come out from this camera: both sensors are Sony's IMX386, the same as the ones found inside the Xiaomi Mi 6.
As for the front camera, it's still a 5 MP shooter, but this time its front flash has been upgraded to a dual module as well —great news for those who love taking selfies in the dark.
The Moto Z2 Force Edition pre-orders have opened now, but Verizon won't start shipping the smartphone until August 10.
Also, the US variant of the Moto Z2 Force will pack just 4GB RAM and 64GB internal memory, unlike the Chinese version that comes with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage.
Finally, you will be able to choose from two colors: Black and White/Gold with the prices of $720.00(about 4,800 RMB).
