Motorola VERVElife coming June 14th

 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.




Starting tomorrow, you will be able to buy the new Motorola accessories on Amazon in the USA, UK, Mexico and some European countries. The higher end VerveOnes and Ones+ come with a similar design to the Moto Hint+ and a similar charging method. The Ones+ will be water resistant and its price will be $249.

Other devices include the VerveLoop+ ($79), VerveRider and Rider+ ($69 and $79 respectively). Overall, it's a nice new range and we hope Binatone keeps making other Motorola accessories (hopefully a smart fitness band!). Here's the AMAZON link so you can check it out.


Here are some promo pics: 

Lenovo K5 launches in India at a very low price!

 By Felipe Berhau on June 13, 2016       

Lenovo has launched its K5 phone, introduced earlier this year. The phone will be available in India exclusively through Amazon, which is also the partner for other Lenovo products. In case you forgot about the phone, it's got a metal design and a 5" 720p screen, also offering Dolby sound and a 13/5MP camera set up. All of that is powered by a Snapdragon 415 SoC.

Although not yet available, the Lenovo phone will be available on June 22nd and you can register now. It's price will be very competitive. Remember it comes with an HD screen and Dolby sound, yet Lenovo revealed its price of INR 6,999. It's actually an insane price, and a very good deal. Hopefully they can do the same magic for the next Motorola Moto E...

Other specs for the phone include a 7.9mm body, a 2750mAH battery, 2GB of RAM and runs Android 5.1 lollipop, so hopefully Lenovo can update it to Android 6.0.1 soon.

More and more manufacturers are choosing the Amazon route, so it will be interesting to see what can Flipkart and others do to attract costumers and manufacturers.

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

But we will not be able to use headphones while charging ( due to same port ) .

Countdown: one day to moto Z

 By Felipe Berhau on June 08, 2016       

The new Motorola flagship is coming tomorrow. Are you ready?

We can't deny that we love Motorola. It's the company that invented the phone and while other companies have disappeared during the past years, Moto always finds ways to reinvent itself. That being said, here are two new leaks of the Moto Z. 

The first new picture suggests the phone will be very thin and shows the date of the event. Other than that, you can see the camera bumping out of the phone, as rumored. You can also se there's a new button layout and it's a fully metal phone.

The second picture shows both Lenovo's and Motorola logos and it also shows the 16 pins the phone will have to connect its innovative modular system. The bottom of the picture shows the TechWorld date for tomorrow.

The phone will be announced tomorrow at Lenovo Tech World 2016. Here is a live stream to watch the event.

We are really excited for what's to come in the Moto world. Fans are also very excited. We will be covering everything so stay tuned to our page! Until then, TTYL.

Moto G Play coming to India!

 By Felipe Berhau on June 06, 2016       

The new budget phone from Motorola is coming to India soon!

Zauba, a known import site for technology, is showing some information about the new Moto G Play being imported into the big country. As you can see from the picture, model XT1607 was imported to India along with the regular moto G Plus.

Moto G Play (or G4 Play) is a budget version of the new moto G line, rumored to replace the moto E and come at a very competitive price. As you can see from the picture, the per unit value will be of 6800 INR, but its final price will be a little higher, but still under 10000 INR.

Moto G Play comes with a 5.0" HD display, rocks an 8/5MP set up, comes with 2GB of RAM and the Motorola Mobile Computing System SoC (with a Snapdragon 410). We can't be sure yet about availability, but it might be pretty soon, probably at the end of June or during the first weeks of July, along with the regular G4 (not the Plus one). Since the Plus was an Amazon Exclusive, we can guess that the other ones will not be and might also be on Flipkart, so we have to wait and see.

Galaxy Note 6 LEAK!

 By Felipe Berhau on June 06, 2016       

Samsung might call it 6 or 7 but now we have a render of it!

Reliable Twitter leaker @Onleaks has just posted a picture of the new Galaxy Note phone for this year. Some rumors say that Samsung might call it Galaxy Note 7 instead of 6, because people might get confused that there is an S7 and a Note 6, so it's understandable to have both flagship phones named the same.

Other than that, its dimensions have leaked too and they seem to be a bit smaller than last year's note. This one will be 153x74.5x7.8mm, making it pretty thin. Other than that very little is known, but you can see in the picture that this is the Edge version, so it will have the innovative display tech again this year.

The phone is rumored to come in August to compete with the new iPhones. We will keep updating you about new Note leaks as soon as they come out.

New Nexus 2016 by Huawei?

 By Felipe Berhau on June 04, 2016       

Because one is not enough...

Huawei just revealed through a conversation with a general manager of their company that they will be making the nexus device this year. They went on to say that it's a nice product to make but that it never sells well. This is something very true. Android fans always love the nexus phones, but in reality other high-end phones outsell them every single year.

But what's interesting is that HTC is also releasing the nexus phones this year. Two of them, actually, so we don't know if Huawei means this year or next year. Last year's nexus 6P was made by them, so it's a possibility that they will make it again this year, given the praise the 6P got. So we will have to wait and see...maybe we even get three nexus phones this year!

Introducing the new Motorola Camera

 By Felipe Berhau on June 03, 2016       

Motorola Mobility just released its new camera app...

It's the same app found on the Moto G4 series, which is an improved version over the old camera app. Called the Moto Camera, it brings all the new features and modes of the new G4, and it's so different from last year's cam!

For starters, it comes with a shutter button, and the UI is not as simple or minimalistic as before. You now have more options: photo, professional photo, slow-mo video, panorama and video mode. In addition, if you do a multi-shot, the phone will recognize the best picture and show it to you. It brings QR reader, shutter speed and ISO settings, and it's integrated into Google Photos gallery. So no more Motorola stock gallery app. Now it's more of a Google experience. 

The new app will be available for 2016 Moto phones here.

Breaking News: OnePlus 3, Amazon Exclusive?

 By Felipe Berhau on June 03, 2016       

OnePlus just teased their newest phone as coming soon to India...

The new OnePlus 3 is coming on June 14th and it's shaping up to be quite an exciting device. It will come in 4/6GB versions, a new aluminum body design, with a front fingerprint scanner and a 5.5" 1080p screen. OnePlus is now teasing its launch event, which will be in 11 days. 

But one little thing we notice in the video they posted, is that it will be an Amazon exclusive device. As we told you yesterday, OnePlus will drop the invite system forever so you will now be able to buy the OnePlus the regular way. Buyers from India will also be happy that they will be able to buy it immediately on Amazon.

Are you ready for the new 1+3?
