Moto G8 or Moto G8 Plus set to get triple cameras

We're not expecting to hear about the Moto G8 for a few more months yet, but a new leak has given us a clearer idea of the upgrades we can expect on the upcoming family of affordable handsets.

It's currently unclear if this report from XDA Developers refers to either the Moto G8 or Moto G8 Plus (or perhaps even both), but the website has information from a source suggesting at least one of these phones will have a triple camera array on the rear.

Previously the Moto G7 and Moto G7 Plus both arrived with dual rear cameras, so it may be we see some significant upgrades in terms of smartphone photography if the company opts for three.

Although we have heard it'll be a triple camera, we don't know what specs we can expect on the rear of the phone. We'll have to wait for another report to learn about that.

It's also expected that Motorola will upgrade the chipset used in the Moto G8 Plus to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 655 over the Snapdragon 636 that was used in the last-gen device.

That's a significantly more powerful processor rumored for the G8 Plus, and while it won't be able to compete with top-end handsets it may mean we see a power boost on the Motorola range of phones.

We're not currently expecting to hear from Motorola on a new range of cheap handsets until 2020, but we'll keep you posted with any new information as we have it.

The future of Magic Leap's promising AR efforts dim after layoffs

The Magic Leap Two is now further away than ever, unfortunately. Today in a blog post the augmented reality pioneer announced major layoffs and has decided to cut up to half of its workforce, according to some reports. The original Magic Leap One was supposed to be one of the first mainstream augmented reality headsets when it launched in 2018, but a high price point and lack of interest from developers left the headset high and dry after launch. According to the blog post, Magic Leap says it will be focusing its efforts on enterprise solutions (a statement HTC has made recently as well) and shift its focus away from consumer technology… at least for the time being.  The company has been open about creating a second headset that would offer improved specs for some time, but how that work will now have to go forward without half of the team , according to some estimates, remains to be seen. Is the window closing on augmented reality?  Although it’s just one company, Magic...

Airship acquires SMS commerce company ReplyBuy

Airship is announcing that it has acquired mobile commerce startup ReplyBuy . The startup (which was a finalist at TechCrunch’s 1st and Future competition in 2016) works with customers like entertainment venues and professional and college sports teams to send messages and sell tickets to fans via SMS. It raised $4 million in funding from Sand Hill Angels, Kosinski Ventures, SEAG Ventures, Enspire Capital, MRTNZ Ventures and others, according to Crunchbase . Airship, meanwhile, has been expanding its platform beyond push notifications to cover customer communication across SMS, email, mobile wallets and more.

He also suggested that both the COVID-19 pandem...
