Motorola DROID HD in Malaysia Price, Specs & Review

Pictures and some of the specifications of the Motorola Droid HD have appeared on the Web, giving the world its best look so far of this upcoming high-end smartphone. Among the highlights of this model will be a very large display, hi-res camera, and dual-core processor.

Motorola Droid HD will have a 4.5-inch touchscreen, larger than the majority of its rivals. The resolution of this display is not yet known, but given its name, this could be qHD (960 x 540) or 720p (1280 x 720). This is going to be set in to a slim design.

The Droid HD in the leaked image is running Android OS 2.3 (Gingerbread), but an upgrade to the next version of Google's operating system -- code-named "Ice Cream Sandwich" -- is certainly in development. This smartphone allegedly is going to include a dual-core 1GHz processor.

In addition, it will reportedly include an 8 megapixel rear-facing camera as well as a lower resolution front-facing one for video conferencing. A microSD slot is visible in one of the leaked images, and an HDMI video-out port is also going to be included, a feature on all of Motorola's recent high-end models.

The screen resolution for this handset isn't the only specification to remain a mystery. Other unknowns include internal storage capacity, battery capacity, and other features.

Motorola Droid HD Malaysia Release Date & Price:

It's also not yet known when Motorola is going to introduce the Motorola Droid HD, or what it's exact price is going to be.

Motorola DROID RAZR XT912 Malaysia Review

The Motorola RAZR is back – called Motorola Droid RAZR XT912 which revived as an Android-powered smartphone that’s thin, powerful, fast and ready to kick the competition around. Simply put, the Motorola Droid RAZR has something for everyone. It’s powerful with a 1.2GHz dual-core processor and has enough RAM to multitask like a monster without slowing down. Shutterbugs will also love the fact that it has an 8-megapixel camera that can shoot 1080p HD video and design freaks will flip out on the Motorola Droid RAZR’s Kevlar body and 4.3-inch qHD screen.

Laser-cut woven Kevlar fiber. That’s what the Motorola Droid RAZR is made from. That’s the texture on the back of the smartphone. To keep the phone from snapping in half,its frame and internal core is crafted from pure stainless steel. Only 7.1mm thin – making it the world’s thinnest smartphone, let alone 4G LTE phone. The device was made from premium materials (stainless steel, glass and kevlar).

The Motorola Droid RAZR has been designed to be resistant to water. It should survive rain or a beer/water spill without a problem we’ve been told. That said, don’t immerse it. While it has a coating that’s protecting it from regular spill, the design still expects gravity to move the liquid away quickly. Also the water could come in from the micrephone.

Keeping in line with most Android-based smartphones and of course the iPhone 4S, the Motorola Droid RAZR has a dual-core 1.2GHz processor and 1GB of RAM. It runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread and it just flies. We’re not joking – the Motorola Droid RAZR is the new king of Android. It can match Samsung’s Galaxy S II smartphones without breaking a sweat.

Battery life is optimized by Smart Actions – software tweaks that learn when to turn off power-hungry features like Bluetooth and GPS when you don’t need them, or shut down cellular data when you’re home or at the office on WIFI. The result is 30 percent better battery life (or so Motorola claims).Ports include a mini HDMI, microSD card slot (16GB of internal storage + 16GB memory card), and 3.5mm audio jack.

The Motorola Droid RAZR has an 8-megapixel rear camera capable of recording 1080p HD video. Firing up the app, the camera appears to be very fast, which is extremely important when you need to get a critical shot. There’s also an LED flash on the back as well. Just like the Droid X and X2, the Motorola Droid RAZR’s camera sits on a “hump” on the back, making it thicker than than the rest of the body. Depending on how you like to hold your smartphone, the hump might not be much of an issue.Located on the front of the Motorola Droid RAZR is a 1.3-megapixel camera that Motorola says can crank out 720p HD video recording for clear video conferencing. We didn’t get to test it out in our quick hands-on, but it should be of a caliber higher than the iPhone 4S’s VGA FaceTime camera.

It’s virtually impossible not to feel impressed the Motorola Droid RAZR’s qHD 960×540 resolution Super AMOLED Advanced screen. It’s really gorgeous and bright. Colors are very vibrant and the contrast is unbelievable (that’s an OLED after all). At 4.3-inches, the Gorilla Glass screen isn’t too large. I peg 4.5-inch as where it starts to become a bit too large for the average-sized hand. Typing on with the spacious keyboard is fantastic in both landscape and portrait mode.Conclusion:

Is the Motorola Droid RAZR the best Android smartphone? In terms of looks, it is definitely a contender. It’s sexier than Samsung’s Galaxy S II line in my opinion. It’s strong and slick. Battery life is pegged at 12.5 hours of talk time.

Motorola Edge 30 Ultra render reveals large 200MP camera and curved screen

If you recall, there was a report about two weeks ago on the upcoming Motorola flagship series. The company allegedly has a device codenamed 'Frontier' that will launch with a 200MP camera. Now, sources have found renders of the device in question.

Thanks to WinFuture, we can see that the so-called Motorola Edge 30 Ultra has a few distinct design characteristics. The first one is the display, which has curved sides and a punch-hole for the front camera. Another one is the back where the camera module is. You can see the large main camera that's using the rumoured 200MP sensor, plus what's suggested to be a 50MP ultrawide camera and 13MP telephoto camera.

The letters next to the camera seem to spell '194MP'

Interestingly, the main camera doesn't seem to be exactly 200MP. You can see a number that's etched on the camera module, and it's either '104MP' or '194MP'. Well, 194MP is pretty close to 200MP so it's still more or less accurate. Besides the camera, this device is expected to feature a 144Hz refresh rate display, Wi-Fi 6E support, and possibly a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Plus chipset.

Mind you, Motorola has been quiet in Malaysia so we don't know if this model would launch here. But if it does, would you be interested in buying it? Stay tuned to TechNave for more updates about this phone, and leave your thoughts in the comments below!

In addition, it's expected to come with a 6.67-inch P-OLED display with a refresh rate of 144Hz, 125W fast charging, and 50W wireless charging.

Motorola Edge S could launch globally as Moto G100

Remember the Motorola 'Nio' that was rumoured last year? At the time, it was believed that the device would arrive with a Snapdragon 865 chipset. We now know that this is the Edge S that's launching in China soon, but it's said that the device could also be launching globally.

According to Evan Blass, the global version of the Edge S will be called the Moto G100 'Tahoe'. It was previously rumoured that the phone will support a desktop mode similar to Samsung DeX, which you can see in the leaked image. This lines up with the rumour from last year, so we can probably assume that the feature will be available.

You can also hook the phone to Lenovo laptops

Besides that, there's also going to be a Moto G10 (Capri) and Moto G30 (Capri+). Allegedly, these two are from the same series, which means that they are also Edge series devices. If they aren't new devices, then they could be the Motorola Edge and Edge Plus launched in the US last year.

However, we won't know till Motorola makes an official announcement, so do take the news with a grain of salt. Having said that, would you be interested in any of the Motorola Edge series phones if they come to Malaysia? Let us know in the comments and stay tuned to TechNave for more news.


