One of the most interesting Mods it announced to date, the Gamepad, will soon go on sale but you won't be able to buy it everywhere and it will cost a pretty penny. Also part of this lineup is the JBL SoundBoost 2 speaker, the Moto TurboPower Pack battery mod, and some shell cases with wireless charging capability. What do you think of the GamePad Moto Mod?
Something that should be noted is that a game has to be specifically optimized to make full use of the GamePad Moto Mod, or the user will have to manually configure navigation buttons via a third-party app. The device has two separate joysticks on either side and a handy D-pad.
While companies such as LG and Google have ultimately abandoned their plans for modular phones, Motorola is still at it with their Moto Mods designed for their Moto Z family of smartphones.
Just like any other mobile game controller, the Gamepad Mod does not require wires or Bluetooth pairing prior to usage. Motorola also boasts of up to eight hours of battery life from a single charge of the 1035 mAh built-in battery.
If neither of these limitations deter you, prepare your wallet for August 25 since that's when the Gamepad mod will go on sale.
The tag price is relatively high for the snap-on accessory and interested buyers simply have to wait and see how well the device plays out.
