Lenovo-owned Motorola has expanded its product portfolio with the launch of Moto Green Pomelo Smartphone in China. The Smartphone comes in Rose Gold and Cool Black colour options and is priced at RMB 1,599 (Rs 15,700).
The Moto Green Pomelo comes with a 5.2-inch full HD display with 1080x1920 pixel resolution. The display is protected with a layer of Corning Gorilla glass on top. The Smartphone looks identical to the recently launched Moto G5S. The rear panel of the device houses the dual rear camera setup and the Moto logo.
The Smartphone runs Android 7.0 Nougat operating system and is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 processor clocked at 1.4GHz. It offers 4GB of RAM and 32GB internal storage which can be expanded further by adding a microSD card.
For the capabilities, the Smartphone sports a 16MP rear and front camera with LED flash and f/2.0 aperture. The Smartphone is backed by a 2800mAh battery and offers 4G, VoLTE, 3G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS as connectivity options.
HTC is reportedly working on two Nexus Smartphones based on Google's latest Android 7.0 Nougat operating system. Dubbed as 'Marlin' and 'Sailfish,' both Smartphones are expected to be launched by the end of this year.
The 'Marlin' features a 5.5-inch QHD Amoled display whereas the smaller 'Sailfish' boasts a smaller 5-inch Full HD display.
The HTC 'Marlin' will reportedly be powered by a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 SoC. Other reports indicate a possibility of the yet-to-be-announced Snapdragon 821 or 823 (themselves being rumored names) to be chipset of choice. It is also expected to feature a fingerprint scanner and will house a 12MP rear camera and an 8MP front-facing snapper. It will be backed by 4GB of RAM and a 3,450mAh battery. Like the flagship HTC 10, the 'Marlin' will also have a USB Type-C port.
The 'Sailfish' handset reportedly will feature similar hardware specifications, as per other online reports. However, the SoC of choice is still unknown.
After Google revealed the name of Android N recently, HTC was the first to announce the list of its Smartphones that will receive the update. The handsets include HTC 10, HTC One A9 and HTC One M9.
