Moto X Pure Edition latest Motorola device to feature hidden notification LED

The Moto X Pure Edition isn’t the first Motorola device to feature a hidden LED under the front speaker grill. We’ve seen it on previous Moto X devices, as well as the Nexus 6. It doesn’t do much, since the Moto X has Active Display, but it does serve an important purpose.

When your device is too discharged to even turn the screen on when plugging in a charger, this LED turns on to let you know the device is charging. It’s definitely nice to have, even though you may never see it. Taking advantage of it as a notification LED may be possible in the future, but it won’t come without modifications.

Samsung may be working on a competitor for Gorilla Glass

Corning’s Gorilla Glass is everywhere these days, sitting on top of most smartphone and tablet display panels, protecting them while being quite sturdy in the process. There’s also the less used Dragontrail Glass by Asahi, also boasting impressive toughness.

Soon though these two may be joined by a similar offering from none other than Samsung. The company has filed for a trademark for Turtle Glass with the relevant authority in its home country of South Korea.

The application for the trademark apparently states that it will be used for a protective tempered glass designed for phones, tablets, music players, cameras, and so on.

Samsung’s been one of Corning’s biggest customers so far, so if it is indeed going to start using its own solution in the future, it will be interesting to see in what position that will put the maker of Gorilla Glass.

As for the name itself, a turtle’s shell is very tough, so that’s where the inspiration came from. The world of protective glass for mobile devices is thus filled with animals, real or imaginary – gorillas, dragons, and now turtles.

While Samsung could of course be planning to use Turtle Glass on the Galaxy S7, it’s also possible that this type of glass will be employed in the production of those foldable smartphones the company has recently patented. The first one of those is apparently codenamed Project Valley and we may see it hitting the streets next year.

LG Tone Active Headphones: No Strings Attached On The Run

I’m a runner. Roughly every other day for the past 40-some years, I’ve taken a jog. And ever since I bought my first Sony Walkman, I’ve plugged portable headphones into my ears via the earbuds, to enjoy music. I’ve always felt I can run significantly longer listening to music than not. Thus, I kind of look at headphones as a tiny investment in my health.

ASUS quietly begins selling new Zenfone 2 model with 16GB of storage and 4GB of RAM

ASUS’s Zenfone 2 has garnered plenty of attention due to its low price and impressive list of specs. Now, ASUS has quietly begun selling a new model of the device that bridges the gap between the standard model and the upgraded model with extra RAM and storage. This new model is priced at $229 and it comes with 16GB of storage, like the standard model, but it bosts the RAM up to 4GB, just like the upgraded model. The Intel Atom processor is the same one that’s found in the standard model, the slightly slower Z3560 model.

Previously, the Zenfone 2 has been sold in two configurations. The standard model costs $199 and comes with 16GB of storage and 2GB of RAM. The upgraded model comes in at $299 and packs in 64GB of storage, 4GB of RAM and a slightly more powerful processor. This new configuration should please many who want the extra RAM without the extra $100. Even though it comes with less storage, some might disregard that in light of the fact that storage is expandable via microSD.

You can now pick up the new model from several different online retailers, including Amazon.

Huawei Watch officially available today

The Huawei Watch has made a few appearances already, but today is it’s first day of official availability. You can find it for sale on GetHuawei.com, Best Buy, Amazon and the Google Store. If you want to get it immediately, and I’m going to assume that includes most of you, then you should go with either Amazon or the Google Store, which are shipping it right now.

Amazon has the most comprehensive lineup, but the base level leather strap model at $349 is delayed for 1-2 months. However, the Stainless Steel with Link Band for $399 and the Black Stainless Steel with Link Band for $449 are shipping immediately.

The Google Store has just the Stainless Steel with Mesh Strap model for sale and that will set you back $399.

Best Buy has all but the Rose Gold-plated models up for pre-order, and naturally, GetHuawei.com has every variant available, but they won’t ship until early October.

We will have our full review of the Huawei Watch in due time, but at the outset we felt that it is easily one of the best-looking Android Wear watches to date, and that certainly hasn’t changed.

Has anyone already picked up the Huawei Watch or are you waiting for reviews to come rolling in before plunking down your cash?
