Back at MWC 2017 in Barcelona, Motorola revealed it was developing a number of new Moto Mods prototypes. And by far the most exciting was an Amazon Alexa Moto Mod – basically a mini speaker which users could snap on the back of the phone.

This week, serial leakster @evleaks has given us a glimpse of how the upcoming Mod will look like by sharing a picture showcasing the accessory, alongside a second yet-to-go-on-sale Polaroid Insta-share printer Mod, which was also teased during the Mobile World Congress.

As the name indicates, the Polaroid Insta-share can print out a physical copy of the photograph you’ve taken with your Moto Z / Moto Z2 series phone.

Going back to the Amazon Alexa speaker Mod, the accessory will enable users to control their smart home, hear the latest news and weather reports, as well as shop via voice on Amazon all via their Moto Z / Moto Z2 phones.

Evan Blass hasn’t revealed how much the upcoming Mods will cost, but this information will probably be revealed soon. We also don’t know when they will go on sale, but chances are it’s going to be soon.

In related news, you should know you that the Verizon Moto Z2 Play (which is compatible with Moto Mods) is currently on sale and customers can pick it up for just $239.

Google Play Movies joins iTunes, Amazon, and VUDU in Movies Anywhere

Google has had support within Chrome to allow Android users to bring over their iTunes songs for iPhone and iPad users for a few years, a huge relief to multi-platform users, but the same can’t be said for movies. Customers who want to shop around and get the most competitive prices for movies often find themselves with movies on multiple platforms: Amazon, Google Play, and iTunes, for example.

And this only complicates the movie-watching process; you can’t just go to one app and find your movies because they’re in three different apps. For some it’s a combination of Google Play Movies & TV, iTunes, and/or Amazon Video.

Google, Apple, and Amazon want to lock you into their movie world, but consumers just want to access their movies without trouble. Is that too much to ask?

Well, Google has finally decided it’s time to ease the movie-watching process for millions of Android users. The Android owner has added support today for Movies Anywhere, an app that’s free at signup and lets you bring together your movies from four platforms: Google Play, Amazon, iTunes, and VUDU.

You need only log into all four platforms and connect your accounts to Movies Anywhere, and that’s all. And for all your trouble of connecting two or more accounts with Movies Anywhere, you can receive five free movies: Ghostbusters (2016), Ice Age, Big Hero 6, The Lego Movie, and Jason Bourne.

To get started, you’ll need to head over to Movies Anywhere at the Play Store, then log in and agree to a video data sharing policy. Once you’re done, feel free to start adding your movie platforms to the app. You can also access the Movies Anywhere website to log in as well.

Are you glad to see Movies Anywhere bring all your movies together? Wish this had come along sooner? What do you think of the idea of Movies Anywhere?

How to get the top 5 Pixel 2 features on any Android device

When Google launched the Pixel 2 and the Pixel 2 XL earlier this month, Google and Android fans were excited to see what they had in store. But did you know that the camera that comes with the new Pixels is probably the only standout feature on these new devices?

What I am saying is that almost most of the “new” features introduced in the new Pixel 2 lineup including the Always on display, the AR effects in camera,  the all new home screen setup, motion photos and even the widely talked about always listening feature have already been present in the Android world for quite some time now.

So, if you are one among the people who are excited to get their hands on the all new Pixel 2 or the Pixel 2 XL as soon as they are publicly made available, you might want to consider this: you can get some of the most exciting features of these devices right now on the Android device you currently own. Surprised? Well, here is how to do it.

Always on Display

Always on display is a way to make your phone’s display stay on at all times, but also to display only the most essential things like the time and important notifications instead of lightening up the whole screen. The concept behind this is that the user will not have to power up the display every time he has to see the time or to check a notification.

Pixel 2 features

Since most flagship devices these days come with an AMOLED display and AMOLED displays do not use any pixels for the black parts of the screen, a lot of battery is saved on devices that have the Always on display implemented.

So, if you want to get the Pixel 2 like Always on display on your device, proceed by downloading the Always On AMOLED – BETA app from the Google Play Store.

Once you have installed the app on your device, just open the app and then provide the necessary permissions like notification access and modify system settings to proceed.

