Confession: We rely on our smartphones to do pretty much everything for us on a day-to-day basis, from keeping up with work emails to calling for Ubers. But just when we thought our mobile devices couldn't possibly make life any easier, Motorola announced its brand new Moto Z Droid smartphone.

Not only does the ultra-slim design make it the thinnest smartphone on the market to date, but the all-day battery life and built-in image optimization will help take your Instagram feed to the next level. But what's perhaps most innovative are the new "Moto Mods" that attach to your phone magnetically to transform the device into a full-blown entertainment powerhouse. Here, our picks for the coolest features.
