LeEco Le Max 2 6GB RAM variant goes up for pre-order

As you might already know, the LeEco Le Max 2 - which was unveiled back in April this year - comes in 4GB as well as 6GB RAM variants. But, only the 4GB variant has been available for purchase all this while. That, however, will soon change as the company has started accepting pre-orders for the 6GB version.



Pre-orders can be placed on the Chinese company's official online store, with deliveries expected in next 2-3 weeks, meaning you should be able to get your hands on the device by this month's end.
It's worth mentioning that the device is expected to land in India next week, although it is least likely that the 6GB variant will be available at launch.

Alleged rose gold iPhone 7 rear case leaks showing single camera

The latest iPhone 7 leak comes from China. A picture showing what is purported to be the handset's rear casing has been leaked, and you can see it to the left. This is the shell for the rose gold color version of the upcoming iPhone, which means Apple won't give up on the pinkish hue this year.




You can see the revised antenna lines on the leaked case. The position of these lines up with what basically every single leak and rumor about the iPhone 7's design has said so far, so at this point it's hard not to believe that this is what Apple is going for with its next smartphone.

There's a single cutout for the camera, alongside one for the LED flash, so if Apple will launch a dual-camera assembly this year it will be confined to the iPhone 7 Plus - again, as has been rumored countless times already.

Moto Z Droid Edition shows its back in leaked pics

It's already been revealed that this year Motorola will unveil a successor each for the Moto X Style and Moto X Play from 2015, yet this time around they will bear Moto Z branding. While the Moto Z Style and Moto Z Play will be available internationally, let's not forget about the company's ongoing partnership with Verizon for Droid-branded handsets.

It does share the looks of both the Z Style and Z Play, that's for sure - at least on the back, as you can see above. Amazingly, the Droid branding is pretty discreet with this one, not something you'd expect from Verizon. Furthermore, Big Red's own logo is nowhere to be seen, though it's possible that it will be placed on the front of the device.



The Moto Z Droid Edition will support the MotoMods that Motorola will unveil this year. The company's modular accessories connect to the pins that are present on the lower side of the phone's back. As of specifications it is expected to add Snapdragon 820 chipset, along with 4GB of RAM, a 5.5-inch QHD AMOLED touchscreen, 32GB of storage, a 13 MP rear camera with OIS, and a 2,600 mAh battery, all packed into a 5.2mm thin body.

Moto Z will have MotoMod modular case accessories

Lenovo is preparing to launch a follow-up to the Moto X range of smartphones with the soon-to-come Moto Z. The new flagship is going to sport interesting snap-on accessory cases, dubbed MotoMods, which today have been leaked by @evleaks .
Each case is semi-modular and has distinct function - there's one with an extra battery inside, while another will have stereo speakers and a built-in pico projector.
The third one on the right is camera-oriented and has a dedicated camera sensor, lens and flash. Rumors suggest the range will consist of "adventure," "theater," "stereo," "power," "style," and "pro camera" MotoMods.


Allegedly, Motorola’s next flagship smartphone will pack Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 chipset, 4GB of RAM, and 32/64GB of built-in memory. The display is said to be a 5.2” QHD AMOLED panel. It is expected to make the Moto Z official at the Tech World conference in San Francisco on June 9 by Lenovo.
