Posted by msmash on from the lots-riding-on-it dept.

harrymcc writes: Lots of people have fantasized about modular smartphones, but Motorola introduced one -- the Moto Z -- and actually created an ecosystem of useful add-ons. Now its parent company, Lenovo, has made major cuts at Moto headquarters in Chicago, throwing the future of Moto Mods into doubt. Over at Fast Company, Jared Newman talked to some of the people who have invested energy in this modular platform about why it would be such a shame if Lenovo gave up on the idea.

    i do. God forbid anyone wants anything you dont. The world doesnt revolve around you. I dont need a high quality camera so id probably swap it out for the projector module, or maybe the battery pack. And I'd rather take a 1" phone over a phone that dies after 24 hours any day
