Moto G5 Plus Will Apparently Cost Less than the Moto G4 Plus, thanks to Lenovo-Ownership

 By Unknown on February 14, 2017       

Lenovo-owned Motorola is gearing up to launch their next generation mid-range smartphone, the Moto G5 at the MWC 2017. Rumors are already soaring online regarding the Moto G5 and Moto G5 Plus. 

It is now speculated that the Moto G5 Plus will be a lot cheaper than the Moto G4 Plus in some markets such as Europe. The leaked pricing in Europe is 209 Euro for the Moto G5 Plus with 3GB of RAM and Snapdragon 625 SoC (rumored). That's pretty much cheaper than the Moto G4 Plus shipping for 240 Euro in the same country. 



However, we believe that Lenovo will keep the pricing same for the phones in India or maybe a Rs. 1000 cheaper to make it more competitive with the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4. 

The phones are expected to be announced at the MWC 2017 event and Motorola has already sent out media invites for the same. Will you Moto G5 Plus if it gets the leaked pricing? Let us know in the comments section below.

Android Pattern Lock System Can be Hacked Within Five Attempts: Report

 By Unknown on February 13, 2017       

Pattern locking system is the most secure way of protecting your Android smartphone from threats. In new research from Lancaster University, it is said that the Android Pattern locking can be hacked within five attempts. Sounds Interesting, right? Let' see how this actually works. 

As you might be aware of the fact that, to unlock your smartphone, you need to draw your pattern to get the device unlocked and use it. If you failed to unlock the phone within five attempts, then the phone will be locked for 30 seconds. 

That said, a person from the university mentioned above has developed a new algorithm, which keeps track of a person's unsuccessful attempts at the pattern lock and suggests a pattern using advanced computer vision algorithm software. 

Also, this new algorithm even works without a video footage by just recording the fingerprints of the customer. However, this feature works accurately when the algorithm is exploited using video recording. 

This proves that the Android locking security system is still vulnerable to attacks like this.

The black and gold Moto Z will no longer be a Verizon exclusive to the Droid brand in the US! It seems that this rare version is coming to the rest of the world, as Motorola tries to attract more people into its gorgeous flagship.
