Verizon’s upcoming two Droids don’t aim to make headlines just with shatterproof screens and stellar battery life. Their designs should also take center stage in the carrier’s joint Motorola marketing efforts, especially as far as the Droid Turbo 2 and its Moto Maker support are concerned.Not exactly a conventionally stylish device, and certainly no featherweight, the ...

There is absolutely no need to recap Motorola’s efforts related to the Android 5.0 Lollipop update; instead, we’ll just praise the company for being among the first ones to deliver Google’s latest and greatest to its current devices. However, those who own older models are not enjoying the Lollipop dessert just yet, but the company is getting there, according to Motorola’s Luciano Carvalho who took some details on the progress to his Google+ page (embedded below).According to the post, Carvalho reassures everyone that Motorola is working hard on updating 2014 and ...

For those of you that thought that Push to talk was dead, well it is, and it isn’t. At times when users are sticking to services like Voxer, or even Whatsapp’s voice messaging, it’s hard for these decade-old services to survive. Still, we know that Verizon is reluctant to let it die, and the company is now pushing it to more handsets, in its own way.Verizon’s Push to Talk Plus is still “a thing” on Verizon, and the company has decided to make this service available to flagship devices like the Galaxy S5, Droid MAXX and others get Verizon’s Push to Talk Plus appeared first on Pocketnow.
This weekend, an update to the 2013 Droid family of devices began rolling out, though a list of what exactly was new (other than the bump up to the newest version of KitKat) was absent at the time. Finally, both Verizon and Motorola have posted up a Droid family Android 4.4.4 update changelog on their sites.Unfortunately, this update (build number 21.11.21) one’s centered around bloatware, but there is other stuff. VZ Cloud and Visual Voicemail have been updated, which I’m sure leaves the three people using those apps on their Droids pleased. The Isis mobile wallet app has also ...

Even though Motorola hasn’t gained the amount of praise we’d want it to have for its 2013 line-up, that doesn’t change the fact that the company did raise the bar significantly with devices like the Moto X. You can fully interact with the device without having to pick-it-up, and as sci-fi as that would’ve sounded just a year ago, people have become fond of its simplicity and accuracy. That said, even though the company has gained a new owner, it hasn’t stopped working on improving its offerings. The company’s Touchless controls app will soon be enhanced ...

For a day crammed between a holiday and a weekend, you could forgive today for being a bit of no-man’s-land when it comes to smartphone news, with nothing interesting happening besides word arriving of a few more Black Friday deals. In spite of that, we’re seeing some relatively interesting news come down the pipeline, including that of new editions of some popular Androids. We already looked at a couple additional color options for ...

Everyone looks for different things in a smartphone. Maybe you care about high-speed data, while your friend might be more concerned with the availability of certain key apps. That makes it difficult to give one-size-fits-all opinions on phones, but we sure endeavor to do our best, particularly through our Scored for Me matrix. But even with all these differences of opinion, we still expect certain trends to show through: no one’s going to argue that the LG Optimus F5 is the superior phone to the G2, for instance. That’s why

Device security is very important, especially as we begin to trust our smartphones with more and more sensitive data – work emails, private conversations, or even banking information. Personal devices, such as smartphones and tablets, are far more private than most other types of electronics. As such, they should be treated with care and likely password or PIN protected. The unfortunate side effect is having to type a PIN or password dozens of times every day, which is quite tedious and can grow to be rather frustrating. However,
