We’re a few days out from Motorola’s ‘Hello Moto World’ event, which will take place on Tuesday, July 25 in NYC. During the showcase, the Lenovo-owned subsidiary is expected to reveal a batch of new smartphones including a Moto Z Force successor in that of Moto Z2 Force.

According to a new report from VentureBeat, the Moto Z2 Force will carry mostly high-end specifications and appear similar to the device you see in the above render. We’re expecting a 5.5-inch QHD Super AMOLED Shatterproof display in addition to both a 21MP rear camera and 12MP front camera. In terms of raw processing power, it seems that Motorola has decided to go with the Snapdragon 835 chipset from Qualcomm. RAM and storage space could depend on your location. US markets are said to get a 4GB RAM model capped at 128GB of internal storage. Most other markets will get 6GB of RAM and be limited to only 32GB and 64GB storage variants of the phone. MicroSD will be an option in all cases.

The one spec that struck us as dangerous is the smartphone’s battery capacity, rumored to be just 2,730mAh. The company downsized the cell inside Moto Z2 Play compared with Moto Z Play, so we won’t be too surprised if Motorola elects to go with thinness as the priority again, but with Moto Z2 Force. A 2,730mAh size would be a 22 percent loss from the Moto Z Force’s 3,500mAh component. This has been known to make potential buyers unhappy, but with Moto Z2 Play, at least, optimizations played a major role in reducing the loss in battery capacity. Here’s to hoping that this will be the case again with Moto Z2 Force.

Moto Z2 Force could have independent carrier variants for Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile. Color options may include Super Black and Fine Gold, with the possibility of a T-Mobile exclusive Lunar Grey shade. Moto Mod support will be present as well as a water-repellent nano-coating and Android 7.1.1. Join us next week as we uncover all the official news right here at DT.
