Moto Mods
Moto Mods aim to offer some sort of modularity to Motorola smartphones. They look like external cases which interface with the phone through connectors present at the back panel. Some popular mods launched alongside Moto Z and Moto Z Play were JBL SoundBoost Speaker, Mophie Juice Pack, and Hasselblad True Zoom Camera Mod.
Both Moto Z and Moto Z Play support Moto Mods. The feature was left out in Moto M to keep its cost down. There is no official word on whether or not these Mods will be launched alongside the phones in Pakistan.
Availability
The phones will be launched in Pakistan in February 2017. No price of these devices is specified at the moment. We will update you with more information when the tentative price of these mobiles will be officially announced.
