Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi today unveiled its new flagship handset, the Mi 4, which combines cutting-edge specifications with gorgeous design. Like a number of its predecessors, the Mi 4 has been somewhat inspired by the iPhone, but its aim is to take on other high-end Androids like the Samsung Galaxy S5 and the HTC One M8.

A German court has ordered Motorola to stop selling selected smartphones in Germany to do a dispute over the design of their antennas. The company’s flagship Moto X, Moto G, and other devices infringe a patent for “Laser Direct Structuring” that is owned by German engineering firm LPKF.
HTC has today announced that its latest budget-friendly smartphone, the Desire 516, is en route to Europe and will touch down in Austria and Switzerland as a competitor to Motorola’s extremely successful entry-level handset –the Moto G. The device is expected to be available next month from all major electronics retailers for €199 ($270) in both white and grey colorways.
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.
Charging your Moto 360 smartwatch could be as easy as placing it down on a wireless charging pad beside your bed before you go to sleep at night. The new Android Wear device is expected to come with Qi wireless charging technology built-in, according to official Motorola images submitted to the FCC.
