Motorola leaks Android O

You read that right! In a recent promotional image for the new Motorola Moto G4 phones Motorola states it will get updated to Android N and O!

Two days ago Google introduced Android N at Google I/O with some tweaks and new features, but now Motorola just leaked the name of the next Android version: N. Will Google stop releasing system versions named after desserts? We can't know that for sure yet. What will O improve over N? It's too far away to know.

One thing is clear, though, the new Moto G4 will get the next two versions of Android, and that's something really cool. When will it get N or O? That's a very good question that we are not able to answer right now, but let's hope it gets N as fast as possible.

Google demos Project Ara at Google I/O

Ever since 2013, Project Ara has been delayed once a year. Today, it's the same story...

We are not really sure if Project Ara will see the light or will be cancelled, but once again we are promised it "will come next year". Google showed some innovative features and uploaded a demo video on its YouTube page.

As you can see, the modules will be swappable instantly and you will be able to customize the phone depending on what you like. Google says it will be available next year, but some vendors have announced their modular solutions, like the LG G5 and some upcoming Motorola devices that are expected to be modular phones.

Google's approach is completely different here, allowing for more customization and the ability to change some key features of the phone like the speakers and its camera. Are you excited for Ara? We are certainly not that excited anymore since it gets delayed each year. Will it ever be released? Is it too ahead of its times?

Motorola keeps teasing the RAZR

We were the first to report the news: Motorola is teasing the RAZR. Now that everyone else is reporting it, Motorola uploaded the video to its YouTube account, and it makes us wonder...is it a new RAZR really coming?

Motorola Mobility's account just uploaded the video we were talking about today, which means this is a real ad for the new Moto phone that is coming on June 9th. They've also been talking about the RAZR since last week and through their new Snapchat account they are only posting videos about the iconic V3. Now, it's possible that it's not a RAZR, but the phones codenamed Vector Thin and Vertex are rumored to be only 5.2mm thin. Maybe Moto is trying to point out that the new devices will be so cool that everyone will have them, like the original RAZR. 

Whatever it is, we can all agree that the ad looks great and reminds us of the old Motorola, even having the HelloMoto ringtone at the end. At the end of the video we are pointed out to a motorola.com subscription page, so that we are the first to know about the new phone: Here

Here is the amazing video we are talking about, in case you missed it:

Nokia is back !

After so many rumors and anticipation, the Nokia brand will finally be back to phones.

After Microsoft bought the Nokia Mobile Division in 2013, they quickly announced that no more Nokia smartphones would be released, and the new devices were rebranded to Microsoft Lumia. Nokia fans hated this, and Lumia sales started to go down, up to the point in which Microsoft's smartphone market share was non-existent last quarter. 

Yesterday, Microsoft announced that it had sold the Nokia brand for feature phones and some factories to the Foxconn group. Now they will produce new feature phones using the Nokia brand and market them as Nokia phones. At the same time Nokia Technologies signed a deal with HMD global Oy, a company which will now produce smartphones and tablets under the Nokia brand. HMD and Foxconn will also become partners to produce, distribute and market all the phones.

Seems a bit difficult to understand, right? This is a more simple explanation: Microsoft thought its brand was better than the Nokia brand for smartphones, so they killed it from Lumia but kept it for the low end feature phones. After some time their sales went down because people wanted Nokia, not Microsoft Lumia, so instead of admitting they were wrong, they decided to sell the feature phone division and Nokia brand. 

On the other side, when Microsoft bought Nokia Mobile they made a deal in which Nokia couldn't use the brand or make smartphones late 2016. That time has passed now and instead of making the phones themselves, they decided to license the brand and patents to another company. The phones will have the familiar Nokia design and logos, and Nokia will earn money for each phone sold without making it (something similar to what Motorola does with its Bluetooth accessories and Home products).

The MotoRAZR is still one of the best selling phones of all time. Up to 2012 it had sold 150 million units worldwide according to Motorola. It was the #1 selling phone in the USA from 2004 to 2008, even outselling the original iPhone and iPhone 3G during that period of time.

Motorola brought back the RAZR brand in 2011 with the Droid RAZR and RAZR MAXX phones, which won "Best of CES" at the 2012 CES show. The device was one of the best selling phones in Latin America and the US.

Is a new RAZR really coming? We will find out soon, but we really hope there is!
