Earlier this week, we reported that Motorola is
about to launch the Moto One Macro which will make its global debut in India.
Going by a fresh leak, the company has yet another high-end smartphone in the
pipeline, however, this device is made while keeping the Latin American markets
in mind.
According to the source, the upcoming handset from
Motorola will carry the Moto Z4 Force branding but that claim is hard to digest
due to multiple reasons. After the launch of the standard Moto Z4, a Twitter user posted a
question on the company’s Twitter account to enquire about the launch details
of its ‘Force’ variant. To which he received a reply that the company will not
launch any other Moto Z devices this year.
Besides, as observed with prior ‘Force’ edition
smartphones from the company, none of them was Android One certified or had a
Glass back which will read about later in this article. Moreover, this device
lacks support for Moto Mods that has been a staple to the ‘Z’ lineup of
smartphones.
Whether the claims about the name of this smartphone
are correct of not, we will learn in the future. For now, let’s consider it
true as the tipster owns a functioning unit of the smartphone. Moving forward,
let’s discuss its design and specifications.
Right of the bat, the alleged Moto Z4 Force will be
the first smartphone from the company to have a pop-up selfie camera. Due to
this feature, the handset is able to achieve a high screen-to-body ratio which
will provide for an immersive experience while playing games or watching
videos.
The rear of the smartphone seems to be made out of
glass which houses a vertically aligned camera module, company branding,
Android One logo and its key highlighting feature which is an LED ring
surrounded fingerprint scanner. Talking more about the LED ring, it is assumed
to double up as a notification light, hence, it might be able to change colours
as well. Except for the placement of the fingerprint sensor, the alleged Moto
Z4 Force looks reminiscent of the Vivo V15 Pro which was launched in Q1 of this
year.
According to the source, the handset packs the
following specifications:
- Chipset: Snapdragon 855, Octa-Core CPU, Adreno 640 GPU
- RAM + ROM: 8 GB + 128 GB
- Rear Camera: 48 MP + 13 MP
- Battery: 3,230 mAh, 27 W fast charging
As previously mentioned, it is hard to digest that
this Motorola device will be called the Moto Z4 Force. Having said that, we
will have to wait patiently until a company official reveals more details about
the handset.
