Switched from Note 7

Hopefully they'll fix it in an update since an update made it worse.

Not very loud. Doesn't burst into flames, though, so that's a plus.

Lol poor Samsung. My Moto Z did get pretty warm/hot yesterday and that was just updating a few apps. I'm not sure if I'm going to keep the Moto Z.

These are the things I like about the Moto Z :

Light weight
Excellent build quality
Almost zero lag because it's close to stock Android
Front facing speaker


Things I don't like:

Phone is too thin making it uncomfortable to hold. The back mod cover that came with the phone does help. I wish the bumper that came with the phone had some grip because it's very slippery. Because of the mods, I can't find a nice case for the Moto Z. I usually buy Spigen or Ringke but I can't find any.
Battery life is very good but 2600mah is not enough. The battery mod makes the phone too heavy.I wish the Z Force wasn't exclusive to Verizon. That phone would've been perfect
UI is a bit too stock for me. There's not a lot of features compared to the One Plus 3. I know Motorola wanted to make the Moto Z zippy and lag free which is refreshing to have because I have been using Samsung phones for several years now and the lag on TW does annoy me at times.
But Samsung has improved a lot over the years which is why I still buy their phones.

Price is too high. Moto Z costs $900 + taxes in Canada. I know other flagships costs a bit more, but they're not selling mods. I know I don't have to buy a mod but I need longer battery life and the mods are pretty cool. A lot better than what LG did.

Anyways, sorry for the long post and going off topic from the Note 7.

Do you guys think it's worth spending $900 + taxes on the Moto Z? I'm using the phone on my second line. My main phone will still be my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge.

Thanks in advanced for your help.

As a second phone to the Galaxy S7 edge, maybe the Moto Z Play is a better pick.

That's a great suggestion. It costs $650 so it's not too bad. Much larger battery capacity.
Thanks for your help.

I'd recommend a TPU Tech 21 case. So easy to install and remove for when you wanna put moto mods on, looks good, and VERY grippy.

I used to buy Tech 21 cases. The best ones they made from my experience is for the iPhone 5. It was very grippy and the volume and power buttons were very responsive. I bought one for my Samsung S4 and S5 and the case was slippery and the volume & power buttons were hard to press. So I stopped buying them and have been buying Spigen or Ringke cases.
