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.

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?

Samsung releases two new wearables

 By Felipe Berhau on June 03, 2016       

Samsung wants you to be fit!

The Korean company just announced two new devices, one is a smartwatch, the other one is a bluetooth headset. The Gear Fit 2 is a fitness band, with a 1.5" Amoled screen, a dual core SoC, 512MB of RAM with 4GB on board memory, and a 200mAH battery. It's compatible with Kitkat and up, and runs Samsung's Tizen OS. As it is a fitness device, it's water resistant (IP68). Here's a video about the device in action:

The other device is the Gear IconX, a bluetooth concept similar to the Motorola Hint and VerveOnes (which launched this week). It has 3 different sizes of eartips and wingtips, according to Samsung's press release. It tracks your fitness data including your heart rate, syncing with Samsung's Health app. You will have a voice software feedback so you the device will be telling you right in your ear how well or bad you are doing. Oh, and it can store up to 1000 MP3 songs! Pretty cool, huh? Expect it to be available in Q3. Price was not announced, though.

In seven days, Motorola will change the world

 By Felipe Berhau on June 02, 2016       

We only have one week left...

Motorola is set to introduce its new Moto phone at the Lenovo Tech World in San Francisco on June 9th. That's only 7 days from now, and here is everything we know about the new Motorola.

1 - There will be two versions of the new phone(s). One will continue the Moto line, but its rumored to be called Moto Z instead of Moto X. There will also be a DROID version sold in the USA, which will feature Verizon exclusive apps and some Motorola exclusive Droid apps, like the Circles widget and the Droid Zap feature.

2 - The phones will be thin. RAZR thin. That's why Motorola has teased the Razr V3 so much lately. The new Moto line will be have versions that will be 5-7mm thin, making it one of the slimmest phones out there. 

3 - They are modular phones. Although it's not really like Project Ara, Motorola will have some accessories that will connect to the phone to make it have a professional camera, a projector, stereo speakers, and a huge battery module. That's why you see 16 pins in the back of the phone and Lenovo's official blog says we will see "new technology designed by Motorola that will dramatically think about and use their most personal devices - in a snap" .

4 - They will come with flagship specs. Expect the latest Snapdragon 820, Quad HD screens, impressive cameras and long battery life running on the latest Android. 

5 - They will come with a satterproof display, just like Moto X Force from last year. This means your screen won't break if you drop the phone, and its aluminum unibody will make it have a real premium feeling. This will be the first all-metal Motorola phone since 2008's Aura luxury phone.

We are excited, and we trust and hope this launch is meaningful to fans and the tech world (no pun intended). Motorola has more lives than a cat and has made more comebacks than Jesus, so we are confident that they will impress us with the new devices. Until then, TTYL.

LG releases the Stylus 2 Plus

 By Felipe Berhau on June 01, 2016       

The LG Stylus 2 Plus will be available in the coming weeks all around the world.

LG just released a new smartphone, the Stylus 2 Plus, and seems to be an interesting device, and this time it doesn't copy the name of a Motorola device. The new phone comes with a 5.7" 1080p screen, a 1.4GHz octa-core chipset, a 13MP (or 16, depending on the country you are at), and as the name points out, it comes with a stylus.




The phone will also come with marshmallow and though it's a fully plastic body, it's pretty thin at 7.4mm, even though it carries a 3000mAH battery, so you will have plenty of juice. Other than that, its design is the traditional LG design language, so nothing new there.

LG says it will come with a competitive price, though it wasn't announced during its release. We will have to wait and see until it's available. LG says it will be available soon.
