    This is late. Apple innovated the first bending phone which is the iPhone 6

      EskeRahn, 18 Jun 2018We don't even know IF there will be a Z3 Force... Though I ... moreI'm confident there will be a Z3 Force. That's their only flagship phone each year, and there's no way they won't release a flagship phone this year.

      Moto X Force & Z Force were perfect. Z2 Force was disappointing due to unimpressive camera & small battery. If they could fix those two issues with Z3 Force, I'll definitely buy it!

      Oh and 3.5 mm jack isn't gonna come back. Almost everyone has ditched it except Samsung & LG (and some chinese companies). So you should not expect to see it return.

        [deleted post]Sony XZ2 is the fastest phone. Isn't it enough hater?

          [deleted post]Really? On an article without Sony, you mention it. Really?
          Lemme tell you something. I like the Sony Xperia XZ2. It's got a design that is comfortable in the hands and stands our from the crowd. It is a design that a select fanbase likes. So therefore, they're not making the phone for you. They make the phone for whoever wants to buy it. And if you aren't that person, well that's fine. But don't trash in a company for sticking to its own ideals.

            "There's a temperature sensor that works even when the phone is off and when it's folded."

            Bring it on so I can get accurate temps wherever I am & never rely on weather forecasts again xD

I have to say form factor works well too. I often ask to use his device for shots. Lenovo makes some of the world's best computers in think pads, as such I believe they could go fact make a solid gorgeous phone with their huge list of patents and capacity.

                  I bet Motorola will be successful on this product. They are the King of all original designs.

                      And I would not hold my breath for them fixing the issue with the lacking 3.5mm jack.

                        Interesting. Hope it will not be like Samsung that always has it "next year"...

                        It would be great with three-part device!

                        Imagine something like this old concept for real... Giving us a Phone, a phablet/Tablet and a qwerty-phone in one device

                          Motorola is one of the most underrated companies. Their phones are so good, but they don't sell much due to lack of brand appeal.

                          Personally I'm anxiously waiting for Z3 Force! I'll buy it as long as they fix the two issues i had with Z2 Force! :)

                            The World and universe does not need this device.

                              Some Ignorant Xiaomi Fans Were questioning on the Progress in regards to Patents and R&D of Motorola after Lenovo acquisition.

                              2 Minutes silence for all of them please.

                              LMAO.
