A previously leaked image of the Moto Z2 Force revealed a smartphone that looks very similar to the Moto Z2 Play, and a new leak reveals more information on the upcoming device.

The new details regarding the Moto Z2 Force, however, may prove to be a disappointment for fans of its predecessor, the Moto Z Force, especially for those living in the United States.

Moto Z2 Force: Disappointing Specifications

Reliable leaker Evan Blass, who was also the one who leaked images of the Moto Z2 Force and the Moto X4 earlier this month, revealed more details on the Moto Z2 Force based on marketing material acquired by VentureBeat.

The 5.5-inch smartphone will keep the 1440p Shattershield Super AMOLED POLED display, which is the reason for its name. The Moto Z2 Force will be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 835 compared to the Snapdragon 820 in the Moto Z Force, confirming previous rumors on the device.

The Moto Z2 Force also presents a camera upgrade compared to its predecessor, with the 21-megapixel rear-facing camera replaced by a pair of 12-megapixel camera modules. The smartphone is also said to feature water-repellent nano-coating and will come in shades of Super Black, Fine Gold, and T-Mobile-exclusive Lunar Grey.

However, Motorola's decision to further slim down the already-thin device compromised its battery life. While the Moto Z Force carried a 3,500 mAh battery, the Moto Z2 Force will only pack a 2,730 mAh battery. This is because of the move to shave off another millimeter to its thickness, which some users might not even notice. The lower battery capacity, however, will be more apparent.

Further dampening the excitement for the Moto Z2 Force is that its specifications will be reduced in the United States. While customers outside of the United States will enjoy 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage, customers in the United States will only receive 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal storage.

Will You Buy The Moto Z2 Force?

The Moto Z2 Force features a more powerful processor and a dual-camera setup but sacrifices battery capacity compared to the Moto Z Force and is not as powerful as it can be in the United States.

The lower RAM and internal storage might mean a lower price tag, but even without knowing the Moto A2 Force price, the device may only be a marginal upgrade to current Moto Z Force owners and a passable option for customers looking to buy a new smartphone.
