Motorola To Release World’s Second Modular Smartphone

Motorola will unveil two new Android smartphones this year, and like LG, it’s gone metal and modular. While the LG G5’s bottom bezel can be removed for additional add-ons, The Moto X Vertex and Moto X Vector Thin incorporates modularity into the entire back of the phone — meaning, we’ll be able to pull out the phones’ back plates and insert different ones that bring additional functionality. According to the very, very reliable Evan Blass of Venture Beat, these add-ons will be called “Amps” (LG calls them “Friends”), and Motorola already have six ready for launch. Blass says each Amp brings the following additional feature: stereo speakers, extra battery, a camera grip with optical zoom and additional flash, a wide-angle lens attachment, and a projector.
