Motorola just launched a 360-degree camera mod for Moto Z devices

Lenovo-owned Motorola has quietly introduced a new Moto Mod for its modular smartphones.

It unveiled a 360-degree camera mod for Moto Z devices while at an event in Ghana, West Africa. Called the Moto 360 Camera mod, it features two camera lenses. The actual camera attachment sits on top of a plastic back plate, which attaches to a Moto Z phone just like any other Moto Mod. The JBL SoundBoost speaker, for instance, attaches to the rear of the Moto Z via a 16-pin connector.

The camera mod’s two lenses, which are positioned on both sides, can capture 360-degree images of its surroundings. We don’t know any other specifications or details, including a price or release date. We only know that it was unveiled thanks to a report from TechDroider, the video below posted by GhanaWeb TV, and the above press render posted by noted leaker Evan Blass.

It’s unclear if this is a Ghana-exclusive product, but if so, that would be really odd. Why Ghana? We’ll keep you posted as we learn more. Meanwhile, check out Pocket-lint’s guide on all existing Moto Mods.
