News & Reviews:   Motorola smartphone

If you recall, Samsung first announced its 200MP camera in September. It was soon rumoured that Xiaomi would be the first company to feature the ISOCELL HP1 sensor, but that might not happen after all. Instead, another brand could be the first to use it.

The Snapdragon 888 chipset earlier this month and Motorola is one of the brands that will have a flagship phone featuring the chipset. But while CES 2021 is just around the corner, we originally thought that Motorola won't be launching anytime soon. However, a new leak seems to hint that a launch may happen in the near future.

Do you remember the modular smartphone concept Phonebloks? Well, it seems that they weren't the only ones working on a similar modular smartphone concept as Motorola have come out with their take on the concept with Project Ara. Built upon the bones of Project Sticky, Motorola say that they have been working on Project Ara for about a year now and have contacted Phonebloks. According to Motorola, they will use input from the Phonebloks community to help improve Project Ara. We were excited when the Phonebloks concept first came out so we're thrilled now that Motorola are picking up the pace with Project Ara. No news on pricing or Malaysia release dates just yet, but we expect this to take at least another 6 or so more months with a possible release date in 2014 (perhaps at CES 2014, Computex 2014 or IFA 2014?). For now, check out the Project Ara pics and refresh your memory with the previous Phonebloks video in this article.
