A:AnswerThe major differences are the camera, battery and screen material.
The camera on the Z Force is 21 MP as opposed to 13 MP on the regular Z. The camera might have better stabilization and focus features as well but not 100% sure.
The battery on the Z Force is 3500mah as opposed to 2600mah in the regular Z (significant upgrade in the Z Force).
Then theirs the screen. The regular Z has some version of Gorilla glass where as the Z Force has shattersheild technology which is supposed to not shatter when dropped. I've seen a video where it survived 4 drops on to concrete without the screen shattering. The internal phone mechanisms may stop working but the screen won't shatter.
A:AnswerI came from a Droid Maxx if that helps but the Moto Z Force has dimmer low and brighter high than that phone does.
I have used it outside fairly often without the screen as bright as it would go and I can see it clearly.
A:AnswerI have used the wifi call setting a few times while at work. The lower level of our office has almost no coverage and I was dropping calls. I switched over to wifi and it never had a problem the entire week I was in that area.
A:AnswerYes it is different. Cell companies are leading people to the payment option for many reasons. In your case it would cost you more. If you did a payment option it would be your 26 monthly phone payment ( on the lower end price) and say you had the lowest data plan so another 35 and then you have line fee which would be 20. So it would be 26+35+20 which =81 dollars. This is the base plan for a payment option.
A contract would cost you the 35 data plan and 40 for line service. So the cost would be 35+40 which = 75 dollars a month. Now a contract if you add it up would cost you 1800 for 2 years while a payment option will cost you 1944 for 2 years. But then you have fees taxes ect. in the end a contract is cheaper by about 200 bucks. Now most carriers offer to pay your cancellation fee if you switch over. Also if your grandfathered into a good plan keep it and pay the monthly payments. If you are new to verizon me myself I would say get the contract. Its cheaper and if you hate the phone or service you can always get a new one on the payment plan ( YES you can get a different phone while in a contract).Also you would be able to sell that MotoZ if you wanted to.
In all my conclusion is if you do not have verizon get a contract. If you already do and have a grandfathered good plan make the payments( no phones worth losing that great monthly plan).
A:AnswerI would not buy without checking the frequencies in your country. here the ones for the moto z
CDMA (850, 1900 MHz)
GSM / GPRS / EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
UMTS / HSPA+ (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz)
4G LTE (B2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 13)
A:AnswerThe body only. But the camera hump isn't that bad especially when. Used with a style shell which you get one free in the Moto packaging with the phone. Still a very slim phone
A:AnswerI believe the play is the lower end model and the force is top of the line with more features, better camera and faster processor. I always check youtube or cnet to review each model. I went with the force and got it for the same price as the play.
A:AnswerPut it on the payment plan if your a current verizon customer, if you do the contract the smartphone line access is 40 per month, and you have an early term fee if you decide to upgrade before the contract is up. if you want to upgrade early on the device payment you just pay the balance off. The special price BB is offering right now with the free mod cant be beat. Verizon is no where near as close to this promo BB has!
A:AnswerTechnically it is unlocked (courtesy a previous agreement that Verizon had with the FCC). However, its hardware only capable of working with Verizons CDMA band in the US so effectively it is "locked" to Verizon. If however you use it abroad, It will work when you slip in a locally bought and activated SIM. I actually used my old Droid Maxx abroad even though I was under contract with Verizon at the time.
A:AnswerHi Maw01, thanks for your interest. I believe it will not affect your plan however, it would be best to reach out to your service provider to confirm. Regards - Erwin
A:AnswerDid you mean audio output? The Moto Z force Droid that I purchased came with an adapter for headphones, etc. that plugs into the charger plug in.
