Moto Z vs Z Force (+ Moto Mods): Unboxing & Review

[@grandmaremedies]

Perhaps the best reviewer on youtube, better than MKBHD even.. hats off Micheal.. :)

[@robo5obionicgamer]

+toilet112 he sucks

[@RKMFX]

Best detailed review out there. Great job Mike.

[@srijannayak4868]

No matter how many reviews I watch, I will always return to your videos to make a purchase decision. You are my favorite unboxer and reviewer youtuber.

[@MatthewMoniz]

Nicely done! = ) Great review Michael!

[@DetroitBORG]

+Matthew Moniz Thanks Matthew! Send over that Dyson! ;)

[@MatthewMoniz]

+DetroitBORG it's on its way. I've set it to drive and clean the Borg residence

[@DetroitBORG]

Perfect! Canada isn't too far away is it? ;)

[@shaamanj4605]

i have that to a giveway

[@GoddardEmpire]

They should've provided a headphone jack on the Force. That would've made a lot more sense.

[@ljts6421]

They provide a connector so it's not a big problem.

[@GoddardEmpire]

Like Mike said, the connectors are just more accessories to lose. Having the adapter for the Z and providing a headphone jack for the Force would at least give users some options. It's not like they are waterproof or anything.

[@jayb8934]

+LreviewsT being able to plug headphones into a device is one of the most basic functionalities. You shouldn't need to carry around an extra easy to lose peripheral accessory just for that.

[@ljts6421]

+Jay B Not for all , I personally hardly ever use it and always charge my phone while I'm not using it at night. Also if ur want this phone u could just buy wireless headphones.

[@theofernandez430]

+LreviewsT someone who is fucking smart. Thank you for agreeing with my argument on another review. They all have been throwing a damn fit. Saying ohhh it's a mistake cuz it has no 3.5mm headphone jack. Like for real wtf. Use a damn Wireless Earbuds set like LG Tones or JBL or BeatsAudio.

[@reggievanness]

I'm still using my Moto Z force it's almost been two years and I still have good battery life and the performance is good I might just hang on to it for a while longer !😎 11-28-2018

[@ichigouzumaki324]

I've seen quite a few reviewers complain about the lack or headphone port and headphones adapters, "one more thing to lose" or "I have so many headphones, is so hard to keep track of the adapter." The average Joe and Jane don't have 100 pair of headphones and now days many use bluetooth headset. Why go so critical in the lack of the headphone jack. At least they're providing an adapter for the headphones and not making you buy one. Other than than that nice review and comparison between the phones.

[@pranjalramawat]

Honestly after release of any smartphone, be it Android or iOS, i wait for your review really because the content of your videos, the way you cover each and everything in them, each and every smallest to biggest details are never missed. This was an amazing video. Keep up the great work !

[@MrViral20]

you know considering that they made the moto z force bigger than the regular moto z, they could have re-introduced the audio jack, I mean if you are gonna make it bigger might as well throw it back in

[@lashingout2033]

It's not that one has the ability to hide the camera more or not. If they wanted, that camera could be flush with the phone. The reason they're that bump is to hold moto mods in place. They just made it the camera as well because it's the most functional option, with securing moto mods and keeping a hole in them for the camera at the same time (for those that allow use of the camera and the mod simultaneously)

[@TEQREATION]

Hey Mike - just stopping by to say how Badass your thumbnail looked

[@DetroitBORG]

+TeQreation Haha, thanks man!

[@ShellymanStudios]

DetroitBorg videos are A1 in my books.

[@DetroitBORG]

Very kind, thanks!

[@ShellymanStudios]

***** No prob, :)

[@TheXeonShock]

So Lenovo pulled an Apple before Apple could pull an Apple. Tongue Twister. >___

[@isaacmillan6821]

last time I was this early Motorola was owned by Google

[@DetroitBORG]

Good One! LOL

[@user-jk1ts3iv8u]

True

[@redey1290]

I wish they still were owned by Google, Lenovo is garbage.

[@user-jk1ts3iv8u]

+Redey1290 lol. True. I only heard about them when they bought moto.

[@timothybrown8424]

I appreciate that you have a close up on each phone feature.

[@BDTech9]

Landscape mode isn't exclusive to this phone, it's just a setting you can enable in google now launcher.