Motorola Edge S hands-on pictures and Antutu results spotted

It seems that a bunch of information and images regarding the Motorola Edge S may have been spotted on weibo, showcasing the design as well as the tech specs of the smartphone. While not much is known in regards to the release date, it does give us a better idea on what to expect when it is officially available in the global market.

Based on what was showcased on the Antutu benchmark results, it seems that the smartphone in question comes equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 chipset and it managed to score 679860 points. Other than that, do take some of the information with a grain of salt, due to the fact that Motorola has yet to provide an official statement on the leak.

Not only that, but there’s also no news on the Malaysia release date, local pricing, and exact tech specs for now. Would you be interested in getting the Motorola Edge S as soon as it is available in the local market? Let us know on our Facebook page and for more updates like this, stay tuned to TechNave.com.

Motorola isn't a brand that appears in leaks or rumours a lot. But when you see a few related ones pop up, it's quite likely that the product is coming soon. Case in point, the Motorola Edge S, which now has a launch date.

Thanks to a tweet from @TechnoAnkit1, we now know that the Motorola Edge S will be launching on 26 January 2021 (7:30 PM MYT). It's going to be unveiled in China first, with no news of a global launch thus far. Also, the tweet clearly shows that the device has a quad-camera setup at the back in square-alignment, along with a dual-LED flash.

Motorola Edge S First look pic.twitter.com/ZlMD218g74

We already know that the phone will come with a Snapdragon 870 chipset. Besides that, not much else has been revealed. However, we could use last year's Edge Plus as a reference, as it is also a Motorola flagship. In that case, we could expect the Edge S to have at least 8GB of RAM and at least 128GB of internal storage. It could also have an OLED display with at least a 90Hz refresh rate.

Of course, we won't know for sure until the launch in 2 days. This could be Motorola's chance to make a comeback, but what do you think the phone needs to really stand out? Let us know in the comments below and stay tuned to TechNave for further updates.


Motorola Edge equipped with SD765G and 6GB of RAM spotted on Geekbench

Based on a statement by Android Headlines, it seems that the Motorola Edge has been spotted on Geekbench with tech specs such as the Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G and 6GB of RAM.

In terms of the tech specs, other than what was mentioned above, the Motorola Edge is expected to come with a 6.67-inch 90Hz display and a 4500mAh internal battery. Camera-wise, it’ll have a 64MP + 16MP + 8MP triple-rear camera setup as well as a 25MP front-facing selfie camera.

Motorola Edge series released with 5G support, up to 5000mAh battery & more starting from ~RM2830

Motorola have been teasing their new smartphone flagship for a while now and finally, we got to see the unveiling of the Moto Edge and Moto Edge+. Most of the rumours match the official tech specs, design and features, they look really nice but don't expect them to enter Malaysia officially anytime soon (or ever). Anyway, here's what we know about the new Motorola phones.

Starting with the Moto Edge+, this 6.7-inch HDR10+ AMOLED phone features a Snapdragon 865 chipset as expected and can support up to 90Hz refresh rate. The memory capacity is high-end as well, using 12GB LPDDR5 RAM + 256GB UFS 3.0 storage. The battery is huge, packing 5000mAh and supporting 18W fast charging technology via USB-C. It also supports wireless charging (15W) and reverse charging (5W).

Like most new phones nowadays, the Moto Edge+ comes with a quad rear camera. It comprises a 108MP main wide-angle + 8MP telephoto + 16MP ultrawide + ToF 3D sensor, whereas the front camera is 25MP. The vanilla Moto Edge also has a quad rear camera, but the only difference is using a 64MP main wide-angle camera.

Speaking of the Moto Edge, it also has the same 6.7-inch AMOLED display and 90Hz refresh rate but minus the HDR10+ quality. The rest of the tech specs are mid-range tier, using a Snapdragon 765G chipset, 4GB of RAM (US versioN), 6GB of RAM (global), 128GB internal storage (with microSD support, which the Edge+ does not have). Finally, the battery is 4500mAh and retains the 18W fast charging technology, but doesn't support any wireless charging.

In terms of pricing, the Moto Edge+ is set to be launched in May at €1199 (~RM5646) while the Edge is €599 (~RM2820). Oh my, that's such a huge difference! As aforementioned, we won't likely see the new Moto Edge series in Malaysia since Motorola Malaysia is no more (#sadpanda). But what do you think? Let us know in the comments below and stay tuned for more trending tech news at TechNave.com.


3 Features the Huawei P40 Pro+ has that other phones don't

Pretty soon, the Huawei Mate 40 series will be unveiled globally but before we get there, we are going to take a look back at the Huawei P40 series. Launched in Malaysia a few months ago, the Huawei P40 and P40 Pro were met with some enthusiasm but it was the P40 Pro+ that stands above them with the highest tech specs and features.

Granted, there are a few flagships out there but the P40 Pro+ is quite a competitive device as well. So what are the 3 Features the HUAWEI P40 PRO+ has that other phones don't? Well, read on below to find out.

The Ultra Vision Leica Penta Camera module

To refresh your memory, the P40 Pro+ packs a 50MP Ultra Vision camera and the rest are slightly different for each model. For the P40 Pro+, you get a 50MP (main) and a 40MP ultrawide lens, followed by an 8MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom and the other 8MP camera with a whopping 100x max zoom thanks to the periscopic lens. The fifth sensor is a ToF sensor to help autofocus, portrait mode, and some of the advanced video modes.

Speaking of video modes, there's 4K video recording mode with up to 60FPS, and good low-light camera software for the best low-light performance possible. Moreover, there's also the "Golden Snap" which has AI Best Moment, AI Remove Passerby, and AI Remove Reflection. These AI photography features offer users an easier way to post-edit their photos by removing passers-by, remove reflections and take the best moment shot. With this, the Penta-camera is indeed the P40 Pro+'s key selling feature.

With Huawei Share, you can do a simple tap with the P40 Pro+ on various Huawei devices such as the MateBook and the MatePad Pro 5G. With the Multi-Screen Collaboration, you can drag files from one device's user interface to the other to transfer files as well as viewing the contents saved in the smartphone directly on the tablet without switching.

The company also integrated a Multi-Device Control Centre where it lets you see every connected device, as well as intelligently recommends nearby devices that can be used to improve the current user experience. For example, when a user is listening to music on Huawei Music player with the Huawei Sound X nearby, the Multi-Device Control Panel will suggest switching the audio output to the smart speaker to get better sound quality. You can also connect your smartphone with the speaker using the One-Tap feature!

It's also worth mentioning about MeeTime which is a video-calling tool by Huawei that can be used on either a Huawei phone or tablet. On top of that, it supports 1080p resolution during video calls and Screen Sharing. As the name suggests, Screen Sharing is an option within MeeTime that lets you share a screenshot to your friend or family member during a call.

Finally, Petal Search is a new search engine released in June and its role is to help you search content, news as well as apps that have yet to be added to the AppGallery. With this, Petal Search will direct you to third-party app stores to download the app you are looking for.

