Motorola announces new Moto Mod with a snap-on Polaroid printer

Motorola has announced the latest Moto Mod for its Moto Z’s line-up which includes a snap-on Polaroid Insta-Share Printer. Aside from printing photos from the phone’s camera roll, users can also print pictures from platforms such as Facebook, Google Photos and Instagram. Unfortunately, customers are likely to find the phone a little bulky which means you might not be able to slip it in your pocket easily. Users will be able to customise the pictures with filters, text and borders, which may end up defeating the purpose of using instant cameras.
