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.

You can purchase the Moto Mod Polaroid Insta-Share Printer from Motorola directly. There are a lot of other great mods out there I would pick over the printer for most people.īUT, if you fit one of those niche use cases, like the digital marketer example I used, this mod is right in your wheel-house and pairing it with a Moto Z could be a very worthwhile investment. We upgrade our phones frequently in this day and age, so investing in a mod you may use a few times a year isn’t ideal. If you want to buy it as a nice to have to use at Christmas sort of thing, I do not think you would get your money worth out of it. Therefore, unless you have a very specific use case that will enable you to use the printer frequently, I would give this a pass. The printer mod is very well built, performs well and the print quality is passable, but not by any means outstanding. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || ).push() I would have liked to see Motorola/Polaroid include a USB A to C cable to make charging easier, but you can use the USB-C charger from your Moto Z to charge the built-in mod battery. The printer ships alone with no cables, but does come with a starter pack of 10 sheets of paper to get you going, and slip of paper advising you how to load the paper. The prints also have an adhesive backing so you can print stick them anywhere you like if that’s your thing. This mod, like its siblings, clamps onto the back of any current Moto Z phone and through the use of a dedicated app, prints off 2×3 pictures on a special zero-ink paper, otherwise known as “Zink”. When Motorola sent over the Insta-Share projector, they also sent along another Moto Mod, the Polaroid Insta-Share printer. My kids really enjoyed watching movies on it, and my wife and I are planning on bringing this on camping trips this summer to set up an outdoor movie theatre at night. However, after using the projector a handful of times I was amazed at how fun and useful the projector was. I went into the review with a lot of skepticism, thinking that this was nothing more than an overpriced gimmick that would be sure to end up in a drawer, never to be seen again. I recently reviewed the Motorola Insta-Share Projector.
