Motorola announced two editions of the third-generation Moto X at an event in late July, but one of them — the Moto X Play — won’t be launching in the U.S. At least not with that name.

However, new leaked images suggest it will arrive on Verizon as the DROID Maxx 2.

Pretty tempting, huh? Photo: LG

In an effort to attract phablet fans who might be holding onto their cash for Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Note 5, Verizon is offering customers a $100 Visa card when they pick up LG’s flagship G4.

The carrier that’s built up quite an army of discontent from its customers over the years probably didn’t win over anyone with its latest announcement. AT&T is raising its upgrade fees for postpaid customers and tacking on a weird, unnecessary activation fee for new AT&T Next customers.

T-Mobile introduced a new family plan that’s directly targeting Verizon Wireless and isn’t shying away from it. The new plan, which offers 10GB of 4G LTE data to each family member plus unlimited talk and text starting at $100 per month, bests Verizon’s shared 10GB of data for four members at $140.

T-Mobile’s CEO John Legere hasn’t been nice to competitors since taking the reigns and doesn’t seem interested in starting now. While Verizon claims its family plan is actually $80 per month, Legere argues that you’ll get charged at least $140 per month when all the additional fees add up.
