However, Strategy Analytics says that 69.4 million Samsung smartphones have been shipped during the quarter, [...]
Google Motorola X Phone with Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie benchmarked?
Expected to be officially unveiled by Google later this year, the Motorola X phone is still somewhat of a mythical device – as no solid evidence of its existence has appeared until now. Still, if we’re to give credit to a new screenshot spotted just recently, it looks like the smartphone has been benchmarked under [...]
Motorola X phone delayed?
The X is supposed to be the one phone (or series of phones according to some past rumors) to reinvent Motorola. It should encompass Google’s influence over its smartphone making division, and bring us unicorns and everything else that’s nice and sweet. Or something like that. And we’ve been hearing about the Motorola X for [...]
Verizon’s Motorola Droid RAZR MAXX HD can now be yours for $79.99
A bit over two months ago, we brought you news that Verizon’s Motorola Droid RAZR MAXX HD was being sold by Amazon for the low, low price of $99.99 (which only applied to new customers, by the way, it was $50 more for existing customers). It’s taken quite a while, more than we’re used to, [...]

Unknown upcoming Motorola smartphone stars in photo shoot and video, it’s probably not the X
A yet-unseen Motorola handset has been leaked in Vietnam today. We have hands-on pictures, as well as a video (which you can see at the source link) showcasing the Motorola XT912A. There’s something strange about that purported model number, though. Take away the “A” and what you’re left with is the model number for the [...]
Motorola X Phone gets new round of supposed leaked specs, some still sound fishy
Another day, another Motorola X rumor. Yesterday’s “leaked image” proved to be a fake (and we’re thankful that it did), and the specs that ‘got out’ then sounded quite fishy. Today we have a new bunch of rumored specs, and these sound rather implausible as well. Or let’s just say that some things don’t necessarily [...]

[UPDATE: Image is fake, specs could be too] Motorola X Phone details, specs, and blurry image leaked?

Or something along those lines, [...]
Verizon’s original Motorola Droid Razr and Razr Maxx getting Android Jelly Bean as of now
Lat last month, Motorola unveiled that Verizon Wireless’ original Droid Razr and Razr Maxx smartphones would be updated to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean before the end of this quarter.

Motorola X to be a ‘game changer’, one senior telco exec thinks
Finally, this summer we get to see the first smartphone developed by Motorola after Google took it over. In other words, this will be the first ever ’100% Google’ phone. They call it the Motorola X. It’s unclear if that’s just a codename or if it will be used as the commercial name as well, [...]
