  Test: Motorola Moto Z2 Force (Video)

Although we did not expect it, the top model of Motorola came to us. It is the Moto Z2 Force device, arrived after a long wait, since it was presented last autumn at the IFA fair in Berlin. Why such a long trip? In any case, there is a somewhat unusual test in front of you, even in its video output. We believe you will like it.

The situation with the Moto Z2 Force on the phone was quite strange at first, and our dilemmas and confusion were solved later. The company has decided to focus on sales in the United States, Brazil and China, while Europe has remained on the other. This, unfortunately, meant that this very good phone would not find its way to the customers. At least not so fast.

Finally, after a long wait, we have the opportunity to test the phone. However, that does not mean that it will be widely available. This will certainly not be with the operator, and if it appears in the retail business, it will have a price of about 50 thousand dinars. During the test, we will see if this price is competitive and why, but we are really sorry that the phone did not arrive on our market in the autumn of the previous year. In the end, it would act much more bitterly than today … but what is there.

In return, we have solved We will give you specific video content. You wanted a crash test? We have listened to you several times, but we have never been able to answer your desire because the models that come to us are usually samples of local offices or operators that can not be damaged , at least intentionally. This time, Motorola decided to meet in a specific way and approve to submit the phone to check the physical endurance, which we did. We thank the company for hearing about it, and we recommend that you watch our video on this topic. We continue to give an answer to the question of what is in practice the Moto Z2 Force


Design

The camera arrived in a complete package that is aesthetic. The most important is to attach the USB-C cable, the turbocharger charger and the USB-C adapter on a 3.5mm cable. Yes, it means that there are no 3.5mm connectors on the phone. Finally, there is also a magnetized back, which you can use as well as any other addition to the Moto Z product family. We remind you that this is a phone that can use Moto modes that are guaranteed three generations of support – and that's just another.

This back is specific to two bases. First of all, they have a textured material that looks like a carpet or similar solid material. Therefore, it changes the feeling in the hands of this phone. In addition, it affects the visual sense, keeping in mind that the phone is unrealistically thin. With 6.1 millimeters of thickness, we believe that Motorola Z2 Force is the thinnest phone we have ever tested. With his back added, he always looks extremely striking and elegant in this regard. But, this magnetic blade is able to remove one of the features that Motorola has already used us – the back of the rear camera module rotating to the rear.

You must keep in mind several things. First of all, it is a traditional 16: 9 side screen phone, probably one of the last 18: 9 screens (and the like) that tend to cover as much as Space as possible from one edge to the other. Therefore, it is in a sense and one of the last assets in the upper class of the phone. In an elegant way, the phone does not lack anything. The side edges are actually very thin, which makes them very modern, while the edges above the top and bottom edges of the screen are a little larger, because of the need to implement several sensors and accessories.

We have a big speaker above the screen, but also a front camera with a dual dual tone LED flash! Under the screen, we have a fingerprint scanner, which can be used for navigation. The screen itself is covered with an unbreakable material, which is a Motorolina marker that suggests a high degree of resistance to mechanical impacts and screen breakage, and it must be said that 39, there is also a certificate of resistance to the spray fluid. What is it really about? Instead of using Gorilla Glass or a similar protective glass, Motorola decided to use a screen made of a plastic substrate. Thus, we get a screen that can not be broken by a conventional mode, which is a real monster for the owners of the top model of the current phones. However, on the other hand, this material is also criticized because it is allegedly poorly scratch resistant. Once again, take a look at our video and find out what's going on in this issue …

From all sides, the phone seems to be protected. The openings are minimal and only the bottom side of the USB-C port. On the floor we have a SIM slot, which is Dual SIM type, and it also has a microSD memory card slot. Users can look forward to the fact that it has a special location, so there is no hybrid solution that would allow the user to choose where he wants to use another SIM card or expand the memory. This is very useful, you will see it soon in the hardware section and why. On the right side are the basic controls, with the ignition key checked as opposed to the audio keyboards.

Another detail that we must mention is the camera module, but this time in the designer sense. With two cameras and a dual LED flash, it sounds like a kind of smiling face in the back and on the phone, once you notice this detail, it's almost a humorous and playful character. We do not know if you share our opinion, but we really love it.

The overall impression on this phone is extremely advantageous from the point of view of design and design. The 7000 aluminum series is used, which is super durable to all mechanical impacts. Motorola is probably the only brand that manages to make phones in the 16: 9 edition that we like the same as the new ones, while having its own style – its design direction with slightly rounded upper and lower edges, very slim case, excellent quality, and this applies in almost all categories, not to mention the Z2 Force, which is one of the best models of the offer.

