Motorola has sent out media invites for the event to be held on 24.08.17 at 10:00, but it did not states which smartphone they are going to launch. Motorola has a knack of teasing smartphones ahead of their official launch, and they are doing the same this time as well. 


The Invite shows that the Hellomoto girl is holding a slim Pure Black Smartphone which is an indication that Motorola will probably announce the Moto X4 or Moto Z2 Force.

Maybe Motorola is looking to announce the Moto Gs series in Brazil, or it maybe the Moto Z2 Force. That said, nothing is known for now from the company, and Motorola will tease it in upcoming days ahead of the launch, which will give a clear idea about what they are going to launch in the country.

We will let you know once we get new information regarding this upcoming event, Stay tuned to our Facebook and Twitter page to get the first News.

 By Vaibhav Jain on August 11, 2017       

Along with the Android 7.0 Nougat, Google also introduced a new update system that allows users with no "Updating Android" screens delaying the initial boot.

According to the new reports from XDA, Motorola is the first OEM to actually implement A/B partition system for Seamless System Updates.

Recently, the Moto Z2 Force got a new update and XDA Team discovered that it was having a familiar screen from his Pixel usage that mentioned the update was installing in the background. Additionally, the device booted right into an updated Android without any delay screen saying "Updating Android".

That said, this system has been highly beneficial and more OEMs should actually implement this feature to their upcoming Smartphones.