The app will now begin to work and you will be getting the Always on display as soon you lock your device. The best thing about this app is that unlike the static setup on the Pixel 2, you can customize the display with different watch faces and backgrounds if you want.

You will also be getting the preview of your notifications along with the date and calendar setup based on your preferences. If you chose to buy the pro version of the app then you can access many new watch faces and backgrounds apart from the ones that are already available in the free version.

Always listening

This feature is probably something Google bragged a lot about in the Pixel 2 launch. What it does is listen to the songs that are playing around you at all times and will detect what the song is and will display it to you as a notification on your lock screen. But this feature had been in existence on the Android OS for a long time now and you can get it on your device right now with the help of an app called Shazam.

Pixel 2 features

Shazam is an app that uses a huge library of audio files to detect and recognize any kind of audio you hear with it. While during the early days, it could only be used by opening the app and then clicking on the listen button, a few updates back Shazam introduced a new feature called Auto Shazam.

What Auto Shazam does is some what similar to the Always listening feature on the Pixel 2. Once you turn on this feature from the app settings, a persistent notification will appear and it will stay on your notification bar and continue to listen to the songs playing around you until you turn it off manually.

Auto Shazam is extremely accurate at all times and is also quick most of the times. While it is true that long time usage of this feature might have an impact on the battery life of your device, it is good to know that you can get the feature that everyone thought was exclusive to the Pixel devices right. And hey, you can save the precious battery if you chose to turn the Auto Shazam feature on only when you are outdoors.

AR Stickers

As we all know, Augmented Reality or AR is predicted to be the next big thing and most OEM are trying to integrate it into their devices to attract a larger set of audience. We saw it in the iPhone X launch and Google is also including it in the Pixel 2 devices and they are called AR stickers.

Pixel 2 features

While the concept sounds interesting and Google has improved it a lot by maintaining interaction between the user and even 2 AR Characters at the same time, basic AR objects like popular super hero characters, famous monuments or even animals are around as simple Android apps for a long time.

An app called Holo – Holograms for Videos in Augmented Reality was introduced earlier this year and it became quite popular after it was used as a promotional medium for the recently released Spiderman : Homecoming movie. While the technology used in this app is not as sophisticated and advanced as the one in the Pixel 2 for obvious reasons, it is still pretty cool and most of the AR objects in this app looks realistic enough.

You can just download the app from the Google Play Store and then select your favourite AR object from the list which includes Spiderman, a Tiger, a Zombie among others. Just like the Google Pixel 2 you can capture images and videos with these characters near you or anywhere you like and then share them with your friends. Hopefully the developer adds support to interaction between the user and the characters or between themselves in the future updates of the app.

Motion Photos

We all know that Google itself kind of borrowed this feature from the Live photos feature of iOS. Motion photos is a simple but interesting feature which captures a few seconds before and after you click on the capture button and will display it to you as an animation or a GIF.

If you like the idea of it, but are not planning on buying the Google Pixel 2 anytime soon, then you can get the Motion photos feature on your Android device right now by installing the Camera MX app from the Google Play Store. Once you have provided the initial permissions and have setup the app, you can proceed to capture your first Motion photo by clicking on 3 circles icon at the top and selecting Live shot from the pop up menu.

Since it is somewhat of an exclusive feature, the app requires you to connect your Google+ or your Facebook account to try this feature. So, connect your account to proceed and you can capture motion photos using the app.

You can access the image from the Gallery. At first, you will only see the image you have captured but if you press and hold the image, you can view what happened 3 seconds before you captured the shot and what happened 3 seconds after. Pretty cool isn’t it?

Pixel 2 features

Home screen Layout

We have already covered a separate post on how to get the new home screen layout of the Pixel 2 on any Android device using simple tweaks on Nova Launcher. Google has completely removed the dock on the home screen of the new Pixel devices and has replaced it with the Google search bar widget.

Pixel 2 features

It not only makes sense as it is easier to access now on devices with a bigger screen, it is also a smart move as a lot of people might use the search widget more often than before. If you love the new setup, then you can get it right now on your Android device by following our guide here.

Pixel 2 features

So, what do you think about these features and how do they work for you? Are you excited to get your hands on the features from the latest flagship device in town on your Android device? Let us know in the comments below.

