The Moto Mods are not dead yet, according to this Moto Z4 leak

Motorola's Moto Z4 phone has leaked, and it's not really surprising that the company is doing a fourth iteration of its flagship Android phone, that's the first indication we see that its initiative Moto Mod may still be topical – because you can clearly see the copper contacts of its modular Moto Mods accessories on the back of this so-called phone.

The release of new Moto Mods has slowed over the past two years, to such an extent that it was hard to say whether this initiative had a future. After all, the latest big wave of new Mods has come up with the 2017 Moto Z2 game. Since then, a promising folding keyboard developed by a third company has been canceled in 2018. In an interview with Engadget at the time, Motorola insisted that it would continue to work on mods in the foreseeable future.

But aside from the Moto Mod 5G, which is now available for pre-order and only compatible with the Verizon 5G consumer network, which has not yet been launched, we see no indication of the arrival of a new wave of mods. So it's possible that the point of attachment of Moto Mods exists simply to appease past customers instead of attracting new ones, but we will have to wait for more information to reach us for a bigger and better image.

Some other rumors were revealed by the publication 91mobiles. The 2019 model could use a Snapdragon 855 processor, which would help many phone fans who felt themselves burned by the Moto Z3 last year. He was using the old Snapdragon 835 while other flagship phones were opting for the Snapdragon 845.

The Moto Z4 represented in the leak seems to have a tear-shaped cut, new for the Z line but similar to that found in this year's Moto G7. Regarding the lack of a fingerprint sensor visible in the photo, Moto can opt for an integrated fingerprint reader instead of inserting it in the side of the phone, which was done with the Moto Z3. During his review of Z3 last year, Chris Welch said that the side drive was "hard to use" and that a display option could reduce this inconvenience, but it did not work. Maybe it was not better. The in-display solution of the Samsung Galaxy S10 has ended up being "slower and more complex" than before, although Moto can find a way to improve it.

According to rumor, the camera presented in the leak would be a 48-megapixel Sony sensor. A single lens system calls into question the phone's champion of mobile photography in terms of portraits with a lot of bokeh, but the Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL are doing very well. megapixel sensor found in the Honor View 20, there is something to be excited about.
