“The Z3 comes as the latest flagship from the brand with top-of-the-line specs”

Motorola had teased a product launch event to be held on August 2nd at its headquarters in Chicago. The brand was speculated to launch its flagship the Moto Z3 at the event along with its first wave of Android One smartphones, the Motorola One and Motorola One Power. As expected, the brand has taken covers off the new flagship today. Unfortunately, the Android One smartphones were missing from the show.

The Motorola Moto Z3 comes with a 6-inch OLED display panel with an aspect ratio of 18:9 and a resolution of 2,160 x 1,080 pixels. The performance department is handled by the latest-and-greatest Snapdragon 835 chipset. The processor is further backed by 4GB RAM and 64GB storage. The smartphone flaunts a glass-sandwich design and features a side-mounted fingerprint scanner for security. Further, just like its predecessors, the phone comes with a 16-pin magnetic connector on the back to support Moto Mods. Speaking of Moto Mods, Motorola has also announced a 5G Moto Mod in partnership with Qualcomm, which makes Moto Z3 the first 5G upgradable smartphone in the world. The Moto Mod comes with an integrated 2,000mAh battery and Snapdragon X50 modem.

In the imaging department, the flagship comes with a pair of 12-megapixel shooters on the back, with the secondary camera being a depth sensor/telephoto lens. For selfies and video calling, the smartphone comes with an 8-megapixel snapper on the front. In terms of the software, the Moto Z3 boots near stock Android 8.1 Oreo out-of-the-box with Moto enhancements. A 3,000mAh battery with support for Motorola’s TurboPower fast charging technology completes the spec sheet. In terms of connectivity, you get WiFi, Bluetooth 5.0, NFC, GPS and a USB Type-C port.

Motorola is offering the Moto Z3 in black and it will retail for $480 (~Rs 33,000) in the US through Verizon for time being. The 5G Mod will be launched in early 2019 and the pricing of the same has not been revealed by the brand at the moment. However, there’s no word on the Indian pricing and availability of the handset at this point.