Fender Monterey review

AndroidGuys
-
0

As one of the first Bluetooth speakers to come from Fender, the Monterey is the larger counterpart to the Newport (Read our review of the Fender Newport). Like its brethren, it looks every bit like a guitar amp with a design that looks right at home on stage. You’d expect to see something like this at a rock concert, but it’s designed for personal use at home.

It’s big and heavy; don’t look for an easy way to lug this one around. There’s no carrying handle on the speaker, something we figured we’d miss. But, once in place, with a record player, we found its permanent home. This is a set it and forget it kind of experience.

While it does have a traditional guitar amplifier design, it is also feels entirely new and modern. It is actually unlike anything else on the market. The cloth grille and faux leather stand out and fit nicely with today’s other speakers.

There are three modes of audio input: RCA, Bluetooth, and 3.5mm auxiliary. The power cord is the big standard AC plug that you might see with a computer or monitor. There are no USB ports for charging up; this does not have an internal battery. The Fender Newport, for its part, offers the ability to charge a phone on the go.

Features

  • 120-watt Bluetooth® speaker
  • Quad-driver system: two woofers, two tweeters
  • 33-foot+ Bluetooth range; mic with echo cancellation
  • 3.5mm auxiliary input jack
  • RCA connectors for preamp-equipped turntables

The Fender Monterey is a fun speaker to touch and run your fingers over, adjusting volume, bass, and treble channels our wannabe rock star. The power light, and its switch, are a very cool touch that aren’t necessary at all, however we loved them.

Turn the speaker on and you are greeted with guitar noises and notifications. They’re gentle and “country” like and alert you much like any other Bluetooth speaker. Toggling modes is as simple as pressing one of two tiny square buttons. The other button is used for pairing over Bluetooth.

This speaker wants to be looked at just as much as it wants to be heard. If you want a conversation piece or something that changes up a room’s decor, start here. And why not? it truly does resemble a 1968 amplifier.

As for sound, well, we were equally impressed. We found that in an office suite environment we didn’t want to push it beyond a level 3 of 10. In down time, and when others have left for the day, we enjoyed getting into 6 or 7 but never felt the need to go louder.

We also like being able to adjust the bass and treble levels. Using the familiar mushroom cap knobs, it’s a matter of dialing in from 1-10. It’s also worth noting that there’s a toggle on the back that enables and disables these equalizer settings. Should you have an audio source with its own settings, you can turn the Fender’s off and on based on your inputs.

Were the speaker more portable we could very well see us taking it to parties or setting it up for a day in the back yard. And, even though there’s no handle, we will likely do that when the weather breaks again. Overall, given the lengthy RCA inputs and 3.5mm cord, this is the sort of setup that you’ll want to keep pretty permanent.

The wooden speaker enclosure gives your music an excellent, warm, sound. Whether it was rock, electronic, or spoken word, the Monterey delivers a natural sound, both with and without equalizer settings.

Conclusion

At $350 the Fender Monterey prices itself out of range for casual users or those who looking for a decent Bluetooth experience. There are plenty of less expensive models that deliver a similar sound and which might also offer internal batteries or water resistance. But, music aficionados, or Fender brand enthusiasts will love the speaker.

For the money you get a speaker that has a great level of attention and love put into it. The Monterey is solid all the way through, with fine craftsmanship that results in a superior sound.

We love the multiple inputs and have come to set up our office around the speaker. The turntable has been moved to a more central location and we’re only too happy to bring the vinyl to work. We’ve come to listen to a wide variety of music, from an also wide selection of sources.

Is it worth the full $350 price? For most people this will be a hard one to say yes. Get it close to $300 and it’s a totally different ballgame. We have recommended this one to everyone we’ve encountered and left the decision up to them. But, even in cases where we know that they’ll turn up their nose at the cost, we’re still eager to let them listen — and drool.

Are you planning to run VPN on Android? Here are few facts to know (Promoted)

AndroidGuys

It is a well known fact that online data theft is something that every online entrepreneur dreads. And this is one of the reasons why you must not use a public network especially when you are making use of your hand held device. Even a young child knows that public network is not something that you can trust as it is not secure and is one of the avenues that hackers make use of by stealing data.

