The add-on 10x zoom camera provides much-needed photo-framing flexibility to your phone.
The Moto Mods add-on architecture is an intelligent way to add a camera and the Hasselblad True Zoom is attractive, well designed and adds a convenient 10x zoom.
The camera software can be annoying and it's hard to control framing when zoomed all the way in, especially for moving subjects. The video quality isn't great, either.
If you take a lot of photos and have a Motorola Moto Z phone, the Hasselblad is a great add-on to have, as long as you're looking for a big zoom instead of better-than-phone photo quality.

Our Hasselblad True Zoom review looks at the Moto Mod for Moto Z smartphones, allowing consumers an easy way to "upgrade" the camera on their smartphone.
Offers OIS for photos, EIS for video. 10x optical zoom is fantastic, shoots RAW DNG format, plenty of manual options.
No way to retain settings. Colours seem a bit washed out over the default Moto Z camera. Pulls from phone battery.

When Motorola showed off their Moto Mods in the middle of the summer one thing that seemed missing was a camera option. We seen it with the LG G5 and also attachments on other devices. Motorola has teamed up with world-renowned camera company...
With a hefty price tag of $300 is it really worth it? Its a hard price to swallow especially if you just spent $400 on the recent Moto Z Play. Like I said on a good bright day outside the photos can come out gorgeous looking but even at those times its...

For $250 you should just buy a vastly superior point-and-shoot camera.
10x optical zoom
As expensive as a decent point-and-shoot, but less capable ; Generally takes worse pictures than the built-in camera
It does what it says it does, but not very well, and there are quite a few serious drawbacks. For the price, a point-and-shoot camera will give you a lot more.

The Moto Z Play wasn't the only thing Motorola announced today at IFA Berlin. The company also showed off a new Moto Mod co-created by legendary camera maker Hasselblad called the Hasselblad True Zoom

One of the great appeals of Motorola's (or perhaps that should be Lenovo's) Moto Z range is the modularity offered by its Moto Mods. These smartphone attachments cleverly attach to the back of the Moto Z range through magnets, making connecting and...

There has long been talk of a Hasselblad Moto Mod camera module appearing for the Moto Z to transform it into a "proper" camera. And now it, under the True Zoom moniker, is finally here.

The attempts to design a practical solution to upgrade a phone camera's options -- whether it's better photo quality or a zoom lens or both -- have been unsuccessfully ongoing since 2013 when Samsung tried to integrate a zoom lens on its Galaxy S4...

Turn your Moto Z smartphone into a Hasselblad compact camera with a 10x optical zoom lens.
The Hasselblad True Zoom doesn't feature a tripod socket, something that would make this much more useful for photographers. This is something that is available on the Sony QX range, and gives your smartphone a tripod socket. The QX range also has a...
