I'm too late to be helpful, but I can confirm this works with UConnect 8.4 on a 2016 Ram 1500 truck.

That's quite helpful, thanks! I do have my eye on a Pixel 2 XL as the likely best fit for me.. will see if the price drops down the road and the radios perform well. The HTC U11+ would be great as well if it makes it to the US. Also, I forgot to put the Essential Phone in my first list...

I agree the Pixel 2 XL's screen is fine, and that the Z Force's is nothing special. I'm more worried about radio quality with the Pixel 2 XL. I had to get rid of a Nexus 6P which was otherwise a great phone because wifi and Bluetooth would not stay connected consistently. This was...

The Z Force in general is not a great choice for resale value.. had to give that up when I bought it, so I'm ok not worrying about that for now.. just like to pick something that works with that going forward. You are of course right that now is better than later though. I'm just not sure I...

I'm a Z force owner. Like a lot of you I'm sure, I've been watching the fall phone releases pretty closely. It's tempting to change, especially since I moved a couple of years ago to buying phones outright and reselling them to make it easier to change when I wanted to. I want a large...

Perhaps this has already been discussed, but it is the first time in a while I've seen the leather back in stock and first time somewhere other than the moto website...

I'm using only a style shell and a tempered glass screen protector.. since the back is replaceable, that seems like enough. If I found a bumper case I liked I might use it.. but I like the style shells too much to cover them up.

I've been slow to respond, but wanted thank everyone for their input. I avoided the rose gold and got the lunar gray/black, which I like a lot. The crimson back looks really nice with it, a darker red. I like the included wood back a lot as well, FWIW. Having the option to switch is nice, I...

I'm coming from a Nexus 6P, which was a great phone until Nougat came along. I expect the Z Force's camera will be a little worse in low light but faster (the 6P is notoriously slow), though not as fast as the Pixel. I can live with that. I've got to put the bluetooth connectivity issues...

YayTech - which bumper case are you using? I have been looking for a clear one but hadn't found a one yet (meaning a bumper-only, no back - something that would work well with a style shell but provide protection for the sides/corners and raise the screen up a bit if laid face down)

Thanks for the help Red-Oak and Clocks.. I ordered one of those backs. Combined with the black / lunar grey, sounds like a good combo. Still disappointed there isn't a black and true gold.. that would be a color combo not found elsewhere that would look good. White front doesn't interested...

Almost every single other reviewer has commented on how snappy the Pixels are - noticeably more performant in every day use. I put more stock in that type of input than I do benchmarks. They don't capture stutter/lag in every day use well, which, for me, has a much bigger impact on how I use...

I'm planning to order a Z Force today - at $150 off this phone seems like a great deal. It's hard to pick a color from the website, and the store I visited only had the black/lunar gray model and no style shells to look at. Anyone get the red style shell? What color red is it - bright red...

Connert - Thanks a ton for this post - very helpful. I'm trying to make this same decision right now without actually being able to use either phone other than in-store demos. What were your thoughts on the quality of the radios - cellular? wifi? Call quality? My experience with motorola...

Until recently, I'd been pretty happy with my GPad. I also had a Droid Maxx as a phone and preferred the closer to stock Android, but the GPad worked well enough - good size and great screen. Then I got a Nexus 6p. I found out Marshmallow is amazing.. especially Doze, which would mean my...
