The Moto Z Force Droid offers a similar setup with a bigger 3500mAh battery and a more powerful 21-megapixel rear camera for a higher price.

Verizon has the Moto Z Droid Edition available for pre-order for 4 or $26/month, while the Moto Z Force Droid Edition is also available for 0 or $30/month.
Controlling and interacting with the Moto Mods is possible with the Moto Mods Manager. And Moto is doing more than making these Mods commercially available and configurable through apps. The new smartphone is awesome on its own and the Moto Mods work pretty well, even if they don’t live up to their full potential.
But in reality, you should be hunting for the best deal and Best Buy still has that.

There’s also an optional HAT adapter board that lets you take existing Raspberry Pi HATs and turn them into Moto MODs and several “personality cards” that are basically sample cards that can be used with the reference module to show how you would integrate audio components, a battery, display, or other hardware. We have only heard a few styles but we’re expecting more will be introduced in the market as Motorola recently rolled out the Moto Mods Development Kits in the country. At Motorola’s site, you get the Moto Maker experience, which allows you to not only choose from a couple of color options (black and rose gold is listed, but not available yet), but easily bump up the storage and add on Moto Mods. While you can adjust the focus by turning a physical focus wheel, there are no such controls for brightness and keystone correction.
