OnePlus has officially announced the OnePlus 3T, which is an upgrade over the OnePlus 3. The Device will be available from November 22.
The OnePlus 3T is exactly same as the OnePlus 3, but with few updated Specs which includes a Snapdragon 821 processor, 16MP front-facing camera and a 3,400mAh battery. The 3T has also got new color options i.e. Gunmetal and Soft Gold. Check out full specs of OnePlus 3T The Device is priced at $439, which is $40 more than OnePlus 3 orignal price. The 128GB model is priced at $479, which doesn’t seem bad at all.
The following pictures come from Instagram user @sunniton, who posted the first hands-on high quality pictures of the Moto M. His pictures will give you an idea of how shiny and cool the device looks.
Motorola's M was introduced last week in China with 4 gigs of RAM, a 16MP camera, a 5.5" 1080p screen and a rear fingerprint scanner. The front looks like a Moto G while its back is a mixture of Moto G4/E3 series.
It's also the first Motorola phone since 2011's Atrix to feature the batwing logo on the bottom of its back, rather than its center. Although we'd have loved the batwing to be put over the fingerprint scanner, it's nice to see new design elements/changes.
According to the photos @sunniton posted, Moto M will come with a screen protector, just like Moto E3 does, a couple user guides and its charger + USB cable.
We still have no info about its release outside China, though we are hoping it's released before the holiday season. It could be a tough contender for the mid-range market.

Our Motorola Connect Coin has just arrived! The new smart tag from Binatone, the new owner of the Motorola Accessories division, promises to be a very handy little device. We were curious to see what it would come with and how it worked, so here's our unboxing and first impressions of the device.
The front of the box has a clear window to the product and shows the dedicated app, which will let you sync and set-up your Coin with your phone. This will let you use your Coin as a multimedia button and will also let you send alerts to your beloved ones if you are in danger. It will let you find your keys/bag/purse straight from the app, too.
The back of the box shows all its main features, like replaceable battery, 300 days of standby, and a range of 100 feet. It will also show you motorolahome.com as official website, not motorola.com, since accessories are not made by the Lenovo-owned Motorola Mobility. All home products and mobile accessories are sold on the Motorola Home website.
As you would expect, the box comes with very little inside. What you see is what you get, in the end. Yes, there are some user guides, a small tool to replace the battery, and a little Connect Coin pendant, but nothing else.
Finally, the product itself, in all its glory. The Coin is small, compact and light. Our unit is black, though there's a wide variety of colors available. It comes with the classic Motorola dimple and feels very premium quality. It's wide notification light is bright and will be useful after paired with the dedicated app.
Overall, it's a pretty impressive device. It's just so little! We will keep testing it to see how useful it is, but our early impressions are very good. Hellomoto indeed!