To start using Petal Search, all you have to do is add the Petal Search widget on the phone's homepage and you can start searching for your favourite apps, then download and install them. The feature will display the most relevant results according to your search, highlighting what you can download from the Huawei AppGallery, install via an official link, utilize the web version, or install from a third-party store.

So what do you think of these features from the Huawei P40 Pro+? As Huawei continues to build up its 1+8+N Together 2020 campaign, they will continue to offer consumers the chance to experience smarter lifestyle with their Huawei ecosystem. If you want to learn more about the company's Together with Just One Tap campaign, you can visit the link here to check it out. Stay tuned for more tech articles at TechNave.com.

Motorola G series smartphone with Snapdragon 888 could launch in 2021

Following the launch of Qualcomm's Snapdragon 888 flagship chipset, more brands have announced development for devices featuring it. During the launch, companies that already have plans for a device featuring the chipset were revealed and one of them is Motorola.

Interestingly, Motorola announced that 2021 would be the 10th anniversary of the Moto G and that they would be proud to bring an "800 series experience to this family". The Snapdragon 888 chipset wasn't specified, but it definitely sounds like Motorola may launch a G-series device with the flagship chipset. If true, it would be the first time we see a Motorola G device that's not an entry-level or mid-range device.

Having said that, a Motorola G-series phone with a Snapdragon 888 chipset isn't completely out of the realm of possibility. The company may want to develop a device that has the powerful performance and features offered by the chip at a more reasonable value. For example, something like the Xiaomi Mi 10T, which is a flagship but costs only RM1699. This fits the Motorola G series' focus on delivering value-for-money.

Of course, for all, we know this Moto G device could come with a different Snapdragon 800 series chipset. It's best to wait and see what Motorola has up their sleeves. With that said, would you be interested in an affordable Motorola smartphone with a flagship chipset like this? Let us know in the comments below and stay tuned to TechNave for future updates on this.


Motorola G9 Plus expected to launch soon as price leaks

We haven't been hearing much about Motorola lately, but the brand still has some presence in certain regions like Europe. Now owned by Lenovo, the company has been releasing mostly mid-range phones. One upcoming model is the Moto G9 Plus, which may be coming soon now that its price was leaked.

Tipster Sudhanshu posted a screenshot that shows the price of the Moto G9 Plus. It's a variant of the device featuring 4GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage, priced at 277.15 Euros (~RM1341). As for the chipset, last year's Moto G8 Plus featured the Snapdragon 665 chipset, so it's reasonable to believe that the G9 Plus could feature the Snapdragon 765 chipset.

Seems like Motorola moto g9 plus launch might not be so far.#motog9plus #motog9series pic.twitter.com/lFRTBCk6Zl

In terms of features, we can probably expect it to retain a lot of what's available on the Moto G8 Plus. This includes a rear fingerprint sensor and dual-SIM support, while the OS should be upgraded to Android 10. As for cameras, we expect at least a triple-camera at the back with at the main camera of around 64MP and a front camera of 32MP.

Unfortunately, we don't know what the phone looks like as there's no render or official image. We also don't have any official confirmation from the company about this phone, so do take the news with a grain of salt. Having said that, will you be interested in this Motorola smartphone if it launches here? Let us know on our Facebook page and stay tuned to TechNave.com for further updates.

Motorola Malaysia launches low-entry Moto C and E4 series with big battery power from RM399

Aside from the Moto Z2 Play, Motorola Malaysia also showcased their newest Moto C and E4 series - Moto C, Moto C Plus, Moto E4, and the Moto E4 Plus. These smartphones are low-entry devices and each are priced below RM800. With this, you can also expect their tech-specs to be less powerful. Below is the official tech-specs:

USB micro port and headphone jack are at the top

The USB micro port and speaker grill are the bottom, headphone jack is at the top

As low-entry devices, there is nothing much to see with the given tech-specs. But it's worth mentioning that the Moto C Plus and E4 Plus battery are quite huge, packing 4000mAh and 5000mAh battery pack respectively. All four devices have fast charging capabilities so that's something not to worry about. In addition, both the Moto E4 and E4 Plus have fingerprint sensors which is unusual for the low-entry market range.

The Moto C, Moto C Plus, Moto E4, Moto E4 Plus are now available at all authorized Lenovo Mobile dealers and retail outlets. Stay tuned for more Motorola news at TechNave.com.


Motorola Moto 360 hands-on video

The Motorola Moto 360 smartwatch looks very good as one of the few round smartwatches out in the market. While it hasn't officially arrived here in Malaysia yet, it is available at third-party sellers like SatuGadgetDotCom and DirectD for as low as RM899. We managed to get some hands-on time with this round timepiece and checked out it's elegant design, comfortable premium leather strap and awesome looking watch faces. Check it out in for yourself in the Motorola Moto 360 hands-on video below:


Motorola Moto 360 review - The best looking Android Wear smartwatch yet

The first smartwatches to come out often looked like thick squarish slabs of touchscreen on a strap. They offered limited usability as companion devices to your smartphone or mobile device and couldn't do much on their own. The Motorola Moto 360 smartwatch changed all that by by being the first round smartwatch and now, there are many other round smartwatches as well. Motorola went on to claim that the Moto 360 would actually look and feel like existing watches. Did they manage to do that and still deliver an awesome smartwatch experience? We find out in the full review of the Motorola Moto 360 below.

In terms of design, the Motorola Moto 360 is elegant, light and one of the thinnest smartwatches we've tried so far. Coming with a fine leather (imported Horween leather no less) strap the smartwatch is one of the few that can fit my huge wrist and at 49g is super comfortable to boot. The round touchscreen watchface also looks awesome with a premium brushed metal side and chamfered glass touchscreen. A heartbeat monitor and other sensors line the bottom but don't require you to have the watch strapped tight to work. In addition, the Moto 360 charges wirelessly with a Qi charger cradle included in the bundle so there are no unsightly ports either. In terms of functions, the Moto 360 packs a pedometer and accepts Android Wear compatible notifications and commands via Bluetooth. So while most of the functionality comes from your smartphone, it can also do some stuff on it's own.

This is the best looking and most comfortable smartwatch we've tried so far

While we only had the comfortable leather strap to play around with, it is interchangeable and there are different materials (metal, plastic, etc.) and other coloured straps to go with it. The watch face designs are also interchangeable but regardless of which design you choose, there will always be a small portion of the watch face blackened out at the bottom. According to Motorola this is because the ambient light sensor is there and needs the black coloured bit to work properly. This is the only part of the design that seems a bit off as no other smartwatch has this black coloured bit that does nothing.

Check out our hands-on video of the Motorola Moto 360 smartwatch

Let's face it, while Android Wear has potential, the amount of things you can do right now with it are severely limited. Yes, you can use WhatsApp and a few other apps to check notifications, but trying to get answer messages, either with the keyboard or through voice commands is both irritating and inaccurate. Trying to send a message to my wife through voice to "be safe" alternately got interpreted as "sex", "Do you think" and "Redbox" so it isn't nearly as good as Google Translate just yet. Typing on the tiny keyboard isn't very easy either. However, despite the older TI OMAP 3 processor, there was nearly no lag. There were some hangs once in a while, but this can be resolved with a reboot. While the pedometer works it also isn't very accurate but thankfully the heart-rate monitor makes up for this by offering fairly accurate readings.

