QUOTE(NightFelix @ Jun 11 2016, 10:11 AM) Can't just they make a design that looks like Moto X Gen 1 or 2 that with Fingerprint scanner on the back M logo dimple.  Dual front facing speaker. Logically speaking, that's not possible with mods, unless they include fingerprint sensor in every mod, which is inefficient and costly.

QUOTE(sanosizo @ Jun 11 2016, 04:02 PM) Fingerprint scanner has to be at the front or else the mods wouldn't be possible.

Sad, they put the Moto wording in front. Previous Moto Phones don't have any logo/wording in front panel, only back panel with the Motorola logo.

QUOTE(zhou86 @ Jun 13 2016, 12:18 PM) I'm pretty sure parallel importers will bring the device in, besides waiting for Lenovo to bring it into M'sia (yeah right!) when even the MXStyle 2015 hasn't even come in yet. We might as well wait for a Mars colony to be established then the devices will come in (okay not that long but just exaggeration).

Well, doesn't matter much to me, I have been using Bluetooth headsets for some time now. Bluedio headsets are quite good and very affordable.

If you think about it, why go through all those trouble just to put fingerprint sensor behind? I think much better place would be at the power button, similar to the Z5, but front is good too, just doesn't feel that natural.

If they put it near the camera, there might be small issues like fingerpring smudge at the camera, and especially using flashlight, its not good to have your finger nearby the camera as your finger will caused the reflection and stuff. Although its just my opinion and I totally understand and respect your points of views

The front fingerprint sensor is OK but the design looks weird. Squarish thing in the middle. If on the white colour front even more confusing as its flanked by two dots (proximity sensors). The white front looks too cluttered imo. Agree with that they could've incorporated the fingerprint scanner onto the power button at the side. Would look cleaner

QUOTE(FayeChan @ Jun 12 2016, 02:04 PM) Lenovo, I see what you did there with the Style Mod back covers ... That is because without the covers, the Camera hump is very obvious and can be easily damaged. And a new owner HAS to get one Style Mod Cover so that the camera hump is flushed. Phone wise, the Z Force is the more preferred choice (to me) cause of theΒ beefed up battery & Shatter Shield Display. And why....no 3.5mm headphone jacks? π±π±π± I'm going to hold on to my MXStyle 2015 for the time being.. πππ Hmm not really la I think. If people opt to go for cases instead, the bulge will be flushed too But then again, case makers will have a big headache in making cases, as they have to consider the phone with & without the shells This post has been edited by SyathibiyMegat: Jun 14 2016, 01:41 AM
