everyone I'm Ricky FinTech talk and today I want to go through the reviews
of the moto mods that I was sent out with the Z to play so massive thank you
to Vodafone and Motorola supplying me with both the phones and the motor mods
so the review for the Motorola z2 is now live on channel so go and check that out
but today is about the Moto mods that you see here so first of all from left
to right we have the backplate that will protect your device and it's connection
pins you have the Moto 360 degree camera which offers wide-angle photographs as
well and over here finally you have the JBL
sound booster 2 so let's begin with the review so one thing at once points out
is that motor mods are sold separately to your device and the motor mods will
work with all moto Z family of devices so the whole ZD range will have these
connection at pins here and you can add moto mods and your device just sounds so
much better and look a lot better you can have gaming as well so first of all
we're going to have a look at the sound boost to Moto mod which is JBL and of
course JBL is owned by Harman now so to simply connect this on your line these
pins up and you snap these on first thing of all I just want to talk about
you do have a USB C connection here as you have a thousand millionth hour
battery built inside so this won't drain from your device you have a personal
battery inside here to power up the speaker's you also have a little button
here I just press this button in or flash green to let us know that the
battery is well and ready to use so let's connect the sound booth to to the
Moto Z to play so you heard it come through that so once you hear that sound
I pull down you can see the motor mode is connected and then if I pull down
further as well one key thing I like to show inside here is that you have the
Moto mod battery level and then we have our device at battery level as well so
it won't drain from our device which i think is a great idea so with that
kickstand that's built into the back you can actually flip that out turn your
device there and you can sit back relax and enjoy movies so they say this is the
pocket-sized boombox blast for hours and it really does sound fantastic so you've
got two three watt speakers in there and that offers you six watts of total power
and it's a great experience watching movies I've
really enjoyed this motor mod out of the two so I prefer the speaker compared to
the 360-degree camera and I'll explain a little bit more why later on but movie
sound goods Netflix worked perfectly fine
listening to tracks is absolutely great and I have a little bit of a demo for
you now could you oh of course I was saying we must have a word with you
on behalf of your twin brother drew here would make you better
this does not mean that we are going back to being villains the gods gave us
many gifts one day you'll know them all this is where we keep them it's
beautiful who would wield it only the fiercest
among us even could and that is not you Diana
where were you are you are in more danger than you think
be careful Diana no one else will defend the world then I must welcome to job
with the Sambo's - you do get deep bass great treble and a great overall sound
you can kick back and enjoy your media and content and that's land works
perfectly well works with hands-free as well so if you have a cool come in you
can speak to someone the speaker does have a splash proof coating as well
which means it will help against spills and light rain I do recommend though if
it is raining taking doors as you do not want to get this damaged the specs for
the JBL sound boost to is size-wise it's 152 by 73 by 14.5 thickness so it will
add some thickness to your device it's actually not that heavy it weighs 135
grams like I said at the back it has two speakers two separate speakers which
offer three watts of power each it's frequency ranges from 200 Hertz to 20
kilohertz its maximum volume is 80 decibels add it on with the radio
enjoyed it all the time with every song that came on so this integrated battery
like I said before is a thousand millionth hour battery it's USB C
charging you should get 10 hours of playback so it's just wrapping up at the
two motor mods this was my most favorite I do like the color as well not royal
blue color a nice textured design as well like with my eyesight the Moto mod
connection system is fantastic and so easy to use so when taking this off you
do have to you have to give it quite tug and the system is fantastic simply line
up them pinch you don't even have to line much you give the magnetics and
stuff inside works and you hear that sound so you know you've done that as
well the phone also vibrate which I think's a fantastic feature as you know
for myself being visually impaired not just seeing something but hearing it as
well really helps so that was the JBL sound boost to moto mod like I said the
link will be in description so now let's take a look at the Moto 360 degree
camera that we were sent as well with this moto mod 360 degree camera so just
clip that on again you'll hear the sound and your fill of vibration when clicking
on this adds such an awesome camera to your device so capture every angle every
time and this couldn't be more true you can get such a great view this mod has a
higher price tag this comes in at 239 pounds again the
link will be in description so with this you can relive and share life's
can't-miss moments with 4k 360 degree video with a massive 3d audio so let me
show you some of the clips that I have taken from the NFL now so this was the
crazy golf night that we went to at London and if we activate our panoramic
360 degree photograph here you see myself there but we can slide around see
the people from Vodafone so you can slide all the way around you see
everyone that we then have a video
so if you tap this here you then have the ability to actually use your device
to move around the option to move your device around and your move in a 360
degree circle so here is from the NFL my friend Dave there you can zoom in and
pan around as well then we have a photograph from inside the stadium so
inside our seats here so like I was saying with a contrast we had a couple
of issues with contrast ratio but I think this was due to one the sunlight
and to the stadium lights as well are very bright there also be loads more
photographs and videos up on Instagram and Twitter you can also add a punch to
your photographs with a new perspective as an ultra wide-angle hundred and fifty
degree field a few simply can't be done on any other smartphone so you can edit
on the go as works you do have advanced software built into the device from
Motorola you also have the ability to go live on Facebook Twitter Instagram or
wherever you can go live and including a YouTube of course so the camera itself
is a 360 degree spherical panoramic camera has two thirteen megapixel
sensors either side as you can see here so it will record a 360-degree video in
4k at 24 frames per second aperture is a F 2.0 and it's ISO is from a hundred 200
400 800 1600 and 3200 it's audio recording is 3d sound in 4 channel amber
Sonic and as you can see up here I will take some photographs as well you do
have two microphones either side next to that 13 megapixel lens there on the back
you'll see the M logo and this is actually a button so you can see it's
inlaid a different texture again it's to the
case you can press and hold that button in to launch your camera so once you're
in your camera here you can then press that button again take a photograph when
you're in your video mode as well press that again and that will start your
video off and then you can press it again to end your video so the caption
modes so let's turn this on so a quick twist with the Motorola so as you can
see here you can see a 360 degree version you can also change these here
by tapping so you can see that I'm reading my notes that I've written up
you can see the back in the front you also have the ability to switch to your
moto camera as well but we're going to stick with a 360 degree one and inside
here caption modes is photo video Live ultra wide-angle front and rear and
professional mode so these can be selected down here you have your shutter
button your record as well so I'm open and honest with all my reviews so first
was a couple of camera errors so it didn't load all the time when I tried to
do it really quickly I flip up from the beginning had some issues so if I go to
the lock screen here if i unlock and then go straight in sometimes I had an
error message come up here luckily it didn't for us today
I had a couple of error messages come up and I was a bit upset about that there
was quite a lot of software updates as well needed for this when I first began
and the other was a contrast so when I was at the NFL with the bright stadium
lights and also sunlight as well didn't quite get the contrast right and as you
see in my videos previously and photographs it managed to get some great
shots but the contrast could have been better or the ability to change the
contrast which I couldn't find when testing the device up from that if you
want an immersive 4k video in 360 degrees so you can capture your most
special moments as well and the ability to go live and get ultra wide angles 150
degree photographs is awesome so if you need any help with both these motor mods
please leave question down below or comment down below and be more than
happy to help let me know what you think of both the Moto 360 degree moto mod the
sound boost to Moto mod as well which i think is my favorite and then also if
you have any questions about the z2 play also drop a comment down below it's
always great to hear from you thanks always for watching remember the
links will be in description and I'll see you in my next video bye for now
