 By Vaibhav Jain on August 17, 2017       

According to the latest reports from CNBC, the Nokia 8 isn't coming to the US and China.

HMD did not released the specific market list in which it would be releasing the Nokia 8, but told CNBC that it would launch in countries which are accustomed to higher average selling prices of phones.

"The U.S. requires a separate strategy, even a separate portfolio and tech investment so we are not in a rush today around that because we are seeing such strong demand across the globe,"

The Nokia 8 will not launch in China, as the company is crafting a specific strategy around the world's biggest smartphone market, and will launch specific devices tailored to consumers there.

"China is a big focus market and we will make announcements on those dedicated products there in the future," Seiche told CNBC.

Waiting for the Moto X4 release date will be tough and we’re here to tell you why waiting is the right decision.

AI Integration

Few months ago a strange video leaked online, where someone was demonstrating the features of the Moto X4. One of the key feature listed was "AI Integration".

Lenovo has already started developing its own AI assistant that will be called CAVA. Lenovo intends for the AI assistant to analyze your commands and provide suggestions based on your message. To do so, CAVA will develop systems that recognize a human face and understand natural language using deep learning technology.

With these two news, we assume that the Moto X4 will be the first device to have CAVA AI assistant Integration.

That Design

The Moto X4 design is no longer a mystery, as the device has been leaked a couple of times. Leaked renders shows the Moto X4 in Super Black and Sterling Blue and it looks pretty HOT!

IP68 is Back

We've seen Motorola doing wonders with the IP68 certified Moto G 3rd Generation (2015) and Moto G Turbo Edition. However, Motorola ditched this feature in all the Official 2016 and 2017 models with it's not so safe Splash-proof technology.

But, It's Back! The Motorola Moto X4 will be coming with IP68 dust and water certification.

At Last Stock Android

One of the enormous strengths of Motorola devices is the fact that they offer near stock Android. One of the sole reasons for Moto brand’s success is its Android skin.

The Moto X4, Of course will offer the Stock Android with Latest version and that's one of the reason why the Moto X4 will be an Instant buy for me.

Specs and Price

The Moto X4 will feature a 5.2-inch Full HD glass layered display with 3D glass on top. The device will be available in Super Black or Sterling Blue measuring in at 148.35 x 73.4 x 7.99 mm and weighing in at 163 grams. It will be powered by the Snapdragon 630 chipset (eight cores all running at 2.2GHz), Adreno 508 GPU along with 3/4GB of RAM and 32/64GB of internal storage. The device will sport a 3000mAh battery.

Rumor says that the Moto X4 32GB variant will likely cost 350 Euro (₹26000/$400), which is really a good price.

Don’t you think you should maybe wait until Motorola Moto X4 arrive before pulling the trigger on a new phone?
