Moto Z is an Android smartphone developed by Motorola Mobility. Unveiled on June 9, 2016, as its flagship model for the year, the Moto Z is distinguished by the "Moto Mods" technosystem which allows case accessories to be magnetically attached to the device to provide additional functionality. The Moto Z was later joined by the more rugged Moto Z Force of which shares most of the same internals as the former, and the mid-range Moto Z Play with downgraded specifications, all three devices being compatible with the modular system.

In the United States, Moto Z is carrier-exclusive to Verizon Wireless under the name Moto Z Droid Edition, as part of the Droid line of smartphones that are exclusively manufactured[2] by Motorola.[3] It was released direct-to-consumer as an unlocked device in September 2016.[4] The phone was the final one to carry the Droid branding, as Verizon discontinued it after its release.

The Moto Z, Moto Z Force, and Moto Z Play were succeeded by the Moto Z2 Force and Moto Z2 Play which retain compatibility with the modular system.[5]

Moto Z series has new addition in the form of the Moto Z3 and Moto Z4. Like most of Motorola's smartphones in the Moto Z series, supports Motorola's magnetically attachable "MotoMods" modules[6]
