Sunday TechKnow: Motorola Does it, Again

It's been a while since Motorola had launched Moto E in India, which had taken smartphone segment in India on storm. Now, Motorola had just opened its cards which will put Indian budget smartphone manufacturers/vendors under pressure. Just seven minutes before (9:50 am IST) Motorola has announced that it has begun rolling Android 4.4.4 for all its new gen Motos i.e. elder Moto X, mid-range Moto G and the little chap Moto E. The update will be up on the air in this week. Considering the fact that Motorola has been acquired by Lenovo, many folks had given up on further updates after 4.4.3.

Motorola Germany, few days back had said that the Android L update would roll out to Moto X and Moto G starting this fall, but later on Motorola official explained that it is nothing more than a hoax created by a fake Motorola Germany Facebook account.

 Motorola has been very fast with updates. Let it be its own applications, boot services with Football World Cup dedicated boot animation and much more. According to Motorola, in 4.4.4 update for its Moto series, there are several stability and framework fixes which will make usability smoother and interface a lot cleaner. Along with some updates there are minor applications update as well, for example new phone dialer and compatibility to Motorola's own Alert app. 

Just after the launch of budget Moto E, Indian people have seen array of KitKat based budget devices coming out from local manufacturers but Moto E's sales didn't affect much. Well built, great display, latest updates and to beat everything, the price of Rs. 6999. After burning Indian smartphone makers to ash, Motorola is in works to launch its secret weapon to devastate international brands, the Moto X+1. The device is supposed to feature a 5.2 inch 1080p display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, 2 GB RAM and 16/32 GB ROM, along with a 13 megapixel camera on the back and 5 megapixel shooter at the front. If rumours are to be believed Moto X+1 would launch in the same month of July and would cost around USD 399 (Rs. 26-28k).

The update though has begun, many users would get it gradually in coming days. We will keep an eye on the update and will report as soon as we are hit with one.
