Alleged images of color back covers for Moto X leak

Hot on the heels of yesterday's high-profile print ad, alleged images of back covers for the upcoming Moto X made the rounds. The blurry photos showcase a quartet of back panels in teal, red, purple, and green.

The back covers in the photos above appear to fall in line with previously leaked images. Reportedly, there will be sixteen different colors to choose from when the Moto X goes official.

Furthermore, a fresh report has emerged, shedding light on the customization options which will be available for the device. Apparently, customers will be able to choose the Moto X's color and trim themselves. An option to engrave the smartphone will also be available. Contrary to previous reports, the smartphone's internals will not be subject to change.

An option for customers to upload a photo which will be used as a default wallpaper is also rumored. It will only be available for Moto X smartphones, ordered through the Google Play Store. Carrier versions won't get the same treatment.

The Moto X is firmly tipped as a mid-range device. Considering the constantly growing buzz surrounding the smartphone, we reckon its launch isn't too far away.

BlackBerry 10.2 to bring Wi-Fi Direct, notification actions

BlackBerry 10.2 OS update was confirmed for later this year by BlackBerry’s Product Manager Michael Clewley. He has also revealed some of the new upcoming features such as standard Unicode emojis, multiple alarms, reminders and level 1 notifications.

A bunch of screenshots coming from a pre-release version of the BlackBerry 10.2 lets us get an even better idea of the new features. It seems the update will also bring quick actions to the notifications. You will be able to respond to a message straight from the notification area, for example.

Another new feature is the Wi-Fi Direct support. This would allow you to share content via Wi-Fi without the need of a router.

We bet BlackBerry will add even more features before the update hits the supported devices later this year. It certainly should if it is to have any chance of dealing with the financial troubles.

Blues clues (credit: NowhereElse.fr)

We know you were just screaming, "But what about blue??" when leaked photos showing alleged green, yellow and red cheap iPhone models appeared earlier this week.

Calm down, as now comes word (or sight) that Apple may be planning to have a blue budget iPhone join the low-cost trio, as the latest snaps from a Chinese factory seem to indicate.

What appears to be a half-assembled iPhone blue shell has been photographed alongside the three previously leaked of colors and a white version, according to French site Nowhere Else.

With the pigments popping up left and right, we wouldn't be surprised if we soon see a fuchsia, burnt orange and taupe model soon.
