Photo of the Motorola Droid Turbo surfaces

In case you’ve been following rumours and updates about Motorola, Verizon is about to get the new Droid Turbo from them in the coming week. And more leaks have surfaced, including the photos of the new device. The supposedly-still-retired @evleaks just posted a photo of the Droid Turbo. In it you can see the Kevlar-inspired back, the 21-megapixel rear camera with dual-flash, and power and volume buttons.

Some of the other leaked specs include a 5.2-inch QHD display with Gorilla Glass 3, 3GB RAM, Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 2.7GHz processor, and 3,900mAh battery. We’ll get official word when the phone launches on October 28. However, if you are eager to get your hands on these you'll have to make your way to the US. The Droid line of phones are only available across the border.

iOS 8.1 coming today with features and fixes

 

In time to enable Apple Pay functionality in the US, iOS 8.1 is expected to roll out later on today. The update is mostly designed to help with Apple Pay features and should also make it possible to experience some of the messaging and calling features tied into Continuity features such as call and SMS relay and the return of the Camera Roll as well as iCloud Drive functionality. As with most iOS OTA (Over the Air Updates), we expect Apple's servers to get slammed for the first day or so making downloads take longer.

Sony Xperia Z2 and Z2 Tablet tipped to get PS4 Remote Play feature

It would make perfect sense if the six-month-old Sony Xperia Z2 and Z2 Tablet get the PlayStation 4 Remote Play feature. And if the slip up by Sony is any indication, we might be seeing it soon. The XperiaBlog found on the Xperia Lounge app mentions the Sony devices that will support the gaming feature when it comes out next month. Aside from the new Z3 devices, it would seem the Z2 and Z2 Tablet will be getting it, too. XperiaBlog believes this is part of the rumoured Android 4.4.4 update for the Z2 gadgets. We have to wait a bit more to see if there is any truth to this report.

.klatz smart bracelet turns into handset to pick up calls

Unless you are a Dick Tracy wannabe, talking to your smartwatches wouldn’t appeal to many. That’s where the Indiegogo project .klatz comes in. The smart bracelet doubles as a handset for talking on the phone. While it only has a 384-LED display, it promises a giant battery (which might be at least 600mAh) to last for 10 days. You can check out information on the project at the link below.
