Damn, I had just decided to upgrade from my Z2 Play to the Pixel 3a, and then I receive the email to pre-order this one. Now I'm going to have to wait a little bit to see which one I'll go for. Its a bit more expensive, but I've been a Moto guy since the first Moto G and X. The gestures are actually useful, and the 2-day battery is fantastic!

It seems the "Approach for Moto Display" was lost in favour of that bezel less screen. I guess there was no more room for the IR sensors which is a bummer since it was a truly useful feature.

[@SimoneDePascalis]

Shoot, are you sure they're not there anymore? I would've loved a more symmetrical design, even with a bigger bezel

[@mukundkaul9251]

What about Moto mod projector 2

[@BloodmoonPyke]

I think the design is awesome as always. Feels very well constructed and built. Also the onscreen-fingerprint and the ability to use all of the mods is a huge advantage!

[@minjod]

They need to fix the design before the launch. That gap with mods on is stupid. Or ship with new mods that fit the phone without gaps

I have 2 phones that I use daily, one with Snapdragon 630 and one with Snapdragon 821. The difference in performance is almost non-existent, the battery life is a whole different story though. 6XX Snapdragons are way more power efficient and I'd take them any day over 8XX This new moto seems like a perfect phone

@@AlonzoLopez2005 I've owned two of them. Great concept and a very fun phone. Problem is I do doordash and I am a power user. Constantly plugged in and draining batteries due to the fact that I'm always using GPS and data. It does a tune on these phones because they have sealed batteries. I currently have the Moto g power. I miss my mods. I hope they come up with an updated mod phone that has a better battery 🔋.

[@carlgoogle2869]

@@AlonzoLopez2005 they didn't have the battery mode when I first had this phone. For a while they were creating new mods and they even had a program where users of the phone could contribute their ideas for new mods. I would love to get another one and I still have the JBL speaker, as well as the video game controller adapter. I wanted to get the projector mod so that I could use it as a TV at home. The only thing that sucks about that phone is it's a sealed battery. It's too bad they didn't make it so you could replace the batteries. I hope they continue this concept with a newer updated phone. I am currently using a Motorola g power phone because of the outstanding battery life but unfortunately it does not accept any of the mods. This is also a great phone from them but it's not as cool as that concept.

[@ALionlikeMane]

I've got a couple questions regarding this phone. I have the Z3 now, freshly updated to Pie and while I love the hardware and love the mods, this phone seems to be THE ENEMY of immersive mode. Them going with Moto actions instead of the native "one-handed mode" Pie means that there's many apps that have this disgusting gray bar locked at the bottom of the screen, and no itemized "hide nav bar" menu to give me control over it. Then I see CoD Zombies being played and it doesn't wrap around the notch... so that big, beautiful 6.4 screen gets depleted by all these nasty black and gray bars until it's indistinguishable from just using a phone with a smaller screen. I think LG nails this the best. Even on a budget phone like the Stylo 4, I have the option to hide the navbar in EVERY app if I want to, as well as make any app I want full-screen. Can you see if the Moto Z4 gives us any such options? I will literally pre-order it day one if I see they've stepped away from their anti-immersive mode ways. If you're willing to test it, there's a free game called Arcane Soul that should let me know all I need to know about whether this phone gives me the freedom to make all my apps/games fullscreen. Can you download it on a Z4 and see if you can get it to be totally full screen?
