Moto X (Gen. 2) 'Pure Edition' With 64GB Storage Launched




Motorola has launched a 64GB variant of its
Moto X (Gen 2) smartphone. The smartphone
will be available in the US unlocked - or Pure
Edition as Motorola calls it - for $100 more
than the 32GB variant, which makes it $599.99
(roughly Rs. 37,900). Moto X (Gen 2) 64GB
variant with leather or wooden back panel
costs $624.99 (roughly Rs. 39,500).
Motorola announced the 64GB variant of the
Moto X (Gen 2) handset on Twitter. "New
64GB #MotoX Pure Edition now available.
Store more for just an extra $100 off-
contract," tweeted Motorola Mobility.
Motorola Moto X Pure Edition, for those who
are unaware, is a fancy name for the unlocked
version of Moto X (Gen 2). It is worth
mentioning that Motorola Moto X (Gen 2) is
only available in 16GB and 32GB variants
worldwide and the 64GB inbuilt storage stays
Moto X Pure Edition exclusive for now. So if
you've been waiting for a high capacity Moto
X smartphone but been put off by limited
storage, here's your chance, especially since
the Moto X does not come with expandable
storage.
To recall, the Moto X (Gen 2) features a 5.2-
inch (1080x1920 pixel) OLED display with a
pixel density of 423ppi, and Corning Gorilla
Glass 3 protection. The handset is powered by
a 2.5GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon
801 (MSM8974-AC) processor, coupled with
2GB of RAM. It also comes with a 13-
megapixel rear camera with a f/2.25 lens with
4K video recording and dual-LED ring flash, as
well a 2-megapixel front-facing camera
capable of 1080p video recording. A 2300mAh
battery backs the device.

Samsung India Says Sold 1 Million Tizen-Based Z1 Smartphones Since Launch

Image
After making a poor first impression in India since its launch in January, the Samsung Z1 seems to be doing reasonably well. Samsung India Electronics on Tuesday announced that it has sold a 'record' 1 million units of the Tizen-powered smartphone in the country. The company added it managed to achieve this milestone in less than six months since the launch. Samsung Z1 is the company's first smartphone to run on its Tizen operating system. The company has previously used the operating system on its Gear smartwatches, and televisions. Samsung had first unveiled a Tizen-based smartphone in June, the Samsung Z, but never did release it in its launch market in Russia - saying it was indefinitely postponed. Some of the advantages Samsung Z1 gets using the lightweight Tizen OS is a fast boot time, quick access to apps, and fast browser performance using compression. Also featured is a built-in SOS alert system that enables users to reach out for help by pressing the power butt...

Xiaomi vs Micromax: A tale of two smartphone brands

Image
The smartphone market is one of India’s fastest-growing business sector, and an increasing number of consumer electronics brands want a slice of the action. A number of players, both domestic and foreign, have entered this market in recent years with varying degrees of success. There’s no denying that the arrival of Chinese smartphone makers in particular has had a huge impact on domestic brands like Micromax and Intex. Companies that once dominated in terms of market share are now struggling to retain a foothold in this increasingly crowded space. To get a clear idea of how Chinese manufacturers have impacted the Indian smartphone industry, we have compared the market records of leading players from both nations: Xiaomi from China and Micromax from India. According to market research firm IDC, the Redmi Note 4 by Xiaomi was the highest-selling smartphone by volume in the first quarter of 2017, shipping 1.8 million units. It toppled South Korean giant Samsu...

HTC Desire 826 vs HTC Desire EYE: first look

Image
HTC did what it should have a long time ago, and moved its 4 MP UltraPixel snapper at the front, placing a more orthodox 13 MP camera at the rear of the newly-announced Desire 826 . We just took it for a spin, comparing it with HTC's original idea for a selfie-oriented handset, the Desire Eye, and found quite a few differences. Design The phones sport a largely similar design concept, with matte plastic unibodies that are very comfortable to hold, and rounded corners with a colored separation rim around the sides. The Desire 826 is, naturally, the larger, harder to handle phone, due to the increased screen diagonal, but the difference is not that crummy, since both are pretty big phones anyway, thanks to the embedded BoomSound stereo speakers at the front, requiring that you work them with both hands pretty often. The Desire 826 is notably heavier than the Eye, though. Display With a 5.5" 1080p display, the Desire 826 returns a slightly low...
