Motorola on Thursday announced the Moto Z3, at a small press event at its headquarters in Chicago. This is the latest Motorola phone to have magnetic backings that attach to Moto Mods, or modules, and will be one of the first phones ever to dial in to 5G. Starting in early 2019, Motorola will release …

Now that the Moto Z3 — with its ridiculously fast snap-on Verizon 5G modem — has been revealed as Motorola’s new flagship phone, you might be wondering: What about the shatterproof Moto Z3 Force? Sadly, there is no Moto Z3 Force, the company just confirmed on Twitter, as spotted by The Verge. Hi. We will not be launching any more …

At a Chicago press event today, Motorola announced the Moto Z3, a premium phone that features a dual 12-megapixel rear camera, 5G support and a splash-resistant design. It joins the Moto Z3 Play, which launched back in June, as part of the company’s high-end line of phones that work with magnetic snap-on accessories called Moto Mods. As Motorola’s flagship phone, the …

The wait to get your hands on camera maker Red’s Hydrogen One phone is a little shorter today.  The phone, which is expected to deliver cinema-quality video and features a holographic display, has passed the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) approval process, as reported by CNET sister site ZDNet. As part of the process, a user manual was posted on the FCC’s website as …

Verizon’s mobile 5G network is going to launch early next year, even if the company hasn’t outright said it.  The nation’s largest wireless carrier by subscribers essentially outed its plans with the debut of Motorola’s Moto Z3, which will get a “mod” attachment accessory that’ll let it tap into the 5G network early next year.  “You’re not going to have …

It appears that for bargain hunters seeking wireless deals, the golden days are over.  During the last few weeks, Verizon introduced a higher tier plan for the especially data-hungry user, while Sprint and AT&T both relaunched their data offerings with new, pricier options. Some offer new features like video or hot spot capabilities, but they ultimately still mean you’re paying …

Late last week, Verizon rolled out a rather surprising new option: Four lines of prepaid service for $100. That’s an unusually competitive move on the part of the Big Four carrier, one that brings it closer to the multi-line discounts offered by AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint. It also directly lines up with MVNOs Cricket Wireless and MetroPCS: Both carriers also …

Huawei overtook Apple in the second quarter of 2018 to become the world’s second largest phone vendor, according to new market research. The embattled Chinese phone maker shipped 54 million handsets in the quarter, an increase of 41 percent over last year, researcher Canalys reported Tuesday. Huawei’s success was due in part to strong demand for its flagship P20 handset …

Sprint continues to chug along with modest customer growth. Not that it really matters.  For the quarter just ended, the Overland Park, Kansas, wireless carrier posted total customer growth of 57,000 net new customers and, most importantly, 87,000 net new phone customers in the lucrative postpaid category.  But ultimately, the results, announced Wednesday, are less relevant than its pending merger …

Once again, T-Mobile took the pole position when it comes to smartphone wireless customers.  The carrier added a total of 1.6 million net new customers in the second quarter, a number that includes 686,000 so-called postpaid phone customers. The company said it has led the industry for 18 straight quarters in that key metric.  T-Mobile’s continued dominance comes amid the …
