    But it is clear that htc 10 is not a camera as good as the other flagships.
    So dxomark is not decisive of a camera's performance but the reviews shows that the camera do not have proper processing and it over exposes in a lot of situations, in the panoramic photos the stitching is a mess and the low light performance is also average. So to sum it up the camera of moto z is not that good. The moto mods are definitely better implementation than lg g5 of modularity even it looks great but its camera could have been improved a lot and in a lot of areas

          rrhyme, 24 Jul 2016should had used zenfone 3 deluxe here..For some elaborate examples, Asus Zenfone 3 Deluxe with model code ZS570KL of the S820 variant was featured on their 'New phones of the week' circulation written on June 3rd (Stare at Source 1). The phone managed to get a poll entry (Investigate Source 2) the same day and even already took the crown as phone of the week by 12th of June (Glint on Source 3). If one was thinking of the S821 variant, fact: GSMA published an article regarding its official announcement by Asus on the 12th of July (Glance at Source 4). But for whatever reason GSMA has, again, fact: there was no mention of the Zenfone 3 Deluxe with S821 on their soon-to-be 'New phones of the week' article dated 15th of July (Look over Source 5). This sequence of events leads to the sole plausible reason I can think of why either of the Zenfone 3 Deluxe variant could not make it to their July 17th 'Best new phone of the week' poll (Scan Source 6), and much more so could not possibly result in a win after votes have been recorded by the 24th of July (Skim through Source 7). Because doi! How could either Zenfone 3 Deluxe variants ever win if either was not included on their latest edition of the poll? Now, one might ask: how come Zenfone 3 gets enlisted twice for appearing in two instances of 'New phones of the week' articles (Glimpse on Sources 1 and 5) and in two instances of 'Best new phone of the week' polls (Peek on Sources 3 and 7). If several tries to conjure up the Zenfone 3 is Zenfone 3 line, they may be right if for some out of this world reason ZE552KL is ZE520KL (Squint at Sources 1 and 5). The Zenfone 3 entry on the previous poll was the ZE552KL model (Study Sources 1, 2, and 3), while the latest poll has the ZE520KL as one of the four handset choices (Examine Sources 5, 6, and 7)

            rrhyme, 24 Jul 2016should had used zenfone 3 deluxe here..Clearly, these particular polls they create do not operate the way you suggest. Even I could not have discerned what you suggested as possible. The only way for either variant of Zenfone 3 Deluxe to make it to the recent list is if GSMA manipulated their own newswriting and publication system. Generally, for a phone to be listed in their 'Best new phone of the week' polls, it most likely requires to get featured and, at times, specified in their 'New phones of the week' articles. It would not matter if a phone was recently announced, unveiled, launched, released, put on sale, or if GSMA recently received an ordered phone. If it was not covered in their 'New phones of the week' article, one could bet high that the phone would not make it as an entry in a 'Best new phone of the week' poll. Oh, the perks of technical writing sometimes entail a technical exposition

              Like the review from pocketnow etc.
              I am not saying that the camera is terrible but it is a flagship phone aimed to compete with the best like s7, lg g5 and others
              As a flagship device it should sport a better camera.

Motorola is a well recognized brand and is known for its quality and innovation. Moto z series is truly innovative due to its customizable and future proof design (the mods would be compatible with future moto z phones). Hour that it is made available soon.

                          It's got the phone of the week for only one reason and one reason only, it's because Huawei didn't do its homework well otherwise Honor 8 had a better chance because of its reputation and fans .