[@_IIN01]

On the skin for the camera... What are those two dot cut outs to the left of the cadre sensor for??? @9:05

[@janz1984]

I am thinking of getting this phone. I was a little excited that a projector can be attach to this phone. I wish you can make a quick review on how to use it.

[@sahilsingh1]

You should have done a battery life test with the moto mod battery pack on. It would have been also nice to see how much do the other moto mods drain the battery.

[@joaquinabradelo]

detroitborg, As Always My No. 1 Tech Chanel. Greetings From Barranquilla, Colombia.

[@jefflinduska]

awesome video. will you be using either as your new daily driver?

[@REDSHARKINTAMPICO]

Is there a hidden light between the upper micro and sim card slot or just a plastic gap?

[@JJFlores197]

I wish it was 75 degrees here in northern California. It's over 90 here.

[@fuckmeintheassandprankmesi7553]

Oh so people in the comments think the headphone jack is a deal breaker for iPhone but couldn't care less if it's a moto, hypocrites

[@noelpaul4532]

wow you really got 5 hours out of the Z. was that with light usage?

[@hassanjamil1099]

I was about to say mkbhd was my favourite tech reviewer, but after watching this video I think you might be my favourite tech reviewer now

[@islam_imad]

Best Reviews channel ever ! 👍

[@YasEmisDaBus]

Moto Z: Wow, this phone is innovative by removing the headphone jack! iPhone 7: WTF Apple, why did you remove the f**king headphone jack!

[@TheBoxingNinja]

Ník Vølvø the Moto z got rid of the headphone jack to market itself as the thinnest premium smartphone. Apple got rid of it for what reason again? Money? A second vibration mechanic, that tries to make the home button feel like a real button because they made it no longer be a real button?

[@tomasbarata188]

Will you do any iPhone 7 video before the official launch?

[@AlBroMedia]

Are you sponsored by dbrand?

[@OsamaAhmed-ov6om]

Come on dude reach 1 mil subs already!! Your work is ❤.

[@FutureTerminal]

do you buy all phones or the companies send them to you..??

[@IsiahHD]

Aside from the lack of a headphone jack, this is a very very awesome looking device. Checks all the boxes. As a Verizon customer, I might be looking at this phone very long later when I'm upgrading.

[@bryanshannon5560]

DetroitBORG, do you like that Motorola's Pro Mode in their camera app is very similar to Nokia's Pro Cam app from the Nokia Lumia Icon/Lumia 930 that you reviewed two years ago?

[@DetroitBORG]

+Bryan Shannon I love it, nice execution. It's been a long time since I used the Nokia however so it's hard to compare.

[@courtneyvegan9448]

disappointing about the heat. what happened to the interior cool bar moto was testing?

[@KNGLeonidas99]

wait wait , apple have similiar plan on their iphone 7 and 7 pro , the 7 pro have some kind of mod like moto z force

[@kyleisku]

Would you ever do a review on the ZTE Axon 7? I'd really like to hear your take on the $399 phone :D

[@williamobrien6340]

I have a question for you would Bluetooth headphones work?

[@DmytroBogdan]

Hey, Mike, did you move from Rotchester Hills? :)

[@DetroitBORG]

Nah, I'm still here, close to Auburn Hills however so that happens.

[@surajnm2353]

Hey mike, can u compare the thickness of the moto z with the battery mod to other flagships ? And is the 13 MP on the moto z equal to the nexus 6p or 6s ?

[@swojastharkude4853]

Is the moto z play & the moto z force different?

[@chimneypatel]

Mike, what is your favorite piece of tech?

[@chimneypatel]

Also, your videos are awesome and really in-depth! Keep it up!

[@liaquatali5206]

Is it good to buy Motorola z force in 2018

[@leonruben]

Liaquat Ali yeah, I bought one and is excellent

[@tomerleibovitch7263]

do you think that the apple watch is cool and something you need?

[@adeehassan7812]

it's dual sim or single..?. i mean can we use dual sim OR one sim nd msd card...??

[@Majoris]

Sir where you bought this moto mobile. Can you give me the link?

[@jadharb793]

on the back camera of my Moto z is written Moto is it a clone?

