Every figure above is copied from the document we hold for Motorola Moto Z and is repeated in the table on this page, in the same field order used by every other sheet in the specification index. A blank row means the figure was never published, not that the phone lacks the feature; a price, where one is shown, is the launch list price we recorded and is not tracked afterwards. To read this model against another, open the comparison page, and see how we work for what a desk score does and does not mean.
