When I met with Lenovo recently to talk about the new Moto G5 handset, we also discussed Mods, which the company said it will support on future Z-series handsets. Lenovo, owner of the Motorola/Moto brand, thinks it can make a success of modular, and any phone in its Moto Z line can be expanded with what it calls Moto Mods. So are modular smartphone fans left with just the well-intentioned and long-lived eco-friendly Fairphone 2? The new LG G6 doesn't support expansion, though, while Google has abandoned its modular Project Ara. Last year we saw the LG G5 include add-on modules such as a camera grip with and extra battery, an audio booster and a battery expansion module. Usually the clever features they come up with reside on the handset itself, but that's not always the case. Smartphone makers have to work hard to differentiate their handsets these days.