Remember we talked about a phone some weeks ago? It could either be 2017's Moto X, the next-gen Moto-M or the upcoming Moto C (HelloMotoHK leaked the roadmap names, remember?).
What we have here is a render we made ourselves to give you a better look of this upcoming device, which potentially looks like the Moto X 2017. We already know it's an all-metal phone, with a similar camera set-up to the Moto Z series (even the flat tire). Check it out:
The device kind of reminds us of the original Droid Turbo/Moto Turbo/Moto Maxx from 2014, and it actually looks pretty good. We don't have much specs for the device, although we know it will have a front fingerprint scanner like Moto Z has and will come in Silver and Gold color, from the size of the hands in the leaked picture it comes with a small-ish screen, most likely a 5.2" screen or less.
Whatever device it is, it sure looks like 2017 will be an interesting year for Moto. Note:- The render is based on what our source told us and the above leaked Image, the actual design may vary.
Flip phones. Who doesn't love them? They represent the 2000s to us, and they represent the best of Motorola to us, crazy Moto fans. These phones have something special, that we can't tell what it is. Feeling cool while closing the flip, pretending to make calls just to open it, and open-close it until the phone begs you to stop. It's just an awesome feeling.
That's why this is one of my most beloved pieces from my collection. This is the 2012 MotoSmart Flip (XT611). This phone was a Latin American exclusive in the middle of the storm, after Google acquired Motorola and started firing everyone and cancelling awesome projects. This device was lucky to see the light and it became the last Motorola flip phone EVER.
The phone looks amazing, though it was totally under-powered. A 3.2" screen (HVGA), 800MHz processor and 512MB of RAM. And you could only install 5-6 apps, otherwise it would give you an annoying no-memory notification (unless you rooted it and installed Link2SD, remember those days?).
(forgive my 2012 English-level...it's a really old video)
It came with an awful 5MP camera and its wifi connection was slower than any other device ever released. But it was an freaking Android-powered flip phone. Its external glass, similar to the MotoMING, or (Krave ZN4 for our American friends) let you use the phone with the flip closed so you could take pictures, listen to music or read text messages. It was such an awesome feature alone that all the drawbacks seemed to disappear.
I always go back to the Smart Flip when I'm feeling nostalgic, but then I power it on and remember it's a Gingerbread phone running on 512MB of RAM. That's when I remember why I didn't come back to using it the last time, and I put it away.
But it sure lies in my collection as one of my finest pieces. It's the last flip phone Motorola ever released. Who knows, maybe Lenovo asks Moto to release another flip phone one day. Many people will be happy when that happens. Until then, I will cherish this little, under-powered gem.
OnePlus 3 users will be getting Android 7.0 Nougat (Beta community build) this month, as said by Brian Yoon, the software head at OnePlus. Also Read:- OnePlus CEO Teases Android 7.0 Nougat update for the OnePlus 3 Not only OnePlus 3, but OnePlus will also update the OnePlus 2 to Android Nougat very soon. Yoon didn't say anything about the OnePlus X and OnePlus One, so it might be possible that OnePlus might ditch these two smartphones.
As said earlier, OnePlus will now merge Oxygen OS and Hydrogen OS for faster updates and it seems that "Android 7.0 Nougat" is going to be a fruit of the same. The reports also say that OnePlus will roll out Official build of Android 7.x Nougat for OnePlus 3 by the end of this year.
Instagram has introduced three new features to make your stories even more fun, which includes support for Boomerang and mentions. The new update contains a new tool called "Boomerang", which converts your burst photosinto a mini video clip that plays forward and backward.
"Mention" feature allows users to mention people into the story by using "@" followed by a username and select the person you’d like to mention. The last feature is exclusive to "verified accounts" which lets them to include links to their blogs or websites. At the end of certain Stories, you may see a "see more" link. The new update is available as Instagram version 9.7. Grab it:- Play store
Google might bring back "Night mode" to Nexus Smartphones. The feature was removed earlier after Android 7.0.1 beta update. According to Ian Lake from Google: "Night mode requires driver support that is no present on Nexus devices".
But it seems that Google must have heard Angry Nexus users (As They want the Night mode back) because today someone at Google has marked the issue as "closed" with a status of "FutureRelease". Google might include the "Night mode" feature in future Beta update for Nexus 6P and 5X.

Get excited, world. Moto is here. That's what Motorola's latest campaign says. And we should be excited, indeed. HellomotoHK has now leaked the names of all the upcoming devices for the next year.
This includes the typical Moto G, Moto Z, Moto E devices we've seen this year, and those series might be split into Play, Force, Droid and Plus editions. The list also includes the newly announced Moto M series and the iconic Moto X series, which might make a comeback next year. There's also a Moto C, and we feel that name screams low-end smartphone. The full list shows these devices:
Moto Z - Motorola
Moto X - Lenovo
Moto M - Lenovo
Moto G - Motorola / Lenovo
Moto E - Lenovo / ODM
Moto C - Lenovo / ODM
From what we can tell, the Motorola team will be in charge of designing and engineering the Moto Z and Moto G series as always, though the other devices will be handled by Lenovo teams. Everything will be under Motorola Mobility, the company, though. Since late 2015, Motorola has been in charge of designing and manufacturing all the Lenovo MBG devices and this remains.
HellomotoHK also said yesterday's Moto M is in fact a Lenovo project. But from the packaging leaks from previous weeks you can see it says the phone was made by Motorola Mobility. Too hard to understand? Here is a shorter explanation: all Moto phones are still manufactured by Motorola Mobility, though Lenovo teams are working inside Motorola to create the new Moto X, Moto M, Moto E and Moto C devices. Why so many devices? That's because Moto(rola) will be the only Lenovo brand for smartphones from now on.
As for the Moto 360? Well, we know smartwatches haven't been as successful as expected. HellomotoHK said in the comments section that Motorola might sell that business or license the brand rights for watches next year. Knowing Motorola sold its accessories division last year to Binatone, that could possibly be the new home for Moto 360 devices, though nothing is confirmed.
Last month, OnePlus released Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow for the OnePlus X. Now company is rolling out the latest November Security patch to the device.
This new update i.e. OxygenOS 3.1.4 contains many bug fixes and stability improvements along with November Security patch. The update has available to everyone right now!

As rumored earlier, Lenovo is ditching its own brand for all future handsets. Instead, it will be using "Moto" as its only brand for future. The reports also says that the Company is replacing Xudong Chen as co-president and SVP of Lenovo’s Mobile Business Group in China, with Gina Qiao, formerly SVP of human resources.
And it would also mean we won't see "Vibe" or "Phab" phones in the future. Everything might turn into Moto G, E, Z and so on.