Hardware and Performance

We come to another article that would work differently than we tested last fall. Great arrival this summer. Motorola has equipped its Snapdragon 835 chipset, then the latest "scream mode" and an excellent high-end solution. Make no mistake, it 's still an extremely fast chipset, and we fully understand that you ask us why anyone needs anything else. We are not saying that we would not agree with such a view, but now the competition is much clearer …

Snapdragon 835 comes with eight cores, operating up to 2.35 GHz. It combines four high-performance cores operating up to 2.35 GHz and energy-efficient cores operating up to 1.9 GHz. Indeed, if we observe objectively, almost no one could have realistic performance objections. The phone works extremely well, and it's also an excellent Adreno 540 GPU. In addition, the Snapdragon 835 is made in a 10-nanometer process and is generally economical for high-end chipsets.

Still, the inevitability is the fact that such a Moto Z2 Force has been easy with all the top models in the world. ;last year. But this year Galaxy S9 has arrived instead of Galaxy S8, P20 and P20 Pro instead of P10 and so on. When we expose synthetic tests, Z2 Force will lag behind – it will still be extremely fast. Maybe it's a good condition that is advertised in case the phone is still sold for 50 thousand dinars, and we would say that the difference with the supermodel is certainly not as much as the difference price or proximity. .jpg "title =" z2force_antutu_s.jpg "width =" 655 "height =" 281 “/>

The phone offers a somewhat strange combination of storage space and memory. Namely, it has 64 GB of storage space, but even 6 GB of memory! In practice, manufacturers usually opt for combinations of 4 + 64, 4 + 128 or 6 + 128. Motorola left this way. Honestly, we do not see any problem, especially because of this – remember that we just prepared you on the previous page – the slot is able to receive two SIM cards and a memory card. So you can increase the capacity up to 400 GB, and at your disposal you have a lot of RAM, which makes the system easy to drive, especially if we talk about the version of Android factory, which is virtually unchanged.

  z2force_geekbench_s.jpg "title =" z2force_geekbench_s.jpg "width =" 655 "height =" 280

In the attached photos, you can see the results that the phone reaches in popular benchmark programs. Overall, the performance is very good, we do not believe that anyone opts for Z2 Force will regret any problem

Software

First, it must be said that the phone is made in factory with the operating system Android 7.1 Nougat. However, at the very beginning, the Android 8.0 Oreo has been activated because a lot of time has passed since the initial release of this smartphone. And our recommendation is to move to a newer operating system – why not? In addition, this process is accompanied by two or three security applications, which is also a good thing.

The phone's performance is excellent and you will not feel anything in a moment. Motorola traditionally delivers a phone with an almost-factory Android, and the Moto UI has some improvements that we consider to be excellent. Before saying more about them, we are obliged to inform that it is not bloatware, but already standard options that you can without needing to leave, if you want.

In particular, we have several options. One of those we really like is the use of a fingerprint for navigation, where you can use the help of a single button to control the back, the house and your home. 39; other Android controls. In addition, there is the possibility of voice commands, as well as the use of many gestures or movements. In this way, you can rotate the hinge to activate the camera that was not active at that time, turn on the phone to reject the call or lift it to turn off the phone, shaking your phone for turn on the flash light. Some commands are inactive and you can disable them all from the appropriate application if you wish.

As we have already mentioned, the impression in the work is remarkable. Everything works smoothly, comfortably, without stasis, even when we simultaneously downloaded the system from the app, played, opened a hill of things in the background, tackled with a plethora of tabs with a YouTube video on break. If you get some sort of charge on the phone, let us know, and we would like to know how. Every honor to Motorolin engineers on optimization.

Another interesting article is the motorcycle display. This is a system that mimics the Always On feature of the Galaxy phone. Since the Z2 Force is an integrated OLED, the function makes a lot of sense. It informs the user of basic information about the time and date, received notifications, but also the percentage of battery charge, by displaying the percentage and circle that are shorter when the battery is unloaded and thus provides graphical information. authorized monitor and view

Motorcycle Mods
] With the mods or the Moto Mods, we have already had the opportunity to know each other in the past, but it's still one of the highlights of the phone. All modes have connectors adapted to those at the bottom of the Moto Z2 Force phone's background, and a metal surface that sits on the phone, without the plug-in being firmly attached on the phone, by the magnetic effect. In addition, the protrusion of the camera ensures that no modification occurs, since everyone is "surrounded" when it is positioned, so in that sense it also has its own clear function.

We have already shown and explained several times It is easy to use these modes. A slight movement is enough. Although the magnet is strong enough to hold the plug in place and when, for example, it becomes non-woven, and even with a little bit of stamina, there is no problem downloading the Extension from the smartphone. The connection is even simpler – the mod and the smartphone are getting closer and the magnet is doing his job, pulling them and connecting to a secure connection.

