, Motorola says that its Moto Mods will take three forms in the future: first-party, collaborations, and full third-party creations.

The Alexa Mod, which doesn't have a release date, works as a dock, offering always-on listening and a loud Harman-made speaker to answer questions while the Moto Z is docked. It holds the phone at an angle for easy reference, and the company hinted that this wouldn't be the last partnership between the companies.


Dery also announced a few new Mods that will be launched in the coming months, including updated battery Mods, a small accessory to charge other Mods, a wireless charging attachment, and a game pad (which is my personal favorite).
