One of Motorola's most expensive modular elements

This software will perhaps improve the stitching performed automatically by the Moto Z2 Force Edition. If it seems to work really well on video, the photos taken live, phone in hand, show a slight stitching problem on the phone. Nothing dramatic though.

Available at 300 dollars (299.99, to be precise…) the camera is compatible with all smartphones in the Z range. At this price, the camera is one of the most expensive mods that it is possible to integrate into his Moto Z2 Force Edition. Only the Hasselblad camera and the projector have an equivalent price.
