What does ShatterShield technology mean?

ShatterShield is Motorola's proprietary five-layer screen system designed not to crack or shatter upon impact. Unlike regular glass, the top layer is made of flexible plastic.

Does the Moto Z2 Force support 5G?

No, the device does not have built-in 5G support. While a 5G mod was available for the Moto Z3, it is not fully compatible for data connectivity with the Z2 Force.

How do Moto Mods work?

Mods attach to the back of the phone with strong magnets and connect through gold contacts (Moto Pins). They can be swapped without turning off the phone.

Is the screen scratch-resistant?

Since the top layer is plastic, it is shatterproof but scratches more easily than glass. It is recommended to use an additional glass screen protector.

Does the phone have a headphone jack?

No, the Moto Z2 Force lacks a 3.5mm headphone jack. A USB-C adapter or Bluetooth headphones must be used.

How long does the battery last?

The 2730 mAh battery is small by today's standards. With active use, it lasts about half a day. It is recommended to use a Moto Mod battery pack to increase capacity.
