Three images have emerged recently supposedly showing the upcoming, unofficial Motorola X Phone. The images hinted at the possibility that AT&T will be among the first mobile service providers to offer the rumored smartphone of Motorola.

The images were released through @evleaks, a Twitter source that has in the past been a good source of reliable information. The smartphone looks similar to the images of that were previously leaked into the net. The images, which bore the label “Blackboxed Motorola for AT&T,” did not give any details on the features of the smartphone. It looked like the handset that was posted on a Vietnamese website, although the images were already taken down.

However, the image also showed a slightly different Motorola icon for each of the shots. The top right portion of the screen also appeared to have been blurred or blocked on the image of the rumored Motorola X Phone. The bezel also appeared to be thicker than usual although this may be the case of the device itself.

Since the smartphone remains unconfirmed for the moment, the image will remain in the realm of speculations. It is also possible that the images shown were for different models of the smartphone that are currently being evaluated. The notification bar also shows the all-too-familiar Jelly Bean Android icon.

Reports on the supposed Motorola X Phone have been spreading at a fast rate, which may also mean something. Leaked benchmarks of the rumored smartphone emerged not too long ago, and these benchmarks showed a device using the Jelly Bean Android 4.2.2 OS.

Although the number of designs for different mobile service providers, it is safe to assume that the rumored Motorola X Phone will have one general design that will be used for all of these carriers.

A Wall Street journal report hinted at the possibility that Motorola will be releasing a smartphone that is internally called the Google “X phone.”

The plan in offering the supposed Google “X phone” shows that Google is putting to good use its acquisition of the smartphone manufacturer. It can be recalled that Google acquired Motorola at a price tag of around $12.5 billion.

The upcoming device will reportedly be powerful enough to go up against the smartphone offerings of Samsung and Apple. The report revealed that the supposed Google “X phone” may be released in the coming year, which means Motorola engineers are working hard to bring the device into the market.

Even as reports on the possible release of the Google “X phone” start to emerge, Motorola will still provide Verizon with devices for its lineup. The WSJ report also revealed that a tablet may also be released into the market due to the partnership between Google and Motorola.

The report also indicated that some obstacles were encountered by Motorola in producing a next-generation smartphone and one of the problems that the company encountered was the battery life features. However, if the report on the upcoming release of the Google “X phone” is accurate the company may be able to turn their fortunes around.

It appears that users of the Motorola Droid Razr M will have something to look forward to in the coming days following the announcement by the company that it has started to release the Jelly Bean Android Update for the device recently.

The update will reportedly be released in phases although it did not reveal when it will be able to complete the release of the Jelly Bean Android update to all Motorola Droid Razr M units. A 254MB support document was also posted by Verizon, which added that the download will take around thirty minutes to complete. After the software is downloaded, it will take another thirty minutes to install into the Motorola Droid Razr M unit. While the Jelly Bean Android update is being installed, users will not be able to receive or make calls.

According to the website of Motorola, the Jelly Bean Android update will bring numerous features and applications into the Motorola Droid Razr M that will facilitate the daily tasks of the users of the device. Among the features that will be offered by the Jelly Bean Android update for the Motorola Droid Razr M include the Voice Search function and Google Now. 

The Voice Search feature will allow users to speak into the phone when making searches while Google Now is considered to be an intelligent personal assistant that offers information such as the traffic on a certain route or the estimated time of arrival of trains while waiting on a platform.

The Jelly Bean Android update will also give users the capability of taking action straight from the notifications, which will allow them to save time and effort to accomplish the tasks. Users who receive a notification for a meeting on their Motorola Droid Razr M unit can send a message directly from the reminder if the user is running late.

Users of the Motorola Droid Razr M will also have an enhanced photo gallery, the capability of sharing photos through the Android Beam, a better text prediction feature, and offline voice-typing capabilities after the Jelly Bean Android update.

October Release For Motorola Droid Razr HD Hinted

Reports have recently emerged on the possible introduction of two HD smartphones by Motorola Mobility. Hot Hardware recently revealed that the smartphone manufacturer will be unveiling the Motorola Droid Razr HD as well as the Motorola Droid Razr Maxx HD.

However the site did not reveal the sources of its report. The upcoming Motorola Droid Razr HD and the Motorola Droid Razr Maxx HD will reportedly be introduced by the company through Verizon by October. This comes one year after the original version of the Motorola Droid Razr was introduced into the market.

But the supposed date of introduction for the upcoming Motorola Droid Razr HD comes after the supposed release date of the iPhone 5 of Apple, which may be disadvantageous for the company.

The original Motorola Droid Razr Maxx was the most popular smartphone from Verizon due to the better battery life which extended the talk time, gaming and browsing for users of the device. Even as the report has hinted at the possible launch of two Motorola devices, it is still also possible for the company to introduce only one smartphone in the market as indicated in an FCC filing for the reported Motorola Droid Razr HD.

It remains uncertain if the reported Motorola Droid Razr HD will be able to go up against the iPhone 5 of Apple in the market especially with reports that the latest model of the iPhone will supposed feature a bigger screen display, support for 4G LTE connectivity, and an enhanced design.

