Reports say that the new handset will feature a Snapdragon 835 processor.
It’s been interesting to watch Motorola embrace modular phones over the last year or two, with rival LG doing more-or-less the opposite and coming out with the back-to-basics G6.
The company has said it plans to release even more MotoMods in 2017 compared to this year, at a rate of four per quarter and is also running a competition for tech startups and innovators to get involved via IndieGoGo.
