Posted on by

Motorola is making some moves in the app world today. First up, the company has released its fitness app, Moto Body, out into the Google Play Store. Moto Body is a one-stop shop fitness tracker for Moto 360 users.

Se desvelan nuevas filtraciones del HTC A9 “Aero” y una posible fecha de presentación

Posted on by

htc aero render

El 29 de septiembre se antoja como una fecha muy emocionante para los fans de Android en todo el mundo: No sólo habrá dos nuevos dispositivos Nexus ese día –uno firmado por Huawei y otro por Google–, sino que además HTC ha anunciado su propia rueda de prensa en Japón para esas fechas.

El objeto de tal evento, según dice la rumorología, no es otro que la presentación del HTC A9 “Aero”, un terminal del que ya hemos hablado con anterioridad y del que ya hemos visto algunos renders conceptuales. Este dispositivo es el que HTC espera que salvará los muebles de una empresa muy tocada, y es que el HTC One M9 no ha acabado de cuajar tan bien como cabría esperar en el mercado. De hecho el pasado mes de junio ya esperaban un descalabro después de ver el desastre de ventas del nuevo flagship durante el mes de mayo.

Volviendo al HTC A9 “Aero”, según los rumores ya tenemos una idea de qué esperar de este dispositivo, pero ahora un tuit de LlabTooFeR —dev principal de la ROM Maximus HD– ha revelado que este nuevo terminal vendrá acompañado de Android 6.0 Marshmallow de serie.

Los HTC A9 no llegarán al mercado inmediatamente

De ser así estaríamos ante algo bastante impresionante, máxime si tenemos en cuenta que supuestamente el HTC A9 verá la luz el mismo día que los nuevos Nexus, que deberían ser los primeros dispositivos del mercado con la nueva versión de Android en llegar al público. Aún así, es más que probable que el HTC A9 no empiece a llegar a los consumidores hasta un mes o dos después de su presentación, pero sigue siendo un programa de lanzamiento bastante ambicioso.

Por lo demás, el HTC A9 tendrá especificaciones de gama alta, lo que incluye un procesador MediaTek Helio X20 de 10 núcleos, una pantalla QHD de 5,2 pulgadas, 4 GB de memoria RAM y una batería de 3.500 mAh. En cuanto a su diseño, en las imágenes que te dejamos a continuación y que hemos extraído de Android Authority se ven líneas similares a las del último iPhone, aunque no se puede confirmar la autenticidad de las mismas:

Y por lo demás, ¿crees que este nuevo flagship de HTC valdrá la pena? ¿Crees que la presencia de un chipset MediaTek va a perjudicar a la marca? ¿Conseguirá HTC redimirse con el HTC A9? Déjanos tus impresiones en los comentarios.

Microsoft Lumia 950, 950 XL, Surface Pro 4 to be outed on October 6

Posted on by

Today Microsoft has started sending out media invites for an event it’s holding on October 6 in New York City. The invite itself only says that we’re going to see new Windows 10 devices, as you can gather from the image below.

However, past leaks have talked about the Microsoft Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL high-end flagship duo becoming official at an October event, and now we know when that will take place.

Alongside the two highly-anticipated top of the line phones, Microsoft is apparently also going to unveil the Surface Pro 4 tablet and a new Band wearable.

In the past rumors have talked about a bigger Surface tablet perhaps seeing the light of day this year. This could come with a 14-inch touchscreen, but it’s unclear whether it’s going to be ready for the October event.

The Surface Pro 4 should keep the form factor and charging mechanism of its predecessor, while packing some other upgrades. It’s likely to be thinner and lighter than the Surface Pro 3 and it might come with a fingerprint sensor too.

The Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL had official-looking press renders leaked last month. They are going to both sport QHD resolution screens, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of expandable storage, a 20 MP PureView rear camera, a 5 MP selfie snapper, and a USB Type-C port for charging. The 950 XL shall come with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 810 chipset and a 3,300 mAh battery, while its smaller sibling will pack the Snapdragon 808 and a 3,000 mAh…
