Moto G6 Play leaked images show off a Moto X4-like design and bezel-less display

Lenovo Motos upcoming smartphone series includes a new E-series and G-series lineup. While the three Moto E phones have been leaked in the past -- the Moto E5, Moto E5 Play and the Moto E5 Plus -- that replace the Moto C phones of 2017, three Moto G phones -- Moto G6, Moto G6 Plus and the Moto G6 Play -- are also rumoured that would fill the Moto G5(s) boots. New leaked images show off the design of Moto G6 Play in full glory.

The Moto G6 Play has been leaked by the Taiwanese certification agency NCC and was first spotted by TrendyTechz. The Play variant is said to be cheaper of the three Moto G6 phones, housing a lower end chip and a big battery. But from the photos it is clear that it carries an upgraded design taken from the more premium Moto X4 (but it may not be waterproof).

The phone appears to have a metal unibody design with a thin-bezel display at front. The glass back is rounded at the edges and there is also a single-sensor camera module dominating the rear. The fingerprint scanner is also placed at the back, underneath the M logo.

Rumoured details of phone say it will be powered by a Snapdragon 430 chip with 3GB RAM and 32GB storage. There may also be a 4GB/64GB version of the phone. It will have a 5.7-inch display with an 18:9-aspect ratio and, most probably, an HD+(1440x720) resolution. But one this clearly visible in the photos Lenovo still sticks to the Micro USB port for its mid-range devices.

The phone is expected to come with a 4000-mAh battery that would offset the phones big display power requirements, though its low resolution will also help. A 16-megapixel sensor is said to be doing the duty both at front and the rear.

Moto G6 Play may run Android Oreo out of the box, though by the time the phone actually gets launch in India, Google may be ready with the Android P. Like last year, the phones may get launched in the month of March or early April.

Pinterest files for IPO, but avoids calling itself a social network

The latest Silicon Valley company to file for an initial public offering is Pinterest , the San Francisco-based social network and image board that in recent years has built a large advertising and commerce business from its growing user base. The company, although it is still not profitable, says it earned more than $750 million in revenue last year, and it’s cut its losses from nearly $200 million in 2016 down to just under $75 million annually. Pinterest says it was in fact profitable in the fourth quarter of 2018, but not profitable enough to get out of the red for the full calendar year. The company, headed up by original co-founder and CEO Ben Silbermann, plans to go public on the New York Stock Exchange. It joins ride-hailing giants Uber and Lyft , on-demand delivery company Postmates , workplace communications platform Slack , and hotel and short-term home rental service Airbnb as one of the handful of Silicon Valley companies said to...

Apple records first-ever accident in self-driving car programme

The self-driving car was rear-ended while merging onto an expressway near the company’s Silicon Valley headquarters New York: An Apple Inc self-driving car was rear-ended while merging onto an expressway near the company’s Silicon Valley headquarters this month, the company said in an accident report posted on Friday that confirmed the iPhone maker is still in the race to build autonomous vehicles. Apple executives have never publicly spoken about the company’s self-driving car programme, but filings in a criminal court case last month confirmed that the company had at least 5,000 employees working on the project and that it was working on circuit boards and a “proprietary chip” related to self-driving cars. Apple is entering a crowded field where rivals such as Alphabet Inc’s Waymo unit and traditional carmakers such as General Motors Co’s Cruise Automation, as well as startups such as Silicon Valley’s Zoox, are pouring billions of dollars into cars that can drive the...

Huawei Employee Reportedly Reveals Android P Name, And It’s Not What You Think

It’s that time of the year when the world speculates on which dessert will be used as the name for the next Android version. While there have been several easter eggs and hints about Android P’s official name, there’s no clarity on what it might actually be called. According a report by Tabeltowo , a Huawei employee might have just leaked the full name of Android P as Android Pistachio. During a live chat with a customer, the Huawei support staff clearly said Android Pistachio in relation to a query about software updates in Poland, as seen in the image below: While simply Pistachio might not make sense to most people, considering the fact that Google is known for naming its Android version after desserts, a previous report might help. Back in February, Bloomberg had reported that Android P would be called Android Pistachio Ice Cream which makes more sense than just Pistachio. But we are sure you have other P-themed desserts in mind for...