Battery life is about 4-5 hours on normal usage, 8 hours on minimal and 12 hours if you just read the notifications. You will need to wait a bit more than 2 hours to get a full charge. Regardless, the watch does not get hot and remained comfortable throughout testing. Since we didn't have all that long to test it, the Moto 360 seems durable enough for the most part, but some reviewers have remarked that the leather strap gets a little worn down after a month or two but this is entirely down to how you treat your timepieces.

It needs Android Wear to work which is rather limited to what it can do for now

Overall, the Motorola Moto 360 is one of the few smartwatches out there that looks and feels like an actual watch. It's design is beautiful asides from the one black strip of flaw in the watch face interface. However, the battery life, functions and performance mark it as one of the worst smartwatches to get. This may improve as Android Wear continues to improve as recent updates have managed to lengthen battery life and increase functionality. However, this applies to practically every other Android Wear smartwatch as well. Priced at around RM899 with third-party sellers like SatuGadgetDotCom and DirectD, the Motorola Moto 360 is more affordable than most uglier looking smartwatches but you do pay a price in terms of functionality and battery life. But, if you want a smartwatch that looks and feels like a traditional watch and don't care too much about functionality, then you should definitely give the Motorola Moto 360 a try.


Motorola Moto 360 smartwatch goes circular

We've been hearing news and rumours that Motorola would be coming out with a smartwatch for quite some time, especially since they were so close to Google at the time but it seems that now is the time for them to reveal it. Calling it the Motorola Moto 360 smartwatch, the device looks to use a circular touchscreen, premium metal frame and a choice of leather, plastic or metal wrist bands as you need them. While Motorola have not provided detailed information regarding tech specs and features just yet, it will be powered by Android Wear, Google's recent wearable only operating system designed for wearable devices. While we've seen round smartwatches before, the Motorola Moto 360 makes them look ugly by comparison. Check out the intro video for yourself below:


Motorola Moto 360 unboxing video

As the first round smartwatch the Motorola Moto 360 not only turns heads for it's gorgeous good looks but also for it's gorgeous round box. We take a closer look at what else comes with the Motorola Moto 36 smartwatch in our unboxing video below. While it isn't available officially, the Motorola Moto 360 is available for around RM899 at third party sellers like SatuGadgetDotCom and DirectD. Tech specs and features include Android Wear, a heart rate sensor, pedometer, wireless charging and more. Stay tuned for the hands-on video and full review in a bit.

Motorola Moto E (2015) officially announced, packs in 64-bit processor and 4G LTE

Joining the growing ranks of entry-level smartphones with 4G LTE is the Motorola Moto E (2015) smartphone with it's recent official announcement. Asides from that, the new Moto E has a larger 4.5-inch display with Gorilla Glass 3 and 540 x 960 pixel resolution. There is also a VGA front camera as well while the 5MP rear camera can now record 720p HD video. The main tech spec upgrade remains the 64-bit quad-core Snapdragon 410 processor which in turn enables 4G LTE. A lower-end Snapdragon 200 powered version with 3G connectivity will also be made available but no news when. While it doesn't have any IPx7 water proof certifications the new Moto E does feature a water resistant coating so it should be somewhat splash proof. No Malaysia release dates or pricing yet but the 4G LTE capable Moto E will be available for $150 (RM539).


Motorola Moto E coming to Malaysia soon for below RM500

Like quite a few other smartphones, the Motorola Moto E was recently spotted on the SIRIM database and that we will be getting the Dual-SIM version. While this still means we don't know official Malaysia pricing or Malaysia release dates, the Moto E has already been priced in India for 6999 rupees (RM374). Tech specs and features are decidedly lower end but it will be a smartphone with fast and guaranteed Android updates. For now, check out the full tech specs for the Motorola Moto E below:


Motorola Moto E officially announced for $129 (RM416)

While we've already seen the Motorola Moto E and all it's tech specs, Motorola have finally done the official announcement for the company's answer to new entry-level smartphones. Featuring the same rounded look with many differently coloured plastic shells, the Motorola Moto E is a 4.3-inch display smartphone with a dual-core processor and other above average tech specs at a fairly reasonable price of $129 (RM416). The most important feature remains the fact that it is running on Android 4.4 KitKat right out of the box and will likely get updates faster than normal. While there is still no specific Malaysia release date or localized pricing, it is expected to arrive in the next few weeks. Confirming some of the tech specs we covered earlier, the Motorola Moto E comes packing with the following tech specs:

Motorola hopes to influence feature phone buyers with the Moto E, even offering a campaign to switch from feature phones to the Moto E. While we definitely congratulate Motorola for cutting the price, here in Malaysia there are many more smartphones with better tech specs at below RM400 prices (the RM299 ASUS ZenFone 4 comes to mind). Simply adding on a bit less than RM100 will get you the midrange-class Huawei Honor 3C, so kudos to Motorola, but this is probably a bit underpowered for it's price for smartphone buyers here. The always on feature, water resistant splash guard, build quality and latest Android update guarantee should be tempting for some though, so do check out the video below:


Motorola Moto E22s release: 6.5-inch 90Hz LCD display and 5000mAh battery at ~RM711

Motorola has recently launched the Motorola Moto E22s, its latest offering in the affordable smartphone segment in Europe. A cheaper version of the Moto G22 with lesser specs, the main highlight of the device has got to be its 6.5-inch 90Hz IPS LCD display with a resolution of HD+.

Moreover, the display also sports a punch-hole cutout to house an 8MP selfie camera. At the back of the smartphone lies a dual-camera setup with a 16MP shooter coupled with a 2MP depth sensor.

Under the hood, the Moto E22s is powered by a MediaTek Helio G37 SoC coupled with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. There’s also a 5000mAh battery with support for only 10W charging.

Other notable specs include a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, face unlock, Android 12 OS, microSD card slot and two colour variants of Eco Black and Arctic Blue. It is priced at EUR159 or ~RM711 in Europe with availability in other regions not yet revealed by Motorola.

So, what do you guys think of the Moto E22? Would you grab one if it’s available in our country? Share your thoughts with us in the comments below and stay tuned to TechNave for more trending tech news!


Motorola Moto E32s release: Helio G37, 6.5-inch 90Hz display, 5000mAh battery and IP68 rating from ~RM700

Motorola is further solidifying its grip on the budget smartphone segment with the release of yet another compelling offering, the Motorola Moto E32s. A variant of the Moto E32 which was released earlier this month in Europe, the Moto E32s features a MediaTek Helio G37 chipset under the hood coupled with either 3 or 4GB of RAM.

In terms of display, it sports a 6.5-inch LCD panel with a 90Hz refresh rate. However, the screen only has a 720 x 1600 pixel resolution and has a punch-hole cutout in its top middle to house a 8MP selfie camera.

Sticking with cameras, the Moto E32s has a 16MP main + 2MP depth + 2MP macro triple-camera setup at its rear. Besides that, it has a 5000mAh battery with support for 18W fast charging.

