Motorola Rizr Z8 (stylised RIZR Z8, pronounced as "riser"), also known as Motorola Moto Z8, is a 3G smartphone developed by Motorola announced in February 2007 and released in July 2007 becoming the company's flagship smartphone in European and Asian markets. The Z8 runs Symbian OS (9.2) with the UIQ 3.1 interface, although it does not have a touchscreen as per usual for UIQ. It was also Motorola's first device running Symbian in several years.
The Z8 is notable for having a unique variant of the slider form factor that has been referred to as "kick-slider", and less frequently as "banana". It has an extra hinge that curves so as to conform to user's face. The phone was succeeded by Motorola Rizr Z10 in 2008 which continued this same form factor.
