The new Moto G vs Moto G (Video)

Last year, Motorola blindsided everyone by creating an entry-level smartphone that was not only surprisingly great but also extremely affordable. Other smartphones like it had surfaced, but definitely not on Android. The Lumia 520 is a perfect example. But very few Android smartphones before the Moto G were both affordable and worth buying.Last week, while all the attention was on IFA in Berlin, Motorola made some not-so-surprising announcements in Chicago where ...

Check out the new Moto G: leak delivers hardware pics

Going back a little over a month now, we’ve been hearing whispers about Motorola’s work towards a new Moto G. From the sound of things, this second-gen model (a Moto G2, perhaps?) would make some big changes, growing to offer a five-inch 720p display – though that could also mean the phone arriving with a noticeably steeper price tag than its predecessor did last year. Motorola’s invitation for its September 4 press ...

Moto X+1 new material options pick up retailer support

One of the longest-standing rumors about the Moto X+1, popping up right around the same time we saw evidence for the phone’s name, has concerned the sort of customization options that would be available through Moto Maker. Supposedly we’d see the return of wooden backplates, which sounded nice, but word was we’d also be able to choose from a few leather options. That leather idea returned in subsequent rumors, but ...

Moto G2 launch details rumored, and we could be in for a big price bump

Last week we took a break from the rumors surrounding Motorola’s efforts to deliver a new Moto X, and instead started looking at what might be in the future for some of its more budget-focused models. Some benchmark data sure seemed to point at development work towards a new low-to-mid-range handset with a five-inch 720p display. And while there was no hard evidence linking it to the name, rumors suggested that this might be a new Moto G. As we wait to get the full details on this device, a new rumor ...

Motorola rumors as of late seem to have focused on two devices: the Moto 360, formally launched but not yet available for sale, and the Moto X+1, expected to arrive shortly as the manufacturer’s follow-up to last year’s Moto X.
