Motorola M2 Will Be Launch At The Beginning of Q4 2017 According To Rumor

Like fans of various smartphones, Motorola fans are eagerly waiting for upcoming smartphones. It is not Moto X4 or Moto G5S plus which are featured in rumors this time it is Moto M2, the sequel of Moto M which released last year is likely to come into the market during the final quarter of 2017. 

Lenovo XT1902-3 which spotted on GeekBench during the early morning of June 01, 2017 is most likely Moto M2. As tweeted by Andri Yatim, the precise month of launching Moto M2 is October. With so many Android updates rolling down, Moto M2 is expected to launch with Android 7.1.1 update pre-installed on the device.

It is going to get power from MediaTek 6797 processor with 10-cores (midlevel enhancement of octa-core processors). The same hardware configuration has been used by smartphones like Meizu MX6 and Redmi Note 4. The configuration seems best suited for mid-range smartphones hence M2 adapting the same.

Moto M2 is expected to be available in multiple RAM and memory variants. One with 4GB RAM and 32 GB internal storage capacity and other with 6GB RAM and 64 GB internal storage capacity. It is likely to appear as large as 5.5 inches with Full HD display.

The external design is expected to be same as Moto M’s metal design. As we are expecting to receive more and more rumors, stay tuned for further updates.

Reported Meizu Pro 7 Live Photos Show Second Screen Have Colors

The Meizu PRO 7, when it comes out in the next or so months, is going to be one strange phone. That’s going to be true whether this latest bit comes to pass or not. Putting a second screen on a phone’s back isn’t exactly new. There’s even a Kickstarter for offering something similar for the iPhone 7 pair. But whereas previous implementations put a full-sized e-ink screen on the back, the Meizu PRO 7 will supposedly have a “mini” screen instead. And it might not even be grayscale e-ink at all. 

Let’s go back to why you might want to have a second screen on the back of your phone, particularly one that uses an e-paper display. The point is to have an always on, always visible screen to display information without draining your battery that much. E-ink is used precisely because it only needs to sip a bit of power when changing the contents of the screen.

Initially, that seemed to be the case for the Meizu PRO 7, except it might not exactly be similar. For one, the second screen only occupies a fraction of the phone’s back, just enough for very basic information. But now, based on a new leaked photo, it seems that the second screen will be a full color display. Not even a colored e-ink screen but a regular LCD panel most likely.


We can’t yet put our faith on this photo, since it contradicts a batch of rendered images supposedly to be used as marketing materials for the Meizu PRO 7. But perhaps more importantly, it makes very little sense if Meizu puts a battery-draining full color LCD screen, even if it’s that small. The LG V20’s second screen is already admitted to use up 1% or more of your battery. How much more a larger screen?


The Meizu PRO 7 is expected to debut in July or August, bearing a MediaTek Helio X30 processor, or even a Samsung Exynos 8895 for a “Plus” version. Something consistent in the leaks is the dual cameras, allegedly 16 megapixel Sony IMX386 and a 12 megapixel IMX286 sensors. Despite its eccentricity, the Meizu PRO 7, based on these same leaks, will at least exhibit some rationality by keeping the 3.5 mm headphone jack intact.
