Panasonic updates its Panasonic Toughbook CF-31 and Panasonic Toughpad FZ-G1

Panasonic has decided to upgrade two of its most interesting devices for demanding environments. This is the rugged notebook Panasonic Toughbook CF-31 and robust tablet Panasonic Toughpad FZ-G1. These models will now integrate new Intel Core processors fifth generation, allowing them to increase their autonomy until 26 hours through its long battery life. All with the same design intended to withstand both shock and drops whilst withstand the toughest weather conditions. The new generation of these models hit the market in the coming days. We tell you all the details.

 We begin with the tablet Panasonic Toughpad FZ-G1. This professional tablet features a 10.1-inch standard format and looks the Windows 8.1 Pro operating system. The company has strengthened its performance with the Intel Core i5-5300U dual core processor with a power of 2.3 GHz per core. Thanks to the Turbo Boost technology, this chip is capable of reaching a speed of 2.9 GHz; while the Hyper-Threading technology will allow us to work as if they we counted four cores. Using this chip will also mean that professionals can enjoy a range of 13 hours with standard battery (compared to 10 hours before). If you need a step forward in performance can opt for long battery life, which bears the use of this equipment until 26 hours (one day). This figure is four hours over the previous 20 hours autonomy.

 This tablet has passed various military trials to test its resistance to bumps and drops. It also has the IP65 certificate allowing it to support both dust and splashing rain without suffering any damage.

 As for the laptop Panasonic Toughbook CF-31, this robust team is committed to a screen size of 13.1 inches with excellent brightness of 1,200 nits, thought so we can still see the contents of the panel clearly even under direct impact of sunlight. In the coming days, this model will be updated with the same Intel Core i5-5300U processor. Of course, in this case the maximum range of this laptop is placed on a usage time 18 hours. So far, the maximum that could be achieved using the Toughbook CF-31 was 14.5 hours.

 Another change that has received this model with the update is the inclusion of WiFi AC connectivity. This protocol works simultaneously on the bandwidth of 2.4 GHz and the bandwidth of 5 GHz. The first bandwidth is used by most electronic devices, but also more congested and not it has been designed for the large number of intelligent devices simultaneously entering into a WiFi network. With WiFi AC, get higher connection speeds and a more stable signal. In addition, professionals can choose between Windows 7 Professional operating system and Windows 8.1 Pro operating system.

Xiaomi confirmed specifications Redmi Note 2

China’s communications regulator, the TENAA, has validated a smartphone that is already known, but the design of it and its technical characteristics lacked details. It is now set; we can show you exactly what it will look like Xiaomi Redmi Note 2, the new Phablet Chinese manufacturer.

 While we thought that this would be unveiled at the Phablet Xiaomi event January 15, we had not heard from the terminal since. The Xiaomi Redmi Note had appeared in March, the Chinese manufacturer could keep the same pace for the year 2015.

 This new generation of Phablet Redmi Note would have a 5.5 inch screen at 720p, its Snapdragon 410 processor should be 4 cores clocked at 1.2 GHz supported by 1GB of RAM, 8GB of internal storage expandable via an SD card, splurge with a rear optical sensor 13 megapixels and a front 5-megapixel sensor for your selfies. So we are far enough from the previous rumors that you can see below.

Technical sheet not great but with good assets like the camera. Regarding the size of the phone it will be 154 x 78.7 x 9.5 mm with a weight around 195 grams, a screen size ratio / fair dimensions. Everything would turn Android 4.4 KitKat with overlay Xiaomi, MIUI 6, however, no information about the battery.

 The Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 also stand out by other characteristics, the presence of two SIM card slots and compatibility 4G make it even more attractive. But that’s not all, the best of all is its price, since the terminal of the Chinese company would be at a very low price of € 114 (after conversion). In addition, a version with the same technical characteristics and 2GB of RAM would be about 135 €.

Samsung Galaxy XCover 3 smartphone super resistant: Specifications

Samsung Galaxy XCover 3 unveiled with all its main hardware specifications; Android is a smartphone designed for those who want a device very durable and more affordable price of a Galaxy S5 or S4 Active.

 Samsung Galaxy XCover 3 is the refresh of the Galaxy XCover2, released in January 2013, and is a smartphone that want to cover that segment of consumers who want a device particularly resistant and can be used in various conditions, but still do not want to spend much money buying for example a Galaxy S5 or S4 Active.