Other notable specs include either a 32GB or 64GB internal storage, Android 12 and a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. Impressively, this budget smartphone even has a IP68 rating, making it one of the cheapest devices you can get with the rating.

Speaking of which, the Moto E32s starts from just EUR149 or ~RM700 for the 3/32GB variant. As for the 4/64GB variant, the pricing has yet to be revealed by Motorola. Moreover, the device comes in a Misty Silver and Slate Gray colour options.

Motorola Moto E7 Plus benchmarked, sports Snapdragon chipset and 4GB RAM

We can probably expect the Moto E7 Plus to look similar to the Moto E7

It seems Motorola is going strong with its mid-range game. In the latest piece of new, a benchmark record for the Moto E7 Plus was found on Geekbench. This is an upgraded version of the Moto E7 with better specs. But the main difference is that it's expected to feature a new Snapdragon chipset.

The phone's benchmark score was found listed on Geekbench 4. It shows that the device has a motherboard named 'guam', an unknown Snapdragon chipset, and 4GB of RAM. According to MySmartPrice, the phone is most likely equipped with the new Snapdragon 460 chipset. This chipset has an octa-core CPU running at 1.8GHz, which lines up with info found on the benchmark record. It's also supposed to have an Adreno 610 GPU.

Allegedly, this phone could also be a rebranded variant of the Moto G9 Play that appeared on Geekbench a few weeks ago. However, that phone had a 'guamp' motherboard and is rumoured to be using a Snapdragon 662 chipset. If Motorola is going to rebrand the Moto E7 Plus, the only variant it could end up being is the Moto G9 to go with the Moto G9 Plus.

Of course, a lot of these are conjecture without proof, so do take it with a pinch of salt. But if Motorola somehow decides to bring this phone to Malaysia, would you be interested in getting it? Let us know in the comments below and stay tuned to TechNave.com for more news like this.


Motorola Moto E7 Plus spotted on Geekbench and it'll come with 4GB RAM and SD460 chipset

It seems that the Motorola Moto E7 Plus has recently been spotted on Geekbench, hinting that the smartphone is expected to come equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 460 chipset, as well as 4GB of RAM. But that’s not all, there’s a seemingly official poster of the aforementioned smartphone hinting that it will come equipped with up to 48MP with a dual-camera setup in the rear.

In addition to that, it seems that the smartphone will also come equipped with a 5000mAh internal battery while the charging speed remains largely unknown. With all that said, do take some of the information with a grain of salt, due to the fact that Motorola has yet to provide an official statement on the leak.

Furthermore, there is no news on the Malaysia release date, local pricing, and exact tech specs as well. Would you be interested in getting the Motorola Moto E7 Plus as soon as it is available in the local market? Let us know on our Facebook page and for more updates like this, stay tuned to TechNave.com.


Motorola Moto G Ferrari Edition officially announced in Mexico with kevlar backside

Motorola has also announced the Motorola Moto G Ferrari Edition but just for Mexico for now. Priced at 4999 pesos (RM1249) the smartphone is basically a Motorola Moto G with 4G LTE packing 16GB of storage. Other tech specs and features are the same as the newly announced Motorola Moto G with 4G LTE including the quad-core Snapdragon 400 processor, 1GB RAM, 4.5-inch display with 720 x 1280 pixel resolution, 5MP rear camera and Android 4.4 Kitkat. The only difference here is a kevlar back casing with Ferrari branding on the front and back. While it will be available in Mexico from June 2014 there is no information on Malaysia release dates or pricing. If it does come here in Malaysia, it will likely be through third-party sellers for now.


Motorola Moto G Forte is official, but is only shock-resistant

The Motorola Moto G Forte has been officially announced at Motorola Mexico. Unfortunately, it isn't the more rugged, waterproof and dustproof Moto G we were hoping for. Instead, it is just a standard Moto G that comes with a Motorola Grip Shell casing. The Grip Shell casing is a rubberized casing which offers a bit more protection for shock, but won't stop water or dust from damaging your Moto G (and your screen will still crack if it falls the wrong way). As expected, tech specs remain the same with a quad-core Snapdragon 400 processor and 4.5-inch display but the Motorola Moto G Forte looks to be just for the Latin America market for now.[Source]


Motorola Moto G LTE officially announced from $219 (RM706)

Following the OPPO R1s, the Motorola Moto G is also getting a 4G LTE refresh with the official announcement of the Motorola Moto G with 4G LTE. So far, there aren't any plans to name this version any differently than the existing Moto G, but it will come with some additional tech specs and features. The most notable of these is support for 4G LTE along with support for up to 32GB of microSD flash memory. The pricing for the Motorola Moto G with 4G LTE is also different and is set at $219 (RM706). No news on Malaysia release dates or pricing just yet, but we expect this smartphone to appear soon, or at least in the coming weeks. The original Moto G is expected to continue being sold for more or less the same price tag.[Source, Source]


ASUS ZenPad 3S 10 tablet announced for about RM1727

ASUS have also announced their ASUS ZenPad 3S 10 tablet which really looks to follow in the footsteps of the ASUS ZenFone 3 Ultra right down to the DTS X headphone audio tech, dual 5-magnet speakers and flat and thin design with rounded metal frame. It is thin at just 5.8mm and super light at 430g but features a 9.7-inch display with 1536 x 2048 pixel resolution, somewhat similar to the Apple iPad Air 2.

However, it is powered by a hexa-core MediaTek MT8176 processor with 4GB RAM. No Malaysia release dates or pricing details yet but it is going for 379 euros (RM1727). No news yet on why we still haven't seen any new ASUS ZenPad 3S tablets, but perhaps ASUS Malaysia are taking a wait and see approach with their current ASUS ZenFone 3 range.

Check out the ASUS ZenPad 3S 10 tech specs below:


Motorola Moto G battery life benchmark is just awesome

Apart from being a price-busting smartphone with excellent features and a mix of good to above average tech specs, the Motorola Moto G now has another awesome achieve to add to it's repertoire. Featuring a battery life of 7 hours and 12 minutes for continuous usage, the energy sipping performance of the Moto G even beats the previous record holder of the Motorola RAZR MAXX despite just having a non-removable 2070 mAh battery. Bear in mind that this is for continuous usage, and that normal usage should result in about 2 days or so on a single charge, which is just awesome performance for any modern smartphone. Check out the chart below for a clearer look at the competition:


Motorola Moto G officially announced, coming to Malaysia December or January

Motorola has finally launched their Moto G smartphone. The little brother of the previously released for-US-markets-only Motorola Moto X, this smartphone is the international version of the Moto X and while it doesn't offer as many customization options, it makes up for it by offering some impressive midrange specs and an entry-level price. Going for an awesome price of $179 (RM571) without any SIM card, the Moto G could easily be Motorola's smartphone solution for the masses. Tech specs for the Motorola Moto G include:

Retaining some Moto X features, the Moto G also has differently coloured backs and shows off the Google experience. There weren't any Malaysia release dates but the Moto G will be released for selected Asian countries in December 2013 with a full release in January 2014. Hopefully the price remains the same. For more information check out the Motorola site. The Moto G comes packing Android 4.3 but Google have revealed that you will get a guaranteed Android 4.4 KitKat upgrade with the Moto G soon.


