Flagship Moto Z devices to launch today at Lenovo Tech World

Lenovo will throw open the doors of Lenovo Tech World – its annual technology showcase – today, and top of the billing will be new devices from Motorola that promise to bring a big change.

Teasing its new smartphones, Lenovo invited us to “watch Moto transform mobile in a snap”.

With the Moto G announced in late May, it’s the turn of the Moto X replacement, believed to be called the Moto Z. As with the last generation of Moto X handsets, we’re expecting two new devices, the Moto Z Style and the Moto Z Play, with slightly different price points and configurations.

However, returning to the “snap”, Lenovo’s Moto innovation looks to be coming in the form of modular accessories, called MotoMods. The idea is you’ll be able to attach a more advanced camera or speakers, for a seamlessly integrated experience.

With names like JBL and Hasselblad said to be involved, that could be an exciting proposition, presenting a challenge to the LG G5, which launched with modular accessories in March 2016.

Aside from launching the Moto Z, Lenovo will also be announcing the first Project Tango smartphone. This work with Google’s Project Tango a system designed to accurately scan 3D spaces, allowing you to augment reality in a simple way.

Full details of Lenovo’s new tech will be revealed later today.
