1. Motorola To Unveil a Priced-For-All Phone on May 13
Today is the first day of May, and the busy month for mobile manufacturers just started. After LG setting the May 27 event, it’s now time for Motorola to announce a new phone on May 13 in London.
Since Motorola is now during a transition from Google to Lenovo, we still don’t whether the new phone should taste like Google or Lenovo, but we know for sure that the new Motorola’s phone is promised to “Made to last and Priced for all” with the goal to connect more people to each other.
Since Motorola is recently mostly known for its budget phones, Moto G, and they have emphasized on announcing an affordable phone, we are guessing a refreshed version of Moto G is a promising option to be unveiled in London.
2. LG G Watch Might Launch in June for €199
Google introduced Android Wear on mid-March as the special Android edition for wearable devices, and LG and Motorola were the first company to be reportedly working on their sma rtwatches running Android Wear. While Moto360 is expected to absorb customers for its round design, G Watch is expected to provide a pure Android Wear experience.
