Motorola stated "Moto Z and Moto Z Force will be supported with patches from Android Security Bulletins. Update: We're getting conflicting information now on whether or not this is truly getting monthly updates. Major updates now take several months instead of several weeks, and a Motorola rep told us the company won't be providing security updates for the Moto Z. The device is no longer customizable on Moto Maker-you used to be able to make hundreds of color combinations, but now there are only three pre-baked color options, like any other phone. Motorola's love of software updates seems to have gone out the window, too. Along with the new name (formerly the Moto X) comes a huge jump in price: Motorola's flagship has gone from $400 in 2015 to $720 (for the Z Force) in 2016. Assuming the Lenovo had the same 12 to 18 months of pipeline after the October 2014 takeover, the Moto Z and Moto Z Force mark the first "Lenovorola" flagship.Īnd boy, are things different. When Google took over Motorola, the company mentioned it would have to clear "12 to 18 months of product pipeline" before Google's changes would take effect. Motorola couldn't hold Google's interest for very long, though, and in 2014, Google sold Motorola to Lenovo. The company delivered bang-for-your-buck hardware, stock Android with some actually good additions, and speedy updates. Under Google, Motorola was one of our favorite OEMs. The Moto Z (top) has rounded sides, while the Z Force (bottom) has sides that come to a point. The one design difference is in the sides.