 Substantially the Korean company has done so to renew this range of products that did not update for several months; of this new device we already know its main hardware features, but unfortunately we do not know its sale price and where and when it will be marketed.

 Samsung Galaxy XCover 3, code-named company SM-G338F, would be presented with a screen 4.8-inch diagonal and a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels (a little ‘natural fiber but enough) and a quad core Cortex A53 running the alleged frequency maximum of 1.2 GHz chipset Marvell Armada PXA1908 combined with 1GB of RAM.

 Inside there is 8GB of memory (we do not know if it will be expandable with microSD but we think highly of it) and the multimedia sector has a rear camera with autofocus and LED flash and a 5 mega pixel front camera of 2 mega pixels.

 As the operating system should be present since its release Android KitKat 4.4.4 with TouchWiz interface but we believe strongly, since the chipset is compatible with 64-bit encoding, that the smartphone will be updated in the future to Android 5.0 Lollipop version.

 From what I can understand you too, the phone in question is not pointing in the least on the hardware features that are sufficiently developed for an average low, but on the characteristics of resistance, water resistance that would permit the use in conditions that ordinary mobile phones would risk break or not work; those who want these products is not too much to look at the design or if the camera records video in ultra hd, just want a product that will always work in some extreme situations.

 Expect more information in the coming weeks on the Samsung Galaxy XCover 3, a device that is definitely niche but could have some success among consumers concerned that they have a more limited budget.

LG G4 new rumors: 3K display with over 600 PPI

The next flagship smartphone LG G4 could debut on the market with a new record; be the first device in the world to have a display resolution 3K and a PPI of 600 points; the rumors.

 LG according to some recent rumors want to get a new record in the landscape of mobile devices; after being the first company to market a smartphone with dual-core processor, with the first display in 3D seems now that points to the announcement of the first terminal with a display or 3K with a resolution of 2880 x 1620 pixels, ensuring on paper (if the panel will be about 5.5 inches) for a pixel density of 600 PPI.

 A user agent profile on the official website of the Korean company would show in fact a new product, code-named LG VS999, which would be the alphanumeric serial products destined to the United States, given that the current LG G3 sold by Verizon (telephone operator and distributor American) has the corporate code VS985.

 There are therefore clear possibility that VS999 is the future LG G4 that as new value added, compared to the current G3, will have a display even more resolute and a more powerful chipset (it speaks of the use of the Octa-core Snapdragon 810 processor with GPU Adreno 430).

 This news would justify in part the recent rumors of a “mini” version of LG G4, or the model G4s (article that you can read here) that would display a full HD 1920 x 1080 pixels and the same Snapdragon 810 processor; LG G4 would differ from the S version thanks to a display with 2880 x 1620 pixel resolution 3K and maybe a little more generous in size (5.7 to 5.9 inches) to make direct competition to phablet more advanced as the Galaxy Note 4.

 For us, the tendency of producers to increase the resolution so quickly in terms of density per pixel of the display has become excessive; already with a resolution of Full HD 1920 x 1080 pixels many devices have a visual quality quite good, since many people fail to distinguish with the panels with qHD resolution 2560 x 1440 pixels; point to display more and more resolute is then just a matter of marketing and not a real benefit to the consumer.

 Since LG G4 has not yet been made official by the Korean, we invite you to take all of this information as possible, but not certain; in fact we do not know if this information applies to a prototype or a product completely different from what you expect.

Samsung Galaxy S6 will be thinner and higher than its predecessor

A leak to date shows hulls schemes adapted to the future Galaxy S6. The opportunity to glimpse what could be the size of the next Samsung device.

These corroborate device leaks already spotted there a few days – or at least one of his prototypes – as well as size of the shells as some dealers did not hesitate to publish on Amazon.

 We learn in these visuals, the Galaxy S6 is nearly as thin as the unit series Galaxy A, showing the dimensions of 143.52 × 70.7 × 7.19 mm, a height greater than a Galaxy S5, but also more slimming and more narrow. The diagrams also evoke a minimalist format, with a flat rear seat and just round slices, which are not there yet reminiscent of the Galaxy A. It is still unknown if the casing of the device is removable, but there is the heart rate sensor – LED flash is located just under the camera, but next door.

