Here's the Moto Z3 Play

 By Vaibhav Jain on April 01, 2018       

Rumors are making rounds over the internet regarding the upcoming mid-ranger from Motorola, but until now we haven't seen a clear look at the phone. But, that's going to change today, thanks to OnLeaks and KillerFeatures for leaking the clear renders of the Moto Z3 Play.

Looking at the images, it is pretty much clear that Motorola will be using the same metal and glass body with the Moto Z3 Play as well and the display is now 18:9 FullScreen, which is the first time we see it from Motorola. The Moto Z3 Play got a big 6.1-inch display.

At the heart of the phone, there will be a Snapdragon 636 SoC, coupled with 4GB of RAM options. Storage on the phones might go up to 64GB, according to previous rumors. As you can see in the images, the fingerprint sensor is built below the volume keys on the side of the devices in order to accomodate the Moto Mods and 18:9 Screen. And yes, there's no headphone Jack!!!

As per FCC listing the Z3 Play would feature a 12+8MP Dual Rear Cameras with 5MP Selfie shooter. Just like the Moto Z2 Play, the battery is 3000mAh.

Just a few days back, Motorola announced that they'll be sharing 2018 Moto Products in April 2018. Let's wait for Motorola's announcement!!! Thoughts?

KillerFeatures also revealed the potential specs amd pricing of the Moto G6 and G6 Play. The G6 would feature a 5.7" FHD Display, and 3,000mAh. G6 Play will have a 5.7" HD+ Display, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 450, 13MP Rear Camera, and Rear Facing Fingerprint Sensor.

The Moto G6 Play will go on sale for $199, while G6 will be priced in at around $249. Thoughts?

Motorola Posts Oreo Release Notes for the Moto Z Droid/Moto Z Force Droid

 By Vaibhav Jain on March 19, 2018       

Still waiting for the Android Oreo update for your Moto Smartphone? All we know at this point is that, yes, Motorola is testing Oreo on few Moto Z and Moto G phones. The company isn’t providing a timetable like it did earlier this year, though. That’s likely because it doesn’t want to give false hope and disappointment to their customers.

We think, it's time for Lenovo and Motorola to release the most awaited Android Oreo update for these Smartphones. If delayed more the users will eventually choose another brand or will end up Installing a custom firmware to update their devices.

Motorola just released Android Oreo Release Notes for the Moto Z Droid/Moto Z Force Droid Smartphones. Does that mean Motorola will push Android Oreo to the Moto Z Droid/Moto Z Force Droid any time soon? Well, we don't know, because we have already seen tons of Oreo based Release Notes in the past and still there's no sign of the update for Moto devices.

Android Oreo comes with numerous enhancements over Android Nougat, such as faster booting, new Settings and Quick-Settings UI, Picture in Picture (PIP), Adaptive icons, Autofill, Notification timeout, Motorola might also add several new features to the latest software update. Android 8.0 Oreo update for the Moto Z/ Force Droid would also feature the latest March 1st 2018 Security Patch, and Stability improvements.

This week’s employment reductions are a continuation of that process. We are reducing our Motorola operations in Chicago however this did not impact half of our workforce there and our Moto Z family will continue. - Motorola said to 9to5Google"
