Currently, the line Moto X has three different devices, such as smartphones Moto G, Moto E and two models of smartwatches Moto.

Chinese sources say that in 2016, Motorola can make a radically new design for its devices. CnBeta suggests that the first smartphone to get redesign will be Moto X (2016). Please note that the published photo is only a prototype, and design can be changed.

Let’s try to analyze in detail new design.

Design Moto X (2016)

The frame and body of smartphone Moto X (2016) made of metal. The bands at the top and bottom remind iPhone 5 and iPhone 5S.

Design is fundamentally different from all Moto devices that are available in the market today. The curved back panel has been replaced by a completely flat surface. In addition, there is no fingerprint reader. We suggests that company decides to place it on the front panel, or does not use at all.

Camera Moto X (2016)

Camera module Moto X (2016) is very big. This may be a sign that Motorola plans to improve the quality of the photos. As we know, Moto X Style is equipped with an improved camera sensor compared to last year’s Moto X. However, smartphone is still not a leader in the segment of mobile cameras. Flash looks like a semi-circular, and will be under the camera.

Holes Moto X (2016)

As you can see on the picture at the bottom of the smartphone Moto X (2016) are round holes. We believe that they are intended for the speaker. It may mean that Motorola is interested in higher quality audio. Another question – the front speakers are transferred to the rear panel, or smartphone will have two speakers for better sound?

Conclusion

As we have said it is too early to say that the smartphone Moto X (2016) will look just like in the photo. In addition, we should note that this design will be much more difficult to set up through the service Moto Maker. Will Motorola refuse from the service of customization?

Motorola has used the traditional design for three years, and if you believe the new leak, the next year smartphones Moto will get premium version.

Now is another picture emerged – although admittedly very (really very) small. With only 59 × 88 pixels, it is actually not even big enough for a preview on our website. When it somewhat stretched, it can be quite with the pictures that have surfaced in other leaks, compare. This gives the image shown quite a degree of credibility.

The image has the structure of a typical press. The usual arrangement of the camera, the LED flash and the Motorola logo on the metal strips on the back of the device can be clearly seen. A careful consideration of a change in the pixel pattern can be seen on the right side of the device, which looks just like the Motorola-typical arrangement of the buttons for volume control and on / off or lock.

By contrast, the front reveals something less, but still shows a known micro / speaker arrangement at the top and bottom of the unit, which was acquired in all probability from the previous model. Hopefully, it has just like its big brother, the Nexus 6, two speakers at the front.

Speaking of bigger – the new Moto X will appear in two different sizes according to recent rumors. One of them as usual with 5.2″ display and thus the same format of the current generation – beyond but also one with a larger, maybe a 5.7″ display.

Verdict – Moto X 3rd generation

Considering how well the current Moto X has been included and that Motorola is a good user experience is committed, there are really only a point at which Lenovo’s mobile phone division could use a little magic – and that would be the camera. The good thing is that the group that but also know which improvements are most likely here.

Motorola will launch a personalization system of “smart” watches Moto 360 when ordering online, what company officials said.

In fact, we are talking about expanding service Moto Maker, which is when buying a smartphone Moto X allows you to select its unique design, the amount of internal memory and user interface design.

Customers Moto 360 hours of service through Moto Maker will be able to choose one of the three variants of the case: silver, black, and gold.

In addition, will be available for eight types of straps and bracelets (including size). Finally, users can choose the vending version of the design of the dial, which is displayed on the screen after turning on the gadget. In the future, probably will expand the list of options.

The origins of the company come from America, and were there that made a name for Motorola. Initially, the company developed the radios and radio stations; they were especially popular during the Second World War. Soon after the war ended, began the era of the automobile, a lot of cars were equipped with radios of the company, which is worth noting, in contrast to its competitors could work without the ignition. Subsequent years, the company has focused on working with cellular communication.

Already in 1983 appeared on the market the first mobile phone company – Motorola DynaTAC 8000X, which is a breakthrough in this area. The first call from the device was manufactured in 1973. On the phone you can talk only 35 minutes, he maintained contacts 30 and six hours, but charge the device as much as 10 hours, which is quite crazy by today’s standards. Phone weighed just 800 grams. Why all? Simply because when mobile phones were used only in cars, and they weighed about 14 pounds. Cost mobile phone by today’s standards quite a lot – $ 3,995.

Further, the market appears similar devices from other manufacturers, including Nokia, but in 1996, Motorola introduced the world to the first phone-clamshell Motorola StarTAC, such a concept held in the next ten years, many manufacturers. The price of the phone is about 1000 US dollars. The key features of the phone has support for CMC-messages, support for 2800 contacts.

