Like many Android handset makers, Motorola has several phones and series part of its lineup designed to cater to users with different needs, expectations, and budget. The Motorola X/Z were originally designed to appeal to users with more money and who cared about performance, while its other lineups like the E and G were aimed at users on a budget.
There have been quite a few leaks over the past few months suggesting that Motorola would soon launch a couple of new handsets. It has done just that at IFA 2018 in Berlin. The company has announced the launch of its Motorola One and Motorola One Power handsets. They’re mid-range devices powered by Android.
If you own a Motorola handset and you’re eager to get your hands on the recently released Android 9.0 Pie update, you might be interested to learn that Motorola has since announced and confirmed which of their handsets will be eligible to receive the update. Motorola did not specify when the update will be released save for this coming fall.
The concept of our smartphones possibly powering our laptops is one that has been explored before. A good example was about 7 years ago when Motorola took the wraps off the Lapdock which when connected to a Motorola smartphone, allowed it turn into a laptop of sorts with a bigger display and a physical keyboard.

Earlier Motorola announced the Moto Z3. This is the company’s latest handset and will be launched exclusively on Verizon later this month. This means that as far as the Moto Z lineup for 2018 is concerned, we have the Moto Z3 Play and the Moto Z3, and given that last year we got the Moto Z2 Force, does this mean that we can expect a Moto Z3 Force as well?
With carriers beginning to roll out 5G coverage this year and expect a wider roll out next year, it means that as consumers, we need to start looking out for 5G capable handsets. The good news is that Verizon has you covered because together with Motorola, they have launched the Moto Z3 with a 5G Moto Mod.
The Moto E5 Play is a cheaper version of the Moto E5 and there are minor differences in the specs. Motorola has now announced another iteration of the handset called the Moto E5 Play Android Go Edition. As the name suggests, this device is part of Google’s Android Go program which promises improved performance on devices with 1GB of RAM or less.
It appears that Motorola is gearing up to launch a new flagship smartphone next month. The company has sent invites to the press for an event which will take place on August 2nd. Motorola says that it will be making a “big announcement” at the event which will likely result in a new flagship smartphone being unveiled at the event at its Chicago headquarters.
While it does seem that carriers could potentially roll out 5G coverage faster compared to when they were rolling out 4G, there is a problem and that is there aren’t many (if any) devices in the market that supports 5G. This means that even if your carrier rolls out 5G coverage in your city, if your phone does not support 5G, then there’s really no point.
Even though Google has already released a public beta of Android P, the next major iteration of its mobile platform, there are still many devices that have yet to receive an update to the stable version of Android 8.0 Oreo. Its OEM partners are gradually rolling out the update in more markets across the globe. Those who own unlocked Moto Z handsets in the United States can now rejoice as […]
It has been rumored for a couple of months that Motorola has a new Moto G6 series in the pipeline and we now know when the new handsets will be unveiled by the Lenovo-owned company. The first leaks about the Moto G6 series surfaced a couple of months ago and much is already known about these handsets. They were recently spotted at a certification body as well which suggested that […]
With Motorola reportedly killing off its Moto X lineup, many are probably wondering what will become of the company? Will we be seeing more Motorola products in the future, or is this the beginning of the end? The good news is that it isn’t the latter and that new Motorola products could actually be announced next month.
