Importantly, MotoMods is a platform and other accessory makers are open to make accessory for these compatible phones. We think the Moto Z is a very impressive achievement and comes in at a great price too! The phone offers so many advantages that we are willing to forgive the average battery life in the stock form.

The projector will automatically correct the keystone depending on the angle of the phone and it is our favorite mod because of the massive functionality it adds in a very slim package. In a dark room, we found that a screen of 60-inches is very doable and plenty sharp. It instantly displays what’s on the screen - you could watch movies, share photos, YouTube et all. The InstaShare projector has a tiny lens, 50 lumen light source and a built in stand that you can use to prop it on a table. It won’t focus very fast though (especially at the tele end of the zoom) and in very light, you’ll be better off using the wider aperture of the device’s own camera. There are obvious advantages to the optical zoom and it offers excellent quality when the conditions are bright. Since it replaces the stock camera, you use it as you normally would: the photos are stored in the gallery and you can share/edit them at will. You still need to use the phone screen as a viewfinder though. It covers the stock camera module and gives you a 10x optical zoom, dedicated shutter/zoom ring and xenon flash. The Hasselblad name is impressive and so is the design and build quality of this mod.
#Trafe in instashare projector mods
We tried the Hasselblad and InstaShare Mods as part of this review. Then they have the three main Mods: the camera module by Hasselblad, the InstaShare Mod with built in LED pico projector and the JBL speaker system. If you need more style and want to add a more rounded shape, you can get the style shells (covers) in some lovely designs. In the ultra-thin guise, the battery life is compromised, so if you need extra battery, just snap it on. Mods can you get? Well, there’s the add on battery for starters. Obviously, these are optional extras but the price is not as prohibitive as you may think, especially considering the price of the some of the competing flagships. Right from the get-go, the Moto Z has a bunch of mods that you can get as magnetic, snap-on modules. The real magic is around theīack of the phone, where you’ll see a bunch of gold-plated connectors - this is where the MotoMods attach - the pins provide a high-speed data connection and can also supply power if needed. It’s so thin that it can’t possibly include a 3.5mm audio out, so it joins others like Apple and LeEco that have dropped the port in favor of a single port for charging, data and audio. It feels wafer-thin in the hand and it’s a wonder how they managed to pack in top-spec components and a beautiful screen into this frame. To start with, this has to be said: the Moto Z is incredibly thin at 5.19mm. The camera module by Hasselblad, the InstaShare Mod with built in LED pico projector and the JBL speaker system. It was clear that the concept needed more work and now its Motorola’s turn with the Moto Z and MotoMods. It was still a half-baked effort and we didn’t even see the camera module leave alone some of the others that were promised.
LG took on the challenge a while ago with the G5 - you could remove a section that housed the battery and add more functionality (like a camera module with added grip and buttons).
Needed better speakers? You could add a module with stereo speakers and so on.
Needed more battery life? You could remove the camera module and add a second battery.
Some time ago, we were promised modular smartphones: devices that we could modify ourselves with snap-fit modules. The ultra-svelte Moto Z may not be the first to offer modular accessories, but they have the best implementation so far. Ultra-thin design means a big, protruding camera module and smaller battery. + Nicely implemented snap-on ‘Mods’, super-thin design feels almost unreal, excellent performance, beautiful screen.
