On Thursday last week, HTC officially unveiled its latest HTC One variant, the One Mini, which effectively is a scaled down model of its current flagship device, and now networks together with retailers in the U.K. are preparing for its release.
At this point, there’s little we don’t know about the Moto X. Numerous leaks have revealed what the device will look like, and Google’s Eric Schmidt was even spotted using the phone in public.
Now the first press renders for the Moto X have been leaked. The shots match up with previous leaks and other promotional materials from Motorola.
The flagship Android handset will be announced on August 1st and ship later in the month. Motorola is touting that the Moto X is being assembled in the U.S., and rumors say the device’s ‘wow factor‘ will be smart sensors that are aware of the user’s environment.
What’s in her hand?!?
Motorla has begun sending out invitations for its official Moto X unveiling on August 1st at a media event in New York City. The flagship Android phone has been rumored to launch in August, and yesterday Motorola tweeted a picture of the device being assembled at a plant in Texas. Print ads for the Moto X have already been in circulation, and multiple leaks have revealed specific details about the highly anticipated device.
Multiple leaks have indicated that the Moto X won’t actually ship to customers until the last week of August. We expect Motorola to announce pre-orders after the unveiling and then start shipping from various carriers as the weeks progress.
Google Chairman Eric Schmidt has been seen using the Moto X in the wild, and a leaked promotional video from Rogers, a Canadian carrier, recently showed off several key features in the new device.
Two days ago we found out that Google has a new Nexus 7 up its sleeve at $269 for a 32GB model, even though the specs were a mystery. A new leak has revealed more details on Google’s next tablet though, thanks to a product info price tag leaked to Engadget.
New features on the Nexus 7 will include a 1.5GHz quad-core processor, a 1.2MP front-facing camera, a 5MP rear-facing camera, wireless charging, Slim Port support and Android 4.3.
The Nexus 7 will keep its 7-inch display, but it’s not clear if the screen resolution will get a bump. All the details of the new tablet will likely be revealed at Google’s event on July 24th with Sundar Pichai.
Are you itching to get Android 4.2.2 on your Galaxy Note II? Well, don’t hold your breath, because according to one carrier, it’s never coming. The device is expected to skip the release and jump straight to Android 4.3 instead.
