Overview
Moto Z -- The Storage Mod. A product which will ensure that you never fall short of storage space when you require it the most. It is backed with a powerful battery, I/O ports and other efficient features. This Mod is selected as a finalist for the Lenovo Moto's Transform The Smartphone Challenge.

Idea

The Moto Z brings modularity to a whole new level. You may be aware of some of the existing Moto mods available and the functionality that they provide. The Storage Mod takes that a step further making your smartphones very productive.

Storage

The Storage Mod comes with a built-in memory , which acts as the external hard drive attached to the back of your Moto Z smartphone .The mod can be configured as per user requirements  and is available in 32GB , 64GB , 128GB and 256GB variants.

Battery 

The Storage Mod comes with a 2800mAh battery giving you an extra 6hrs of onscreen time for your Moto Z .

The Storage Mod can be configured by your Moto Z for your charging preferences. You can set either default mode to keep your phone at 100% charge, or efficiency mode to keep your phone at 80% battery while helping The Storage Mod to last longer.

I/O Ports

The Storage Mod is equipped with a bunch of I/O ports. Any USB devices can be connected to the Mod. The portability of a laptop and the power of a desktop computer can be achieved just by connecting the mod along with the moto z to any available display via an  HDMI cable. With the AUX port and the Micro-USB port, you can now listen to music and charge the device at the same time.

Faster data transfer and quick charge is supported by the USB Type -C.

 

QI Wireles Charging & IR Remote

The Mod features  QI certified wireless charging capability allowing it to charge through any wireless charger and can also be used as a TV Remote.

Dedicated SDXC Card Reader

The Mod has a built-in SDXC Card Reader for photographer's ,video editors and other professionals. It empowers them to edit ,view , share , backup pictures-videos, on the go without the need of any extension cables or dongles.

The Impact

We commonly face many problems with our smartphones in our day to day life. One of them is the storage and inability to connect your portable hard drive to your phone for increased storage and battery backup of your smartphone to enhance productivity. The storage mod is one such solution to storage and battery problems.

It comes with many added benefits:--      

1) Built in internal storage beginning from 32GB which goes up to 256GB 

2) I/O ports which give us the freedom to use our phone as a portable computer 

3) Freedom to attach an USB drive to it 

4) Micro-USB and USB-A  port for data syncing and charging

5) The missing AUX port on the Moto Z

6) The freedom to attach SDXC card to the Mod to transfer or view images on the SD Card on your phone ;It is a great tool for photographers and video editors

7) It also comes equipped with a 2800 mAh battery which will ensure that your Moto Z is never out of juice

8) Wireless charging and IR capabilities.                                                               

The Storage Mod will add utility and convenience over and above what the phone is already capable of.  

 

Next Steps

I am working on a prototype, which is tested with its functionality for the intended purpose.  The electronic components have been tested with the phone and are working perfectly fine.  The housing for the same will be ready in a week’s time  and soon I will have a working proof-of-concept design that will work through the phone's USB port. Currently all of the components I have used are commercially available in the market. The development of a custom designed PCB is under progress and should be ready soon. After completion of the work of PCB designing it will  be directly tested on the MDK which will be the last stage of the prototyping. I need your help to take this prototype to Motorola and work with them to develop and test the final product ,as well as, get required certification and finalize the electronics.
