Apple’s encryption showdown with the U.S. government may be more or less dormant for now, but Facebook-owned WhatsApp has its own courtroom drama happening in Brazil. It scored a slight win today, however, as a judge overturned a decision yesterday that would have shut the whole thing down across the country for several days.

The controversy surrounds the messaging app’s end-to-end encryption. Specifically, the developer’s inability (and/or unwillingness) to crack it to comply with law enforcement requests.

Been waiting for the second-generation Moto G to get LTE connectivity before investing? According to a page that has popped up on Motorola’s Brazilian website this week, that wait may soon be over.

Brazilian retailer, Livraria Logos, has pre-maturely posted the listing of the Moto X+1 and “Titan” revealing their full specs and the customization options they would be coming with. 

The Moto X+1 is still a couple of months away from launch, but the alleged specs of the handset seems to have leaked on the Internet, thanks to a Brazilian retailer.

This is the same retailer who leaked the Moto E specs two days before its official unveiling, so even though the website in question looks shady, there is some credibility to this leak.

Last week we saw LG unveil the Optimus L1 II Tri, a triple SIM, low-end ultra-affordable smartphone that hit the shelves in many independent retail stores in Brazil for $127 off-contract. Samsung has responded by unveiling the Galaxy Star Trios — a rival triple SIM smartphone designed exclusively to compete with the L1 II Tri in Brazil.