[@ladiddas]

You are the best at unboxing and reviews! You're the one that should've been called Unbox Therapy! lol

[@DetroitBORG]

Thanks man, I'm thinking of returning my videos to their roots with more live hands-on interaction, that might be more fun for unboxing fans I think.

[@adityakhadake2924]

what is the name of the widget used?

[@joaorlevy]

Excellent review Mike ! Keep up the good work .

[@Tagonns_Tech_Videos]

What game are you playin @ 6:48?

[@nerfkevin9111]

i think you forgot about the sony z5 compact/premium. Do a vid on it.

[@Yanmarman1]

Great review. I currently have a gs7 edge. I've cracked a screen on one already and had to purchase a new one. I'm concerned about cracking the new one as well. I'm thinking of trading my gs7 edge on the moto z force . I really want the shatterproof screen and the on to mods are awesome. Also I am not happy with the battery life on my gs7edge will the zforce be better in that department. I guess I'm asking would I be happy with the moto z force by trading my gs7edge.

[@Gustavoussgamer]

I love your reviews! Please never sellout like the others!

[@ljts6421]

What is the battery life of these devices?

[@tomweir7541]

I am so hoping this phone is available in New Zealand

[@RJM1982]

are you filiming this with ax100

[@Mutio86]

Why the heck is a "Lenovo" logo on both boxes?

[@DetroitBORG]

Lenovo bought Motorola.

[@Mutio86]

Thank you for the info! I didn't know that, I thought that Google still owns Motorola. Great review as always btw! :)

[@vatsalbagri7658]

Also there is a twist. Google sold Motorola but kept all the patents.

[@ahmedkamer2011]

why motorola is only available in usa we dont see it on middleast at all ?

[@DetroitBORG]

It's arriving this fall to other unlocked markets.

[@RajeshKumar-jh5ux]

Do suggest me to buy moto z or s7 edge?

[@marcosmanu4539]

I like it very much that round widget. it is available on the playstore??

[@DetroitBORG]

Not that I'm aware of actually. It's integrated with the OS and Moto mods so I'm assuming not.

[@AlBroMedia]

can you delete any of that verizon bloatwear?

[@DetroitBORG]

Yes

[@AlBroMedia]

good. thanks!

[@gro_skunk]

how long does the battery last with the battery pack mod?

[@xmasta105]

it adds 2200 mah so almost double of the z. so I would assume like 75 percent more

[@ShehzorNoufalBT12]

Like your videos man, hope you get a million subscribers.

[@DetroitBORG]

Thank You!

[@ramdutaggarwal3173]

which one is better in moto z nd moto z play pls reply must

Excellent as always. My only complain is that I dont think that this accesories are going to be obsolete. Moto just confirmed that they will keep working on next generation moto phones.

[@nikos-giorgos]

Really, the best review on moto z phones, bar none...

[@aryarifkip.1821]

13mp camera?

[@adeehassan9749]

does moto z force support dual sim...? rply...??

[@DSN262]

the only thing I don't like about these phones is the only screen navigation buttons, it take up a good portion of the screen

[@nerfkevin9111]

do one on the s7 active thanks!

[@Memphismade23]

Are you going to review the zte axon 7

[@DetroitBORG]

+Bulls Nation Trying to convince them to send me on, haha

[@andrewbarreto6408]

I've got a specific question about moto z battery life. Does anyone know of a battery life test for the non-force (2600 mAh) WITH the battery mod?

[@RajeshKumar-jh5ux]

In this video, battery screen on time 5 hours on moto z, how it is possible only having 2600mah battery that to QHD display

[@Nicolas-ov4qu]

Hey detroit, i have question I want to buy a new cel but, wich one is better: S7 or LG G5?

[@DerekRoig]

G5

[@redey1290]

S7 - Better display and waterproofing G5 - Replaceable battery and... I dunno?

[@waseemjaas7757]

s7

[@motivated_capybara]

Depends on what you wants in your phone: BATTERY: Samsung Galaxy S7 edge DISPLAY: Samsung Galaxy S7/edge PERFORMANCE: Samsung Galaxy S7/edge (Exynos-variant) CAMERA: LG G5 BUILD QUALITY: Samsung Galaxy S7/edge AUDIO: LG G5 OS: LG G5 (much more optimized and less bloatware)

[@maxsonly]

S7 ^^

[@trunks673]

Where are the specifications

[@nerfkevin9111]

pls do a vid on the s7 active

[@AnunayGandhi]

What are the prices for both

[@DetroitBORG]

$624/720

[@twannieboy111]

can anyone tell me when the force is going to be released in Europe?

