Motorola is expected to launch a slew of new devices over the next 4 months. While the Moto G2 and Moto X+1 is expected to launch on September 5th along with the Moto 360 (very likely) in India, globally, we could also see as many as 5 more device launches over the next 4 months
It seems formerly Google-owned, Motorola, has big plans for the second half of this year. According to reports, the company has a total of eight devices that it will launch before Christmas this year, with the new Nexus smartphone included among them. The devices also include the Moto X+1, Moto G2, Moto X Play, Moto S, Droid Turbo, Droid and Droid Maxx. Notice that the Moto 360 hasn’t been mentioned here, since it has already been announced. So, in essence Motorola has nine devices coming in the next four months. Excited? Why wouldn’t you be? After all, the first of these launches is in two weeks.
The company sent out an invite to the media yesterday, mentioning only that it is going to host an event in New Delhi on September 5. As we reported earlier, this is expected to be the launch event for the Moto G2, Moto X+1 and the Moto 360 smartwatch. The company has also been rumoured to be working on the next Nexus smartphone, with a device, codenamed Shamu recently showing up on benchmarks. According to speculations, this is the new Nexus smartphone, which comes with a Snapdragon 805 chipset and 3 GB of RAM.
Further, the Moto X Play smartphone mentioned above is expected to be a mini version for the Moto S device that is selling overseas. The company hasn’t brought any of its devices under the Droid brand to India yet, but considering its new found interest in the country, things could change. Motorola had previously held the global launch event for the Moto E smartphone in India, while the Moto G sold over 1 million units here in less than five months. That said, the company’s higher end smartphone, the Moto X, which is one of its best devices, hasn’t done quite as well in India.
While all these devices are expected to arrive by the end of the year, some reports have said that some may be pushed to early next year. Nevertheless, with 9 devices at the brink of entering the market, Motorola is looking at a very busy second half of 2014.
