Android N Nougat for Motorola Moto X 2nd Gen 2014 : News , Release date and more

 By Felipe Berhau on July 05, 2016       

Motorola released the Moto X 2nd gen back in 2014. Dubbed as phone of the year, the smartphone was loved by most of the people. The phone came with KitKat, got Lollipop and then was one of the first to get Marshmallow. Will it get Android Nougat now?

In this article, we will talk about moto X 2nd gen's Nougat update

I'm sorry to disappoint all of you, but the answer is no, you are not getting Android Nougat. The phone was launched in 2014 and Google's policy of software updates cover just 18 months past its release. But the phone did have one hell of a run, seeing three Android versions pass through it.

There's some good news though, the phone has a great developer community and custom ROMs supporting it will be released by the end of the year, so you will be able to play with all the new features that come with Nougat.

We will keep this post updated through the rest of the year to update you with all the news. Moto X2 will likely see most of the popular roms like CyanogenMod 14 and others available as soon as they are released. 

Although it's sad that moto X2 won't get Nougat officially, please understand that it's had a great run and that it's almost two years old by now, so its update would degrade its performance.

Two new Motorola headphones coming soon!

 By Felipe Berhau on July 02, 2016       

As we told you some time ago, Motorola sold its accessories division last year to Binatone Global, a company that takes good care of the brand. The new line of accessories is coming, with VerveLife line of wearables announced two weeks ago and the Pulse 2 headphones that came with Moto G4.

Today, we found two new Motorola headphones popping up on Amazon. Already listed in some European sites, these new devices are the Motorola Pulse M and the Motorola Pulse Max. Pulse M looks like a smaller, with better design version, with its white/gold version looking classy, and Pulse Max is a more robust, more resistant headphone. 

Both will be corded headphones and will be available soon. So it's nice to see we have a full Pulse line of headphones: 2, M, Max and the bluetooth original Pulse. Let's hope we see more and more of these! Hopefully Binatone will turn the Motorola brand into a successful brand for audio and music!
