Lenovo Moto Z and Phab2 Pro hands-on: First look

08 June 2016
At its Tech World event, Lenovo revealed how it both competes against and cooperates with Google. The new Moto Z flagship has its own take on modular smartphones, something the search giant has been trying to get off the ground for a few years. Then there's the Tango pioneer Phab2 Pro, which is Google brains running on Lenovo brawn.

      I don't know what is worse about hat camera bump - is that it is generally ugly or that it reminds me Nokia 920 (i.e. makes phone look outdated)?

      Except of that not much more criticism to say, but generally it is better to maker device overall thicker e.g. 7mm instead of having 6mm phone with 9mm camera bump (something Samsung realised 1,5 years ago). It makes phone more stable than put lets say on table, design sleeker and battery bigger.

      Except of that phones sound like worthy contender..

                  There is the moto z force with 3500 mah battery , i dont know what all the fuss is about, the two phones are going to be marketed to different users anyway, moto z for more casual users and z force for power users

                        QHD with that battery...sounds like a recipe for disaster. This is on my list, but unless they amp the battery up I dont see myself risking a purchase on this phone.

                          The Phab 2 Pro should be called the Google Lenovo Nexus 2016.

                              the software not *moto influence*, it's a Google phone, so obviously it'll run pure Android (with tango features, idk it's open source or not)

                                  Thanks for the next 5,5-inch 'phone'. Thanks for taking down Moto X(Z) series. Motorola and Google had no idea how to build the proper flagship, and Lenovo decided to kill it. See the latest Lenovo moves and the well make ZUK Z2 PRO and ZUK Z2. Do you still have any questions? Bye bye, Moto X(Z) ;)

                                    I like the approach they are taking with the mods but man that bottom bezel is hideous and 2600mah battery on a 5.5 inch qhd screen is a bad idea.

                                      In old days nokia and motorola (maybe even sony ericsson) were known to have best tech and quality, you could also toss them to the ground without worry. Only moto(rola) managed to build a phone that is of high quality(you can even toss a phone again - moto Z force) and brings something you could do with old phones - change covers. You get also to choose thickness(thin,quite thin,thick) based on battery size, camera with more/less pixels with a small bump what means phone is thin without suffering on camera quality part. Thats maybe why they outed old times with a motorola on youtube.

                                        I like this approach much better than that of lg.
