We’ve been getting a lot of news about Lenovo’s upcoming Moto X recently. First, images of it leaked, showing us its all new metal design. And then we found out that the Moto X was going to have modular add-ons, similar to those of the LG G5, but more diverse. But it seems that Lenovo has had it with the leaks and, I assume, in an attempt to stem the tide of leaks, it seems the tech company is going to ditch the Moto X name in favour of Moto Z.
Ignoring the important question, why not Y, according to the report from VentureBeat, the two new Moto Z phones will be called the Moto Z Style and the Moto Z Play. Furthermore Lenovo’s Droid line of products will ditch names like “Turbo” and “Max”, and will instead use “Droid Edition” to the Lenovo branding.
The Moto Z Style, which is currently codenamed “Vector Thin”, will reportedly be the more premium of the two phones. On the other hand, the Moto Z Play, codenamed Vortex, will have its features pruned down in comparison. Furthermore, the modular add-ons will be renamed from “Amp” to “MotoMods”.
These new Moto Z devices are separate from the three Moto G phones that were also announced today.
