Motorola says Oreo is arriving for Moto Z family – for really reals this time.

-

After what seems to have been a false start back in February, it appears that Motorola is really serious about pushing the Oreo out to their phones this time, announcing the update is now available for the Moto Z family.

We're a little sceptical ourselves after the February announcement which advised that Oreo was available 'from today' for the Moto X4, Moto G5 (and variants) and Moto Z family turned out to be vapour, but here we are again reporting on the press release from Motorola Australia who is saying that the update is definitely now available for the moto z, moto z Play and moto z2 Play.

The 1.1GB update is filled with all the Oreo goodies you'd expect covering new multitasking features, security capabilities, as well as improved notifications and performance. Motorola lists some of the improvements included in the update as:

  • The ability to autofill your logins to favourite apps.
  • Faster speeds, longer battery life and smart text selection.
  • Picture-in-picture gives you a floating window letting you do more at the same time.
  • Notification dots on your apps to alert you of something new.
  • Google Play protect to keep you safe from malicious apps.
  • Further improved battery life.
  • New Emojis – one can express themselves in very many new ways through a fully redesigned Emoji set which includes over 60 new Emojis.

Motorola has also said that the update will include specific updates for the Moto Z family including camera improvements that will improve both performance and speed for images captured with depth information, and the system files have been reduced by up to 2GB – and you guessed it: bug fixes and stability improvements.

Motorola Australia promises that the update is really truly available this time – and we've seen some tweets headed our way saying it is, so hopefully this time we can not get swamped with 'Fake news' comments this time.

Google Pixel 3 / Pixel 3 XL case reviews: Because breaking an $800+ phone would really suck [Updated continuously]

If you thought the Pixel 2 and 2 XL were expensive, you probably weren't very happy when you saw the Pixel 3's $799 and Pixel 3 XL's $899 MSRPs. The Pixel 3 XL received a modest $50 jump in price from the 2 XL, but the Pixel 3 went up by a whopping $150 when compared to the Pixel 2. In other words, those who've purchased a new Pixel, regardless of the model, are probably going to want to protect it. Like last year's , this roundup will feature a wide variety of cases from several different manufacturers. For each case, we'll start off with some pros and cons and finish with a verdict on whether or not it should be considered. Screen protectors and any other pertinent accessories will also be featured. We plan to continuously update this post with new reviews as more cases come in.

17 features and tricks to help you get started with Spotify

-
Image
Spotify is one of the world's most popular music streaming services, with 157 million active users ( as of December 2017 ) and over 35 million songs. Originally born in Sweden, it quickly gained popularity as it expanded outside of its home country. Frankly, it's hard to believe that Spotify hit U.S. shores almost seven years ago. For many who were accustomed to mainstays at the time like Pandora and iHeartRadio, Spotify represented something different. And to some of us, its disparity to those other services was off-putting. I was one of those people who was initially excited about it, then quickly became frustrated with it when I tried to use it like Pandora, which was my go-to back then. Fast forward to the very recent past and I decided to give Spotify another try — at the behest of Artem, no less. When I sat down to figure out how to best utilize it, I wanted to learn how to not only get going, but how to use Spotify to the best of its abilities in both the free

Last weekend, fans from all around the world made the trek to Southern California to see some of music's biggest names perform at Coachella. To make those not at the festival feel like they were there, we headed to the desert with VR180 cameras to capture all the action.

If you missed it live, you can enjoy some of the best experiences—posted here . VR180 can take you places you never thought possible—the front row at a concert, a faraway travel destination, the finals of your favorite sporting event, or a memorable location.
