Motorola - Moto Z Droid 4G LTE with 32GB Memory Cell Phone - Black/Lunar Grey (Verizon)

The wife and I were due for an upgrade through Verizon. I as always look for the best deals and decided to once again checkout best buy since last time we were due for our 2 year upgrade they had the best deals. Never less once again they did. I paid $1.99 for my fantastic Motorola Moto Z Droid as my 2 year annual upgrade. I checked an actual Verizon store and they wanted $28 a month for 24 months( the length of our contract). I asked the Verizon rep how best buy can price there phones cheaper and all he said was we don't own the phones so there able to price them at whatever they want. Anyway at the deal of $1.99 with our new 2 year agreement, it was an unreal deal. Plus it came with a free JBL speaker Moto Mod that sells for $79.99 on its own. I cant believe both the wife and I got these phones and each a JBL Moto Mods for a total of $3.98. It would have cost my wife and I an extra $56 a month for these phones on top of our regular bill if I hadn't gone to best buy. The Moto Z Droid is the best phone I've ever had. I'm coming from a Samsung S4 and the wife iPhone 5s. Blows both phones out of the water in every aspect. Probably the best phone out to date

I had to update from a Note Edge when it stopped working. I probably would have stayed with the Samsung Notes but we all know the story with the Note 7. So I started looking at other options. I really considered the S7 but I decided to give the Moto a try. What drew me first were the mods especially the battery mod. I really like to have an extra battery around but since that is becoming less available on phones the fact that I could snap on a battery case was a big plus for me. The second thing I really liked is the fact how thin the moto is, without any of the mods of course. The phone performance is great and I haven't noticed any significant difference between my old Samsung and this one. Obviously this is quicker since it's two years newer. Like with any new phone there are some things that I miss and some things I like more. I don't think the camera is as good as Samsung, but it's still good. The moto does have an SD card slot so most of my pictures music etc moved over nicely. I haven't had any problems with calling or signal. The size is comparable to the note just slightly smaller but I haven't noticed a difference. In all I'm happy with the moto. I think anymore the "flagship" phones are more similar than different so it was just a matter of getting used to a new UI. Honestly if Samsung didn't have their problem I would have just got the Note 7. The Moto has been a good phone so far and while at times I miss the Samsung environment those moments don't last long. In the end I feel the Moto is a good alternative to the Apple Samsung dominated market.

I brought this phone home only to find out that the WiFi hardware was not working. It would not pick up any WiFi signals. I called Best Buy and they said they would have to order another phone for me because they didn't have any in stock. When the new phone came in it worked really great except I could not hear people over Bluetooth, which I found out was a common problem with the phone that was on some message boards. I took this second phone into the Best Buy in Auburn, CA and they said that they could not order me a new phone unless I turned in the phone that was having problems, which would have meant I would have no phone for a week. I explained that they had already ordered me one before without me turning in my phone. They said that that was impossible and that their system would not allow it. They said that they had none in their warehouse, even though this was a really new phone and that is why they couldn't just order me a new one without me trading in my defective phone. They also said if I got a different phone I would have to pay a fee for restocking, even though I just wanted a phone that worked properly. It was so discouraging that I just said I will live without talking on the phone through Bluetooth in my car. Now it is about a month in and the Bluetooth won't even turn on at all, which really sucks during my one hour each way commute to work. No more music streaming. It is a beautiful phone that I just wish didn't have these problems. If Best Buy just had a better exchange policy and a more professional ordering system, I would love this phone and have one that works right now.

I bought the Moto Z this speaker and the projector. The Moto Z in general gets very hot in my opinion. To the point of where my hand would start to feel moist. The mods with this phone are awesome. This speaker is great and would definitely recommend that but be aware of that I would say $40 of the cost of speaker is for the convenience of having it on your phone. The phone itself was very quick overall but I did have issues with there being a delay whenever I would type something -about .25 second so very little lag but sill LA nonetheless. I really liked how thin the phone is but since I have larger hands it wasn't for me especially with the lag when typing and how hot it would get. The battery life will last you all day but you'll definitely be needing to charge it by the end of the day especially if you're like me and use your phone to browse Reddit all day as well. I put a lot of heavy use on my phones and I was able to use it for 10 hours without needing to charge it I would say. Overall I would recommend the phone if you didn't mind it being warm sometimes, which seems to be an issue with a lot of phones today being house than they are in the material that's being used, but would it recommend exercising caution if that's going to be a bother for you the mods are very pricey as well. The projector work amazingly well and I was able to watch a full movie on it. If you're really wanting the phone but don't need to get a new phone I would probably recommend waiting until Motorola comes out with the second version of this so that they have had the opportunity to refine it just a bit further but overall I would still definitely recommend the phone still especially if you're a gadget person like myself.

