Motorola is reportedly working
on a 6-inch phablet that could launch around the same time as Apple’s
iPhone 6. The plus-sized smartphone was leaked by a source on the
Chinese social media site Weibo, though the exact release date wasn’t
mentioned. Also left out of the post was any information about the
handset’s specs.
According to BGR, the phone,
which would be Motorola’s first big-screen smartphone, will launch in
the third quarter. This isn’t the first time we’ve heard that Motorola
was working on a 6-inch handset. Back in January, a similar post on
Weibo claimed that the company was developing a Moto X successor, as
well as a phablet and a smartwatch.
We haven’t heard much about the
Moto X successor. The smartwatch, however, turned out to be the recently
announced Moto 360. That sleek, circular device is one of the first
watches powered by Google’s new Android Wear platform.
Motorola Mobility, the company’s
smartphone arm, has changed hands frequently as of late. After being
purchased by Google, the handset maker was scooped up by Lenovo back in
January. It’s unclear if the acquisition caused any delays in the
company’s release schedule.
Apple’s iPhone 6 is expected to
be announced this fall and will reportedly sport a more powerful
quad-core processor and larger display. It’s unlikely, however, that the
smartphone would feature a screen size anywhere close to the phablet
range. Via: yahoo