Another key telephone company became a Motorola Razr V3. More than 130 million devices were discharged during the period from 2004 to 2006, it made him the best-selling clamshells in the history of the industry. In those days it was popular at iPhone. He was considered a benchmark in design, technology; it was a breakthrough for consumers.

In 2008, Motorola introduced the audience Motorola Aura, which was the most unusual and beautiful phone. Yes, in the past we have already met a similar form factor, but now it’s not just a square screen, described a circular frame, and a full round display. Today, many wonder how it was possible to create a round display in the Moto 360 and LG G Watch R, as you see, back in 2008, Motorola is one of the first to implement such an idea. Note the fact that the phone was not cheap, its price at the start of sales in Russia amounted to about 70 thousand rubles, that is, he did not initially positioned as a mass. This was the solution for business, for people who want to combine the watch and phone in one mechanism.

Razr V3 was the last successful regular phone companies, because in the future the era of Android-devices, the era of smartphones. During normal phone manufacturers do not twist arms and designers are allowed to sell them all the most unusual things, and the Motorola CLIQ became an adapter when the producers would try to experiment with the design and dimensions, CLIQ – the first and probably one of the most unusual Android-smartphone company . However, not many Russian consumers have met times of transition Motorola, because by the time she was gone from the Russian market. Next in line were the various smart phones running on Android 2.3, which is a bright representative of Atrix.

However, after some time the market goes one of the most popular devices companies – Motorola Razr XT910. With the release of the Motorola devices try to make it a kind of premium solution, because then Kevlar body thickness of only 7.1 mm rarely to be found in the market. Of the benefits devaysa: interesting enough shell, nice design. Live smart phone really looks and feels very nice. After it appeared on the market many such devices companies, including Motorola Rarz M, Razr I, who had displays “from the frame to frame.” Along with the new style of the company began to use new technologies, including AMOLED-display with PenTile, which spoils the overall picture of smartphones.

However, with the Moto X in 2013, Motorola, we can say, has created a new line of their devices. Moto-line is markedly different from all previous devices company. They are distinguished and design, and overall style. And, perhaps, Moto – is a smooth transition to the new style of the company. Perhaps in the future we will not be able to see the signature clock widgets on the desktop, because the Motorola recently committed to making its USB mass, with which they previously were not, and did not affect the market for mobile devices. Motorola buying mostly fans of the company, but whether it needs such a policy? After all, it does not give the right of income, it is necessary to adopt new views; Motorola understands this, so I decided to create a new line, which now can be called basic. A Razr-line device, which at one time raised the popularity of the company, has outlived its usefulness, but do not be so sure that Motorola will forget about their roots, most likely, the company will produce Razr-model, but not in such numbers, as before.

However, with the release of Moto Maxx everything has become quite controversial. After Moto – is a line of very different devices in style and Droid Turbo, the international version of which is called Moto Maxx, does not fit into the overall style of the model range and the objective would be to create or continue a separate line Razr-devices.

Summing up, I want to wish success Motorola Mobility, because very few on the market today such companies. There are, of course, HTC, Samsung, Lenovo, but all of them bored. Users need new discoveries, ideas, and it seems that Motorola – a company with a large and rich history – the ability to surprise consumers.

The post History of Motorola appeared first on Raqwe.

Unfortunately, many fans underestimate American technology flagship Moto X, assuming it to be a great smartphone with outstanding characteristics, and only a prototype Nexus 6. In general we can say that it is in the shadow of the latest iteration of the so-called Google Phone. And for good reason. New from Motorola has a 5.2-inch display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, quad-core Snapdragon 801 processor with a clock frequency of 2.5 GHz and, most importantly, the 13-megapixel camera. That is its potential we now estimate.

The updated version of the flagship from Motorola was introduced in September this year. It seems that the company’s engineers have done a lot of conclusions, but because this time did not forget about the good stuffing. The smartphone has 2GB of RAM, GPU Adreno 330 and even stronger than glass Corning Gorilla Glass 3. It would seem that the device turned out incredible, but because it was urgent to look for going abroad friends. Or open a visa and plan a trip yourself.

Alas, in this huge ointment was not without a spoon of tar. In the role of the latter made the battery capacity of 2300mAh. Perhaps even souped users Android operating system will recognize that this is not enough.

Whatever it was, the rest of the smartphone is really good, and turn a blind eye would be wrong. Special mention deserves the 13-megapixel camera that can record video in 4K resolution. But to demonstrate its capabilities to potential customers, for example, to record what is happening on the street would be too easy is not it?

That’s why the company decided to attract marketer’s professional videographer, which is specialized in shooting with drones. For realization conceived he was given the drone, the new version of Moto X, and probably a good fee.

