Yesterday, Motorola announced two items.
First up is the new Moto X with a bigger, sharper screen, a faster processor and improved build materials. Here’s what it has under the hood:
- 5.2-inch Full HD 1080p Super AMOLED panel
- 2.5Ghz quad-core processor
- 2GB of RAM
- 16GB of internal storage
- 13MP rear camera with dual LED flash
- 4K video capture
- 2,300mAh battery
- Android 4.4.4 KitKat
- Option for a bamboo back case
These specs build on the original Moto X which was ground breaking at the time.
The second was the Moto 360 smart watch. Promising “all day” battery life, the Moto 360 can pair with any smartphone running Android 4.3 or higher. Users can then receive notifications about weather, flight alerts, traffic, and more through Android Wear. The device also includes built-in Google Now functionality, as users can say “Ok Google” to send texts, set reminders, see directions, and more. Existing Android apps such as Facebook Messenger and Lyft also work with Moto 360.
Telus has already reached out to me to say that they’ll be carrying both products. The Moto X will be available in black and bamboo . The Moto 360 will retail for $279. As I hear what plans that other Canadian carriers have, I’ll post it here.
