Both Motorola Moto Z and Motorola Moto Z Force will come equipped with Moto Mods, for compatibility with future generations of Moto Z smartphones. The Moto Mods were demonstrated by Hollywood actor Ashton Kutcher in a special satellite video at the Lenovo Tech World 2016. The mods, which function like magnets attach to the Moto Z smartphones using 16 dots on the phones, which could enable them to be transformed into a more powerful camera or stereo, and of course extra battery. The Moto Mods will come bundled with the JBL SoundBoost, the Moto Insta-Share Projector (meant to deliver a 70-inch projector experience), and the Power Pack (said to provide up to 22 hours of additional battery life).
