I wouldn’t really say that information about the upcoming Galaxy Note 7 is even being “leaked” anymore — at this point, info is basically pouring. Following the details we told you about in our report yesterday, renowned leakster Onleaks is now out to corroborate much of what we’ve already heard about the device’s full specifications as well as share some really nice high-res renders of the phablet from every angle and info about the new Gear VR…

The Note 7 leaks are streaming in faster than ever as the Korean company’s August 2nd event approaches, and the latest include even more glimpses of the flat non-edge version of the Note 7.

Now this one’s a doozy. Sometimes you just can’t get clear and concise statements from a company about a product’s features, and the latest is about whether or not Motorola/Lenovo will commit to monthly security updates for the Moto Z.

The August 2nd announcement of Samsung’s forthcoming Galaxy Note 7 is right around the corner, and by this point we pretty much know exactly what the phone looks like.

It was the ideal prototype of what an Android OEM should do.
But the Moto X is gone now, and Motorola is now owned by Lenovo. Slowly but surely, we have seen Lenovo make its mark on the Moto phones of years previous, and this year things took another step in a new direction. Lenovo skipped over Y and has now launched the Moto Z, and deserving of its new name the device is indeed.