Most importantly, your personal information like bank account numbers and credentials can fall into wrong hands. And to overcome such incidents or mishaps, the use of VPN or Virtual Private Network makes sense. This allows your information to be encrypted which keeps your data safe and secured.

In this write-up, let us find out what you should know about the nuances of using VPN on your Android device. So, read on for a better insight. The article will deal with the following topics:

  • VPN – What is it
  • Why use VPN
  • Should you use it on your phone

VPN – What is it

In simpler terms, it is basically a “middleman” or a “bridge” between the internet and you. It is basically a service that enables you to receive as well as send data across virtually. So, if you choose to set up and activate Virtual Private Network, it means that all the web traffic is being directed to you and from you through this network, which is undoubtedly secure as the data is transmitted in encrypted form.

However, only 2 people are involved in the transmission of data, the one that sends and the one that receives provided both have the permission to communicate across the network. You will be provided with an IP address which is user specific. There are 2 ways in which you can avail the service, paid and non-paid or free. The former offers more incentives.

Why use VPN – Benefits of using VPN

Using a private network has several benefits. Some of them are as follows-

Privacy and security – Using a virtual private network may not protect your data fully unless you use an encrypted connection and most importantly from a reliable service provider. In this way, a channel is created between you and the party on the other side. No third party can intercept the communication that is taking place between 2 parties. And if at all there is security breach and data is grabbed, no one will be able to decode the data.

Access to restricted areas – If you are not able to access services of areas that are restricted, with the help of VPN on Android device you are using, you can access the service. There are times when services or access is denied due to “regional lock”.

Should you use it on your phone

By all means, you can use virtual private network on Android device. This is because you may not always need encrypted data or you may not be exchanging sensitive data always. If you are planning to use it on your phone, you can install one of the apps that let you set up the feature and activate it.

Several features like bandwidth monitoring are also offered by certain service providers and you can keep a tab on the amount of bandwidth you are using. However, make sure you opt for the paid service or the subscription based service, which offers much more than the free ones.

Most importantly, virtual private network is compatible with majority of the web browsers and also with apps that you install on your phone.

Do you love playing Pokémon everywhere you go? Then you’ll be thrilled to know that Niantic just launched a fun Pokémon Go AR Contest which challenges trainers to snap epic AR phones while trying to catch Pokémons in stunning locations.

Use the AR camera feature in the Pokémon GO application to snap a photo of a Pokémon while you’re using the app. But take note that photos, where an individual appears, will be disqualified. You can enter up to three images using one Instagram account throughout the whole contest period.

One of the prizes

It’s a global competition, so it’s not limited only to those living in the US. To join simply post your entries on Instagram and tag #PokemonGocontest. The contest begins at 12:00 A.M. Pacific Time on October 11, 2017, and ends at 11:59:59 P.M. PT on October 27, so you have plenty of time to get creative.

A panel of experts (judges) will pick the best 10 entries. Each winner will be awarded a Pokémon Go Prize Pack which contains a Pokémon Go Plus, a poster bearing the autographs of the whole Niantic team and one pair of wireless earbuds. The approximate retail value of the bundle is $240, if that matters.

If you’re looking to apply, we wish you good luck!

Alexa can now tell the difference between your voice and your roommate’s

Amazon Echo owners, if you ever found yourself jealous of Google Home’s ability to recognize different voices, then you will be happy to know that Alexa just gained this exact skill this week.

The new feature is currently rolling out for the Amazon Echo, Echo Dot, and Echo Show devices, but eventually, all users of Alexa-enabled devices (including those made by third-parties) should be able to take advantage of this new ability.

An extremely useful addition for people who are sharing an Amazon Echo, voice recognition enables your speaker to tell who is talking to it and provide personally-tailored responses. So if you instruct it to call John, it will call your friend, not your roommates.

To set this feature up, you will need to navigate to Alexa’s app settings, find Your Voice and then teach Alexa what your voice sounds like by reading out 10 full phrases. Once you’ve trained the virtual assistant, she will store the information in the cloud and make use of it again if you purchase another Alexa-enabled device.

