The Motorola Accessories division, now under new owner, Binatone Global, seems to be on a roll. We talked about the Motorola Coin yesterday, but now we have something else to show you: the new Pulse Max color versions!

Yeah, it might not be as exciting as yesterday's wearable device, but hey...there are three new colors for the Pulse Max, making it five available colors. The new versions will come in blue, red, and purple.

The Motorola Pulse Max features a 40nm driver, according to Motorola Accessories, and its earheadphones isolate ambient sound. Plus, it's light and its ear cups rotate. The Max was released in India and the UK some time ago, and it's reaching more countries in Europe, Latin America and Asia right now. No word on US availability, though.

Here are the individual pictures of each color. Which one will you choose?

Girl buys a house by selling out 20 iPhones given by her 20 boyfriends

 By Vaibhav Jain on November 01, 2016       

It's all started with a Chinese women who convinced her 20 boyfriends (Yes 20, IDK how she made so many) that she had been dating to buy her the recently launched iPhone 7. 

She then sold all the 20 iPhone 7 at Chinese mobile phone recycling site "Hui Shou Bao" for around $17,500. She used that money as a downpayment for a house.


The Girl broke the news of "How she bought this home" infront of her co-workers during a house welcoming party. One of the co-worker then shared the same on Chinese social media. This story seems legit as the Mobile phone recycling site has confirmed that it had indeed sold 20 iPhones from a single person recently.

We are quite sure: the girl not only broke her 20 boyfriend's heart, but also broke the whole Internet after this story went viral and had been shared more than 13 million times on Chinese Social media.

Motorola's awesome new Ad

 By Felipe Berhau on October 30, 2016       

Motorola just uploaded a new video to promote the Moto Z and its MotoMods platform. The new minute long ad is actually very cool, featuing classic Motorola elements like the iconic "Hellomoto" phrase, the batwing being shown everywhere, and platinum blonde models that remind us of those old MotoRazr ads. 

The ad talks about how innovative the Moto Z is in a world where innovation had been stuck since 2007. Check it out here:

The colorful ad even gives Motorola some recognition at the end of it, saying "Moto branded products are designed and manufactured by Motorola", a Lenovo subsidiary. This hadn't been shown since Lenovo's integration of Motorola. 



But it seems that after ten months since the rebranding strategy and a new visual identity, they saw it's the opportunity to clarify that Motorola and its iconic elements (Motorola logo, hellomoto phrase, and so on) are here to stay.