 While waiting to learn more, remember that rumor suggests the presentation at Barcelona MWC organized early March, a Galaxy S6 features including a 5.5-inch qHD display, an Exynos SoC rather than a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810, and a dorsal photo sensor 20 megapixels. If the data sheet is a party to perfectly represent what one expects from a high end smartphone in 2015, it is on the side of the design is expected real surprises.

Dell Venue 10 Pro ready to launch hybrid 16:10

Dell is ready to launch a new tablet PC hybrid semi-professional: the Dell Venue 10 Pro 5000, aesthetically very similar to the Dell Venue 11 Pro 5000 but more compact and most likely with active digitizer Wacom Active ES.

 At SMAU 2014 Milan Livio Pisciotta, Client Marketing Manager Dell Italy, had announced that Dell was considering the creation of a new hybrid with Wacom Tablet PC to meet the demands of some customers remained partially unsatisfied by Venue 11 Pro, being based on a screen of 10.8 inches, turns out to be a bit ‘bigger than average and that using a digitizer Synaptics has not been received with great favor by the fanatics of the pen.

 Three months after the SMAU Tablet PC in question seems finally ready to launch: the Dell website USA is indeed appeared to the user manual of the new Dell Venue 10 Pro 5000, a hybrid Tablet PC based on Intel Atom processor that is in many ways a return at Latitude 10.

 Key features of the new Tablet PC are the 10.1-inch screen in 16:10 format, which will be available in the resolutions of 1280 × 800 or 1920 × 1200, and a wide connectivity that sees the presence of a USB 2.0 full-size and a video output microHDMI – but also internal WWAN modules.

 The screen will be joined some kind of digitizer which provides a new pen, different from the existing pens Dell Active Stylus and Venue Active Stylus with Synaptics technology; it is, however, more and pens battery-AAAA: taking account of the revelations had to SMAU is fair to assume that this may be new pen technology Wacom Active ES, already exploited by Toshiba at least some of the Encore 2 Write.

 The specifications until now revealed show:

•  Intel Atom Z3735F


• 2 GB of RAM DDR3L


• Disco eMMC 32 or 64 GB


• IPS screen 10.1-inch (1280 × 800 or 1920 × 1200)


• microHDMI; USB 2.0; microSD§; microSIM


• WiFi 802.11b / g / n; Bluetooth 4.0


• WWAN 3G / UMTS and 4G / LTE optional


• Dual camera and dual built-in microphones


• stereo speakers


• Integrated battery 32 Wh


• Dimensions: 262.6 × 175.8 × 9.9 mm


• Weight: 656.9 grams

 As the user manual for the new Dell Venue 11 Pro 5000 is already available, the official announcement and confirmations on pen technology are expected in the very short, with a launch by the end of February. And ‘reasonable to assume a starting price of 400 Euros including VAT for the basic versions.

The Moto G 4G (2nd generation) is now on sale, but only in Brazil

Overview on the Motorola site Brazil the last days of 2014, the Moto G 4G version 2015 is now available for sale. Suffice to say that we can expect the next exit on the international stage.

 A page dedicated to the Moto G 2nd generation but in its 4G version had been seen in late December in Brazil. She pointed to a Moto G such that the device was announced at IFA 2014, with a 5-inch screen HD SoC Snapdragon 400 and 1 GB of RAM, this time with an expandable memory … but not only compatible with 3G (H +). In fact, this was the main criticism that could address this device also successful: while the international market, especially in Europe, placing on the deployment of 4G, the smartphone was deadlocked on a compatibility with the latest generation of network.

 The Moto G 4G is now detailed on the Motorola Brazil site with complete specifications and price to boot. We note however that if nothing changes in terms of screen or processor, the brand has been a little more generous than the standard Moto G in terms of memory. The terminal is indeed with 16 GB of internal storage with 8GB against the usual smartphone. Above all, it is compatible with 4G class 4 and runs Android 5.0 Lollipop.

 Its price, meanwhile, it exceeds that of the Moto G 3G 2014 edition, charged 189 euros. Indeed, it is offered on the Motorola site price of 899 real, or a little over 300 euros gross conversion. Recall, however, that taxes on imported products, especially on high-tech devices (game consoles, smartphones) lead to skyrocketing prices in Brazil. If the Moto G 4G is called out internationally, no doubt he will only cost a few dollars more than its 3G counterpart, if only because its characteristics (its Snapdragon 400 and not 410 ) will not allow Motorola to charge prices approaching those of a Moto X.

