In 2016 everything looked like it could develop into a real success. Understandably, they have invested a lot of time and money.
Motorola has been intensely promoting Moto Mods for the past two years. You can get significantly better projectors at similar prices, even if they’re not so easy to transport. That’s a great idea, but unfortunately it leaves a lot to be desired in terms of quality, and it still costs around 200 dollars. Or there’s the Insta-Share Projector: with a small projector module you can project videos directly from your smartphone onto a wall.
The audio modem costs just under 100 dollars, but you can get much better Bluetooth speakers, and usually for much less money. The brand just doesn’t have enough fans.Īs many people noticed quite early on, the mods were never really worth their price. Even despite all the mods, these are prices that maybe Samsung and Apple can handle, but a manufacturer like Motorola can’t. But if you add one or two mods, that's well over $1,000. Here’s an example: the most interesting smartphone of the Z series, the Moto Z2 Force, cost $720 without any mods. The purchase costs are so high that the idea of getting a smartphone along with the mods quickly becomes interesting. © NextPit Price has always been a problem The Gamepad Mod makes gaming on your smartphone more fun. After two years there are a few mods, but that’s not really enough. The pictures you take can now also be printed out directly from your smartphone. Even a real optical zoom can become reality with the help of the Hasselblad True Zoom, although the results are somewhat disappointing. The sound of your smartphone isn’t enough for you? Thank to the JBL audio mod, the Motorola smartphone will sound much better. Need more battery power? That’s no problem, since thanks to the Power Pack you’ll have 2220 mAh of extra battery on board. There are few limits to the possibilities.
Instead of inserting the modules into the bottom of the phone, which significantly limits its versatility, they are simply placed on the back of the smartphone. Motorola’s implementation of mods was also much more interesting than the competition’s. After LG, Motorola was the second manufacturer to take the idea of mods really seriously (excluding Google’s Project Ara).
