Will these fixes and updates arrive in a timely fashion? Previous issues like RAM management and display accuracy point to fast fixes.

Motorola to follow up Phab 2 Pro with Moto Z Tango Moto Mod

Motorola will “likely” release a Google Tango Moto Mod to allow for at least some of the Moto Z device series to execute augmented reality functions, the company’s CEO said.

Aymar de Lencquesaing addressed the press from company headquarters in Chicago today to announce the news. The modular accessory would follow the release of the Phab 2 Pro phablet, made by Motorola’s parent company, Lenovo.

“Augmented reality on a phone is a technology that’s likely to stick,” he said. “Of course we’ll follow, or lead, the market in this area.”