ZTE Blade L3 new low-end smartphone with Android Lollipop

We have known that ZTE has a new smartphone ready, Blade L3. With him would be three terminals released in 2015 after Blade V2 and Blade S6. They revealed within just 10 days, and the three characteristics that place them at the lower-middle range, with the last being the most modest. Still, there are several reasons to take a look at ZTE Blade L3, especially the fact of having the latest version of Android (5.0 Lollipop), a feature worth taking into account and that unfortunately is quite unusual in the segment.

ZTE Blade L3 is not a midrange too pointer, if you can even call it a prominent low-end, but perhaps not intended, since the clear objective of the company with this model has been the balance. Very good design, in line with the Blade S6 announced just two days ago, 5-inch screen and resolution qHD (960 x 540 pixels) will not shine too much media consumption but with a density of 220 pixels per inch seems sufficient for everyday use.

Inside to find a manufacturer MediaTek processor with four cores at 1.2 GHz frequency . Of course, less than the Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 Blade S6 and Snapdragon 410 Blade V2, solutions are emerging as option common in the lower segments but beyond all doubt as to their performance. We cannot say the same of economic MediaTek chips that how well it is expected of them does not always work.

Other specifications are limited to 1 GB RAM, an amount that begins to fall short and has led by example Xiaomi improve your Redmi 2 doubling this figure. Also mounted an internal memory of 8GB via microSD cards, 8-megapixel main camera (for lack of real evidence other than their pros), and a secondary 2 megapixel. The battery has 2000 mAh capacity and as mentioned, uses Android 5.0 Lollipop, making this ZTE Blade L3 in one of the most economical ways to access the new version of the Google operating system options. And its price will be about 220 euros to change ($ 250). It will be available in China first and then play other markets.

 Logically, this version would reproduce the same performance through its dynamic speakers 45 mm neodymium magnets and coils of aluminum covered with copper. The frequency response is announced from 15 Hz to 28 kHz and impedance of 38 Ohms; what use it even with less powerful sources.

The ATH-M50xDG will be provided with a carrying pouch, a straight cable 3 m and a spiral cable 1.2 m extendable to 3 m. It will be available in March 2015 at a price of € 215.

 The second headset is a new benchmark: the ATH-M70x. It is a model still closed circumaural vocationally oriented, but high quality, designed to be more durable. It is equipped with earpieces that can be rotated 90 ° and removable pads. It embeds owner’s transducers 45 mm rare earth magnets and aluminum coils. The frequency band announced extending from 5 Hz to 40 kHz; the sensitivity is 97 dB and the impedance of 38 Ohms.

 The ATH-M70x will come with a detachable cable with spiral cable 1.2 m extendable to 3 m, a straight cable 3 m and 1.2 m right cable. Its release is scheduled for February at a price of € 359.

The ATH-R70x comes with a detachable cable that has the particularity and the advantage of being connected to one of the two earpieces to choose from.

 These open headphones are equipped with specific transducers of 45 mm and an aluminum housing with a honeycomb structure, promises a natural and accurate. Its frequency restitution is announced from 5 Hz to 40 kHz for a sensitivity of 98 dB. It should however be very demanding on because of its impedance of 470 Ohms. A dedicated amplifier is therefore required to take full advantage of the ATH-R70x.

 No information was provided on the accompanying accessories. It will be sold at a price of € 420 from the month of May.

Dell Precision M3800 2015 - monster of workstations

Dell this time has really created a monster of power. The new Dell Precision M3800 turns his attention to the professional user who is looking for a fast computer, powerful, handsome but portable. We talk about a product specifically designed for those who use the computer for professional environments such as video editing, designers, engineers or programmers, proposing a version designed specifically for developers based on Ubuntu.

The US company also contemplates the presence of a model with touch 15.6 “4K (the battery believe that will be the real Achilles heel of this model) with a resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels with technology IGZ02 protected in Corning Gorilla Glass NBT and able to recognize up to 10 fingers simultaneously pressing. Dell Precision M3800 in the new 2015 edition is accompanied by high-speed Thunderbolt port 2 with transmission rates up to 20 Gbps designed for people who want to edit and share files or large documents in parallel.

