Many electronics are released throughout the year. Some of these products are very exciting, and many people wait to see what they bring. Products with much anticipation also bring many rumors and leaks. Some people make renders of products based on their rumored specifications to show their opinions, while others make renders to try fake them as real pictures. Companies themselves will also "leak" images of their products to create more hype for their devices. All this leads to numerous leaks of products from all sorts of companies. Here are some of the most credible rumors from this week.
Moto X
The Moto X has been anticipated by many tech geeks for a very long time. Ever since Google bought Motorola such a long time ago, we have been waiting for Google and Motorola to do something together. Sure the Razr M, HD, and Maxx HD now have close to stock Android skins, but you do not buy a company to make a better software experience on a few carrier cell phones. The Moto X will be the first product that Google and Motorola made since Google acquired them. The Moto X is rumored to have a 1.7 gigahertz dual-core Snapdragon S4 Pro processor, 2GB of RAM, a 4.7 inch 1,280 x 720 display, a 2,200 milliamp hour removable battery, and stock Android. Motorola has also been promoting the Moto X as a device that is "designed by you". We think that this means it will come in a wide variety of colors, and offer engraving. Eric Schmidt has "shown off" his white Moto X in public, and you can see the black and white versions in some of Motorola's advertisements. We will have to wait till Motorola's event on August 1st to see all the colors it comes in. From the leaked images, you can see that the Moto X is very curvy and has a patterned Kevlar back. These curves might possibly make the Moto X feel great in your hand.
Overall, the Moto X sounds like a great handset. It has a sleek, curvaceous body, decent specs, and comes with stock Android. Rumors have also claimed that the Moto X will be released on many carriers in the US, and will come unlocked at a low price. The only negative thing that we could possibly say about it is that it is not the perfect Motorola Nexus that we have been wanting. A Motorola Nexus with a 1080p display, quad-core Snapdragon 600/800 processor, and a gargantuan Razr Maxx HD battery would have been an even greater phone. Alas, these specs are only a dream. We are very excited to see the Moto X, and we can definitely tell you that it will be a great phone.
Nexus 7 sequel
When the Nexus 7 was released at Google I/O last year, it was one of the best tablets on the market. It offered a relatively high resolution 1,280 x 800 display, a fast quad-core Tegra 3 processor, and stock Android Jelly Bean. Its $200 starting price also made it the best inexpensive tablet you could buy. Fast forward a year, and the Nexus 7 is not the star that it used to be. The once high resolution screen is now low-res compared to the pixel behemoths like the fourth generation iPad and Nexus 10. The Tegra 3 processor is now showing its age by stuttering, and getting easily overwhelmed. Since the Nexus 7 was announced at Google I/O in 2012, most people expected its sequel at Google I/O 2013. Sadly, it was not announced at I/O 2013. This left people waiting even more anxiously for a replacement for their Nexus 7s. Recent FCC filings, leaked pictures, and advertisements have brought new hope for an updated Nexus 7. These leaks show that the new Nexus 7 will have narrower bezels, have a thinner body than before, and come with front and rear-facing cameras. A Best Buy ad suggested that the screen will still be seven inches, but will now have a resolution of 1,920 x 1,200. Although nothing has been said about its internal specs, we are pretty sure that it will pack a 1.5 gigahertz quad-core processor, and around two gigabytes of RAM.The processor could be a Snapdragon S4 Pro, 600, 800, Tegra 4, or come from any other maker. As for software it will probably have the most recent version of Android, or Google might release a new version alongside the new Nexus 7.
Based upon recent rumors and speculation, the Nexus 7 sounds like an amazing small tablet. It will have a super high resolution screen, the latest version of Android, front and rear-facing cameras, and will probably have a powerful processor. The high probability of it having a low price is just the icing on the cake. Some customers will probably buy the new Nexus 7 as a cheaper alternative to the iPad, iPad Mini, and other popular tablets. Anyone that buys the new Nexus 7 will be a happy customer, and save money doing so. Want more information on these two leaks? Check out the source links below for more leaks on these devices.
