I have had the Moto Z2 Force since launch and have found the phone to be pretty good- not great, but pretty good. Battery life is surprisingly good. I previously had a Moto Z Droid and battery life does not seem significantly reduced, comparatively. I am a pretty heavy user and generally average 4-5 hours of SOT with both phones. Also notable is the battery drain over night is nearly non-existent.
The camera is a completely different story. The new camera is utter garbage in anything but excellent light. Evening lighting in a living room results in grainy photos no matter how hard you try. HDR is a waste of time because it requires such a slow shutter that pictures are always blurred. I have minimal video experience, but it also seems lower quality than the original Z Force.
The phone looks and feels phenomenal in person and I actually appreciate the reduced weight. I actually don't use a style she'll most of the time because it feels so great already. I do use a bumper case just in case I drop it- I don't want scratches on the metal or screen. Speaking of, I prefer to use Armor Suit screen protectors for the Moto Z line due to it's flexibility for the plastic screen.
The last thing I want to mention is that the New Z2 Force should realistically be compared to the non-Force line last year considering it's size and camera setup. The Force last year was a Droid- meaning Verizon had a hand in the final specs. I do think Motorola failed with their pricing of the new Z2 Force, but the actual phone is far more similar to the Z than the Z Force Droid.
