Two new Motorola mysterious devices leak

 By Felipe Berhau on June 17, 2016       

Motorola has been very active lately. Releasing the moto Z, moto G4, Play and Plus, now there's a rumored moto E, a moto X for this year and a Z Play. Seems that we will see more moto phones than ever before! 

Now, a Russian site has leaked the picture and specs of a new mysterious Motorola device. It makes us wonder how many phones will get this year, but this one seems really interesting: it's smaller than any new Motorola phone.

The new device leaked today, rumored as moto X3, comes with a 4.6" full HD screen, 32GB of on-board memory and 3GB of RAM, running a octa-core MediaTek processor clocked at 2.1GHz and a 15/7 MP camera (that will probably be 16/8MP set up).

The new Moto phone is one of the many to come later this year, or probably not so later this year. We have to say that we are very intrigued, and also for the other device that leaked today and we already talked about: moto Z Play. That lower end version of the moto Z will carry a Snapdragon 625 and have 3GB of RAM, on top of its modular design.

You can check the new Z Play HERE.

Moto Z Play specs confirmed

 By Felipe Berhau on June 16, 2016       

Attention, Motorola fans! A new mid-range modular phone is coming soon to you, or that's what at least has been leaked. Roland Quandt has tweeted the specs and a benchmark info preview of the upcoming Motorola Moto Z Play.

It should be noted that, even if the Motorola brand is less visible now, the phones are still designed and manufactured by Motorola Mobility, so formally, the Moto Z Play is a Motorola device. Other than that, several specs have leaked, including its Android version (6.0.1), its model number (XT1635) and its power specs.



This includes a Snapdragon 625 (octa-core, 2GHz) and a 3GB of RAM memory, pointing out to it being a mid-range version of the new Z flagships. 

HelloMotoHK had already leaked an upcoming Z Play device, so it seems rumors are real and it will come out by the time the other ones are released.

Motorola launches five new wearables!

 By Felipe Berhau on June 15, 2016       

Motorola's new wearable line was just launched in the UK and NYC yesterday, and we got some details to show you! VerveLife by Motorola is the official name of the device line and it will be available very soon in Europe, India and the USA. All the specs and pictures can be seen here.

Motorola's audio team has been working hard into releasing a wireless, water-proof and wearable collection. Now under Binatone Global, the company that bought the Motorola Mobility accessories division last year, the devices are ready.

VerveLife is for fitness lovers. All the devices connect to an Android or iOS app that will tell you where your wearable is, the battery left it's got, and will allow you to change music setting, or, in the case of the camera wearables, you will be able to share or stream your videos to most popular social networks.

This range includes five bluetooth headphones: Ones, Ones+, Loop+, Rider+, Rider. Its price ranges will be from $79 to $249. The high end model are the in-ear, similar to Moto Hint, Verve Ones, which give you 12 hours of battery life and a futuristic form factor in a water-resistant body.

Then there's a camera, similar to the GoPro, that will be water proof and have the ability to stream live. This will be available soon, though it won't be initially available. The headphones are coming this same week!

You can see from the packaging that these will carry the Motorola brand. Binatone is very happy with its Motorola accessories division, and is even creating Instagram, Twitter and Facebook accounts for these devices. We think they come in a good time: Samsung has not yet released their Gear wearable bluetooth devices for this year and Verve's design and functionality is way ahead. So hopefully they become a success. Plus, they say we will see more later this year! Let's hope it's a Motorola smart band!

 By Felipe Berhau on June 14, 2016       

The new Motorola fitness accessories are almost here! As we pointed out some time ago, Motorola Mobility sold its accessories division to Binatone Global last year, so the new devices will continue to carry the Motorola brand and be developed by the original Motorola audio team.

VerveLife is a new range of fitness-oriented devices. They will sync with a dedicated app that will tell you the battery left the device has and will allow you to change music EQ settings. The new wearable devices are very interesting, coming in different models and prices.

Motorola MotoMods pricing revealed

 By Felipe Berhau on June 13, 2016       

Pricing for the upcoming Motorola MotoMods have been revealed! Now that the moto Z news storm is over, people have time to investigate unannounced moto Z news. Well, a Reddit user just got a glimpse of the prices for the new MotoMods.

The new mods will certainly be a bit expensive. Starting with the Insta Projector which enables your phone to be a projector and has built-in battery that won't affect your phone's juice, it will be priced at 300 dollars. That's more expensive than a moto G4 Plus!

The projector does seem expensive, but the moto Z might have a competitive price, so it may probably be worth it. The Reddit user also points out that the prices for the powerpack mod and its wireless powerpack will be $89 and $99 respectively.

This prices might not yet be final and they might be lower by its release date. We still have not been told the price for the phones so let's hope they are similar to last year's moto X Style.

Moto X is not dead, might be a new one soon

 By Felipe Berhau on June 11, 2016       

Motorola just said that moto X is alive and doing well!

Motorola reached to Android Police with a statement saying they are not killing its flagship line to replace it with moto Z. Instead, there might be two high end lines, one being the Z and the other one the X. It's interesting to read this news because it was rumored that they would replace the X with the new phones announced yesterday. Seems not! Here is what Motorola has to say:

Moto X is alive and well. In fact, Moto X Force recently launched in multiple new markets around the world. Moto X and Moto Z do share some great qualities, but they ultimately provide different experiences and make our portfolio more robust for consumers looking for the perfect smartphone to fit their needs. Tech-hungry consumers who are looking to get a brand new set of experiences from their smartphone will turn to Moto Z and Moto Mods.

As you know, Moto X has been Motorola's flagship line for three years and has won the hearts of many. That won't change. While the moto Z will be a beautiful premium phone, moto X might continue to be the challenger for Android fans. HellomotoHK also said recently that there would be a moto X Style 2, so we have to wait and see what comes later this year.

There will be a moto 360 line, a moto E, moto G, moto X and moto Z, and also a Droid line. It's been a long time since Motorola released so many phones, so it will be interesting to see what the future brings!

Moto Z and Force Don’t Have Headphone Jacks

 By Vaibhav Jain on June 10, 2016       

Lenovo has finally announced the Iconic Motorola Moto Z and Moto Z Force . Both the Smartphone comes with similar Specifications .



We have seen the whole Smartphone and noticed something unusual , The Smartphone doesn't have a "Headphone Jack" .

You might be wondering ? Why ? Then How will one attach headphones ? 



The answer is , Both the Smartphones comes with USB Type C , so their audio-out happens through those. The Smartphone might come with a USB Type C earphones . 

Also Both phones will come with usb to 3.5mm jack adapter in the box. USB is the future for audio, 3.5 jack will die slowly
