Motorola, a subsidiary of Lenovo, announced the launch of two new devices on Monday the 4th of August in Berlin at the world renowned 2017 IFA showcase. The Moto x4 was revealed in a worldwide premiere of the device while the Moto z2 Force Edition was released to the Europe, Middle East and African markets.
According to the company, the new fourth generation Moto x offers a uniquely intuitive user experience, with smarter software, the latest camera technology, and a beautiful design.

The new Moto x has incorporated new software which according to the company aims to provide users with a uniquely intuitive, smarter, and easier to use device. The Moto x4 features all the latest Moto Experiences, coupled with all-new software features.

A smarter camera
Moto x4 features a smarter camera with the new Landmark Detection feature, which offers new uses, from scanning a business card to animating selfies with Face Filters.
The device has dual 12MP and 8MP rear cameras, and advanced software with dual Autofocus Pixel technology. It also has a 16MP front-facing camera, with an adaptive low light mode and new Panoramic Selfie feature, which provides a wider background for taking selfies.
Powerful, protected, performance
The moto x4 has a 3,000 mAh battery and is protected by IP68-rated water resistant design - offering protection from accidental spills, splashes, and even puddles - and a 3D rear contoured design, anodized aluminium frame and Corning Gorilla Glass that protects the front and back from scratches, making for a strong and beautiful device.
New and intuitive experiences
The device is integrated with Amazon's Alexa allowing for a new hands-free experience. It also features the Moto Key - which allows users to access their favourite password-secured websites on their phone or laptop with a simple touch of their finger, while strong encryption ensures data stays protected.

Moto z2 Force Edition: Strength and performance
The phone is equipped with an all-day battery and a new TurboPower charging function which adds 8 hours of power in just minutes of charging.
The device also has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 Mobile Platform which features high-end performance, instant responsiveness, and the fastest possible data speeds, which according to the company, allows users to download large files and apps in no time, or stream music and videos effortlessly.
Professional shots made easy
The dual 12MP cameras, one monochrome and one colour, work together to capture photos which also allow users to add a blur effect to the background or foreground and capture true depth of field.
Just like Moto z2 Play, the Moto z2 Force Edition features the latest Moto Experiences including night display and instant queries in Moto Voice and the front fingerprint reader. And because this new Moto z is also compatible with Moto Mods, users can control their mobile experience – instantly transforming into a 360° camera, gaming console, powerful stereo speaker, video projector, battery powerhouse and more.
Moto 360 Camera
The new 360 Camera Moto Mod is available on any Moto z device and turns it into a 360-degree camera that captures everything. With the click of a button, users can record interactive 360-degree 4k video featuring immersive 3D audio that will follow the direction you’re viewing.
Advanced editing software allows users to adjust content to fit their unique needs, and once they’re ready to be viewed, photos and videos can be easily shared with friends and on social media right from the Google Photos app.
