New Android phones expected in June

Google will release its newest Android-operated smartphones by the end of June, including a debut of its first United States-produced device.

Aimed to be a sophisticated Google-Android combo, the HTC One smartphone will be released on June 26 at US$599.

Google’s first self-produced handset release will follow under the name Moto X.

Equipped with unique technology, Moto X is being manufactured in Texas with imported parts from South Korea and Taiwan.  

Dennis Woodside, head at Motorola Mobility, said: “It is the first smartphone that is going to be built in the United States.”

The plant located near Fort Worth will employ 2,000 people by August.

Moto X users will benefit from the device’s adaptability to conditions or circumstances through built-in gyroscopes and accelerometers.

Woodside explained: “It knows it is in my pocket or out of my pocket, and can anticipate use cases so it knows when I may want to take a picture and fires up the camera.”

He provided a practical example, saying the mobile phone will adjust its behaviour according to the measured speed by which a car is driving.

Google purchased the Motorola unit for US$12.5 billion with a keen interest on its mobile phone line and the company’s 17,000 patents.
