Moto Z 2017 Could Be Powered by Snapdragon 835 Processor
The next Moto Z will be called the Moto Z2, to no one's surprise. This is according to the ever-reliable Mobile tipster Evan Blass, who revealed this morsel of detail on Twitter.
The tech insider did not provide any other details about the device except that the next-generation Moto Z will indeed find its way to the market soon.

In showing off its Gamepad Moto Mod at the Mobile World Congress (MWC), the company had it attached to an unannounced device believed to be the new Moto Z.
Sprint also appears to have made use of the Moto Z2 in showing off its brand-new Gigabit Class Long-Term Evolution (LTE) speeds. Despite all this, there is no confirmation of the Moto Z2 from Motorola or its parent company, Lenovo.
As for its specifications and what it has to offer, the only feature being attached to it right now is that it will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor.
This should allow Motorola to go toe to toe with its competitors. At the moment, there are only two confirmed flagships to boast the chipset — the Samsung Galaxy S8 and the Sony Xperia XZ Premium.
The Xiaomi Mi 6, set for release this week, is expected to sport the same processor. If that will be the case, the Moto Z2 will be the fourth device to utilize the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor.
CNET believes that the Moto Z2 will still come with the Moto Mods. The site says that how it fares in the mobile world will make or break the feature.
Motorola is intent on supporting Moto Mods by releasing a dozen each year. In doing so, the next-gen Moto Z is expected to be part of this effort.
