The bang for buck champions of the Android smartphone décor these past couple of years have never enthused with their high-end designs, optional wood and leather backs notwithstanding. Motorola kept the aesthetic gambles to a minimum on all three generations of its Moto X flagships, but now Lenovo counts on the Illinois-based OEM to reverse declining ...

In the spirit of holiday commercialism, let us remind you of our holiday shopping guide. Okay, also that we’ve been out two weeks since Black Friday and that we are another two from Christmas. Whether or not you view that glass as half-full or half-empty, if you do have a mobile tech shopping list you feel like riddling with check marks, you still have time to grab a smartphone for one of your best first degrees of separation.Yep, that’s what I call friends & family.So, why ...

It’s really no wonder version 6.0 barely surfaced in last month’s Android distribution chart, essentially tying Froyo’s market share, given you can still count the number of non-Nexus, non-Android One devices widely updated to Marshmallow on the fingers of one hand.There’s the LG G4,

In the days following the formal launch of Android 6.0 Marshmallow we saw OEMs lining up to start sharing the first details of their own update plans, with Motorola taking a prominent place among them. The news we got wasn’t necessarily great – there was a big wide-open hole that left the fate of US carrier editions of the Moto X 2014 super uncertain – but at least international editions looked like ...

Let’s not mess around. If you’ve been following Android at all this season, you know about Motorola’s Moto X Pure Edition and you certainly know about Google’s Nexus 6P. The former is one of the best values in Android right now, a blend of incredibly customizable hardware and very intelligent software, while the latter is a sleek metallic showcase for the very best that Google’s mobile platform has to offer. Each has its place in the landscape and each is a solid deal at its respective price point … but if you’re shopping for a phone to grace ...

“Make no little plans. They have no magic to stir men’s blood.”–Daniel BurnhamBack in 2013, the original Moto X came as a breath of fresh air to a smartphone community already growing fatigued of phablet overload. It was a smaller, humbler handheld that focused on usability rather than the latest features or supercharged specs. It was a product that we said

What’s the only thing better than bringing home a new smartphone that’s simply jam-packed with features? Finding out that it’s capable of even more than you expected, that’s what, especially if that means stumbling across some hidden hardware. We’ve been putting the new Moto X Pure Edition through its paces since getting our hands on the phone last week, and wouldn’t you know it, but it turns out this Motorola handset is hiding a little notification LED under its ...

For all the aspects of smartphone design Motorola excels at, it’s never really nailed the camera experience. Despite making big promises on the first-generation Moto X and its 2014 followup, each fell flat in the photos department: the pathfinder phone produced terrible low-light results despite its vaunted “ClearPixel” technology, and last year’s sequel didn’t fare much ...

“Beautiful inside and out.” That’s Motorola’s predictably effusive take on its 2015 flagship smartphone, and our early hands-on coverage at the company’s New York City launch event backed that up.

The 2015 Moto X lineup for the first time consists of two separate models, the ultra-high-end X Style and slightly lower-end but longer-lasting X Play. One key demographic neither phone targets however is made up of lovers of the outdoors, and general butterfingered individuals who tend to drop and destroy their costly handhelds.Enter the Moto X Force, aka

It might as well have been a bar. Or a dance club. Full of EDM, feathers and psychotic playhouses. Really, when you walk into the Messe Berlin around this time of year, you should expect and receive everything. Buzzed-about wearables from Huawei and Samsung made their ways to the fray. Sony wore its Xperia lineage with its sixth coat of paint. ZTE splashed more of its truer colors onto the newest Axon smartphone. And then the trunk of the show irreparably branches into something else.We’ll enjoy the climb as we head inside Mobilegeeks.de’s tech.lounge at IFA 2015 and join ...