Obviously internal storage has evolved to shear than 2 TB that we can well imagine how important they are in a graphical environment and media where very often you work with RAW files from the think of several giga. To animate the workstation weighing 1,88kg (very low for its category) we then find a quad-core i7 processor and a fourth-generation Nvidia Quadro K1100M with 2 GB of GDDR5 RAM. To get an idea of the enormous computing power, Dell commissioned Principlet Technologies to carry out stress tests in the field of video editing, comparing the Dell Precision M3800 with the MacBook Pro Retina of Apple during transcoding of video and rendering of video sequences. The results speak for themselves: the Dell is up to 26% faster in transcoding and up to 30% faster to render movies.

The workstation therefore offers the ideal environment to work and create proposing the possibility of using Ubuntu, Windows 7 or Windows 8.1. The starting price Dell Precision M3800 2015 is € 1,529 which, actually, is a price more than acceptable.

Panasonic Toughbook 31 - up to 27 hours of battery life for portable rugged

The portable rugged family of Panasonic Toughbook is updated with the new Intel Core i5 processor with architecture Broadwell, managing to get to 27 hours of battery life on a second additional battery

 Panasonic updates its Toughbook 31 laptop with a new Intel Core i5 fifth generation (Broadwell). The characteristic allows it to offer 18 hours of autonomy of single charge (the model of the previous generation came to 14.5) and up to 27 hours continuously by the use of an optional second battery. We speak of a system rugged able to withstand drops and environments among the most varied and difficult.

 Panasonic Toughbook 31 offers, according to the manufacturer, a significant performance boost mixed with an improved battery life. Is guaranteed to support a protocol Wi-Fi faster (802.11ac dual-band), while it was removed the configuration option with discrete GPU. It is a feature probably shortly sought on a product of this type and having destinations of use so specific.

 Under the shell we find an Intel Core i5 vPro 3MB of cache and operate at a frequency of 2.3GHz, able to reach up to 2,9GHz with Intel Turbo Boost Technology. The GPU integrated into the processor is an Intel Graphics 5500, more than able to handle the display resolution 13.3 “: the antiquated 1024×768.

The new LG OLED screens are completely flexible

LG is expected to begin mass production of a new type of flexible screens this summer. What really new is that it can bend to extreme lengths when compared with what we’ve seen so far. Does that mean we’ll finally start seeing smartphones and tablets wrapped in his pockets? Probably not. But undoubtedly pave the way for devices with unusual shapes and increasingly large screens.

 For this aspect as extremely flexible screens are made of plastic, so there is a material which can be easily split, such as glass. Still, LG has also commented that these new plastic screens have nothing to envy the glass for brightness, energy efficiency and color reproduction. The intentions of the company to offer screens that can be rolled completely, is something that was last summer.

 Last July, LG introduced a new type of flexible, transparent screens that promise to become tomorrow’s technology. The company showed at that time, the chances of an 18-inch OLED panel that can be bent to reach 3 inches radio without losing its possibilities. The proposed 18-inch panel showed LG has a resolution of 1200 by 810 pixels, with a total of 1 million megapixels. The manufacturer’s intention is to bring this same concept to smartphones and tablets.

 It is making great progress. His latest phone, the LG G Flex 2, shows that the company bet hard by the curve. Thanks to its appearance, we can get a more ergonomic position when subjected to talk through it. In addition, it is designed for a more immersed experience to see the contents. The size of your screen remains at 5.5 inches, but has increased the resolution up to 1920 x 1080 pixels or Full HD quality.

 The curved screen of LG G Flex 2 is undoubtedly the most flamboyant claim this terminal, but is by no means the only one. Your processor also deserves special mention. The device equips the controversial Qualcomm Snapdragon 810. It was the first manufacturer to equip it. Although at this point we do not know if this is going to bring more problems than benefits. In terms of memory, this chip is aided by 2GB of RAM, which offers fluency in all its processes. Meanwhile, it also integrates a major goal of 13 megapixels, allowing you to take pictures at a maximum resolution of 4128 x 3096 pixels. As in the other sections, this LG G Flex 2 release is also in the operating system. It is governed by Android 5.0.1, aka Lollipop.

