Pretty well in multi tasking even while im copying large files, didn't even fell any delay on screen and on other apps.
[Moto Z Real Life Review] D13H4RD2L1V3:
Surprisingly well-managed RAM management.

Still tends to kick apps a bit too early at times, but for the most part, it manages its available RAM well, even keeping an app that's been opened hours ago running in the background without killing it from memory, like my iPad Pro.

The thinness of the phone works against it.

Its gets a bit warm in normal use but not too much.

During charging it can quickly heat up esp. in summers.

A style shell or case somewhat helps.
[Moto Z Real Life Review] 41LY45:
Gets stupid warm with the Incipio bumper.

Stutters when navigating on phone holder under hot sum sometimes ( I live in a tropical climate)

Oh, had a screen replacement, the glue is basically coming off on the heatpipe side of screen because of the constant heating and cooling cycle.

Mine is going sometimes to 45 C. It's unpleasant to hold.

I flashed Stock 7.1.1 ROM yesterday. After that it doesnt get so extremly warm, as with Custom ROM.

At the club, at the bar, or just in your mom's basement, nighttime is when you come out to play. Rate this thread to express how the Moto Z's camera performs when no or low light is present. A higher rating indicates that the camera sensor "sees" lots of light in dim conditions, and that the resulting photos have minimal noise. A higher rating also indicates that when the flash fires, the resulting photo is evenly-lit without any bright spots.

[Moto Z Real Life Review] D13H4RD2L1V3:
Low-light performance is decent.

On the standard model with the 1/3" 13MP Sony Exmor IMX214, it has its limits, which seem to be tighter than phones like the Samsung Galaxy S7 and Google Pixel XL, but the wider f/1.8 aperture does help with letting more light in and OIS seems to be robust enough to handle handshakes until around a shutter speed of 1/8.

Photos tend to expose much brighter than they need to, which results in a bit more noise, so dialing it in with the exposure slider is recommended. The standard camera app includes a night mode that's enabled automatically based on conditions and overall, works quite well.

Overall, photos come out reasonably well, although exposure can sometimes land a bit too high, resulting in a bit more noise when left on its own. Photos also tend to have quite a bit of ISO noise but photo quality is overall quite solid, although it does require some user involvement.

The Moto Z performs quite decently in low-light and can even provide some nice shots with some coaxing and a steady hand, although options like the Google Pixel and the S7 may provide better overall performance. The larger 1/2.4" 21MP Sony IMX338 on the Z Force Droid Edition does provide better performance.
[Moto Z Real Life Review] shadowjin:
Low light it works okay, but to little little it does come out bad. I read in another place they recommend using HDR. I tend to leave it on and it has improved a lot of my low light pictures but most the time I turn on professional mode and mess with it. Seems like a hassle when inside a dark area like bar/club or indoors. Most are use to point and shooting a picture that messing with the controls feels like a hassle, but eventually you find a setting that works in that atmosphere and just go back to it.
[Moto Z Real Life Review] wilder_mason:
Not a very good low light camera. HDR helps though.

Takes a bit more than 1 sec to open the camera using double twist gesture. 1 sec if camera app is already open.

This is fine but not as fast as S7.

I feel like using the lockscreen shortcut would be faster.

[Moto Z Real Life Review] shakirajane:
The Moto Z also happens to be incredibly thin – allegedly the thinnest smartphone ever – but that comes with both a caveat, and some serious shortcomings when it comes to battery life. In the famous words of Jeff Goldblum, "Motorola was so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should". At least that’s how I think the quote went.

[Moto Z Real Life Review] MuyKurioso:
With the Incipio Mod, right? If else I'm assuming you're constantly on wifi. But it is an amazing SOT, considering the small battery. I come from a Moto Z Play and I thought I would miss it more in terms of battery life... But this little dude gives me around 5-6 of SOT with the battery mod, in 4G all the time. I do miss that if I fell asleep, when I woken up I didn't have to charge the phone, but I can live with it. Awesome battery life.

Well, I don't have a lot installed yet, though I don't game, or use social media apps, the big battery drainers.

A few texts, xda'ing and a little browsing is all I really do.

I bet it shrinks a little as I install more. Especially my Moto 360 stuff. That takes some juice for sure.

But I'm fairly impressed for such a small battery. I am still getting a battery mod though. :)
[Moto Z Real Life Review] zonkkk:
I get about 4h SOT when I unplug in the morning and use it throughout the day.

If I charge it in the evening and unplug it. The battery drains with a rate of about 1% / hour. So I start the day with under 90%.

I only get about 3-3.5h screen on time in that case.

I am on the latest Nougat Update and I don't have a battery mod.

It would be great if SoT would be better, would be good to know how average my discharge rates are.

2 | full | 0.07 | 7.40 | 1 | 1m46.706s | 1m46.706s

During the day the phone went to "light" doze mode only. Even if my SoT is around 2hr, doze is "off" for almost 7 hours. (so the phone is active for a lot more time than I'm actually using it.)

Hello there, I have a Brazilian version of XT-1650-003, I was running stock, unrooted, locked bootloader until I decided to test lineage OS, even worse battery life, so I flashed "XT1650-03_GRIFFIN_RETBR_NPL25.86-30_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC" using this tutorial here https://xdaforums.com/moto-z/help/installing-stock-rom-moto-z-t3617759, didnt work the first time because I was using a non RETBR rom, so I downloaded the right rom, flashed it again and tried to "fastboot oem lock", somehow got a bootloop, so I flashed the rom again, OTA until last version, no errors and great battery life so far.

Hope that helps!
[Moto Z Real Life Review] BengkelGawai:
Just to share, I struggled to reach 4 hours SoT before (unroot & locked), but now I can easily reach 5 hours mark after latest update which contain September security patch (same as above). Seems latest update is a good one.

I'm on the same latest firmware, but I have no better SoT, unfortunately. He got 6 hours with 3% remaining battery only, but I would love to have at least 4. Currently I barely have 2,5hours...
