In this part of the video, Aaron introduces himself and his focus on Ransom reviews. He presents the Moto Z4 and his collection of eight different Moto Mods, expressing excitement to review each one. He explains that since the Moto Z4 is nearly three years old, it’s now more about the mods than the phone itself. Aaron provides a brief overview of how Moto Mods connect to the phone via magnets, without the need for Bluetooth pairing. He starts reviewing the mods with the least exciting one, the style shell, which adds a wood grain texture for aesthetic purposes but doesn’t protect the edges of the phone. He also mentions a bumper case that offers more protection and a folio version that turns the phone into a wallet. Aaron then moves on to the battery pack mod, which snaps onto the back of the phone to double its battery life, useful for traveling or lack of charger access.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses various accessories and modifications for a phone, focusing first on wireless charging mods. These mods are highlighted as convenient alternatives to carrying extra battery packs, despite their higher cost compared to normal battery mods. The segment then moves on to a JBL speaker mod, praising its sound quality and built-in metal kickstand, while noting its advantage over the phone’s built-in speaker and its compatibility with the phone’s camera slot. The speaker also compares it to an Amazon Echo speaker, cautioning that the latter blocks the camera.
The discussion shifts to the Moto 360 camera mod, which lacks a built-in battery but features a convenient shutter button and a slip cover for the lens. This mod allows for easy 360-degree photos and videos, making it a valuable addition for users who enjoy this type of media or engage in tasks like updating Google Maps. Overall, this mod is portrayed as affordable and particularly useful for specific photography needs.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses a Polaroid thermal printer that uses zinc packets. These packets are somewhat wasteful as they come in small packs of ten, but the exposure to sunlight does not damage the photos. The printed photos are also stickers, making the printer ideal for scrapbooking and appealing to a younger crowd. The printer features a built-in battery, although its longevity is limited. In addition, the speaker introduces a Hasselblad camera attachment with a 10x optical zoom, powered by the phone it connects to. This high-quality attachment provides a professional feel and comes with a velvet case to protect the lens.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses a camera module for a phone, explaining its high-quality photo capabilities and the limitations when using Google Photos to back up images at lower quality unless an original quality setting is selected, which consumes more space. Professional photographers might find this manageable, but casual users looking to share photos on social media may encounter quality compression. The speaker recommends this for light photography enthusiasts, highlighting the 10 times optical zoom, though stabilization is necessary, and notes the absence of a tripod mount. The segment then shifts to introducing the Moto Gamepad, likening its design to a mini switch.

In this part of the video, the presenter discusses the Lenovo GamePad, which transforms a smartphone into a portable gaming console similar to a Nintendo Switch. The GamePad features a d-pad, clickable joysticks, four standard buttons, two shoulder buttons on each side, and start, select, and home buttons. Despite its solid build quality and ergonomic design, the presenter highlights a significant drawback: the lack of Android games that support controller input. This limits the device’s usefulness, although it might be ideal for emulating older games. The GamePad includes a built-in battery, a headphone jack, and charges via USB-C. The segment concludes with a brief mention of the Moto insta share projector, noting it also has a battery and a battery status indicator.

In this part of the video, the presenter discusses the features and performance of a projector that can project up to 70 inches. They emphasize the importance of keeping the projector level to maintain the best picture quality and the limitations when projecting at an angle. The discussion includes the projector’s automatic or manual Keystone adjustment and its optimal use in low-light conditions. The projector can function even when the screen is off, conserving battery, and it has enough power for approximately one full-length two-hour movie. The presenter suggests it is ideal for those who enjoy watching movies in different locations, though most people may still prefer their TV. The segment concludes with a call for viewer feedback on the Moto Z and its mods.
