Buckle up your Moto Mods and get ready — the Motorola Moto Z3 is finally almost here. Boasting flagship specs and a classic Motorola design, the phone is set to be a serious contender for anyone looking for a flagship-like phone with 5G. Here’s everything you need to know about the new Motorola Moto Z3.
Another year, another set of Motorola devices. We’ve already seen the Moto G6, the Moto E5, and the midrange Moto Z3 Play, and now we’re being treated to another Moto phone. The new Moto Z3 is very similar to the Moto Z3 Play. It has a better Snapdragon processor, a slightly different camera, but the main difference is that Motorola is touting the Moto Z3 as the first phone to feature 5G support thanks to an upcoming 5G Moto Mod, which will be available in early 2019.

One of the Moto Z3’s biggest features was the option for a connection to 5G, the next generation of mobile network. Unfortunately, the 5G connection came via a Moto Mod, and the technology wasn’t finished by the time the Moto Z3 was released back in August. Thankfully, the time has now come for the release of the 5G Moto Mod. It will be available for pre-orders from March 14, and release on April 11.
If you’re looking to get the latest and greatest in mobile tech, then you can buy the 5G Moto Mod exclusively from Verizon for the princely sum of $350. However, if you pre-order the Mod, you’ll be able to pick it up for $50 up front, and $10 a month for unlimited 5G coverage on the Verizon Go Unlimited, Beyond Unlimited, or Above Unlimited plans.
While you won’t be able to use it everywhere yet, Verizon has also announced the launch of its 5G Ultra Wideband service in Chicago and Minneapolis, so residents of those cities will be able to check out their increased speeds with the 5G Moto Mod.
