Luckily, the other Mods are more reasonably priced. Found at half the price in a bargain bin in a few months, however, it might be worth a cheaper pickup.īuy the Moto Insta-Share Projector here from Motorola While the Insta-Share Projector is a very handy thing to be able to pull out of your bag, the US$300 price point – nearly half the price of the phone itself – makes it difficult to justify, given the slim battery life and low resolution. The phone’s speaker is fine if you’re watching in a quiet room, but the larger the group, the less likely you’ll be able to hear it well enough.

Even if you can get through a full movie, your phone will be nearly tapped out.Īnd with no headphone jack on the Moto Z, you’ll need a Bluetooth or USB-C-connectible speaker if you’re planning to entertain a crowd. The 1,100mAh battery within the Mod helps supplement the phone’s battery, adding about an hour of extra playback – but with a fully charged phone and Mod together, I barely got to 2.5 hours in a rundown test streaming from Netflix. That’s fine for a TV show from Netflix, and it’s on par with most standalone pico projectors, but it’s a big drop from the Moto Z’s Quad HD screen.īuy the Insta-Share Projector here from MotorolaĪlso, the battery life isn’t awesome.

There are drawbacks, however, starting with the meager 480p resolution. The built-in kickstand helps make the Insta-Share Projector effective, as it’s super strong and can help you toss the image on any wall or ceiling with ease. If your room is dark enough, it’s solidly bright at max settings, and the keystone correction for auto-adjusting to your wall tends to work well – although you may need to fiddle with the angle a bit. With absolutely minimal effort, you can project up to a 70in image on a wall, whether you’re streaming video, playing locally saved media, or enjoying a game. It snaps a portable pico projector onto the back of your Moto Z for taking the big screen anywhere. The Moto Insta-Share Projector is tied with Hasselblad’s True Zoom as the most exciting Moto Mod we’ve played with so far. Seeing how the only killer feature here is that 10x optical zoom, we’re not convinced that’s worth paying £200 for unless you’re really, really into smartphone photography.īuy the Hasselblad True Zoom here from Motorola With no tripod thread, you won’t be doing any fancy low shutter speed light painting, but that Xenon flash does a great job at illuminating gig photos and late-night club antics. The electric stabilisation isn’t all that precise either, showing a bit of judder in fast panning shots.

It can’t shoot 4K video, only 1080p – and at just 30fps to boot.

You can tap anywhere onscreen to focus, but there’s no manual focus ring on the zoom lens. There are a few other things missing, too.

The Moto Z Play has a superior 16MP sensor, and even the Moto Z’s 12MP snapper holds its own. When you aren’t zooming in, the True Zoom doesn’t exactly have the edge in terms of quality. It’s not hard to work out which is which in our sample shots above. At full 8x digital zoom, the Moto Z takes blurry photos that lack any real detail, but the True Zoom’s 10x optical lens makes everything look crisp. You can really see the quality difference, too.

You can half-press the physical shutter button to focus and exposure lock, and the zoom rocker feels super snappy and responsive. Hold the power button down for a second and it’ll open Motorola’s camera app, which also gains some Hasselblad-specific modes like RAW shooting. Connect the True Zoom to a Moto Z and it’ll pair automatically – no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth faffing required.
