The Motorola Moto X+1 gets the leaked photo treatment, still available with wood Back
If the Motorola Moto X’s August release last year is anything to go by, its successor, rumoured to be called the Motorola Moto X+1, should be released within the next month or so. Accordingly, the number of leaked sightings of the device has increased, and today we get a really nice look at it from all sides courtesy of Android Police (for even more pictures, hit the source link below). As expected, it’s looking a lot like the original Moto X, and looks like the Moto X+1 will also be available with wood back covers as shown in today’s pictures.
Notable differences on the Moto X+1 include the addition of a speaker on the bottom edge of the front face, giving the Moto X+1 a dual speaker arrangement. This additional speaker on the front appears to have replaced the speaker which resided on the back of the Moto X as there is no speaker grille on the wooden back cover. The leak also reports that the edge around the sides of the device are actually going to be alumnium, for those who like the metallic feeling. Previous rumours about the Moto X+1 say that the device is likely going to be 5.1-inches with a 1080p display and a Snapdragon 800 processor, and based on its predecessor’s performance, should be a very zippy device.
What do you think about the changes to the Motorola Moto X+1? Let us know your opinion in the comments below.

Alleged Moto X+1 poses for the camera
Motorola did a great job with the Moto X last year. That phone offered great user experience for a relatively affordable price. We say relatively because of its specifications, but that’s the thing with Moto X, despite not being at the very top as far as specifications go it offered so much for the price…. Read more »

Digital Tattoos to unlock your Moto X? Yeah, it is Real
At Google I/O they announced the upcoming Android L update. Inside L there were some cool new unlock abilities that would let your device bypass any pins or patterns, they called it Personal Unlocking. The device will use locations that you designate, Bluetooth devices that you connect that are authorized and even your unique voice print. There is another way to unlock your device that will by-pass those pesky pins and patterns, at least if you have a Moto X, and it is called a Digital Tattoo.
A partnership between Motorola and VivaLnk has produced a small, round RF module that can be adhered to your skin and is synced to your device. In turn, when your screen is on, you can tap it with the back of your phone and unlock the device. The little stick on is easy to stick to yourself and lasts for 5 days. It is also water-proof so you don’t have to worry about covering it up for showers, working out or swimming. The Digital Tattoos are available for purchase in a 10 pack for $9.99. Makes them just about a buck a piece.
While interesting, unique and innovative, I can’t say that I find it all that practical. Not when each one lasts about 5 days before it needs to be replaced. I certainly won’t be spending $10 every 45 days or so I can unlock my device from a sticker on my skin. I am sure there are some people out there though that might find it useful in the right situations in life, maybe while traveling or attending conferences or something where keeping your device secured is extremely important.
What are your thoughts on this little oddball piece of gadgetry?

You can now unlock your Motorola phone with a ‘digital tattoo’
Hate unlocking your Android smartphone so much that even Face Unlock or Skip feels like too much of a hassle? Motorola just came to your rescue. The company has partnered with VivaLnk to launch the previously teased Digital Tattoo, an NFC-based skin tag that unlocks your phone (currently limited to the Moto X) with a quick tap. The tattoo can stay on your body for up to five days, and it should survive abuses like showers and sweat-laden runs. It’s a clever approach that might be appealing if you’re fed up with PIN codes and patterns, although the back-of-a-napkin math suggests that you’re paying a lot just to save a couple of seconds when checking your email. VivaLnk is asking $10 for packs of 10 tattoos, or enough to last 50 days — you’ll have to spend $80 to get through a whole year. It could be useful for those busy days when you’re constantly waking up your handset, but you might be better off rolling that money into a Moto 360 or your next big phone upgrade.

Motorola is allegedly preparing 2 new smartphones which have nothing to do with the Moto line
Alleged Motorola’s Moto G 2 image and specifications leaked recently. Motorola is also expected to release a Moto X refresh this summer, dubbed Moto X+1. We have yet another Motorola rumor, but this time it has nothing to do with the Moto line.
Known leaker @evleaks shared a rather interesting sentence/leak with the world:
Upcoming Motorola devices: Abbagoochie and Valocia — both run on Snapdragon 801s (former is allegedly next handset in Droid Maxx line, with latter the next Droid Mini).
As he said, these 2 devices are expected to be Droid devices, not Moto devices. They will allegedly both run Snapdragon 801 chipsets, which is a great thing. He didn’t give us any additional information, but this could be a rather interesting if you’re living in the U.S. and are interested in the Droid line. These devices are of course expected to be a part of Verizon’s line of Droid devices.
Anyone out there still carry a “Droid”?

The Motorola Moto G2 allegedly gets spotted, will bring even more value for even less Money
The Motorola Moto G was one of the surprise standouts from the end of last year, and still stands as a monument to great value in the budget Android marketplace. We assumed that Motorola would want to ride that momentum in the budget market with a follow-up device, and sure enough, a photo of such a device has allegedly been leaked. This photo above is supposedly of this so-called Motorola Moto G2, and is accompanied by info that suggests the device will be even cheaper than the original Moto G.
And would you be getting lesser hardware for the cut in price? Absolutely not, says this leak. In fact, Motorola is apparently going to keep the brilliant 720p screen, bumping up the quadcore processor with Adreno 305 (which still sounds like a Snapdragon 400, but probably tweaked), and will allegedly also have a 8MP rear camera. Dual-SIM versions will again be available and the Moto G2 will go on sale towards the end of this year, if no early 2015. That pretty much fits in around the yearly anniversary of the Moto G, which will be a perfect time to replace the old with the new.

Alleged Moto G 2 image and specs leak
Motorola did a great job with the Moto G smartphone. It was (and still is) an extremely capable device while being extremely affordable. That being said, Spanish website “Mellando no Android” just leaked images and specifications of an alleged Moto G refresh.
According to the website, the device will sport rather similar specifications to the first-gen Moto G (at least some of them, we don’t get a full specs list), with the exception of camera resolution. According to them the device will feature a Snapdragon 400 chip, 720p screen (320 ppi), Adreno 305 GPU and an 8MP camera. As far as the looks of the device go, this resembles an awful lot to Moto E, though it seems bigger of course. You may notice the front-firing speaker in the image above.
Take this rumor with a pinch of salt though, although the rumor is rather interesting. Do you think Motorola would do something like this?
