It's possible, but I highly doubt it. They seemed pretty adamant a few years back that they were done with the watch business.I'm also interested to see if they unveil a new Moto 360 smartwatch. Finally getting rid of the flat tire, maybe?
Based on the latest rumors, we will see a new Moto Z3...(something, maybe a Force or maybe a plain Z3) partnered with Verizon with a 5G Moto Mod that would allow the 4G phone to connect and work in 5G towers. That's just a rumor, but it's what I believe will be announced today. That, and maybe their new Motorola One phone. But since the One phone probably won't work in the US, that may be a different release from their Brazil offices, sometime later.

I don't feel like a "5G upgradeable" phone is all that....why doesn't that come standard, as I assume it will with other phones coming out?
And something tells me it will never work as well as those phones for which it is originally and deeply integrated in the software/hardware.

I'm sure it will not work quite as good as built-in 5G technology.
But if the 4G to 5G switch is like it was from 3G to 4G none of our current phones will be upgrade-able.
Here's the info on the Z3.

If I read the article correctly all Moto Z phones will be 5g compatible because of the mod. But the specs on the Z3 seem a little sub-par even though it's close to most of the other flagship phones (S9 & G7). At least it has a reasonable price tag.

TBH, I'm not sure why I would need 5G (have heard it may not penetrate buildings as well as 4G does). And as long as I can get 20mbps+ tethering, I really don't need more.
Plus, it sounds like VZW is going to target home broadband....and probably cable tv.... for it's 5G service more than mobile (which makes sense, see above). But before I go out and buy a new phone, it gives you pause that VZW could offer some pretty good bundled deals for mobile and home broadband (and they already partner with Comcast).
Comcast currently sells bundles with VZW mobile for like $40 a month for unlimited everything (throttled after 22GB or whatever). But then I give-up my unlimited plan, and am locked into Comcast when they start gouging me on the post-promo cable pricing. No thanks.

I have read that also, it may not be as good inside buildings as 4G.
None of us probably need 5G right now. But Verizon wants to be the first to roll it out Nationwide. Like all the carriers do. This is their cahnce to say they helped with the first 5G enabled phone.
