We’re almost certain that Motorola will announce its second-generation Moto G at a press event in Chicago this Thursday, and a new leak that shows its retail packaging out in the wild suggests a launch is right around the corner. Like the second-generation Moto X, however, it appears the handset’s new name may simply be “the new Moto G.”

The rumored name tag for Motorola’s second-generation Moto X may not be “Moto X+1,” after all, a new Verizon leak suggests. An image of the carrier’s internal database indicates the device will actually be named “the new Moto X,” and just like its predecessor, it will be customizable through Moto Maker.

The Motorola Moto X+1 has been pictured again ahead of its official unveiling this week, revealing a number of mysterious sensors positioned around its display. New information on the device also indicates that the Motorola logo on its back will be a shortcut button that users will be able to reprogram to their liking.

To celebrate the launch of its upcoming smartwatch, Motorola has teamed up with the folks over at Yo Messaging in order to give away twenty of its Moto 360 watches.

Meet LG’s answer to the Moto 360. It’s called the G Watch R, and unlike the original G Watch, it sports an attractive stainless steel design with a more traditional circular watch face, and an interchangeable leather strap. It’s set to get its official unveiling at IFA 2014 next week, but it seems LG just couldn’t keep it under wraps any longer.