See the results of this work can be long now, view video from a bird’s flight.

Remain indifferent to what they see is quite difficult: landscapes look really amazing. By the way, recently we have seen something similar on Samsung Galaxy Note 4. Which device to show their best side? Share your thoughts in the comments.

Camera premium smartphones already today are great, and it’s hard to imagine that they will become even better. With such phones as causing mixed feelings Galaxy S5 and HTC One, produced images which show every detail. In addition, you can edit and adjust the focus after the shooting. The main and the front camera can be used simultaneously. This became a reality and ceases to amaze. But the future brings 24-megapixel camera OmniVision for a new generation of Android-based phone, which makes sense to talk in more detail.

Resource Business Insider reports that OmniVision, supplier of camera components for the first Moto X by Motorola and Google smartphone Project Tango 3D, presented a 23.8-megapixel camera sensor for smartphones. He is capable of capturing images at 24 frames per second video at 60 frames per second.

Higher resolution not to date none of the camera sensor for Android-based phone. It is about taking an aspect ratio of 4: 3.

For comparison: Samsung Galaxy S5 has a 16-megapixel, and LG G3 – 13-megapixel camera. The only smartphone camera features which are close to the capabilities of the new sensor OmniVision – Sony Xperia Z3 with its 21-megapixel camera. Nokia makes phones based on Windows Phone, which have a 41-megapixel camera, but these Android-smartphone no.

24-megapixel camera OmniVision

In theory, all this means that the phones with the new OmniVision sensors will allow to take more clean and clear, with better detail than those smartphones that are presented today. Because the new sensor OmniVision more megapixels, it can take more light when shooting, which ultimately lead to improved image quality.

On the other hand, the “megapixel” – just one of the factors affecting the quality of shooting, but by no means the only one. TechCrunch senior editor Matthew Panzarino brought vivid comparison, illustrating the role played by the “megapixel”:

Imagine a thimble placed under the rain to collect water. The more your thimble, the easier it will be to gather more droplets in a shorter period of time.

In this case, thimble reflects megapixels, and the water in this example is the analog of the light that collects the camera sensor. Increased “megapixel” only helps to make the picture quality. This is an opportunity, not a full confidence in the result. To picture to expectations, other characteristics of the camera must also be high.

Resource Phone Arena adds technical details, informing that OmniVision introduced not only 23.8-megapixel, but somewhat less impressive 21.4-megapixel sensor. New sensors are based on OmniVision Technologies PureCel-S, allow you to combine high performance with compact, which is so important for ultra-thin smart phones, which are now in the trend.

Sensor OV23850, as new smartphone camera sensor Sony, Samsung and Apple, support phase-detection autofocus and can shoot video in 4K resolution at 30 frames per second. 23.8-megapixel sensor with standard today of 1 / 2.3 inches with a pixel size of 1.12 micron.

Will the new OmniVision sensors beginning of a new era in mobile photography and video?

Droid Turbo with incredible battery and Moto X 2014 are among the most notable phones season. One of the main characteristics of the user’s interests is the quality of the camera device. It is time to compare the new camera phones Motorola, although it will not be easy to do, because the Moto X has a 13-megapixel camera, and the Droid Turbo boasts an incredible 21-megapixel camera.

We are talking about basic camera phone. Resource Explorer SlashGear Chris Barnes has done a great job, matching PhotoChances cameras considered smartphones and its remarkable Illustrated notes provide users with the opportunity to become acquainted with what has to be expected from new products Motorola.

Droid Turbo or Moto X?

At first glance it may seem that the Droid Turbo repeats specifications Moto X in 2014, but in fact it is not. Rather, it is much like Nexus 6 display, CPU, RAM, and even drive. Moto X 2014 is not so powerful.

So, Droid Turbo features a 21-megapixel camera on the back, while the 2014 Moto X users have to settle for a 13-megapixel camera. The more megapixels, the larger the image can be photographed. But does this mean that a “megapixel” camera lets you capture better photos and videos? Of course not! At least not always.

Droid Turbo based on the Qualcomm Snapdragon processor 805, while the Moto X 2014 – by Qualcomm Snapdragon 801. It may also exert their influence on the quality of images and videos, as well as the processor does its job against them.

First of all, look at the trees photographed shadows sunny afternoon. The comparison shows that both cameras have achieved almost identical results and team photo appears solid, if not much to look closely and do not know what its parts are made ​​of different camera phones.

And now look at the pavement, photographed on a sunny day, but already the sun. And here you can already see some difference between the two cameras. Moto X 2014 takes a warmer image, while the image of the Droid Turbo more accurate.

Now it is the turn photos into conditions that can hardly be called favorable for photography. When shooting indoors, where the only light source is room lighting, Droid Turbo does the job a little better.

