Hasta La Gadget!

In 2014, it is safe to say that we can look forward to more wearable devices hitting the market. In fact we’ve already seen Samsung release a trio of wearable devices in the form of the Galaxy Gear 2, Galaxy Gear Neo, and the Galaxy Gear Fit. That being said, we’re sure Motorola doesn’t want to be left out of the picture, considering that they hit the market pretty early with the MOTOACTV a couple of years ago.

Well fret not Motorola fans because according to a recent tweet by Motorola’s Rick Osterloh, it seems that Motorola will be launching their own smartwatch that will be available later this year, although we’re not sure if by then Motorola will be under Lenovo’s banner or if they will still be part of Google as the deal has not been closed yet.  (more…)

With Lenovo expected to buy Motorola Mobility from Google, we’re sure many are wondering what will be the fate of Motorola’s released devices while under Google. Well according to @evleaks, it seems that perhaps Motorola could be working on a successor to the Moto X before they are sold off to Lenovo.

In a recent tweet by @evleaks, he mentioned that while everyone was busy showing off their wares at MWC 2014, Motorola is busy working on a certain device called the “Quark X”. Unfortunately we can’t tell if the Quark X is a handset, a new chipset by Motorola, or some other product, but some have speculated that it could possibly be the successor to the Moto X. (more…)

It’s actually not the choice of materials alone that makes a handset more or less prone to damage — screen breakage in particular. It’s the structural design in general. It’s what’s beneath that candy-colored shell that really counts.

As we’re sure many of you guys have heard by now that Lenovo will be acquiring Motorola Mobility from Google. While Lenovo might not necessarily be a company known for smartphones (more for their computers), they have managed to take acquisitions and successfully turn them into a moneymaker, like what they did with IBM’s ThinkPad lineup of laptops. That being said, will they be able to do the same with Motorola? And more importantly, how do other Android OEMs feel about it? Well it seems that at least one Android OEM doesn’t seem too bothered and it is none other than South Korean tech company, LG.

When asked if LG might be worried with Lenovo acquiring Motorola, Kim Jong Hoon, head of product at LG, was quoted as saying, “There are many talks over Lenovo and Motorola in the media right now and how it affects LG, but internally, we aren’t discussing much about it.” Given that Motorola hasn’t really put many handsets out there lately, save for the Moto X and Moto G, we guess LG is feeling pretty confident. After all the company’s LG G2 from 2013 was considered something of a hit, and the company recently announced its latest handset, the LG G Pro 2, but what do you guys think? Will this Lenovo-Motorola deal be something Android OEMs should be worried about?
