I had to switch to a different camera app bc the update broke the app. For some reason if I tapped anywhere in the camera interface (not including the function wheel when you swipe left), it would snap a picture. If I tapped on the video button or the camera direction switcher, it would snap a...

Well taken. However I just have to debunk your point about the phone being gimped in order to sell the mods. While the projector is totally ludicrous tbh, no phone will ever have speakers remotely close to the NHL sound boost speaker available for the phone. There are Bluetooth speakers better...

Hilarious.

@benjaminh They don't need to. The Note 7 has the exact same processor setup as the S7, which is hands-down the slowest SD820 phone out there, even slower in most normal tasks than both my Nexus 6P or Droid Turbo 2.

I understand your concern. While the Z droid has a solid front-facing speaker, it is a bit behind the Droid Turbo 2, its predecessor, in audio quality, due to the fact that it is quieter by a bit and lacks bass compared to the Turbo 2, although mids and treble are very good on the Z's speaker...

•SPEAKER TEST• OK, so I went back to the Verizon store to resolve service issues I was having with my droid turbo 2; meanwhile, while I waited for them to get to me, I did an audio test between the HTC 10, my Turbo 2, the Moto Z, and the Samsung Galaxy Note 7. I have created a rating scale...

If the phone was on trickle charge at 80% or 100% depending on whether efficiency mode is enabled, then the battery would discharge because the input of charge would be less than the output. The phone cannot use its own battery if it is supposed to stay at a certain percent while the mod is on.

W/battery mod the Z feels AMAZING in hand, almost to Moto X 2014 levels of good, with the added thickness and curve, and feels like it has a good weight, while not too heavy. I don't know exactly how much weight it adds to the phone. The force is definitely a more girth phone than the Z, and...

Neither have dual front speakers. The Z has a front speaker, and the 10 has a front speaker (tweeter) and a large bottom speaker (woofer). Both have fingerprint scanners at the bottom; the 10 has more top bezel, the Z has more bottom bezel, and the 10 has slightly more side bezel, because it's a...

In hand, the chin felt as big as my turbo 2... because it's exactly the same size. It is large, and about as big as that of an iPhone, but at least the other bezels are small. The Z actually was nice to hold because of how light and thin it is, even if the edges are a wee bit sharp. Unless this...

It depends on battery level. If you turn on efficiency mode and your phone is less than 80%, the mod will charge the phone to 80% and the phone stays there by simply using the mod as it's power source until it drains. If your phone is 80-99%, the phone will charge to 100% and the phone stays...

I said that a phone using a standard battery case that simply charges the phone and never stops will have a faster degrading battery than this Moto Z.

It's Veteater, not Verteater, and the mod can act as both an external battery/the phone has an inclusive 4,820mAh battery or as a charging source. Kellex from Droid life apparently doesn't understand that. What a downer of a tech blogger. The battery won't wear out any faster than it normally...

Dont get too excited no, Bankz, the phone will receive security upadtes, but not monthly. Other than samsung, blackberry, and google themselves, nobody does security patches monthly. At least motorola indirectly explained why the security updates will be bundled into larger updates. While I...

Bankz, the mod can do either. If you attach the mod to the phone if the phone is not at 100%, the mod will recharge the existing battery, and like some chargers, will allow the phone to use the charger as its power source instead of the battery. So, if you use the mod on the phone like it is a...
