CONS

  2. Mediocre Battery Life: The 3,000 mAh battery is weak for modern standards.
  3. Carrier Exclusive: Limited to Verizon in the United States.
  4. 5G Mod Cost: The 5G Moto Mod is an expensive, separate purchase.
  5. No Headphone Jack: Lacks a 3.5mm jack, requiring a USB-C adapter.
  6. Poor Low-Light Camera: Photos are often blurry or grainy in dim settings.
  7. No Wireless Charging: Lacks native wireless charging (requires a Mod).
  8. Weak Durability: Uses glass on the back, making it more breakable than the Z2 Force.
  9. No Water Resistance: Only splash-resistant, not fully waterproof.
  10. Fingerprint Sensor Placement: Side-mounted sensor is awkward for some users