I had read very good online reviews of the Moto Z, and the deal that Best Buy was offering was amazingly good. I was upgrading from a Moto X 2nd Gen, which I had always liked very much. The Moto Z continues everything that was good about the Moto X, but it is noticeably faster and snappier response, has a bigger and sharper screen, and is amazingly thin. I have had many people express amazement at how thin the phone is. I purchased my phone when the JBL speaker was being offered with it. I don't know how often I will use it, but the technology of adding the mods was pretty impressive. I will probably purchase the extended battery mod for when I'm travelling and taking a lot of pictures, etc. I did notice on my old Moto X that using the camera would chew up the battery in a hurry. I haven't used the camera a lot on the Moto Z yet, but it seems like maybe it is not as much of a battery hog. I am not on my phone constantly like most people, so I have yet to exhaust the battery during a day of usage, I think the lowest I've gotten is down into the teens percent by the end of the day. But I think it is pretty clear that if I was travelling and taking a lot of pictures, googling restaurants, etc. a lot, that the extended battery mod would be a must. Phone conversations are similar in quality or maybe slightly better than the Moto X was. All in all, the Moto Z seems like a very nice piece of technology. I hope Moto will have a lot of innovation on the Mods and not let it die out.

I got this phone because my Nexus 6p was having major battery issues and the CPU would throttle to a crawl too often with light use. After 2 replacements with the same issues I got fed up and went for the Moto Z because it was too good of a deal to pass up. I have always been a Nexus user and passed on the pixel as I was not all that impressed and for the XL it felt like a bad value. This Moto Z has exceeded my expectations. It has Nougat already and a near stock experience and the software tweaks like ambient display, chop flashlight, Moto voice has improved on the stock Android experience. Snapdragon 820 and 4gb ram flies and hardly throttles. Display is excellent as it's AMOLED. The size is perfect and it's ultra thin and easier for 1 handed use compared to the 6p. Phone is so light and will cause less wrist fatigue compared to the other flagships. Battery life is alright and I can get a days use despite the 2600mh battery, however I also have the Incipio battery mod for situations the regular battery isn't enough and it eliminates battery anxiety. Only thing i wish was better was the camera. The 6p took better low light shots and I needed to take multiple pics with the Z to get a decent one. With adequate light the camera is amazing and no worse then the 6p. For selfie lovers there is a front flash on this model which makes selfies better then any other phone out there I've seen including the pixel and iPhone 7. All in all this is a flagship phone that was an absolute bargain price. Best phone hands down for anything under $400 and would highly recommend it.

I am very happy with my purchase. I am a big fan of Android phones and upgraded to the Moto Z from a Droid Turbo. The phone has turbo charging and the battery lasts a full day with heavy use. Has all the same Moto features that my Droid Turbo had: Moto Voice command, chop for flashlight, twist for camera, etc. I received the JBL speaker Mod with the phone as a bonus from Best Buy and I really like the Mods feature and plan to buy the projector Mod in the future. It truly is just as easy as snap and go. Music doesn't stop playing and seamlessly changes to the speaker. Only thing to consider is that the Mods will only work when your phone is bare (no case). I find that I little annoying because I would not recommend owning this phone without a protective case. It is just too thin and so sleek it feels slippery to fall out of your hands. Overall, this is a great phone that I am very happy with and all the features it offers. Fun to show off to friends and co-workers!

I was using the galaxy s7 edge, which I really liked, but I was intrigued by the moto mods and I was also interested in trying out more of a stock Android experience. I am absolutely blown away by the smoothness and quickness of this phone. I also purchased the incipio off grid power pack and I got the JBL speaker mod for free. The mods are super nice and very easy to swap. I had originally preordered the force edition of this phone, but I ended up going with the regular z because of the thinness (I plan on using mods and so the thinness helps keep the overall size thin). My biggest concern with going with the z was the battery, but the battery seems to be doing quite well actually, and with the incipio power pack its more than enough! Anyways, I just wanted to let you all know that this is the most amazing phone I have ever owned, and I have owned a lot.
