This might be what the Moto X4 will look like

We’ve gotten a whiff of what the upcoming Moto X4 is supposedly going to be packing when it is rumoured comes out late this year. Evan Blass (@evleaks) claims it’ll run on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 630 chip, 4GB of RAM, 64GB internal storage with microSD expansion, and a 3,000mAh battery. It’ll also reportedly have a Full HD display (no word yet on size), IP68 certification, and a dual-camera setup at the rear with 8-megapixel and 12-megapixel sensors as well as a 16-megapixel front-facing camera. On top of that there will also be a fingerprint sensor that is capable of recognizing gestures.

Now, Blass updates his story on the Moto X4 to add a photo of what it looks like. All gold and supposedly an aluminum-wrapped device, you can see the dual-camera setup at the back and minimal bezels to the side of the device. If this is the only color the phone will be available in, it’s certainly a flashy one. What do you think? Is this a device you’d want to get?

These are the rumoured specs of the Moto X4

Tipped to be the first non-Google-branded Project Fi-ready smartphone, the Moto X4 is said to be a pretty decent mid-range device. Evan Blass (@evleaks) shares some of the rumoured key specs of the device over at VentureBeat. It’s said to run on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 630 octa-core processor running at 2.2GHz, Full HD display, 4GB of RAM, 64GB internal storage with microSD expansion support, and a 3,000mAh battery. The X4 will said to have an IP68 certification to prevent water and dust ingress. Its focus will be on getting great photos with a dual-rear setup with an 8-megapixel and 12-megapixel setup at the back and a 16-megapixel front camera. The phone will also reportedly have a front-mounted fingerprint sensor that doesn’t just unlock the device, it can also supposedly recognize simple gestures to duplicate the functions of some on-screen navigation buttons. The Moto X4 is tipped to come out in the fourth quarter, which is just in time for holiday shopping season.

Google Pixel XL might get a size upgrade

Google Pixel XL review

Looks like Google wants to make a Pixel XXL, at least according to the latest rumours. It’s being reported that Google is shelving one of its upcoming Pixel smartphones in favour of releasing a bigger version of Google’s flagship device. A gadget codenamed Muskie was supposed to be the follow-up to the Pixel XL but Google is supposedly opting to release a device codenamed Taimen. It’ll supposedly have a larger screen and chassis compared to the Muskie. Walleye, which is said to be the second-generation Pixel device, will reportedly still be debuted. In case you didn’t know, Google has a thing for naming its upcoming smartphone and tablet releases as a water-dwelling creature. Keen-eyed reporters and Android followers have spotted these monikers on Android Open Source Project’s code repository.

The ‘OnePlus 5’ gets leaked

Speculation about OnePlus’ next device have already started to surface. The rumoured “OnePlus 5” is supposedly getting its name because the number four is considered bad luck in China so we might not see a OnePlus 4 show up. According to Chinese site PCPop, the OnePlus 5 will be carrying flagship worthy specs like its predecessors. Like the recently launched Samsung Galaxy S8, it’ll have very thin bezels and a fingerprint sensor at the back but should be in a more central position. Like the S8, it’s said to not be sporting a physical home button, too. As expected, there aren’t any actual photos of the device yet but PCPop offered the mockup shot above.

The OnePlus 5 is rumoured to be running on Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor, 8GB of RAM, 5.5-inch 2K resolution display, and 3,000mAh battery. It’ll supposedly just be 7mm thick and have a 23-megapixel dual lens rear camera with optical zoom and optical image stabilization. No word yet about when this device could launch or how much it’ll cost. But if we follow OnePlus’ previous releases it should come out in the summer and come at a competitive price.
