It isn't hugely bright, but its 50 lumens proved enough for my use cases. The projector will cast an image measuring up to 70 inches across the diagonal onto any available surface. Just attach the projector to the Moto Z and switch it on, and it works. This really is a 'plug and play' solution. It can't be seen when handset and projector are joined, but the connectors support passthrough charging, and when this is taking place an on-screen notification reports the charge level. There's a charge light on the flat face of the projector that fits to the back of the phone, which indicates charge level when the projector is being charged away from a handset. This is used before it starts draining the Moto Z handset's battery. The projector incorporates a separate 1,100mAh battery that's rated for an hour of projection time.

Top of the Mod range is the Moto Insta-Share Projector, which will set you back £249.98. The Incipio offGrid Power Pack (£59.99) adds up to 20 hours of battery life, the JBL SoundBoost Speaker (£69.98) improves sound output and has its own 10-hour battery pack, and the Hasselblad True Zoom (£199.99) is a 10x optical zoom camera. When I met with Lenovo recently to talk about the new Moto G5 handset, we also discussed Mods, which the company said it will support on future Z-series handsets. Lenovo, owner of the Motorola/Moto brand, thinks it can make a success of modular, and any phone in its Moto Z line can be expanded with what it calls Moto Mods. So are modular smartphone fans left with just the well-intentioned and long-lived eco-friendly Fairphone 2?
The new LG G6 doesn't support expansion, though, while Google has abandoned its modular Project Ara.
Last year we saw the LG G5 include add-on modules such as a camera grip with and extra battery, an audio booster and a battery expansion module. Usually the clever features they come up with reside on the handset itself, but that's not always the case. Smartphone makers have to work hard to differentiate their handsets these days.
