Motorola has confirmed that the Moto X will receive an Android L upgrade after the software makes its public debut this fall. The company has been incredibly quick to roll out Android updates for all Moto devices in recent months — much quicker than its competitors — and it has become a major selling point for the latest Motorola smartphones.
Best Buy has a great deal on the 8GB Moto G right now for those shopping for a midrange device that won’t break the bank. For a limited time, an unlocked model without contract can be had for just $179.99 — $40 off its regular retail price.
Motorola today announced some top-level management changes, which should help it to continue building on the success of the Moto G and Moto E.
Along with this announcement, the company also revealed that it managed to ship 8.6 million smartphones in Q2 of 2014 — a very impressive number considering the company was nearly on the brink of shutting down once.
Motorola has begun rolling out its Android 4.4.4 KitKat update for the Verizon Moto X and Moto G. The release contains the latest security fixes from Google — as well improvements to camera image quality and the ability to pause video recordings. It will almost certainly be the last these handsets get before Android L.
Images of an alleged “near-final prototype” Moto X+1 indicate the much-anticipated sequel to Motorola’s popular flagship will deliver a larger display and a better camera. The device is also expected to sport a more premium form factor with an aluminum chassis that isn’t completely unlike the HTC One’s.
