While things have been a bit quiet on the LG “Friends” ecosystem front, Motorola seems to be rather busy on their end. The company recently unveiled a couple of new Moto Mods in the form of a Mophie battery pack and an Incipio car mount, but that’s not the end of it as it seems that Motorola plans on keeping very busy in 2017.According to a report from CNET, it seems that Motorola has plans to launch at least 12 Moto Mods a year, starting in 2017. This means that we can look forward to, on average, of at least 3 Moto Mods per quarter. According to John Touvannas, Lenovo’s Moto Mods director, “Our goal is to get more Mods out this year than we did last year, no question.”
Unfortunately Motorola did not dive any deeper into the types of Moto Mods that we can look forward to, but the company did state that they were interested in camera technology. Last week we heard that Motorola more or less confirmed that the Tango phone’s camera tech could eventually be a Moto Mod.
Stephen McDonnell, senior manager of the Moto Mods Ecosystem said, “The mods are putting new sensors into phone. When you attach a JBL speaker to your phone, that’s your phone’s speaker now.” No word on when the new mods will drop, but CES/MWC 2016 does seem like a good platform for any kind of announcement.