Motorola Moto G22 release: 90Hz display and 50MP quad camera setup starting from ~RM789

Motorola has officially unveiled the Moto G22 in the European market, the latest smartphone release from the tech company for the budget segment that is priced from €169.99 (~RM789). Announced yesterday (3 March 2022), the Moto G22 is available in either a 4GB + 64GB or 4GB + 128GB configuration and supports up to 1TB of expandable storage.

Under the hood, the device is powered by a MediaTek Helio G37 chipset and packs a 5000mAh battery which Motorola claims can last up to 37.8 hours of use. The battery also supports up to 15W of fast charging.

In terms of cameras, the G22 has a quadruple camera system at its rear. The 50MP primary lens supports Quad-Pixel technology and its sensor is said to deliver 12.5MP images. It will be assisted by an 8MP ultra-wide lens and two 2MP sensors.

The G22 also features a 6.5-inch Max Vision display that has a refresh rate of 90Hz as well as an HD+ resolution. The display is also a punch-hole panel that has narrow bezels on all sides, except for the bottom bezel which is quite thick.

Other notable features include a 3.5mm headphone jack, Android 12 OS out of the box, USB Type-C and a fingerprint scanner on its side. Overall, this looks like a pretty solid budget offering from Motorola.

Motorola Moto G30 and Moto E7 Power spotted. Launch happening very soon?

It seems that the Motorola Moto G30 and Moto E7 Power might have been spotted on winfuture.de, hinting that it will most likely be launching very soon. Unfortunately, there’s no news on the Malaysia release date so you might check back with us for more updates in the near future.

In terms of the tech specs, the Motorola Moto G30 might come equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 chipset, 6GB RAM, 128GB ROM, 6.5-inch IPS HD+ display, as well as a 5000mAh internal battery.

Motorola Moto G5 Plus review - Another worthy camera-centric mid-range phone

“Wait, Motorola is still around?” said one of my friends when I showed them the Moto G5 Plus. Yes, that’s how “light” it is when it comes to brand presence. In a country like Malaysia, where we are surrounded by Apple, Samsung, and Huawei billboard advertisements, Motorola is like one of those kids who aren’t in the current cool gang, even though they were the former trendsetters who made the first mobile phone. However, Motorola is making a comeback in Malaysia (particularly with how the Moto Z2 Play event went recently) which you can see with our review of the Moto G5 Plus below.

Before we get to the best part of the phone, the design aspect of the phone is solid but not really breathtaking. While it has the trademark Moto circular camera bump on the rear, a protective casing should keep it from getting scratches. The body is full metal with a solid build and some nice curves on the four edges, but no removable backside means that the battery is also not removable.

The fingerprint sensor at the front can’t be pressed, but it can be used to switch off the phone should you wish to

The full metal back with the big camera bump, it also comes in Grey, by the way

Nice to carry around actually, good thing it’s not a fingerprint magnet despite being metal

Here are the specifications for the Moto G5 Plus:

The Moto G5 Plus is your average smartphone with mid-range tier specifications, as you have the Snapdragon 625 processor, 4GB RAM, 32GB storage, a 5.2-inch FHD display in 1080p, a fingerprint scanner, a pure Android user interface experience and a 3000 mAh battery + their trademark TurboPower charger. It can record 4K video too, but from my field test it's nothing to be wow'ed for because like most phones, a stabilizer is still much needed for smooth recording.

The main highlight here is the Dual Pixel autofocus on the main camera sensor, which is a rare sight as very few phones currently have it. This makes this midranger phone a camera-centric device but we will talk more about that later.

Besides that, the phone has some tricks up its sleeves. It features some motion sensing technology that allows you to do certain tasks without going to the home page. Shake twice to turn on the flashlight, shake twist to open the camera app. It does sound a bit silly having to shake to do that, but it’s really convenient once you get used to it.

There is only one thing that disappointed me, though, which is the panorama mode in the camera features. For some reason, the panorama image I took is really short. In fact, I’m not even sure if it can be considered to be one (lol). Okay, being short is one thing, but having to process it after taking the shot is another.

On the performance side, the G5 Plus does quite well. The battery can last a day easily after taking it for a camera testing spree for two days in a row. Even though it is covered in full metal, heat was barely an issue and it can play demanding games such as Asphalt 8: Airborne, thanks to the Adreno 506 GPU running on 650MHz. The TurboPower charge is superb too, able to fully charge the phone up in just one and half hours from 10%.

After an afternoon of gaming and taking pics

Connectivity is excellent too if your telco line is visible, this was taken in a rural cafe area before Bentong

As mentioned before, the Moto G5 Plus is a camera-centric smartphone and certainly took me by a surprise after seeing how the images turned out. There is almost nothing the phone cannot take a good shot of, and this includes low-light environments where its dynamic range was displayed impressively. However, it’s not perfect though, because sometimes it has a bad habit of taking in too much light when on automatic (you can solve this by adjusting before you take the shot). If you know what you're doing, Pro mode can really turn out some impressive shots, much more than you'd expect for a cameraphone in this price range.

Anyway, check out our picture samples below.

The short panorama picture that I was talking about earlier

Auto close up shot no.2, nice bokeh there

Selfie auto mode in a low-light environment

See how much flare the sensor picks up the light from the lamp post

By all means, the Moto G5 Plus is not a perfect mid-range phone. There's the weird panorama feature which I think would disappoint some phoneography enthusiasts, same goes to consumers who are into selfies since there's no beauty mode to be found. But other than that, there's nothing much to complain about the device. It has a nearly perfect camera, good battery life and charging, no heating issue after a few minutes of gaming, and convenient ways to open apps by using the shaking motion sensor. So looking from a camera-angle point of view, it is actually more value than the RM1299 price tag it is going for.

This makes the Moto G5 Plus a worthy rival to the likes of the Huawei P10 lite for the same price range. The P10 lite has the advantage of having an automatic portrait and beaty mode for the selfie lovers, though. Another close competitor would be the Sony Xperia XA1 (RM1199) that is also capable of taking great images, and is cheaper by RM100. If you want something even cheaper, there's still the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 (RM799) but it loses out on the camera quality. Incidentally, none of these competitor phones sport a dual pixel camera sensor and don't always work well in all lighting conditions.

With this, I can gladly say that Motorola Malaysia is back in the game. What's more, the Moto Z2 Play looks like an awesome device to have along with the Moto Mods. But what do you think? Do you think Moto has a bright future in Malaysia like before? Let us know in the comments below, thanks for reading and stay tuned for more reviews at TechNave.com.

ASUS ZenPad 7.0 Audio Cover hands-on video

While the ASUS ZenPad 7.0 launch was going on we managed to get some hands-on time with the Audio Cover, one of the accessories you can use to further customize the ZenPad 7.0 tablet. Featuring 5.1 channel surround sound with a subwoofer and six built-in speakers the Audio Cover was able to play clear audio even with the larger speakers for the launch background music blaring away. Just imagine how it would sound like by itself and you might be able to turn your tablet into an instant boombox. So far, we've only seen two colours for the Audio Cover, which are black and white but both are super thin and lightweight enough to look like a slightly thicker case. No exact Malaysia release dates are available for the Audio Cover yet, but it is estimated to be coming in the next few weeks for the pricing of RM249. Check out our hands-on video and pictures of the Audio Cover below for yourself.


