INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
The Moto Z3 is poised to feature an always-changing design thanks to its Moto Mod add-ons, but the Moto Z series release date appears to be
relatively unchanged from year-to-year.It's going to happen on Thursday August 2, according to a launch event invite sent to
TheIndianSubcontinent and other media outlets today
At least, we think it's for the new Moto Z3
Last year's event happened in late July.All we know is that this year's event will happen at 2PM CDT (4pm EDT, 1pm PDT, 9pm BST) that day in
Motorola's home city, Chicago, and it'll take place at the company's famed downtown headquarters.You can view the 'Hello Chicago: August 2'

So far, we see no hints about the device, or anything that points to Moto Z3.The video description simply says: "Mark your calendar
Say 'hello' to a whole new way to connect, stream, download, video chat, and more
Are you ready"TheIndianSubcontinent will be there covering the launch event in person
It's time to break out the Moto Z3 rumors and prepare for the next-generation of Moto Mods.Why Moto Z3 may be a big dealThis is the first
big Moto flagship phone launch event to happen in Chicago since we covered the Moto X 2014 in 2014
Motorola is putting weight behind the Moto Z3.It's opening up its headquarters to media outlets, just like it did when it launched the 2nd
Gen Moto X and the original Moto 360 smartwatch four years ago
If there's ever a chance that Motorola will make a big splash in 2018, this is it.There are no rumors about a Moto smartwatch running
Google's Wear OS software
Motorola could make news with more than one phone announcement
We're also waiting on Moto One Power and a better Moto X4 sequel (maybe the Moto X5) to be revealed.We're expecting the Moto Z3 to make some
significant changes to the Z series, too
The last two versions of the phone, Moto Z2 Force and Moto Z and Moto Z Force, haven't changed very much in terms of design
We're at the vert least due for an all-screen display that keeps up with the times, just we've seen on the Moto Z3 Play, which was announced
last month.The fact that we're anticipating a big refresh and a launch event at Motorola's headquarters is only good news for people holding
out for the Moto Z3.
