Lenovo launched the Moto Z 2017 just few months ago and now they are here with the Moto Z 2018. Lenovo launched it quietly in China to commemorate the 45th anniversary of the 1st phone made by Motorola. It is strange that Lenovo nor Motorola teased anything about this new smartphone. Even the device did not get leaked or a single rumour regarding it surfaced the internet.