Motorola Moto G5S Plus review - A decent mid-range smartphone with a strong battery pack and affordable pricing

Motorola is one of the smartphone brands that like to release multiple models to cater to different type of customers. Some users don't need such a powerful device, some just want nice camera features, and some just want a simple phone that has good network call and text without costing them a limb or other internal organs. In this review, we take a look at the Moto G5S Plus, the spiritual successor of the Moto G5 Plus which I enjoyed using (check out the review here) and we will see if this mid-range phone is worth your pocket money or not. Read below to find out more.

Comparing the G5S Plus and the G5 Plus, the overall design has little changes here and there but I personally prefer the latter for some reason, possibly due to the rear's top and bottom design. Anyway, the 5.5-inch display has a 16:9 screen-to-body aspect ratio in FHD 1080p resolution, so the screen image and colours are satisfactory. The fingerprint sensor is still on the Home Button and there's still the trademark big camera bump behind. Although the weight does feel kind of heavy, it's just small enough to fit in your palm nicely which feels pretty good.

The same overall look of the phone, you can also see the antenna lines across the top and bottom

Here are your volume and power button, impressively, Motorola managed to make this model thinner than its predecessor at 8mm

Speaker grill and it still uses a microUSB port, also that's not a headphone jack (it's on top)

Here are the specifications for the Moto G5S Plus:

The Moto G5S Plus is as mid-range as you can get, featuring a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 chipset which is regarded as one of the best mid-range specs to have as it can handle games quite well, even for games such as Asphalt 8: Airborne (which we will come to later). But even so, its mid-range tech-specs don't have many changes compared to its predecessor, the only difference that we can tell you is that the device has a pair of rear cameras which are using are using the same 13MP sensor and an aperture of f/2.0. There's also a number of camera features including the new Depth Mode function, as well as support for 4K video recording (you'll need a tripod or gimbal for it to be effective) and slow-motion photography for fun.

The familiar Moto camera user interface, with the new additional Depth Mode

Depth Mode is not the bokeh mode or depth of field that you thought though, in fact, this feature allows you to 'cut out' yourself in an image and paste on another picture. I mean, sure, it doesn't seem useful but it is really fun for us. However, it takes a while to master it because of the lighting, which may disturb the subject that you want to edit. Below is just one example of what our writers did with the phone.

So to use Depth mode, you must have two pictures ready for it. Here we have Jim on the top as the subject and Bernard as the second picture that we want to crop Jim into

After taking the picture, you can go straight to edit and select Depth Editor

Then choose the second picture that you want to paste the subject in and voila! #magic

Aside from that, the Moto G5S Plus continues with a pure stock Android user interface and this will give you a lot of control. For instance, you have the option to turn off the Google Assistant page from the left side of the main page, adjust the One Button Navigation motion from the home button, locking the screen and the ever useful Twist Motion Sensor allowing to do whatever you want with the device to open certain functions. This can be done in the Moto App which offers a wide variety of customized settings.

Inside the Moto App, tons of customizable stuff there

A tutorial on how to use the One Button Navigation

As aforementioned, the Moto G5S Plus gives a satisfactory performance for both games and battery life. Its AnTuTu score doesn't differ much from the Moto G5 Plus and its 3DMark score is not bad too as long as the graphics is not pushed excessively. We should also mention that the HD video playback is quite enjoyable on the 5.5-inch Full HD display, which means the connection is smooth and the phone's temperature is acceptable. So all in all, nothing much to complain here, except that the volume output is a bit loud and sometimes it disappears while gaming so Motorola probably need to look into that for upcoming updates.

Battery performance chart, this is just one day

On top of that, the battery life can go on for about a day quite easily, even with some gaming time. There's also TurboCharge and according to our testing, it can charge up from 50% to 100% in just 40 minutes, not so bad huh? But do pay attention to the phone charging, though, as it tends to be quite warm sometimes.

Moving on to the camera performance, the device does its job well but just like the Moto G5 Plus, it has some overexposure problems and the colour processing can be a bit embarrassing sometimes. In other words, your photo quality depends on the lighting condition and you while you can make it look good, you should be aware of your photography basics to do so. Anyway, check out the photo samples below.

When it comes to bokeh shot, the device shines

Bokeh shot mode no.3, not perfect but it's ok lah

Although this is an extremely dark photo, you can see that there's not much noise in it

At this stage, there are just too many mid-range smartphones are using the same tactic of equipping a dual rear camera, nice design look and priced at around RM1K more or less. For the Moto G5S Plus, the price tag of RM999 (below RM800 in our recent price listings) is definitely an attractive one, but there are some tiny issues on the camera performance. If you look past that, it's a fairly decent phone with good gaming capabilities, strong battery pack, useful user interface and motion sensors, the fun Depth mode function and comes in pure stock Android. But is it enough, though?

There are a lot of rivals out there, namely the Xiaomi Mi A1 (RRP RM1099), honor 7X (RRP RM1099) and the Huawei Nova 2i (RRP RM1299), these phones are slightly more expensive but they perform a lot better particularly in the camera performance, keep in mind that the price tag on both of these have also dropped after a few months already. What's more, the recently released RM749 honor 9 Lite is another contender to look out for but we haven't tested it yet.

So what do you think of the Moto G5S Plus? Does the device cut it for the deal? Let us know in the comments below and stay tuned for more news at TechNave.com.


Motorola Moto G5S and G5S Plus officially revealed with improved tech-specs from ~RM1260

Motorola has quietly officially released the duo Moto G5S and G5S Plus today on their blog page, most of the tech-specs that was speculated is on point as well, thanks to a Twitter leaker called Ronald Quandt. Anyway, without further ado, below is the official specifications:

Both devices will come in Lunar Grey and Fine Gold and the G5S Plus can record 4K videos, while the G5S can record Full HD videos. As for the price tag, the Moto G5S and G5S Plus will cost with an amount of €249 (~RM1260) to €299 (~RM1513) respectively.

Motorola Moto G6 lineup unveiled, featuring MAX Vision displays, mid-range tier specs and more starting from ~RM960

That's right, folks. Motorola has revealed the much teased Moto G6 series lineup that was held at an event in Brazil, South America. Introducing the Moto G6, Moto G6 Plus and the Moto G6 Play. Most of the tech-specs that we reported before matches the speculations, so we will recap them just to refresh your memory.

But before we get into that, perhaps the highlight of the phone is the price tag itself. Starting with the G6 Play as the most affordable one, it will start at €200 (~RM960), followed by the standard G6 for €250 (~RM1200) and last but not least, €300 (~RM1440) for the Moto G6 Plus. Below is the list of official specs:

On paper, there isn't a lot of exciting features to look at, but it's nice to see the new Moto series going an 18:9 screen-to-body aspect ratio. Motorola is dubbing this as the MAX Vision and yes, it's just a fancy name for Full View (lol). Both the Moto G6 and Moto G6 Plus phones are using 3D glass (Corning Gorilla 3 grade, in fact) for the back and front to give that premium feel, whereas the Moto G6 Play is sporting a polymer glass, which explains why it's the cheapest among the three.