For the time being, Alexa will take advantage of its new skill to personally tailor calls/messages, flash briefings, shopping activities and music playback via the Amazon Music Unlimited Family Plan. However, Amazon promises voice recognition will be made available to other additional Alexa features sometime in the near future.

Mujjo’s leather case for the Samsung Galaxy S8 is as premium as it gets (Review)

Gerson Noboa

Because of the relentless competition in the smartphone market, we are in the middle of a race to come up with the device that feels the most “premium.” One could argue that functionality has been left aside in favor of fragile but better-looking materials. Glass and metal backs are now almost the standard on new, high-end devices (and even some mid-range ones), but they can break, dent, or scratch very easily.

However, who can deny the beauty of devices like the Samsung Galaxy S8 or the HTC U11? These materials are here to stay, so we have to embrace them. It is our job to protect our devices, either by nursing them or by slapping a case on them.

Thankfully, we’ve left behind those early days in the options we had were basically reduced to generic TPU silicone cases that looked horrible (although they did a good job in protecting the device).

Nowadays, several companies are doing cases that combine materials (such as silicone with plastic), have fancy (or personalized) designs, or provide protection against even the biggest of phone abusers (like Otterbox products).

Others have gone a little bit further and have been experimenting with materials such as wood and leather. One of these is the Dutch designer label Mujjo, which specializes in premium leather cases. If you have a Samsung Galaxy S8 or S8+, then this might be one of the most stylish choices your hard-earned money can buy right now.

Packaging

Even though most people just throw away the packaging and concentrate on the case (which is a perfectly valid way of approaching life), I love to examine cases a bit further because they tend to show how much weight the company puts into attention to detail. Sure, you can have a plastic case wrapping up your product and call it a day, but why should you do that when there are so many better ways?

Being a brand that focuses heavily on looks, Mujjo opted for the better way. The whole case is completely black, but it has a “door” on the front that you can open in order to see the case itself. This door is even held by a (hidden) magnet so that it doesn’t move around.

The inner compartment has a small opening on the side so that you can feel the full-grained leather. If you slide the whole thing downwards, then you can access the case. It might not be that important to a lot of you, but first impressions count, and Mujjo did a great job in getting it right from the start.

Appearance

From the moment you get your hands on the case, you can feel that this is no ordinary case. First of all, like other leather cases, the Mujjo leather case is extremely light. Samsung has done an awesome job this year to make their devices as light as they can, and it is a shame when a case makes a phone feel like a Nexus 6. I mention this because I normally use a wooden case on my S8, and I can definitely notice the added weight that it provides.

Another fact that is immediately apparent is how slim the case is. It is slimmer than a plastic case I have for the S8! This is no accident: this is exactly what Mujjo aims for with all of their cases. The case covers the top part completely, providing a couple of millimeters to protect the phone from drops and scratches on the screen when laid face down.

Speaking about the leather itself, Mujjo claims that all of their cases are of “premium quality full-grain leather” that goes through a tanning process and is treated with aniline oil. I made some research about it so that you don’t have to. These seemingly complex terms mean that the leather is dyed so that it retains the texture that characterizes leather. If it was painted in a normal way, then the leather would lose some of its details and the result would just not look as good.

This is why, with a Mujjo case, the leather has a very detailed and fine-grain surface when you look closely to it, and feels incredibly smooth and soft to the touch when you hold the phone in your hand. Even the cutouts along the bottom, the camera, and the buttons feel extremely polished.

Having a leather case in a phone means that, unlike plastic or glass, the case will show signs of age after a few months. In fact, the peculiar way I hold my phone means that the leather is already a little bit darker on the top left corner. The signs of age are definitely something I’m looking forward to and is something that leather lovers will surely appreciate.

Finally, I just want to mention that the inside of the case is not made of plastic (like I thought it would be), but rather of a very soft-feeling microfiber material. This is good news for the fragile glass back of my S8 and adds to the overall quality and attention to detail that the case tries to project.

Functionality

Instead of opting to cover the buttons and the bottom region, Mujjo decided that it would be better to cut out that part and leave the buttons and ports unobstructed. This means that, except for the corners, the whole bottom part of the phone is easily accessible (good news for people with weird headphone plugs).

