Motorola fans are holding their breath for a next-generation Moto Z Force smartphone. The company introduced last year’s Moto Z models during the Summer months, so anticipation for new models is beginning to heat up right about now.

Android Authority and popular tipsters OnLeaks and Evan Blass revealed the latest this week on what to expect from Motorola in the coming months. Early renders in the form of videos disclosed what the upcoming Moto Z2 Force could look like. The design is similar to the previous iteration with a rear camera lens that protrudes out the back as well as pin attachments for Moto Mod support.

The design in the renders appears to be made of a familiar material though not confirmed. A Blue color with a Black trim is shown off, however, whether or not it will be the only option remains unheard. Durability looks like it will be improved on this generation. Also, there is now a dual camera system on the rear though it takes the same design approach as last year. Absent is any branding and present is a microphone on the back side and a redesigned home button.

Motorola looks to be keeping most design elements around, at least for one more year, which is great considering most of us like what we see. However, it would be nice if we could get some trimmed down bezels. Pointed out by the renders appears to be a headphone jack, which was not included on last year’s model.

Thanks to trusted tipsters, we also know what the dimensions will be for the upcoming handset. The Moto Z2 Force will measure 156.3 x 76.4 x 5.9mm in size, which is narrower and thinner but slightly larger overall than last year’s device. Details concerning a regular Moto Z2 have remained scarce.

It’s also believed that the handset “won’t be a Verizon exclusive” as opposed to last year’s Moto Z Force that was. Both Verizon and T-Mobile are expected to carry it. Now all we need are those totally cool mods we saw earlier this year, and we’re set for a good one!
