Google’s Project Fi is a mobile virtual network that offers user with simple and fast wireless experience when roaming at no extra cost, but as you may know, not all phones are so-called Fi-friendly.

Motorola moto x4 Is Sleek, IP68 Rated, Lets You Use Alexa Without Unlocking
With all the hustle and bustle over the new iPhones, new Google Phone and even more recently, the ZTE dual screen phone and Huawei AI-ready Mate devices, it is easy to forget that there are other good handset makers out there. One of these ‘good handset makers’ would be Lenovo-owned Motorola Mobility. Speaking of which, we would like to draw your attention to its latest, super sleek handset, the moto X4 (stylized as X4), which is very cool, btw). It is not the thinnest phone around. Not even remotely close, but for some reasons, the anodized aluminum and wraparound glass design and the different-from-most-handset-makers dual camera setup on its contoured back makes us want to take several more looks at the device.

Motorola Moto Z, Motor Z Force And Modular Moto Mods Smartphone
Remember LG G5, the world’s first commercially available modular smartphone? Well, Motorola has its own iteration too, called Moto Mods (part of the Moto Z family announced) and the Lenovo-owned cellphone maker is referring it to as a transforming phone, not modular, but it is essentially the same concept.

We Wish Motorola Handcrafted Leather Selfie Stick is a Real Thing
Can taking selfie ever be classy? Apparently so, if you have the Motorola Selfie Stick. This purported accessory is not just any selfie stick; it is of real wood, handcrafted by master craftsman in their respective field, namely wood working and leather, and the result is an uber chic piece of accessory that, after watching the product video, you know you will never get your hands on one, ever. Unfortunate, it is. As a consolation, however pretty or elegant this wood and leather selfie stick is, it is not retractable like any selfie stick should, which means, it will be pain to carry around. So don’t feel too awful that this isn’t a real product. Even so, a part of us wish that it is a real deal. I mean, just look it; it is pure art. Almost as artsy as Harry Potter’s wand.

Second Generation 5.2-inch Motorola Moto X Available Now, Starts at $99
going on a product naming route similar to Apple’s computer, the second generation Motorola Moto X, which was announced two weeks ago, is still called Moto X. besides the name sharing, the second generation Moto X also looks pretty much like its predecessor with rounded corners, a curved back and most prominently, a rear camera just above the Motorola logo. however, under the hood, it is anything but similar. the most notable difference is the size. it now sports a beautiful 5.2-inch AMOLED display, boasting 1,920 x 1,080 pixels and a cool 423 ppi. dig deeper, there is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 chip with 2.5GHz quad-core processor and 2GB of RAM. 16GB storage is standard, but 32GB is also available through MotoMaker.
