Motorola phones to come with the batwing boot logo once again!

 By Felipe Berhau on September 29, 2016       

Motorola fans hoped this would come back...and it did! Hellomoto! Motorola just uploaded a new video to their social media accounts which will be the new boot animation on Moto phones. As you may know, the batwing logo had been missing from Moto G4 and Moto Z devices, in favor of the Moto word. It seems the batwing was too iconic to let go, and now it's making a comeback.

Along with the video, Motorola says this boot animation is new, fresh and full of all the things we love, like the batwing logo. It's pretty cool!

Lenovo Communications youtube channel also uploaded this video, and its description says "This animation will also be the power-up on new Moto phones", confirming that HelloMoto is here to stay.

HelloMoto has been Motorola's slogan since 2002, appearing as power-up on the Razr and all the phones we love. They also used it as their website, hellomoto.com (which will now send you to motorola.com) and on many TV commercials. Lenovo is changing their Moto strategy now, and instead of making it look like a new brand, they want everyone to know that neither Motorola, nor its legacy are going away.

YouTube Go is an App you have been waiting for!

 By Unknown on September 28, 2016       

Back in 2014, Google launched "Offline First" YouTube app, which you are familiar with. YouTube first introduced offline mode in its main app. Then a few months back, it introduced a new "Smart Offline" feature in India to schedule video downloads during cheaper off-peak hours.

YouTube Go has been built to work where there is poor connectivity or none at all. Users will be able to choose their resolution while streaming or saving videos. If the users are on a poor or slow connection, choosing a lower resolution will speed up things up and consume less data. Even users on 2G network will be able to stream and save videos easily.

YouTube Go will let you preview a video's information by just taping on the thumbnail. Probably the best feature is that now a user can share videos with nearby friends without consuming any data. But the user will be able to share if the receiver must have the YouTube Go app.
  

App testers in India will soon be able to test it.
