Lenovo Moto Z Play special features
What makes the Moto Z Play really special and unique are its modules. These are responsible for expanding what the device is capable of and I had the opportunity to try a few of them out.
Moto Mod: Insta Share Projector
It is impossible to look at the Moto Z Play projector module without thinking of the old Galaxy Beam. Back in 2012, this Samsung device came with a small embedded multimedia projector, and it was not a success. This Moto Mod operates the same way: it allows whatever is on the screen to be projected onto a flat surface with a resolution of WVGA 854x480 pixels (408 ppi).
When connected to the device, you can adjust the image to any surface, as well as the brightness of the screen and notification settings, which can be silenced during mirroring. This feature is especially important for those who might work conventions and, of course, for those lovers of holiday slideshows with a modern twist.
The projector comes with a 1,100-mAh battery for extra power, and what really caught my attention is the extent to which this module in particular overheats. The Moto Z Play and the Insta Share Projector are almost impossible to hold when connected. However, it can be used without interruption, and the accessory has a built-in fan for cooling, just like in a PC.
Moto Mod: JBL SoundBoost
Moto Mod JBL offers the chance to amplify the volume of Moto Z Play speaker and turn the mono audio into stereo. The system always notifies the user when the module is connected to the device through a vibration and an audible alert.
In addition, the JBL SoundBoost has audio of 80 dB SPL @ 0.5 m, frequency response from 200 Hz to 20 kHz, and packs enough power for 10 hours of use. The gadget is perfect for use at home, for moments of celebration or a dinner among friends. The ease of use this module offers makes it preferable in many ways to plugging in a tablet or smartphone to a separate audio system.
Moto Mod: Hasselblad True Zoom
When Lenovo introduced the Moto Mods, many were surprised at the absence of a camera module. However, all fears were stylishly quelled during IFA 2016, when the company announced a partnership with Hasselblad.
Hasselblad is one of the world's leading manufacturers of cameras and photographic equipment. The company is responsible for, among many things, recording the arrival of man on the moon and the famous photograph on the cover of The Beatles’ Abbey Road album.
This module is captivating, even though the one I tried was still being worked on. The module has a Xenon flash, 10x optical zoom, RAW format support, a physical shutter and automatic backup. In other words, this module is better than many dedicated cameras out there.
The suggested price of this little beauty is $300.