After the merge, you have absolutely nothing to do my mode has started – the device recognizes that the plugin is present, in the quick settings the command for the corresponding mode appears, and its use starts. For example: listen to music with YT and connect Moto Z to speaker mode – the sound is automatically transferred to the speaker, while the picture continues to scroll on the screen. In addition, if the mod has its own battery, the indicator of its charge level also appears in the status bar.

Moto Mods

At the very end, we remind you that a more detailed overview of the modes has already been done in the Motorola Moto Z test, and we leave you the link above so we do not repeat too much, with a warm recommendation for reading. We continue to congratulate Motorola for keeping the promise that their three generation phones will have support for mods. We must say that some mods are quite expensive, but Motorola certainly has the only successful modularity in its top line, although many have promised something similar – and have stayed on the promises.

Ekran

Moto Z2 Force has a very interesting screen. Namely, it's a standard 5.5-inch 16: 9 screen with a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels which is a P-OLED type. What is P-OLED? Basically, P is an abbreviation for plastic, so it's a suggestion that this OLED screen is made with a higher percentage of plastics. But that should not distract you or scare you. Plastics, for example, are needed if you want a flexible screen. For example, Galaxy S8 or S9 phone screen must also contain a certain percentage of the plastic itself to bypass the edges, only Motorola is more transparent in this regard than its rivals, shall we say.

Which is definitely a faulty display, the conclusion of many tests is that it has no special protection, and the screen is very vulnerable to light scratches, so this aspect must be taken into account. In addition, the screen is remarkable! We have already mentioned the Moto Display function, thanks to which the user is always informed of important notifications. The aspect ratio of the screen and, therefore, a slightly lower coverage will actually benefit users who do not accept the best new screens 18: 9, and we fully understand these aspirations. In fact, it's probably the best screen outside this circle.

  z2force_ekran_s.jpg "title =" z2force_ekran_s.jpg "width =" 655 "height =" 281

Let's say that the front cover by the screen is declared at 70, 4%, which n & # 39; 39: is not so small, since the screens 18: 9 are 75 to 76% up, depending on the model. The display is extremely light, the automatic light sensor works well. From the software options, you can further customize and customize the product, and the biggest effect in our opinion is the choice between Standard and Vibrant views. Therefore, we really have no objection to the features of this screen.

  z2force_igra1_s.jpg "width =" 655 "height =" 368

Sound

When the sound is in Motorola is firmly in touch with a speaker. Unlike most other manufacturers who place this speaker on the bottom of the phone, Motorola rings through the handset speaker, which is very loud, but also when it collects and subtracts – just one. Nothing of the stereo pleasure, but the sound is good enough. The phone does not support the 3.5mm connection, we underline it again.

  z2force_audio_s.jpg "width =" 655 "height =" 280


Battery

The battery has a capacity of 2730 mAh, which is not particularly impressive, d. more than many competitors have exceeded 3000 mAh even in the lower categories. But, Motorola would not be what it was when it did not have a few laps in the inning. In practice, it turns out that up to ten hours of work on the screen are perfectly achievable during the day, which Z2 Force places in a central segment when autonomy is involved

  z2force_baterija_s.jpg "title =" z2force_baterija_s.jpg "width =" 655 "height =" 281

Not great, not bad. It will definitely take the end of the day and the most demanding, less demanding users up to two days. It is certainly also supported by an unloaded operating system, as well as a naturally sterling OLED display. Of course, even a chipset that is quite capable of being economical adds value. Too bad the results are only average, but this small thickness of only 6.1 millimeters must be paid

Camera

The Z2 Force model claims the presence of two cameras in the module on the back of the phone. in the form of a smiling face – we can not resist, and we do not notice it yet. Two cameras are in the trend, so – why not? It is especially a kind of guarantee of superior quality, as well as a variety of options and additional options that you can activate through the presence of two cameras, like a black and white photo or a blur of some parts of the image.

Overall, the Motorola application is still present in its relatively standard edition, which we have always enjoyed with this time too. We consider it to be one of the easiest and easiest to use. Everything is in place, the HDR and flash are easily accessible from the main screen, just click on two to activate different Pro options if you want to fine tune the shooting settings in detail. We also mention Gesture Controls, where you can quickly call the camera with the proper motion, or switch between the front camera and the rear camera – believe by word, this helps in many situations.

  z2force_kamera_s.jpg "title =" z2force_kamera_s.jpg "width =" 655 "height =" 233

What do we have in practice? Two sensors, both of 12 megapixels, where one is colored and the other monochromatic. Usually, we usually have a high resolution monochrome sensor in high end phones, but … why? The dual dual LED flash is supported and the aperture openings of both cameras are f / 2.0. The new competitors have a standard of / 1.7 or even f / 1.6, even at the main color sensor, but as you can see in the attached photos, it's hard to bother you – at least until you get nocturnal pictures.

