The Moto Z2 Force Edition has officially gotten launched at an event alongside a brand new Moto 360 Camera Mod. Like its predecessors, the handset boasts of ShatterShield protection to stop the screen from breaking into smithereens if dropped. It’s also been reinforced with 7000 series aluminum for added durability.
As for fresh changes, the Moto Z2 Force Edition comes with two 12MP cameras on its back, one fitted with a monochrome lens and the other color. Together, the duo is supposed to capture higher-quality photos. There are also a range of post-production effects to experiment with like selective focus and selective black + white.
The first lets Moto Z2 Force Edition users blur out the background or foreground and the latter allows them to transform the background or foreground to black and white. There’s also a pro mode to adjust the ISO, shutter speed, and exposure.
