Moto Z2 Force shown in leaked renders and video wont be exclusive to Verizon

The original Moto Z Force from last year was exclusive to Verizon, but its successor wont be. Thats according to famed leakster Evan Blass, a.k.a @evleaks. He says the high-end smartphone will also be sold by T-Mobile, for example. This would be a welcome change in Motorolas US strategy, and should help it sell more units. Whats more, Sprint is also said to receive at least one high-end Moto-branded phone in 2017.

We already know that theres going to be a Moto Z2 this year too, and that will obviously serve as the successor to the Moto Z. The Z2 Force should pair top of the line specs with better durability than the non-Force model. You can see what the Z2 Force will allegedly look like by glancing at the renders you can see below. Theres also a video portraying the handset in 360 degrees.

As youd expect, the design hasnt changed much from the Z Force, and thats not surprising becau se Motorola promised that already released Moto Mods will be compatible with future smartphones. To ensure that happens, the overall size of the phones has to remain the same, along with the design. So the big camera hump is in, along with the pogo pins that are integral to the Moto Mod experience.

Heres whats new compared to last years model. A dual camera setup on the back, and also a thin antenna band that goes around the entire device. This should enable good connectivity. Oh, and the 3.5mm headset jack is back. Theres a dual-LED flash for the selfie camera now too, and the fingerprint scanner has been redesigned. A Lenovo logo will adorn the lower part of the right edge of the phone, for better or worse. Thats not included in these renders, but apparently it will make its way to the final product.

The Z2 Force will be powered by Qualcomms Snapdragon 835 chipset, the go-to solution for top of the line Android devices in 2017. It will be thinner than its predecessor at 6mm (8.5mm with the camera bump). The Moto Z Force was 7mm thick. Its still unclear what this means for the Z2 Forces battery capacity.
