Motorola Moto Z Play and moto Z Style launch in 9th June event


Last week, we came across a rumor that Lenovo-owned Motorola may retire the Moto X line and replace it with the new Moto Z-series. Some days ago Motorola launched New Moto G4 and Moto G4 Plus in India. Now, Motorola has filed for ‘Moto Z’ trademark in the US, which more or less, confirms the rumors about the change in branding for its upcoming smartphones. The note on trademark filing reveals that it will be used for mobile phones, smartphones and accessories, which could be adapters and battery chargers.

From what we’ve come across so far, the company has been working on two Moto Z models – the Moto Z Style and Moto Z Play, which is set to follow the same naming scheme as the existing Moto X series. In a leaked invite posted by HelloMotoHK and spotted by The Verge, the company is all set to announce these smartphones at Lenovo’s upcoming Tech World conference on June 9.

We have already come across leaked photos of the Moto Z smartphone, which shows off the metal unibody design, a circular camera module, laser auto-focus and LED flash setup at the back. The Moto Z Style is expected to be the higher-end version sporting a 5.5-inch QHD display and powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 820 SoC, whereas the Moto Z Play is likely to be a less powerful variant sporting a 5.5-inch full HD display and powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 620 chipset.

The leaked photos also pointed to a mysterious connector at the back, which hints that the smartphone may include some modular functionality. These rumored modular parts are likely to be called Moto Mods. The publication has also listed some of these mods that include – Pro camera Mod, Adventure Mod, Theater Mod, Power Mod, Style Mod and Stereo Mod.

Along with the Moto Z line up of smartphones, the company may also reintroduce the Moto Razr, which the company has already teased in a video last week. While there is currently no word on the pricing and availability, more details are expected to pour in as the launch draws closer.