Also, owners of this case will not have to deal with the loss of button sensitivity that comes with a case that fully wraps around the phone. I have a plastic case with weird cutouts that makes it a burden to operate the buttons (especially the power button, you know, the one that you use the most), so I appreciate a lot not having to fight against my device in order to turn it on while I’m using the Mujjo case.

Of course, the downside of this approach is that the phone is less protected than with a case that covers the phone all over the edges. Sure, the Mujjo leather case provides great protection on the corners and along the top part of the device, but if you drop your phone and it lands on the bottom part or in the area close to the buttons, then you can wave your screen goodbye.

On the upside, it provides basically the same protection on the sides of the device (the regions that have no buttons nearby) than other cases I’ve used. There’s not much more that can be done to protect the edges of the S8, so Mujjo’s approach is as good as it gets.

Conclusion

Mujjo is trying to associate its brand with high-quality, luxurious leather cases for mobile devices. From what I’ve seen in this case, it lives up to the high expectations that one might expect from such a company.

Thanks to the beautiful, premium-quality leather they use, combined with superb design and attention to detail, the Mujjo leather case for the Samsung Galaxy S8 is easily one of the best ones you can get for your device at this moment. You may end up giving up a bit of protection in the process, especially in the bottom area, but the trade-off is a stylish case that enhances the looks of your already-beautiful S8.

The case can be bought from Mujjo’s website for approximately $50 in case you own an S8, or approximately $56 if you’re the proud owner of an S8+. The case can be bought in Saddle Tan or Black colors. It doesn’t matter if you are in Netherlands or in Ecuador since Mujjo ships worldwide.

Hopefully, Mujjo considers selling these cases for more devices, since, right now, if you don’t own either a current-gen Samsung flagship phone or a fruit-branded, courageous device, you are out of luck. Now that the new Pixel devices are out, maybe we could see cases for them? A man can dream.

All you need to know about smartphone storage (Promoted)

When buying your new phone, the amount of internal space for storage is usually one of these very important aspects which influence the choice to get one phone over another. But wait, how much of the offered 16, 32 or 64GB is actually there for use? This differs a lot between devices. There were countless hot debates about the 16GB version of the Galaxy S7 when it was found that around 8GB was already consumed by the operating system and some other pre-installed apps.

To know more about the phone storage concept, let us find out the things that most of the people don’t know.

Checking Before Buying

If you’re buying a new smartphone online, it’s usually more challenging to check what amount of the internal storage space is actually available as opposed to buying from any store.

Dedicated smartphone stores often have a sample phone available, and it takes just a few seconds to check the settings and the storage section. If you’re buying one, and can’t see any information on any functional storage in the specs, don’t be afraid to contact the store and ask. Trustworthy sellers shouldn’t have any problem letting you know about this information.

Free up the Internal Storage

You can find a couple of possible ways to make some space in the internal storage; it depends on the phone you have.

Disable Bloatware: Only a few mobile phones allow you to do this, however, if you have an Android phone with the latest version, the process is easier than you think. While disabling a 100MB pre-installed application won’t clear up a related amount of storage, it should make some more space. Repeat this enough times and you’ll have a decent amount of storage gained.

Clear the Photos: This is usually a decent practice to do even if storage on the phone isn’t a problem. Make use of the synchronize software with your phone to back up the photos to your PC on a regular basis. You’re then capable of deleting your pictures off of the phone (or at least many of them) to clear up some space. Google Photos is a wonderful app which lets users sync pictures and videos to the cloud.

Use a Cleaner Application: Applications, such as CCleaner or Norton Clean are a good way to clear unwanted or unneeded data files from your mobile, with the touch of a button. Just as before, this measure will not clear up huge space, but it can certainly make some big difference. Moreover, a lot of phones now have optimization tools built in to help free up space.

Get rid of some applications:  If you’re like me, you’ll be guilty of installing the latest fad application, using it frequently for a couple of weeks and then moving onto the next one. In other words, the old trends should not be followed, because tons of apps are being created and available to use whether they are games, educational apps or many others. Try to find the app which occupies less space, or if an alternative is available of the same nature app then download that to avoid getting your device storage eaten. If you are the one game lover who wants to play some of the big sized games, then you must give a try to best external hard drive for Mac to play big sized games that can run smoothly without any problem.
