Motorola Moto Z replaceable StyleMod back covers leak out in photographs

While we do know plenty of about the upcoming Motorola Moto Z flagship, there’s always room for a bit more. A new leak coming from hellomotoHK, shows off the snazzy back covers that are set to arrive with the flagship smartphone dubbed as StyleMods. [caption id=“attachment_318729” align=“aligncenter” width=“640”]  Image: hellomotoHK (Google+)[/caption] The leaked images reveals that the Moto Z’s StyleMods will be available in a number of materials and textures. These would include leather, ballistic nylon and wood. The same leaks also contains images of the flagship smartphone, once again showing off the large protruding camera module on the back. We expect the StyleMods to connect to the 16 pin connectors on the back as well, and bring in some form of customisation in the UI. The connectors are expected to be used mainly with the MotoMods modular accessories, that are said to be launched with the smartphone. The accessories would be similar to what we have on the LG G5 modular smartphone. One of the MotoMods is expected to add a dedicated shutter button  with a lens cover and even a an optical zoom lens. Motorola is expected to take charge of the modular smartphone race (until Google’s Ara smartphones arrive) that should bring a better level of functionality compared to what we have on the LG G5, that somehow left us a bit unsatisfied .
