Polaroid's new $200 Moto Mod turns your phone into an instant camera

Instagram addicts may now have a new reason to give Motorola's Moto Z another look.

Polaroid and Motorola have teamed up on a new Moto Mod for the company's Z series of phones. The Polaroid Insta-Share Printer is an instant camera accessory that turns the Moto Z into a tiny photo printer.

It clips onto the back of the phone and connects to the Moto Z's camera (the Mod also has a dedicated shutter button to make snapping photos even easier) to turn the phone into a tiny Polaroid camera.

You can also use the accessory to print out photos you've already taken, like your favorite Instagram shots and other pics you have stored on your phone. Speaking of Instagram, the Polaroid Mod has an accompanying app that will let you add text and filters to your pics before you print them.

The convenience doesn't come cheap, though. At $199, the Polaroid Moto Mod is significantly pricier than Polaroid's OneStep 2 camera and other standalone instant cameras.

Though we've noted before that Motorola's Z line stands out as one of the best implementations of modular phones, many of its Moto Mods, which include a mobile projector, Alexa-enabled speaker, and 360-degree camera, require a significant investment in addition to the price of the phone.

Still, if you have a Moto Z and love the idea of printing your photos, it could be worth it to get the Mod so you don't have to carry around an additional camera.
