The Moto Z2 Force on Verizon will support the 5G Moto Mod

Motorola announced today that the 5G Moto Mod will be compatible with the Moto Z2 Force sometime this summer. The 5G Moto Mod is currently only compatible with the Moto Z3. The Mod will also be compatible with the new Moto Z4, which was just launched today.

Because the 5G Moto Mod only works with Verizon's 5G network, so only the Moto Z2 Force on Verizon is compatible. Also, Verizon's 5G network is nascent and is only available in two cities across the U.S. as of this writing. Verizon will expand its 5G network to more cities over time, but we don't know how fast or slow that rollout is.

We also don't know how many Moto Z2 Force owners will jump at this, seeing how the phone is

almost two years old.
