We’ve been saying that the Motorola Moto Z could be the the next RAZR smartphone. It’s just a speculation but looks like it won’t be a flip phone but rather just another brick device but with special back covers according to a recent leak. hellomotoHK has shared some photos of a set of replaceable back covers that look very Motorola. We don’t have much details about these covers but they obviously are made with different materials.
We also mentioned the MotoMod a couple of weeks ago and we learned that it could be another modular phone that could very well rival the LG G5. Modular devices are still new so there is still a lot more room for improvement. The MotoMod mention was made by hellomotoHK and showed off this set of special covers.
There is a possibility that each cover is for every new MotoMod smartphone since six types were mentioned earlier: Theater Mod, Power Mod, Stereo Mod, Adventure Mod, and Style Mod. Each mod would focus on one specialty–media playback, extra battery, music playback, for outdoor adventures, and pro-camera mode.
We only have images of the back covers but we’re not sure how they will function or how attaching them to a base phone would enable the features. The Style Mod back covers seem to be removable and replaceable so they could be easily snapped on.
Our source here is “Motclub”. It seems like a secret group or blog that is interested in all things Motorola (or they could be Motorola insiders). Each cover shows a camera module, the Motorola logo, and the full back panel. Each one also features different materials. We can say there is cork, metal, metal, rubber, and wood looking at the photos.
Nothing is certain yet but we’d like to believe these are special back covers that add several features and not just improve the aesthetics and design of the upcoming Motorola. We’ll see.
