What to expect from Motorola's 5G Moto Mod

Yesterday, Motorola unveiled the Moto Z3 which will be a Verizon exclusive in the U.S. The handset is powered by the Snapdragon 835 Mobile Platform, and when launched, it will cost $480 or 24 monthly payments of $20 a month on Verizon's Device Payment plan. In the beginning of 2019, Motorola and Verizon will offer a 5G Moto Mod for the device; the modular accessory will essentially make the Moto Z3 compatible with Big Red's mobile 5G network when the carrier throws the switch to turn it on next year. Pricing for the 5G Moto Mod is unknown at the moment.
And to make sure that the 3000mAh battery on the phone doesn't expire too quickly while employing a 5G connection, the 5G Moto Mod includes a 2000mAh battery of its own. Motorola says that this should allow the phone to run the 5G Moto Mod for a full day on one charge. At first, the accessory will work only with the new Moto Z3, but an update will allow it to work with the Moto Z2 line as well. Motorola hasn't decided yet whether it will similarly update the OG Moto Z handsets.
