 moto e photo

In the above image you can see Moto E standing by the side of Moto G (Left). From the photo we can conclude that Moto E is coming with the same display size and overall phone dimensions as that of Moto G. The source claims that the above image is pulled from the Motorola Mexico’s Facebook page (¿alguien cometió un error, eh?). From the image we can see that there are quite larger speakers fitted in the Moto E on the front side at the bottom of the device. Here we are unable to fin the front facing camera and it seems to be absent from the Moto E. That pill-shaped black spot is likely the proximity and ambient lighting sensor, as on the Moto X and Moto G.

Did you guys believe this photo? Let’s wait for the official event on May 13th which is going to happen in London. What are your expectations from the device? Share your views via comments below.

As a promotional activity, HTC will be handing over the limited edition HTC One M8 smartphones to selected people via a contest. To take part in the contest, you will have to click a Captain America theme based super selfie and post it on HTC USA or HTC CANADA page or upload the photo onto your twitter account with the #superselfie. HTS US will be handing over 10 phones while HTC CANADA has this number reduced to 4.

Other than the S.H.I.E.L.D. logo, the phone is the same standard HTC One M8 that will be available in the standard model of the phone.

Rovio Retry Game Coming Soon

Rovio is going to launch new game,”Retry” for the gamers. As per the information it will be similar game as like of Flappy Bird. It bears similarities to the hugely popular (and no longer available) Flappy Bird.

In Retry, players pilot a plane while performing loop-de-loops to manoeuvre under and around obstacles. Retry is described as “a game so hard, so addictive, so old school that you’ll think you’ve stepped into an 8-bit time machine and gone back to 1986. Totally rad!”

Retry was actually developed by Rovio’s new LVL11 team, which are tasked with creating experimental type games.

Retry is free-to-play although you can buy more airports with real money should you so wish — I predict you will. The game is coming to “App Stores” soon although is out in Canada, Finland, and Poland later today.