 It is expected that this new phone come to Europe next March at a price that is estimated to be around 700 or 800 euros. It will come in two color variations: red and silver gray. But LG is not the only manufacturer to bet on this type of curved screens on their devices. It is expected that this year other models are announced. Including the Sony Xperia Z4 Curve, we could meet in March the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

The Samsung Galaxy J1 is official

The Samsung Galaxy J1 is official. The Korean company Samsung has just and inaugurates the new series J incorporating in its catalog of this new team, but for now it seems to only be available to the Malaysian market. So much so that the only website that has appeared the team is in the affiliate Samsung in this country. This does not mean we have to rule out a Samsung Galaxy J1 landing in Europe. Nothing could be further from the truth. It is possible; in any case, this coming-out occurs within a few weeks or even months. But what type of device is the Samsung Galaxy J1? The photos that have leaked reveal a lot like the last terminal basic range that has presented the Korean lately appearance.

 The device shown in the images has a housing made from polycarbonate plastic integrally with a central belt in a metallic tone. We are, in fact, against a team of basic range, equipped with a 4.3-inch (diagonal) and WVGA resolution of 480 x 800 pixels. Inside we find a processor with dual-core architecture to 1.2 GHz, able to combine its operations with 512 MB of RAM. This means that we get a good performance, but will need to not overburden the team too much with too content and applications. To do this, you better use the microSD card (up to 128 GB capacities) to expand the internal memory, which in this case happens to be 4GB.

 But that’s not all. We have to look at the camera system, paragraph indispensable in any smartphone that boasts. The Samsung Galaxy J1 has a 5 megapixel sensor with LED Flash (ideal for capturing photos in low light environments or even at night) and other features that allow us to adjust the catch and get videos on a remarkable quality. At the front, the device includes a second 2-megapixel camera that will become a must for lover’s selfies and video calling tool.

 In point of connectivity, the team gets along with 3G networks, which will ensure correct data download and navigation. It also includes support for WiFi, WiFi Direct, Bluetooth 4.0 and GPS with GLONASS networks. The battery has an average capacity (1850 milliamperes) should be able to offer a range of at least a day at full capacity. For now, Samsung has already advanced to be 10 full hours of talk time.

 With respect to its dimensions, we can say that the Samsung Galaxy J1 complies with 129 x 68.2 x 8.9 mm and weighs about 122 grams with battery included. Comes fitted with Android 4.4 KitKat and will be available in three different colors: blue, black and white.

Filtered images Huawei Mate 7 Compact

Only a couple of days we heard first heard of Huawei Mate 7 Compact, which stated that it could make an appearance at the event Huawei at MWC in Barcelona, but has not been needed more time to be filtered what could be the first photographs that show the devices in question. The we teach.

 First images of Mate 7 Compact

 What would this new Huawei Mate 7 Compact? Well as you can see in the images, quite similar to Huawei Mate 7 standard as far as design is concerned, including the metal case, it seems, although yes it is possible to see changes in the shape and location of the speakers in the front and even on the back cover.

 The similarity with the Huawei Mate 7 however, was taken for granted, being the big question actually much smaller the model “compact”, since the first 6 inches leave a fairly wide range of possibilities. Unfortunately, the photos do not allow us to draw conclusions, although the first rumors point to 5.5 inches, the size on the line by coming phablets betting most of the time.

 With regard to hardware, we have no answers to the question whether the decline will only size or also of technical specifications, as often happens with devices that typically launched as “mini”, although it is quite possible that in this case only in the case of a smaller market to appeal to users who can attract them by design and technical specifications version Huawei Ascend Mate 7, but 6 inches pulls them back, you are still many.

 As you can see there are many questions still to answer, but certainly in the next few weeks we will be having answers.

Motorola Moto E 2015 official image unveiled?

A first image would reveal the alleged Motorola Moto E 2015, which is the second generation of the first Moto E that perhaps this year will become a smartphone midrange low with LTE connectivity.

Some rumors a few weeks ago, right at the end of December 2014, indicated that in the first months of 2015 would come on the market, the second generation of the Motorola Moto E, and were already shown some interesting changes in terms of hardware.

 Motorola Moto E will surely since its debut as the operating system Android 5.0 Lollipop latest version, or at least the penultimate and we hope that will have a list price very similar to the current Moto E, so it could be about 130-140 euro.

 We do not know if Motorola decides to show to the public some of its new smartphones for 2015; In fact we are also waiting for news on the Moto G 2015 that you should have an edge over the Moto E in the middle range.

 We’ll see if during the MWC 2015 in Barcelona to be held in March, the Chinese company / American decide to make a nice surprise to the public announced two new smartphones; there is no certainty, but the hope is the last to die.
