I was more impressed with call transmission quality, because noise cancellation in the microphone is just terrific. But the volume is powerful, both on the earpiece and the speakerphone. It definitely punches through background noise, but I found that it rendered my voice rather nasal (and my voice certainly doesn't need help in that regard). The Moto Z phones have a loud, harsh earpiece tone when making phone calls. But the USB-C port doesn't look protected, so I wouldn't use it while the phone is wet. After drying it off, it was no worse for wear. You could see the phone's coating repelling the water, and no liquid got under the magnetic back. To test water resistance, I poured an eight-ounce glass of water onto the phone. The magnetic back flew off, and the phone's metal bezel got a noticeable silvery gouge in it, but the screen remained intact. To test ShatterShield, I dropped the phone twice from three feet onto rough concrete, and once onto tile. The Z Force is also water-resistant, but not fully waterproof you can spill things on it, but you can't dunk it. It can scratch, though, and you'll have to live with scratches.

It measures 6.14 by 2.98 by 0.27 inches (HWD) and weighs 5.74 ounces. The Moto Z Force Droid is a big slab of glass and metal, with a multilayer shatterproof plastic-and-glass front and a black stainless steel back. That makes the Moto Z Force Droid our Editors' Choice for smartphones on Verizon. They're both excellent, but as with the Samsung Galaxy S7 and the Galaxy S7 Edge, we recommend the slightly larger model with the bigger battery. Its sibling, the Moto Z Droid, is slimmer and costs $100 less, but has a smaller battery and lacks the super-tough screen. With a big battery, a nearly unbreakable screen, and a selection of useful removable backs, it's the phone to buy on Verizon Wireless right now.
