Picture of supposed new Moto 360 smartwatch leaked on Weibo

While there are a growing number of players in the smartwatch market, one of the earliest OEMs to have made their mark in the market is Motorola and its Moto 360. Supposedly, it was the first round-faced Android Wear device to come out, but LG G Watch R beat them to the punch in terms of launching. And while the Moto 360 received stellar reviews, it just went quiet all of a sudden. However, a new image leaked on China's social networking giant might see the revival of the smartwatch.



Last month, there were already rumors that Motorola and Lenovo will be launching a successor to the Moto 360. Details were scarce however, except for the "vision" of the two OEMs to have more customization options, which Motorola specializes in with its Moto Maker. Lenovo meanwhile doesn't have a smartwatch of its own, so it's interesting to see why and how this partnership would look like. The supposed new smartwatch is that it will have a 360x360 resolution, which is quite an improvement from the current 320x290 of the Moto 360.


While the picture shows it is still going to be roundfaced of course, the resolution looks like it will be square (although you really can't tell from the leaked image). This could mean they've found a way to not waste the "dead zone" at the bottom of the circular display and instead pushed the display to the side.


The competition among Android Wear smartwatches is getting tougher and tougher, and so Motorola (and Lenovo) need to step it up a notch. LG in particular is making waves with its Watch Urbane, which is so far the nicest looking one in the block.

Rithm to challenge music streaming with cheaper price, messaging

The battle of the music streaming services just got even more interesting (and no, we're not talking about Jay Z's Tidal) with the arrival of another new challenger to the throne. Rithm has been in beta for some time now, but finally they're ready to take on the world, with a price tag that might attract those hold-outs for a paying service and a built-in messaging service that encourages sharing music with your friends.



The secret to attracting new users or to convince music lovers to abandon their current one or add another option to their mobile devices is a great interface, an extensive library, and a relatively cheaper price. So far from what we've seen, Rithm has a fighting chance (apart from its slightly bothersome name, which might irk spelling nazis). They have partnered with major music labels like Universal, Sony, Warner Brothers and even some indie label aggregating services like The Orchard and Merlin. They will even be bringing in later on Artist Shops where users can buy and share emojis and stickers, based on musicians like Steve Aoki, Migos, Zeds Dead, and The Chainsmokers.


In terms of user interface, it seems easy enough to understand, although it does lack a certain wow factor. But the built-in messaging might attract some people, particularly since it's easy to share songs with your friends, without really advertising it on other social networks (you don't want your officemates to know you listen to Ariana Grande non-stop).


But of course the biggest draw would be its price of $3.99 per month, which is better on the wallet than Spotify's $9.99 and most especially the $19.99 price tag on Jay Z's TIDAL. Now let's see if this new music streaming player can actually make a dent in the market. If you want to try it out, you can download the app for free from the Google Play Store.

Innori battery pack delivers a whopping 22,400 mAh of power [DEALS]

If last week's Android Community Deal still has you craving for more power, then you might want to feast your eyes on this. While not as fancy as a solar-charged power bank, this Innori product still deserves your attention and consideration. Not only does it have one of the largest capacities around, at an astounding 22,400 mAh, it also has not one, not even two, but three USB outlets that is sure to satisfy your needs, or at least that of your smartphones and tablets.



These days, it's not uncommon for a single person to have multiple devices at hand. Maybe it's two smartphones or at least a smartphone and a tablet. Or maybe even more! That's why it's no longer enough for power banks to offer only a single point of output. Most higher capacity power banks now have at least two.


So it only stands to reason that the Innori power bank would have more. After all, 22,400 mAh is plenty to share. With three USB outputs, the external battery can accommodate smartphones and tablets. In fact, two of the USB ports are optimized for charging smartphones with an output of 5V/1A and 5V/1.5A. The other is geared towards hungrier tablets with 5V/2.1A. That said, the bank's intelligent charging automatically adjusts the output to the device's needs.


Aside from that, the power bank has your usual assortment of features, including LED lights that denote charging status. The power bank itself takes 13 hours to fully charge from empty, which, though long, isn't surprising given its capacity. The Innori 22,400 mAh Portable Battery Pack is available at a juicy 42 percent discount, now only at $39.99.

Samsung Galaxy S6 a bigger loss for Qualcomm than expected

It was in January this year when Qualcomm divulged that a major manufacturer had backed out of using their new Snapdragon 810 processors/chipsets, something that would negatively impact their bottom line for the quarter, if not the year. They did not name the company, but Samsung had made an announcement that they would be using their own Exynos processors for this year’s flagship, the Galaxy S6. It’s not that difficult to put two and two together.



Fast forward to current times, and Qualcomm has already seen a number of flagship level phones announce the use of the Snapdragon 810 chipset – the overheating issue that plagued it early in the year is nowhere in sight. But more interestingly, it turns out that the Samsung Galaxy S6 was a bigger loss for Qualcomm – Samsung may have used their own wireless modem chips for the flagship, in addition to using Exynos processing cores. It was originally expected that Samsung would still use Qualcomm modems.

Qualcomm of course prefers that manufacturers go to them for processor chips and wireless modems – the Snapdragon line of products is a full chipset that satisfies both needs. But in the case of Apple – who produces their own processors – Qualcomm supplies the wireless modems (3G and LTE, whatever the need may be). Chipworks, a consultancy that analyzes the chips used in mobile devices, interestingly discovered that the Samsung Galaxy S6 used an Exynos processor and a Samsung modem – totally bypassing Qualcomm this time.

Is this a statement of intent from Samsung? Be that as it may, Qualcomm – one of the fastest growing companies in tech last year due to the massive use of their Snapdragon 800 and 805 chipsets, as well as widespread use of Snapdragon 400 products – is still on course to have its Snapdragon 810 chipset on most flagship devices this year. We can only wait and see how this will adversely affect Qualcomm and Samsung, if ever.