When you record movies with Moto X 2014 is a warmer sunny picture than the Droid Turbo, which produces clearer movies.

Have you noted a significant difference between the qualities of the cameras Droid Turbo  shooting two considered phones? Or she is not so great as to be decisive in the choice of his next smartphone user?

The original version of the flagship of the American company Motorola Moto X is significantly different from its competitors. Unlike other manufacturer’s devices, the smartphone could not boast a huge number of megapixels, megahertz, incredible display resolution and other similar features. Despite this, the model is not only found its users, but also achieved incredible success in the market of “smart” phones. Contrary to a recent presentation continuation line, the first generation of Moto X is still relevant, and many do not get off to them. However, and it has certain drawbacks that we know right now.

Autonomy – Moto X

Like it or not, but poor battery life is one of the most common problems of most modern devices. With Moto X situation is no better. On the contrary, as reported by our foreign colleagues androidauthority, some users complain about the Moto X 2-3 hours of the device with the included display.

For those who are spared this problem, it is useful to optimize the function of energy consumption. With its help, the phone will automatically reduce the brightness of the display and turn off cellular data transmission when the 15 percent charge.

Temperature – Moto X

After his presentation, Moto X, of course, could be called “hot novelty.” However, such behavior during operation – a luxury for lovers of high-tech.

That’s right, many owners of this model often complain about the heat back cover. Most often, you can get rid of this by closing applications in the background, or the banal removal of a shroud. In severe cases, this decision is a device reset.

Voice notification

Motorola Assist – an incredibly useful feature that allows you to interact with the device using your voice. However, some instances of Moto X are not functioning as it should, and sometimes do not respond to the voice of the owner.

Get rid of this problem is possible by cleaning cache application or reset the device to factory settings.

Wireless connection

The following problems are periodic Moto X off Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. The most common ailments tablet from above – again, easy reset devices. However, before you use this method, you can try to forget the correct Wi-Fi-network using the manual settings.

Sudden reboot – Moto X

Android interface on the Moto X – sight for sore eyes, but he periodically freezes. And to describe this phenomenon more likely to be the word “freeze”. The picture on the display just stops moving.

Most often way out of this situation is to lock the device. If this does not work – restart the smartphone by pressing and holding the power button.

How often do meet the above disadvantages you, dear readers? Tell us about it below.

The post 5 of the most common problems of Moto X appeared first on Raqwe.

What is Android-smartphone is the best? For most users, the most popular mobile platform in the world for that matter has their own opinion. However, most modern smartphones alike. They have a very bright screen with high resolution and good camera. They support wireless networks 4G. And, most importantly, so easy to use that work with them does not require any special knowledge. Can we consider Moto X, despite its “major drawback” , attractive smartphone not only the present, but the whole story?

At least CNNMoney columnist David Goldman adheres to this point of view and justifies it. However, each of our readers may be voting on this issue and your favorite phone, as well as the arguments in its favor. His point of view, along with an excellent illustrated overview of the number of resource CNET, allows everyone to create their own idea of ​​Moto X 2014.

Well, according to David Goldman, making the new Moto X so delicious? It is a smartphone for each user, taking into account their needs. Phone for everyday tasks.

Do you want to have the phone were leather back panel and a white screen? And what about the black laser engraving on the back panel of the green? And maybe you want to phone case is made of wood? Buyers of the new Moto X are all available.

David Goldman calls his favorite feature Moto X the opportunity to give your phone a unique name. His phone he called «tippity spoons», which can be very loosely translated as “drum spoons.” It’s a bit strange name was coined three year old daughter of David and now it is enough to exclaim, «tippity spoons» and the phone will do what his boss asks. It is excellent when the user behind the wheel, David did not have to divert your hands off the steering wheel.

Moto X, in addition to the possibility of customizing its appearance, has a number of thoughtful extra features.

When you get the phone out of his pocket, it displays on your screen the current time, and for this you do not have to press any buttons. When the phone rings, just otmahnites from him and he shut up. To take a picture even lock the phone, shake it. When you receive a notification, you can tapnut phone to quickly see who it is.

Other phones may be the best camera (camera Moto X is good, but not as gorgeous as in the “standard» Android-devices Samsung Galaxy S5, Microsoft Lumia or Apple iPhone, which, other things, there is a decent metal Android-rival ). They may also have better speakers (Moto X produces clear and loud sound, but no phone can not compare in this respect with the HTC M8). And, of course, there are phones with larger screens. In the era of “gigantofonov” do not have to call the 5.2-inch screen Moto X big.

The above objectives can be considered David Moto X best ever made Android-smartphone? And what a phone based on Android, you would call the best in the history?
