We all know that Motorola is due to announce three Smartphones including the Moto X4, Moto G5S, and Moto G5S Plus. We have already seen the renders of all these Smartphones, and now Thanks to Evan Blass, we have another set of renders showing off the Moto G5S Plus in all three colors.

Here is the Nokia 8, Again!!!

 By Vaibhav Jain on July 30, 2017       

As we inch closer to the August 16 and the unveiling of the Nokia 8, the leaks are flowing steadily. Today we have another set of Images showing off the upcoming Nokia 8 (Copper-Gold variant) from different angles.

As you can see in the below image, the Nokia 8 is wrapped up in a transparent plastic package. Again, the back of the device is having dual-cameras with Zeiss optics. Talking about the front it seems that HMD is sticking with physical keys and larger display bezels for the Nokia 8.

If you ask me, the device do looks great from the back, but the front is really disappointing. Don't know why only Samsung and LG, so far, seems to have gone all in on killing off bezels. With these huge bezels, we don't think that the Nokia 8 will be able to even touch the standards of Galaxy S8, LG G6, and the upcoming Pixel 2.

According to previous leaks, the phone will be priced tad higher. The phone may cost 589 euros (675 USD/ 43500 INR), which would be a steep price considering the trademark of Nokia.

The Nokia 8 is said to come with a 5.7-inch 2K, Snapdragon 835 SoC, 4GB of RAM, 64GB internal storage. It will be available in blue, steel (silver), Gold / blue, and gold / copper color options.

Motorola's upcoming Moto X4 will reportedly be less expensive than we thought.

If you recall, Motorola released three generations of the Mid-ranged Moto X- the Moto X, Moto X2, Moto X Play and the Moto X Style. And, it's no wonder that Motorola is looking to resume the product portfolio by launching the Moto X4.

There have been several reports that the upcoming Moto X4 could be expensive due to a number of hardware changes, including a 3D curved glass, dual-cameras, IP68 ratings, and more.

According to the latest report from Roland Quandt, the Moto X4 32GB variant will likely cost 350 Euro (₹26000/$400), which is really a good price. As always, these reports are speculative, and we won't know the price of the device 'til Motorola wants us to.

Going with previous reports, the Moto X4 will feature a 5.2-inch Full HD glass layered with 3D glass on top. It will be powered by the Snapdragon 630 chipset (eight cores all running at 2.2GHz) along with 4GB of RAM and 32/64GB of internal storage. The device will sport a 3000mAh battery.

The Moto X4 will be the first smartphone after 2016, to feature IP68 level of certification. Moto X4 features 8-megapixel and 12-megapixel rear shooters, along with a 16-megapixel selfie cam up front.

Will you buy the Moto X4 if priced 350 Euro?
