The Moto Z2 Force is a modular smartphone if you look on the back there are points to attach mods. There are several mods available like the gaming mod, JBL speaker mod, projector mod, camera mod etc. With the Z2 Force the company is giving the TurboPower mod that not only charges the phone but you can also use it like a power bank that connect to the phone. Though it does make the phone heavy and bulky.

An excellent buy for those who have a history of dropping phones and looking for a phone that will survive any drop.