The pixel size of both sensors is 1.25 micrometer, phase detection and laser autofocus are supported, making the focus extremely fast. in this sense, a real pleasure. As long as the lighting conditions are good, the results provided by the camera are fantastic. The days we used it were very nice, with exceptionally bright suns that even managed to make us some kind of unwanted effect …

What we particularly like, c & # 39; is the efficiency of the HDR algorithm. Simply, it really helps to extract details from the darker parts of the image. The price that can be paid for this is to get a more clearly dedicated image, but in practice everything works fine and we can say that it is one of the best cameras available – in the range of price in which the phone must be positioned certainly the best and will have virtually no competition.

There is also a photo editor from which you can edit photos on the phone itself. QR and barcodes are also supported. As we said, you can record black and white photos, more than just decent quality. You can also change the focus of the photos manually, so skip to items that may not be in the foreground. Let's say, instead of the flower on one of the attached photos, the goal of the work is to focus on the surrounding grasslands and the like.

.ah, the traditional Motorola cell phone, our thinking is mainly due to software algorithms, because we often received lower scores in the night recording than the same or very similar cameras used in the phones from other manufacturers. You guess, it's similar this time. The noise is quite pronounced, especially on some photos. In due course, in practice, everything may not be as bad as on the attached samples. We noticed that in closed rooms with closer objects, the camera becomes much better than when you shoot at night outside. This is not surprising because then the flash works more efficiently, and the light is reflected from several sides and gives a better result. Therefore, Z2 Force presents a relatively correct solution for recording nighttime adventures as long as they are in the interior.

The front camera is also very good. This is a simple five-megapixel solution. But this simple solution is enriched with the Dual Tone LED Dual Flash, just like the rear camera. The number of details that the camera captures in the background is even a little surprising. There is also a facial enhancement option, which we advise you, as always, to pay attention to the extent to which you use it. The opening is f / 2.2.

[19459737] [19459749] [19659339] Finally, we come to the video, which is a very interesting item on the Moto Z2 Force phone. Interesting because the phone supports 4K recording at 30 fps, but also recording 1080p at 60 or even 120 fps, or recording 720p at 240 fps. Regular shooting modes look great, even great! If you want to make a video call, the Moto Z2 Force might be the best choice, not just in its price category. Things get a little different when you increase the number of frames per second after a bit of quality, but such a situation is on all devices – less detail, more streamlined video, and 1080p at 60 fps seems like " just "decent. slow motion modes, with 1080p at 120 fps and 720p at 240 fps. Although these modes do not sound like the last 720p in the 960 fps of the best models of Samsung and Huawei, in practice we are very satisfied, especially since they do not have the same limitation for 1 second. Finally, there is a stabilization – but in 4K we have not noticed any difference, and honestly, we would be surprised and stabilized in 4K, because the strongest and newest phones do not have it . Probably this option is just there for fun. On the other hand, in 1080p, the stabilization works well, and there is another very interesting and usable mode for amateur video recording.

Conclusion

In the end, we must look at availability and price. This is a real disadvantage as the phone is only available now, although it was released in the fall of last year. On the other hand, this allows Motorola to set very aggressive prices. As we said, this phone will not be with the operator, but in domestic retailers should appear at the price of 50 thousand dinars. If that happens to be true, we have a potential "bump", a phone that will suddenly appear and will represent a fantastic choice for the amount of money required.

Le Z2 Force Moto offre une expérience de téléphone haut de gamme. Cependant, il est dirigé vers les traditionalistes dans la conception, mais nous doutons qu'ils laisseront quelqu'un indifférent. Les fonctionnalités sont excellentes, le téléphone est superbement conçu et arrondi, tant du côté matériel que logiciel, et en pratique il apporte beaucoup de l'écran OLED, grâce à d'excellentes performances, très faible épaisseur, appareil photo exceptionnel, pure expérience Android et Moto gestures et accessoires ce qui rend ces téléphones uniques et en fait compléter le stock Android où il est le plus nécessaire. Mane? Peut-être que l'enregistrement de nuit n'est pas le meilleur, la protubérance de la caméra est là (même si le fer est un ajout) et disons que la batterie n'est pas la plus grande capacité, bien qu'en pratique elle donne des résultats assez bons. Il y a aussi un très haut degré de résistance.
