The "Force" model indicates Shattershield
When asked via Twitter if there were plans for a Moto Z4 Force at some point later this year, the Lenovo-owned company revealed that it “will not be announcing additional Moto Z devices this year.” As a result, there will be no Moto Z4 Force.

Good points. IMHO, the technology has advanced to the point that the differences are negligible between good midrange phones & the flagships. Top tier will have more perks of course but it's a bit dubious whether they merit the price or not.True. But if they can't sell in that area, why even bother? Apple has reported declining sales, Samsung reported less than expected sales last year, Google reported less than expected sales of the Pixel 3, etc. I think consumers have spoken....they (me included) don't want phones pushing $1000 and above. As soon as you buy that $1000 phone a new one from some other manufacturer is out the next month with something newer, higher spec "numbers" that don't really mean much, etc.

Case in point, my wife destroyed her iPhone 6 Plus in virtually new condition by leaving it out in a rainstorm while out of town. I wasn't about to pony up for another iPhone so I bought her a new Moto G7 & had it tweaked out for her when she returned home. After learning the Android system a few days she loves it & says she'd never go back. FWIW, this is someone who has used iPhones since there have been iPhones. She has been pleasantly surprised how good a $300 Moto performs.
Side Note: The thing that seems to perplex her about Android is the choices, so many different ways to do the same thing. She's been locked down so long the freedom to choose is confusing.
Someone that "gets it" and understands their current market plan. Nice!This is where Moto really shines. They are excellent at producing a quality phone for $300 or less. It's also where they are raking in money these days. Moto has become a heavy hitter in Latin America and India.
I'm in. Though $499 could be seen as a tad-bit overpriced, what phone isn't? Has a lot of features for the money and any phones these days in this price range is a good thing. I'll be picking mine up from Best Buy tomorrow.
