    Motorola One Vision leak reveals new color option

    We’ve known for a while that Motorola is gearing to release another Android One phone under the name Motorola One Vision. Today, another leak gives us a glimpse at a new color option, which the One Vision will be available in at launch.

    As per earlier leaks, the Motorola One Vision will sport a sizable 6.2-inch display with a 21:9 aspect ratio and a small punch-hole selfie camera in the upper left corner. Around the back, the renders reveal, a dual-camera setup with a 48-megapixel sensor will be taking care of video and stills. There’s no word yet on what function the second camera will serve, though it could very well be used for depth sensing.

    Under the hood, the One Vision is set to be Motorola’s first smartphone that employs a Samsung processor. Specifically, the Exynos 9610, which was recently used in the Galaxy A50, and is about on par with the Snapdragon 660, performance-wise. The Samsung CPU is said to be accompanied by 3 or 4 GB of RAM and a 3,500 mAh battery.

    The newly-leaked renders also reveal a blue color option for the Motorola One Vision, in addition to the brown shade, which was shown in earlier leaks. The phone is slated to make its official debut at an event held in São Paulo, Brazil on May 15th.

  • Call Screen support is officially coming to Motorola One

    Call Screen support is officially coming to Motorola One

    Motorola has today announced that Google’s Call Screen feature is coming to the Moto G7 family and the Motorola One lineup. Until today, the feature was exclusively available on Google’s Pixel smartphones.

    Call Screen basically lets you use the Google Assistant to screen incoming phone calls, with the idea being that it’ll help avoid any scammers or unwanted callers. If you choose to use the feature, the Google Assistant will first ask callers why they are calling and relay the ongoing conversation in real-time on the screen. If you wish to answer the call yourself, you can do so at any time. Alternatively, you can choose to hang up or select another response such as “Is it urgent?” or “Tell me more.”

    Motorola says that it already “began rolling out,” although it didn’t specify when or how long it will take. Nevertheless, these things typically take a couple of weeks before everyone receives the update so if you own a Moto G7, Moto G7 Power, Moto G7 Play, Motorola One, or Motorola One Power be sure to be on the lookout.

    This feature’s release was hinted at as recently as yesterday by an update to Google’s Phone app. It also contained references to support for Nokia smartphones, which means these devices will likely be the next ones to receive the feature. However, as things stand, nothing has been announced officially.
