Quad-core Motorola ATRIX 3 revealed with 3300mAh battery (Rumour)

Quad-core Motorola ATRIX 3 revealed with 3300mAh battery (Rumour)

Posted on Feb 20, 2012 by MG15

This one could go either way, but I’m inclined to believe it based on Motorola’s history. A shot of a device has leaked that purports to be the ATRIX 3, complete with a 4.3-inch 720p screen, quad-core Tegra 3 processor, 2GB RAM and a whopping 3300mAh battery. Also note that the device in question does not have any capacitive buttons up front, which jibes with the previous render of Motorola’s Medfield-powered handset. And, since it’s about to be purchased by Google, it would make sense that future handsets would eschew those buttons for the Google-endorsed on-screen variety. Apparently the camera has received a bump to 10MP with dual LED flashes, but we can’t see around back to confirm. The ...

Verizon's Droid Bionic drops to $99, loses bundled microSD card

Verizon's Droid Bionic drops to $99, loses bundled microSD card

Posted on Feb 17, 2012 by MG1

Last month, Verizon dropped the price on the Droid RAZR while removing the bundled 16GB microSD card and now it's doing the same thing with Motorola's Droid Bionic. The handset will be available for $99.99 on contract (down from $299.99 when we reviewed it in September) and features 16GB of internal storage, a 1GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, and a 4.3-inch qHD display. We liked the Droid Bionic, but Verizon subscribers might also want to take a look at the 8GB iPhone 4 and theSamsung Stratosphere (for the hardware keyboard people out there) at the same price point before taking the plunge.

Motorola DROID 4 vs DROID RAZR MAXX vs entire Verizon Android lineup

Motorola DROID 4 vs DROID RAZR MAXX vs entire Verizon Android lineup

Posted on Feb 15, 2012 by MG1

If you head to a Verizon Wireless store today looking to purchase an Android smartphone, you’re very likely going to be inundated by offers to purchase Verizon’s own unique DROID line. I’m here to tell you that the current top choices for these Motorola-made smartphones aren’t necessarily your best choice for Android or 4G-laden devices – in fact they’re not even really your best choice for Motorola-made devices on Verizon. Instead, have a quick glance at some comparisons to some lesser-advertised devices sitting right next to these hero phones to gain a better understanding of what Verizon really has to offer.

Verizon Tempts Employees With Limited Edition Droid RAZRs

Verizon Tempts Employees With Limited Edition Droid RAZRs

Posted on Feb 15, 2012 by MG1

A life spent caught up in the drudgery of retail is usually pretty free of frills, but Verizon Wireless employees may soon be getting a shot at some swanky hardware if some newly-leaked images hold true. According to Android And Me, Verizon has reached out to their employees with an offer they may not be able to refuse: limited edition Droid RAZRs and Droid RAZR MAXXs.
And what’s so limited about these edition then? The employee-only Droid RAZR sports a red and black finish on its backside rather than the monochrome stylings of its more mundane brethren, along with the device’s number within the production run.

Motorola Medfield phone images leaked

Motorola Medfield phone images leaked

Posted on Feb 14, 2012 by MG1

The folks at Motorola have had their next Android device leaked, it appearing to have Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich onboard and tipped to be running an Intel-Powered Medfield processor powering it. This device has many hardware details appearing like the DROID RAZR and the DROID 4 that’ve been released just recently, a power button, volume up/down, and physical camera button all on the right side. This device would be the second device revealed to have the Medfield chip aboard, the first shown by Lenovo at CES 2012.

iFixit pries apart the Droid 4, strips slider to see its silicon insides

iFixit pries apart the Droid 4, strips slider to see its silicon insides

Posted on Feb 14, 2012 by MG1

Verizon's Droid 4 was officially released last week, so naturally, iFixit spent the weekend pulling the phone apart for all to see. Among the nuggets of knowledge uncovered during the teardown is the discovery that the fourth iteration breaks from Droid tradition in a couple of not-so-positive ways. First off, Moto decided to integrate the keyboard into the motherboard, meaning if one of your keys quits working, you'll have to replace the motherboard, too. Not only that, but the Droid 4's battery is purportedly no longer user-replaceable, though iFixit's deft disembodied hands were able to pry it loose with some effort. It's not all bad, as the teardown did confirm that the handset does, in ...

Motorola Gleam+ is a RAZR-like clamshell

Motorola Gleam+ is a RAZR-like clamshell

Posted on Feb 13, 2012 by MG1

Motorola launched a successor of its RAZR-like Gleam clamshell, simply called Gleam+. That “plus” is well deserved since the new device looks much better than the original Gleam model. Moreover, specs are also bumped up, though at its core Gleam+ remains a feature phone.
Speaking of specs, this fancy fella’ rocks a 2.8-inch WQVGA (240×400 pixels) internal display, external screen comprised of 144 LEDs, 2-megapixel camera with fixed focus, Bluetooth 2.1, FM radio, 3.5mm headset jack, and 50MB of built-in storage that is further expandable with microSD memory cards.

Motorola Motoluxe February launch for the UK

Motorola Motoluxe February launch for the UK

Posted on Feb 09, 2012 by MG3

Motorola kicked off 2012 by announcing the arrival of both the Motorola Defy Mini and Motorola Motoluxe budget Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) handsets, and the latter is landing in the UK this month.
The Motorola Motoluxe has a 4-inch touchscreen display. The resolution isn't exactly high-end but, for a handset that is likely to appeal to the limited purse-strings of the tween market, 480x854 is none too shabby either.

Motorola ATRIX 2 sees a new software update, but it's not for ICS

Motorola ATRIX 2 sees a new software update, but it's not for ICS

Posted on Feb 06, 2012 by MG1

Let’s get it out of the way, it’s not the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update that some handset owners are dreaming about in their sleep, but rather, the Motorola ATRIX 2 is seeing nothing more than a maintenance update.
Requiring owners to download the update via a Wi-Fi connection, the software update brings forth some new enhancements, tweaks, and fixes that will no doubt extend the handset’s functionality even further.
Specifically, it features improvements to the performance of the camera, the installation of the Google Music app, enhancements to deliver greater device security, addition of emergency alerts for things such as Hurricane warning notifications, improvements to the keyboa...

Motorola RAZR Developer's Edition to come with unlocked bootloader

Motorola RAZR Developer's Edition to come with unlocked bootloader

Posted on Jan 30, 2012 by MG1

Motorola apparently plans on slicing and dicing the Motorola RAZR with the Motorola RAZR DE (Developer's Edition) coming in Europe with an unlocked bootloader out of the box. The company says that the phone "allows us to continue meeting our carrier and regulatory obligations, but also meets the needs being expressed by our developer community." Motorola's blog post (that has since been removed but remained on Google Reader), says that the MOTODEV site would offer support for unlocking, relocking and locating build files for the "DE' model.
The MOTODEV site is also where U.S. consumers will find out about when a similar model that is being built for the States will be ready. Motorola has rec...

Early build of Ice Cream Sandwich for the GSM Motorola RAZR leaks

Posted on Jan 26, 2012 by MG1

There may be many different Android devices in the world today but there are still only a handful of decent custom user interfaces available. While we prefer stock Android over anything else, HTC’s Sense UI has been a favorite for many people for a while now. However, one thing we’ve never heard before is someone saying that they prefer Motorola’s custom UI Motoblur over anything else. Well, some of the first shots of the Motorola RAZR playing nice with Ice Cream Sandwich and Motoblur have arrived and some of you may like the new look.
From what we can see, Motorola has been pretty busy bringing Motoblur to Android 4.0 and some of the enhancements are pretty nice. First you, you’ll now have ...
