Motorola to announce the Moto 360, G2 and X+1 on September 4

Motorola has decided to make one of its biggest announcement in recent history on September 4. The company has sent out press invites and the hints are very clear.
We're in for the announcement of the Moto 360 smartwatch, as well as the Moto G 2 and Moto X+1 smartphone duo. Additionally, a new bluetooth headset accessory is going to get its announcement, at the event.

The Moto 360 was announced on March 18 and will finally be launched almost half a year later. The smartwatch leaked in a series of photos recently flaunting its metal body. The wireless charging and the charging cradle were also shown. The price of the watch was rumored to be around €249, but we'll let Motorola have the final say.
The Moto X+1 is expected to be the company's next flagship. It's said to come with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 chipset (with a 2.5 GHz quad-core CPU) along with 2GB of RAM. Earlier reports and different mumblings also had it coming with a 5.1" or 5.2" touchscreen of 1080p resolution, a 12 MP rear camera, and a 2,900 mAh battery.
As for the Moto G2, we reported that it's going to ship on September 10 for €250. It's going to be a dual-SIM device with a 5" display of 720p resolution, a Snapdragon 400 chipset with a quad-core 1.2GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and Adreno 305 GPU, 1GB of RAM, plus an 8MP rear camera. The phone is also known as the Moto G+1, but we'll know its final name on September 4.

Micromax Canvas Knight Cameo A290 launches in India

Today Micromax has released a new Android smartphone in its home market of India. The Canvas Knight Cameo A290 is already up for grabs at one online retailer, going for INR 12,350 (that's around $202 or €151 at the current exchange rates).
The Canvas Knight Cameo comes with a 4.7-inch 720p touchscreen, an 8 MP rear camera with LED flash, and a 5 MP front snapper for selfies.

It's powered by MediaTek's MT6592M chipset, which sports a 1.4 GHz "true octa-core" CPU, aided by 1GB of RAM and 8GB of expandable internal storage (of which 5.64GB is user accessible).
The phone has support for 21 Mbps HSDPA, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS, and a 2,000 mAh battery. It runs Android 4.4.2 KitKat.
The Micromax Canvas Knight Cameo is being offered in Pure Black, Black and Gold, and White and Gold.

Moto X+1 rumored to launch at Verizon on September 25

The oft-leaked but not so far announced Moto X+1 now gets a rumored release date. According to some unnamed sources, it should land at Verizon "by September 25".
Motorola has previously told us to expect the successor to the original Moto X to arrive in "late summer", and this is close enough - as summer officially ends on September 22. And the "by" in the release wording above could potentially mean that it might be out a little while before September 25 too.

And let's not forget that other carriers are expected to sell the Moto X+1 as well, so one of those may have it for sale before Verizon manages to.
There's nothing new to report on the front of a release date for the Moto 360 smartwatch, though. Obviously it could be launched alongside the Moto X+1, but this rumor doesn't say anything about that.
The specs are Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 chipset (with a 2.5 GHz quad-core CPU) confirmed along with 2GB of RAM.
Earlier reports and different mumblings also had it coming with a 5.1" or 5.2" touchscreen with 1080p resolution, a 12 MP rear camera, and a 2900 mAh battery.

Sony rolling out KitKat for Xperia E1 and E1 dual

Sony is delivering on its promise to deliver KitKat to the Xperia E1 and Xperia E1 Dual. The update is rolling out now though there might be delays varying by market and carrier. Go to Check for updates in the About screen of the settings on your phone to see if you're among the first to get it.

The update boasts performance enhancements that stem from Android 4.4 KitKat. Other than that the changes are similar to what the Xperia T2 Ultra got, including a tweaked status bar and quick toggles. The custom Sony apps like the Walkman music player, Stamina Mode and others have been updated too.
Despite Google's changes to KitKat, Sony has enabled moving apps to the external microSD card in case the 4GB of built-in storage starts to run low.
Another change is the inclusion of PlayStation 4 like boot animation and live wallpaper. You can change up the look with Xperia Themes.
The Xperia M2 and Xperia M2 dual are next in line to receive KitKat.