The upcoming Motorola Droid Razr HD will also have to contend with the Samsung Galaxy S3, which has been performing quite well following its recent release into the market.

The latest entry to the Atrix lineup of Motorola was reportedly inadvertently revealed recently. Although it was already removed, the features of the upcoming Motorola Atrix HD were revealed due to this.

The upcoming Motorola Atrix HD will reportedly feature a dual-core processor and an eight-megapixel camera. The splash page for the Motorola Atrix HD emerged on the website of the company and it showed the features of the upcoming device as well as a sign-up button for the button.

The Motorola Atrix HD, which was given the codename ‘Dinara’, is reportedly splash-resistant and will come with a dual-core 1.5GHz processor.

The upcoming device will use the Ice Cream Sandwich Android 4.0 OS and will feature an HD ColorBoost screen display measuring 4.5 inches. It will also feature the Corning Gorilla Glass protection.

Among the other features of this still-unreleased device are an eight-megapixel rear-facing camera and a 1.3MP camera in front. The Motorola Atrix HD will also come with a Kevlar micro-weave fiber back-plate which is similar to the one found on the Motorola Droid Razr and the Motorola Droid Razr Maxx.

The price tag and the release schedule of the Motorola Atrix HD remains uncertain although the device will be offered into the market by AT&T as indicated by the logo of the mobile service provider on the front portion of the device.

Motorola Droid Razr and the Motorola Droid Razr Maxx May Receive Android 4.0 Soon

Verizon recently confirmed that the Android 4.0 update will be released to the Motorola Droid Razr and the Motorola Droid Razr Maxx soon.

The US-based mobile service provider had promised to release the latest version of the Android platform for the slim smartphones of Motorola in the second quarter and it appears that the company is moving quickly to meet its own deadline.

Previous reports have given indications of possible release schedules of the Android 4.0 update for the Motorola Droid Razr and the Motorola Droid Razr Maxx. However these schedules have been constantly moved back.

The most recent schedule for the release of the update for the Motorola Droid Razr and the Motorola Droid Razr Maxx was on June 12, but the update has yet to be seen. Sources of the report has indicated that the June 12 release schedule was on the internal calendar of the company and it appears that the delay was due to some issues in another department within the company.

It appears that the recent confirmation released by Motorola on the upcoming Android 4.0 update for the Motorola Droid Razr and the Motorola Droid Razr Maxx has been sent to a number of Verizon customers.

The text message indicated that when the Android 4.0 update will be released to the Motorola Droid Razr and the Motorola Droid Razr Maxx, the Verizon Mobile IM application will be removed from the device since the latest Android mobile platform does not support the app.

Owners of the Motorola Droid Razr and the Motorola Droid Razr Maxx from Verizon are advised to download the new instant messaging application in order to use the IM on their devices.

The waiting may soon be over for owners of the Motorola Droid Razr and the Motorola Droid Razr Maxx from Verizon as the release of the Android 4.0 update draws closer.

Images of the upcoming Motorola Droid Razr HD have leaked into the internet recently although they appeared to be a bit blurred. The upcoming Motorola device is similar to that of the Motorola Droid Razr although it appears to be clad in Kevlar along its sides which gives it a more durable and rugged appearance.

The camera, which will reportedly be a 13MP unit, on the Motorola Droid Razr HD appeared to be in the center with the speaker and flash positioned on either side.

Reports have indicated that the display of the upcoming Motorola Droid Razr HD is remarkable although it gives no indications whether it will be similar to that of the Samsung Galaxy S3. However it will likely have a 720p HD display due to the HD on its name. This is similar to the display found on the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, Samsung Galaxy S3 and the HTC One X.

Previous reports have revealed the supposed features of the Motorola Droid Razr HD, which will reportedly use the latest Android platform, the Android 4.0 operating system. However the latest leak has not given any indications on the possible specifications of the upcoming Motorola smartphone.

But with a recent release of videos by Motorola of how it used the Ice Cream Sandwich Android, it will give hints at the possibility that the upcoming Motorola Droid Razr HD will feature the latest Android OS.

The upcoming Motorola Droid Razr HD is expected to be introduced during the summer and it may be released into the market around two months after it will be unveiled.

June 12 Release of Android 4.0 for Motorola Droid Razr

It appears that the Android 4.0 update will become available for the Verizon Motorola Droid Razr by the coming week.

The MotorolaDroid Razr and the Droid Razr Maxx were supposed to receive the latest version of the Android mobile platform last May 21 even as owners of the Motorola Xoom tablets will have to continue to wait for the release of the Android 4.0 update for their devices.

However it seems that the tables have turned as the Android 4.0 update is currently being released to the Motorola Xoom tablet while owners of the Motorola Droid Razr have yet to receive their Ice Cream Sandwich Android OS.

According to sources inside the US-based carrier, the over-the-air Android 4.0 update will be released to the Motorola Droid Razr by June 12. Since the servers that are used in delivering the latest Android mobile platform to the devices reportedly needed to be updated, a delay in the release was supposedly inevitable.

For owners of the Motorola Droid Razr who have reached their limit can opt to get the unofficial Android 4.0 update although they should take into consideration that since it is an unofficial update, it may result to the voiding of the warranty of their respective devices.