[@alexisa240]

Never US-Verizon Exclusive

[@deamondeathstone1]

The fingerprint scanner and the microphone holes kinda ruin it.

[@eurekatech8221]

Why is there Lenovo written on the box?

[@playerslayer4577]

Lenovo bought Motorola a while back.

[@eurekatech8221]

+PLAYER SLAYER oh okay

[@alejandrovalencia4672]

how will you charge it while u use the headphones any idea . i think thats their big downside for 2016

[@Jobaa87]

With a battery pack mod.

[@Kreegers_performance]

I just got the Moto z force last night. love it.

[@AnimallPak]

How is it now?

[@Kreegers_performance]

AnimallPak love it. you do gotta watch the earpiece. it's has little protection and gets dust in it. I'm having to put scotch tape over the earpiece and poke holes in the tape to keep dust out.

[@YasEmisDaBus]

Dan Kreeger that sucks. BTW, the dislike was for the suckyness.

[@sodica81]

Still use te z force?

[@tonyramirez3944]

Whats the car game called?

[@davidvandergouw4016]

did you like beyond

[@DetroitBORG]

I really enjoyed it and want to see it again! Love the action and character moments. Only big hiccup for me is Krall's muddled motivation and backstory, very oddly done but I got a huge kick out of the Enterprise Series connections.

[@davidvandergouw4016]

+DetroitBORG yea the same thing for me. for sure the best one out of the reboot movies

[@junaidj.d9480]

How can i get them

[@morells09]

Lol I was wondering when Dbrand was going to show Mike the $$$$$

[@mdsaifulislam-bd5jy]

hey bro! if I used this phone(moto z)long time that's gonna be hot?

[@user-jk1ts3iv8u]

I have a quesrion, My iphone 6 plus currently has a cracked screen and water damage. Should i buy the 7 when i comes out or fix my current one and get the 8?

[@princeduties2991]

iPhone 7 or Galaxy s7 edge

[@philliptran9427]

what is better s7, moto z force, or lg v10. Also would you have mods or removable back

[@jayaqua8431]

s7

[@deltaphoenix8616]

s7

[@creativeplanet2820]

Phillip Tran Z force

[@philliptran9427]

creative planet what about v20

[@creativeplanet2820]

Phillip Tran v 20 is also a good device with the high quality dack & all ,but Z force has better build quality , modular , Super amoled display & shatterproof display :v ! & forgot the removal battery of the V20 is good , personally I would slap on the battery mod :P but then again moto-mods are expensive for now !

[@kornikof9867]

latest phone in 2016 and don't have the "clear all" in recent apps, adding mods will cover rear mic... no excitement on both phones for me, sorry!

[@scottcairns12345]

Wow! This is the first time i've been early for anything!

[@باسلمحمد-ر9غ]

hi is it going 2 be avilable worldwide ?

[@DetroitBORG]

Yes, look for it this fall.

[@باسلمحمد-ر9غ]

+DetroitBORG sorry but what does fall mean ?

[@abrarshameem1496]

+‫باسل محمد‬‎ He means Autumn, basically he's saying to look for it from August to November

[@باسلمحمد-ر9غ]

+Abrar Shameem oh thanx bro

[@abrarshameem1496]

باسل محمد No problem bro

[@LeeBrian2724]

DetroitBorg's Reviews are the BEST!

[@charleshill3789]

You missed reception and call quality tests..but nice review

[@kimmarcus4099]

Enjoyed the review. Thanks. Also nice to know you are local.

[@nerfkevin9111]

do a vudeo on the s7 active

[@solideliquid]

Great video, amazing attention to detail. Always a fan!

[@GustavoAlejandro96]

Moto Z, S7, HTC 10, X Performance... Is this the year of the beautifully designed phones or what? :) PS: DBorg just joined to the dbrand crew :o

[@jarvisfields8420]

i like the Newport cigarette box design!
