  • Everything We Know about the Moto G4 and G4 Plus

    Everything We Know about the Moto G4 and G4 Plus

    With the expected Launch of the next Moto G aka the Moto G4 and G4 plus to happen soon, there is already a lot of information that has been outed by tipsters and benchmarks. This is a roundup fo what to expect on the upcoming Moto G.

    Name

    The brand Motorola is no more and since the Lenovo acquisition is now complete the subsidiary brand is now called “Moto.” The Moto G revisions were known as the “Moto G” and the same with other phones. However, the interwebs and leaks suggest a proper Moto “G4” branding along with what rumors are pointing to as a Moto “G4 Plus,” which will either be a larger or a beefier specced handset.

    Look

    While @evleaks has been mostly responsible for leaking out Moto G4 images, some others have appeared online.

    https://twitter.com/evleaks/status/722552740283551744

    The images of the Moto G4 came out quite a while ago, they show the phone featuring a square front facing fingerprint scanner which may finally introduce the Moto lineup to fingerprint scanners. The rear shows a new camera layout along with dots that indicate either sensors or high-intensity microphones.

    Specifications

    Leaks have pegged that the Moto G4 is expected to have a 5.5-inch display, 13MP camera and 16GB of internal storage. The Moto G Plus is also expected to get a 5.5-inch display, a 16MP camera and 16GB of internal storage.Two models the XT1622 and XT1642 have been spotted on the FCC website.

    The Moto G4 has also been spotted on benchmarking site Geekbench, revealing some other specs, which include a Snapdragon 617 SoC, 3GB RAM, and Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow.

    Launch Date and Price

    After Motorola’s official invitation to their launch on the 17th of May, everyone is expecting the company to introduce the Moto G4 and G4 plus at the same event , while pricing has been speculated at around Rs. 21000 for the Moto G4 Plus, it seems highly unlikely that the company will launch the G4 for a different category when it has constantly stayed in the Rs. 15000 price bracket. So while the G4 Plus may be priced slightly higher we are expecting the Moto G4 to launch somewhere in the Rs. 14500 price range.

    It is also official that the next phone (which we assume is the G4) will now be an Amazon exclusive.

    Moto G4 in India May be an Amazon Exclusive

    Tweets between Moto India and Amazon India seems to show that the 17th May launch of the expected Moto G4 may be an Amazon India Exclusive. While it is difficult to say what Moto will eventually launch in India, leaks have pointed towards a Moto G device which will be dubbed as the Moto G4.

     

     

    Motorola has been associated with Flipkart since its re-launch as a brand few years back. Now that Lenovo has officially taken the reins of the operation it seems they will be choosing Amazon as their partner for this launch. Recently Moto also exclusively made available some variants of the Moto 360 gen 2 on Amazon India.

    The Moto G4 and the Moto G4 plus which will feature Moto’s front square fingerprint scanner and now a 5.5-inch display, according to leaks, should be launched on the coming Tuesday.

    Land Rover Smartphone to Launch in 2017

    Tata owned Jaguar Land Rover is working on a luxury smartphone and accessories to launch by 2017. The task of which has been given to Bullitt Group. Who will be developing a custom engineered smartphone and a whole range of accessories to be branded with the Lard Rover moniker.

    Incorporating iconic Land Rover design and innovative technology into the mobile phone sector with Bullitt Group presents an exciting challenge and fantastic opportunity to take the brand into a new dimension,” said Lindsay Weaver, director of licensing and branded goods at Jaguar Land Rover

    With the maximum interest in the Smartphone category, Land Rover seems to be excited to profit from the same. However many companies have tried and failed miserably in the past. While some products simply rode on the success of the base brands (Porsche Designed Blackberry Smartphone), the base brands eventually seem to end up with little strengths.

    The portfolio is now under development by Bullitt Group, working directly with Jaguar Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations Group. The Jaguar Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations team are responsible for designing and engineering high specification vehicles, bespoke commissions and heritage products.

    Either way we are excited to get our mitts on these smartphones, as they are expected to launch with a whole host of accessories early next year.

     

  • Samsung Z2 Tizen Phone Leaked

    Samsung Z2 Tizen Phone Leaked

    Samsung is not letting go of Tizen or the Z series handsets easily, and that may not be a bad thing. Samsung had first released the Samsung Z1 and skipped the Z2 to launch the Samsung Z3 last year.

    It appears that this ultra-budget handset, the Samsung Z2, is ready to make an appearance after all. According to import data listing, Samsung is importing a handset with the model number SM-Z200F, with a screen size of 4 inches for a price of approximately Rs. 3400.

    Samsung z2 0

    Rumors in the past have pegged this phone to have a unique design and construction, along with a 960 x 540 pixels resolution display and a 2000 mAh battery. The phone is also expected to be a dual-SIM phone.

    While Tizen penetration is nowhere near what Samsung expected it to be, it looks like the company is not going to give up on it yet. With the recent leaks of the Gear Fit 2 restarting people’s interest. This Tizen 3 based Z2 may be a decent ultra-budget option for those in need. Although, it is a little difficult to guess what final price the handset will launch at, a rough calculation of the SM-G600F seen in the data above which is for Rs 6782 but launched for Rs. 9990. We can expect the Samsung Z2 to launch for Rs 4490 or in that region.

    Galaxy-C5-03

    it is a little difficult to understand how samsung wants to place these phones, with already many options available from the company in the mid segment, and the Galaxy A series targeting the Mid-high segment, Samsung may just create competition for itself. The main intention is to take on the large influx of handsets from Chinese manufacturers that offer metal builds and good specs.
