Motorola’s Upcoming Moto X +1 Rumored To Have Optical Zoom And 3D Parallax Display

AH Motorola Logo 1.1


After the final leak from evleaks hit the web the other day we have a somewhat closer understanding of the new Moto X, the Moto X+1, or whatever you want to call it. At least from the design point of view. We can see what Motorola wanted to do with the design and to some degree it was to keep things familiar but somewhat refined or perhaps even a little updated. For the most part though Motorola didn’t change much when it comes to looks. The new Moto X is a bit wider and a bit taller, but only slightly, just enough for the consumer to notice the differences. Minus the new camera of course, because damn the new lens is huge size wise, and there seems to be a reason for that, we’ll get to that in a bit.


Despite your feelings about the looks though where the new Moto X might begin to capture the attention of many skeptical consumers is perhaps in some of the new features. The original Moto X sold very well, it was a great handset, but it by no means captivated the whole of the smartphone world. Motorola may be attempting to try something a little bit different this time around with some new features. The latest rumor states that the new Motorola Moto X(Moto X+1)will house some sort of parallax 3D display technology with the touchless controls, which as we all know has had its hurdles in the past, but perhaps Motorola has something amazing planned on how to use it.


When we previously reported about the leak the day it showed up on the web, we pointed out that we were generally curious about what the new sensors on the bottom of the display could be. They resided in a similar spot to the Fire Phone, just inside the bezel so we immediately thought they could be sensors not too unlike the ones on Amazon’s device, but without jumping to conclusions we merely asked the question of what they could possibly be. If the rumors from HellomotoHK today are correct, than we were right in our theory and we couldn’t be any more curious to see how Motorola plans to utilize the technology and implement features to go along with it. Now let’s talk about that huge looking camera lens on the back. Motorola is also rumored to be including a(potentially 3x)optical zoom within the device for a more advanced picture taking experience, something they have never done before. There are other OEM’s thta have done this already, with higher zoom capabilities at that, however Motorola may have been able to pull this off while still keeping the phone relatively thin. We know that Motorola is scheduled to have an event on September 4th during IFA, and they’re expected to unveil the new Moto X, the new Moto G, the Moto 360 smartwatch and a new Bluetooth headset it seems, thanks to their teaser from about a week or two ago. With little time left(just over a week)before IFA which takes place in Berlin we should soon know what Motorola plans to bring to the table for this year’s flagship device. Are you excited?

LG G Watch R teaser video shows the round smartwatch coming at IFA 2014

lg_round_smartwatch_teaser


Last week, a report claimed that LG would be launching a G Watch successor in at IFA 2014 for a release this fall. A teaser for the said device has surfaced and it is going by the name G Watch R. The extra letter is the only difference in name, but the design will certainly be different. The “R” is representing the round, circular display featured on the smartwatch. The device does have button on the side, just like the Moto 360.


The smartwatch industry is going to be very crowded this fall. The Moto 360 from Motorola is (eventually) going to be here, ASUS is going to announce something next month, and this could be the year Apple gets involved with smartwatches. There were also grumblings that HTC has a smartwatch incoming.


Hit the break for the teaser video.

LG Teases A Round Smartwatch To Be Shown Off At IFA

Screenshot (1010)


Many of us are patiently waiting on the Moto 360 to release, but while we wait LG seems to be do the opposite and is preparing to show off its brand new smartwatch at IFA in Berlin which takes place in the beginning of September. At first the IFA unveiling of the second generation G Watch was just a rumor, but now it’s a rumor that LG gave some truth to this morning with the teaser video they put out about the upcoming smartwatch. If you weren’t a fan of the original LG G Watch we imagine it could be for various reasons. Perhaps you just didn’t like the look, or maybe you weren’t fond of the plastic makeup and want your watches to be made with premium materials. Some simply may have just disliked the square face, something that isn’t usually associated with watches.


At least on one level LG is ready to address an issue that some people have found with its first watch, and that’s with the square face. The teaser this morning from LG briefly teases their upcoming watch we’ll assume will end up being called the G Watch R, which hints at the coming of a round watch face to follow up the G Watch and its square design. LG has obviously taken note of the fact that more than a few people are interested in the Moto 360′s round style, and this has likely led them to decide on something round for their own next product.


While we don’t get a real good look at whatever the actual design of the watch will be, we do get a few glimpses of watch faces and near the very end of the video we can see a slight blip of the possible end design. This could also just be a mocked up reference design for the video itself. A couple of things are certain, LG is now competing with Motorola for the likes of customers who want a rounded face on their smartwatch, and they’ll be showing off the device at IFA. LG also took the time to point out that their smartwatch will have what they’re calling a completely round face, something that has been a common complaint over the 360 due to the black bar at the bottom of the display. Take a look at the quick video and then you can see a few screenshots of other watchfaces that were shown in the video.

[Weekend Poll] G Watch R: Hot Or Not?

nexus2cee_render1


Granted, it's not a pretty render, but it is a render of LG's upcoming G Watch R - a smartwatch that appears to be sporting a full circular display (no Moto 360 cutout) with more classic chronograph styling. Motorola's Moto 360, on the other hand, is just a sexy circle from the future.


LG's design would seem to appeal to a more traditional watch buyer, someone who wants a smartwatch that looks a lot like, well, a regular watch.
