Hasselblad True Zoom Camera

The Hasselblad True Zoom doesn't feature a tripod socket, something that would make this much more useful for photographers. This is something that is available on the Sony QX range, and gives your smartphone a tripod socket. The QX range also has a...

The 10x optical zoom is incredible (for a phone) ; Better image quality than your phone’s camera ; Works with pretty much all camera apps ; Nice shutter button and grip ; Powerful Xenon flash

Really expensive ; Doesn’t improve your phone’s front-facing camera

Companies keep trying to take mobile photography to the next level with camera add-ons like Hasselblad’s True Zoom, but they’re always too expensive to be worth considering.

The Moto Mods add-on architecture is an intelligent way to add a camera and the Hasselblad True Zoom is attractive, well designed and adds a convenient 10x zoom

The camera software can be annoying and it's hard to control framing when zoomed all the way in, especially for moving subjects. The video quality isn't great, either

If you take a lot of photos and have a Motorola Moto Z phone, the Hasselblad is a great add-on to have, as long as you're looking for a big zoom instead of better-than-phone photo quality.

Offers OIS for photos, EIS for video. 10x optical zoom is fantastic, shoots RAW DNG format, plenty of manual options.

No way to retain settings. Colours seem a bit washed out over the default Moto Z camera. Pulls from phone battery.

The Hasselblad True Zoom mod is not for everyone. While it misses out on a few essential features (like aperture control or better aperture to begin with), it does get the zoom bit right. The optical image stabilisation keeps things blur-free even at...

With a hefty price tag of $300 is it really worth it? Its a hard price to swallow especially if you just spent $400 on the recent Moto Z Play. Like I said on a good bright day outside the photos can come out gorgeous looking but even at those times its...

10x optical zoom

As expensive as a decent point-and-shoot, but less capable ; Generally takes worse pictures than the built-in camera

It does what it says it does, but not very well, and there are quite a few serious drawbacks. For the price, a point-and-shoot camera will give you a lot more.
