Lenovo confirms Motorola Moto Z branding though trademark filing

Lenovo recently filed for US Trademark for Moto Z and by doing so has confirmed the the rumours of Moto X branding being changed to ‘Moto Z’. The company is all set to launch the Moto Z line up of smartphones at an event scheduled for 9 June along with the possible return of Moto Razor that Motorola has recently begun teasing.

Lenovo Moto Z is a successor to the extremely well received Moto X. Fans were expecting a refresh for quite a while now and many were disappointed when they did not see any announcements related to Moto X. But the famous tipster for most of the mobile leaks, Evan Blass was the first one to break the news about the change in branding.

Moto Z renders that leaked included mysterious connectors on the back that hinted at some kind of modular functionality on the phone. It was brought to light that those modular parts were going to called as Moto Mods. HelloMotoHK has reported that some of the Mods could be launched with the Moto Z. The Mods are expected to include a Pro camera Mod, an Adventure Mod, Theater Mod, Stereo Mod, Power Mod, Style Mod. We will have to wait for the event to check if the rumours and leaks pan out, but in the meantime we will be on the lookout for more information and leaks.
