Motorola to introduce smart outdoor products in 2017


Motorola keeps getting bigger! Now through a brand licensing deal with Zenus Technology, you will see Motorola-branded outdoor products this year. This includes lanterns and smart speakers.

For nearly 90 years the Motorola name has been synonymous with quality, innovation and trust around the world. Over 100 million products sold each year carry the Motorola name and demonstrate the brand's lasting power and continued relevance in today's ever-evolving marketplace.



The first products to be released are:


  • LUMO smart lanterns: they come with Bluetooth and sync with a dedicated app that let you set up the color (over 16 million colors to choose!). 
  • Hybrid & Modular flash lights: MotoMods go outdoors! These ones will tell you the temperature. You will be able to attach power banks, alarm clocks and speaker "mods".
  • Wearable LED lights: you can charge them through its micro-USB port and even include a pedometer that will sync with the dedicated app.
  • Weather radios: AM/FM radios that charge through solar energy. 
  • Bluetooth speakers: featuring IPX4 water resistance, these speakers will feature Touch2Share technology.


The new Motorola products will be part of "Motorola Home", which is the name the company uses for all its licensed products and can be found at the motorolahome.com website. Last year, Motorola-branded home networking products were introduced and quickly became Amazon best-sellers. At the same time, Motorola is the best selling baby monitor brand in the US and Europe thanks to licensing deals like this one.

What do you think about this Google Pixel 2 concept?

Last year, Google gave us the first two Pixel Smartphones i.e. Pixel with 5" Display and Pixel XL with 5.5" Display, with some extra Artificial intelligence in the form of the fledgling Google Assistant. 

Both Google Pixel and Pixel XL were great devices but things like water resistance and an orignal design were left out because they ran out of time. For 2017, Google has already decided and is all set to really show their vision for the highest-end Android phones.

Motorola will update most of it's eligible Moto Devices to Android 7.0 Nougat by the end of January!


After updating Nexus 6, Moto Z, Z Force, G4 Plus and G4 to Android 7.0 Nougat, Motorola is all set to roll out Android 7.0 Nougat to other eligible devices. 



When asked by few users about When their Moto Devices will be getting Android 7.0 Nougat Update, Moto_Ger Official twitter account tweeted that the Moto X Play, Moto X Style and Moto Z Play and most of the other Moto devices will get Android 7.0 Nougat by the end of January. While the Moto G4 Play will probably follow Moto X Family and will be updated to Android 7.0 Nougat later on.

We have no idea whether Motorola will update "Powered by Mediatek" moto devices to Android 7.0 Nougat, which includes Moto M and Moto E3 Power.

Moto G5 Plus will be announced on February 26th


Motorola has just sent invites to the press for an event during MWC in Barcelona. The invite shows both Motorola and Lenovo logos and the iconic "Hellomoto" word. The invite says it will all happen on February 26th.

As you know, the only Motorola device that has been leaking in recent weeks is the Moto G5 Plus, and it even passed through the FCC recently. It's rumored to come with 4GB of RAM, a 5.5" 1080p screen and a new all-metal design similar to the Moto Z. 

The FCC listing also revealed there will be other variants of this phone, one having 2GB of RAM, so it's very likely that the Moto G5 will come in Plus and Play variants like in 2016.