According to the event, the Moto G6 and Moto G6 Play will only hit the shelves in the first week of May in the USA, while the Moto G6 Plus will come at a later date. No word for Malaysia's entry but we are guessing the second quarter of 2018.

Stay tuned for more Motorola news at TechNave.com.


Motorola Moto G6 series and Moto E series got through certification for Asia

Are we getting new Motorola phones? You bet. In fact, we just learned that Motorola will be introducing five new phones - three Moto G6 models and two Moto E models which just gotten their certifications for the Asia market.

However, so far the only Asia markets that are confirmed are Thailand and Indonesia at this moment. For Indonesia, the country has already approved the new Moto G6 series and Moto E series, while Thailand has only accepted the former. Just in case you're wondering what are the new model names, they are the Moto G6, Moto G6 Plus, Moto G6 Play, Moto E5 and Moto E5 Play.

To recap, the Moto G6 series is a new mid-range tier of smartphones sporting Qualcomm Snapdragon chipsets and will probably go for a Fullview display up to 5.93-inch according to sources. For the Moto E series, they will come as budget-friendly devices.

Looking forward to new Moto family into Malaysia? Cause we are. Stay tuned for more Motorola news at TechNave.com.


Motorola Moto G6 series marketing materials leak online, showing a brand new front look

In a few hours ago, it seems that Motorola is starting to roll out their marketing campaign for the Moto G6 smartphone. But it's not just that one, the Moto G6 Plus and Moto G6 Play have their own posters as well and it seems the major highlight is the display, with models posing in there like a window. Let's check them out below:

Motorola Moto G6 (also Play and Plus) official launch marketing materials. 3/3 pic.twitter.com/MKXsGP4wb9

Judging by the marketing material posters leaked by @rquandt from his Twitter account, we can confirm that Motorola is giving a new makeover look for the new G6 series. According to sources, it's likely that the screen panel will go up to 5.93-inch Fullview display. Moreover, the home button is missing and we don't see any rear fingerprint sensor either, so it's possible that they might opt for the Face Unlock biometric security feature but we shall see.

The trademark big camera bump is still there housing a pair of cameras, equipping a 12MP + 5MP sensor and all three variants might have the same set. The front camera is said to be 16MP, while the processor could be a mid-range Qualcomm Snapdragon 626 and running on 3GB of RAM and at least 3000mAh battery.

What do you think of the new Moto G6 series look? Rumours have it that they will be launched in May 2018. Stay tuned for more Motorola news at TechNave.com.

Motorola Moto M is official for 1999 Yuan in China

So it's official, just two days ago when we reported the official specifications of the Moto M, it all turns out to be true just like the website, Tmall from China. With no event launched or whatsoever, it was listed with an official price tag of 1999 Yuan (around RM1247). To recap, the tech-specs are:

No word if it will come to Malaysia or not, but quite unlikely since there's no big hoo-haa event held. You can still order it online if you want, stay tuned for more news at Technave.com.


Motorola Moto Mods will cost some pretty penny

If you are looking to get yourself the new Motorola Moto Z and perhaps one of the Moto Mod add-ons for the phone, you may want to start your money collection from now. If the price from Verizon is indicative of global prices later on, the Moto Mods will be expensive.

If you want the Insta-Share projector addon, Verizon will be charging you USD 299 (~RM 1222). That sweet sounding JBL Soundboost Moto Mod? USD 79.99 (~RM 326). TUMI will have two different power packs on offer – the TUMI Pack will be USD 89 (~RM 363) while the TUMI Wireless Charging and Power Pack will be USD 99 (~RM 404).

Those prices are a bit too rich for some people, and may not appeal to the mass market at large. Some may take up the Moto Mods, but unless Lenovo and Motorola revise the pricing for the items in other markets, the concept may just be that – a concept.


Motorola Moto Razer 5G release: Snapdragon 765G chipset, 48MP main camera, and 5G connectivity for ~RM5825

After weeks of teasing, Motorola has finally lifted the veil off its next foldable smartphone. The Moto Razr 5G launched earlier today is a successor to the Moto Razr from last year, but comes with a bunch of improvements. As the name suggests, one key upgrade is that it now has 5G connectivity.

Motorola has uploaded the details of the Moto Razr 5G to its website, revealing key tech specs and features of the phone. Unlike its predecessor, it comes with a much more powerful Snapdragon 765G chipset. Moreover, it has more RAM and internal storage at 8GB and 256GB respectively. The sizes of the displays haven't changed, but the battery capacity has been increased to 2800mAh.

Another major improvement would be the cameras. Where the original Moto Razr sported a 16MP main camera, the Moto Razr 5G now has a 48MP main camera that should be able to take much better pictures. The front camera also saw a drastic increase in pixel count from 5MP to 20MP. As for features, the external screen is also expected to support more apps now.

The new foldable is already available in the US for USD 1399 (~RM5825), with China and Europe releases expected in the coming weeks. It's definitely much better value than the first Moto Razr, but would you be interested in getting one? Let us know on our Facebook page and stay tuned to TechNave for more news like this.


Motorola Moto X coming to Malaysia late April 2014

The Motorola Moto X could soon be joining the Motorola Moto G here in Malaysia as local retailers have indicated that the smartphone could be on sale by the end of April 2014. Other local retailers have also revealed a pre-order price of RM1399, which is certainly tempting for a smartphone that is always listening to you. While the pricing may be a bit off from the overseas $299 (RM956) off contract price we're hoping that it at least comes with Moto Maker or some form of customization to make up for the price increase (hopefully wooden backplates). Tech specs for the Moto X remain the same and include:

The low-light ClearPixel camera should make taking pictures a blast while the Active Display and power-sipping processor should give the Motorola Moto G a run for the longest battery life smartphone throne. Check out the video below for a refresher:


ASUS ZenPad 7.0 Audio Cover unboxing and hands-on video

Very few smartphones and even tablets can boast good and loud built-in speakers, and the ASUS ZenPad 7.0 Z370CG is one of the few that has an accessory which can offer near-boombox levels of audio. This accessory is the ASUS ZenPad 7.0 Audio Cover, which features 5.1 channel surround sound, a built-in subwoofer and 6 speakers all inside a stylish leather pattern cover. Designed to work automatically with no messy bluetooth pairing, the Audio Cover should also make watching movies and other multimedia even more awesome. Priced at RM249, check out our unboxing and hands-on video of the ASUS ZenPad 7.0 Audio Cover below:


Motorola Moto X officially coming to Malaysia for RM1499

Motorola's line of Moto smartphone like the Moto G and the Moto X have been designed to offer the best optimized performance despite rather lower-end hardware which is why it is great news that we'll soon be getting both here in Malaysia. The Motorola Moto X Malaysia pricing will begin from RM1499 which is a great price considering the 10MP Clear Pixel camera and Always On feature.
