Moto Mods Smart Speaker w/Alexa Unboxing & Review

We unbox and test out Motorola's Moto Mods Smart Speaker with Amazon Alexa support, which turns your Moto Z phone into a voice-activated Echo-style device.

Moto Mods are still going strong over a year since launch and we've reviewed a lot of these Mods, which expand the smartphone's functionality. The Smart Speaker with Alexa is ideal for controlling smart home devices or blasting music on the move.

This speaker is essentially an evolved JBL SoundBoost 2, offering similar functionality as well as Alexa compatibility. Four far-field mics detect your voice from a distance, while the 1530mAh battery offers up to 15 hours of life.

You can get the Moto Mods Smart Speaker with Alexa now, for £99.

Thumbs up if you are still using your Moto Z with mods. I've already gone through two screen replacements all 4 Moto Z s.

Spike, nice. I see you're a man of culture as well

Thank you, I've been waiting for an unboxing for this mod

Do any of the speaker mods have bluetooth? Or an aux input? Reason i'm asking is because I have the projector mod. Can I watch multimidea on the projector mod while using a speaker mod for the sound.

You used to be locked out of all the Echo features like Reminders and Messaging, but this weekend my Moto X4 just updated to allow all the features of the Echo.
Does anyone with this smart speaker know if the Alexa Moto Mod got such an update as well? The X4 is a little old and slow for my tastes and the Moto Z3 while also a but old now, would be a decent upgrade as my daily driver if I can use Alexa.

Does it just keep its own battery or also charge the phone?

[tobyemerson]

could the battery in the Alexa speaker be used as a back up to power the phone as well??

[emdiei]

Already solved the Alexa problem of the question you do that if Amazon works for the Cia and disconnects without giving an answer

[thepsycologics]

Can I use it as a regular speaker for use with YouTube and my music? Thank you

I just claimed my free mod, I'm so fucking excited!

Google has to make one with Google Assistant

[manuelthodos]

Only getting this for my wife and I phone because they were free. Other then that I rather get the JBL so I can take photos as well.

Does alexa speaker work making and receiving calls?

[burnzy]

"i love using voice controls on my phone, i just wish i could do it in public" -nobody ever

[mwood]

It covers up the camera. The JBL doesn't. My phone has Google assistant so I can't see getting this since I already have the JBL.

[Thegrinch]

Why don't they make Amazon smartwatch with Alexa built right in I mean I know they had the phone they had the Amazon phones which did not do well at all but the smart watch would be a good idea right

[rickkode]

Can't this just be done with an app?

[edselhegmon]

I'm going to get the phone and the mod

[georgesandoval]

How did you get the female English voice?

[kickdowndoors]

The only reason to get this Alexa version is because it is FREE if you buy on Amazon using your Prime account and purchase the new Moto Z3 Play for $50 less than Moto's website. The new Z3 Play includes the Battery Mod. I hate Alexa. I could use the speaker to hear voicemails and calls. Definitely important.
