Moto G2 appears in leaked photos, shows off removable battery cover, dual-SIM slots, and more
We’ve heard enough of the Motorola Moto G2 in recent weeks to know that it’s a thing. Whether it was in Motorola’s official promo materials for their Sept. 4th event, or the front housing now available for sale in China — the next generation Moto G is coming whether you’re ready or not. Providing our very first look at the upcoming phone is HelloMotoHK, the same Facebook page we’ve seen spill the deets in leaks past.
The phone looks pretty much exactly as you’d expect. Motorola doesn’t seem to be venturing too far from their current design language with their 2014 handsets, and we’re cool with that. The photos of this particular handset show the battery cover removed, exposing the dual-SIM and a micro SD expansion slots, along with a non-removable battery. Really, not many surprises here, but once again we’re seeing that now familiar front facing speaker setup (likely mono audio from the bottom speaker).
We will note how extremely large the phone appears in one of the shots, but without a banana for scale or anything like that, it’s entirely possible the photographer could merely have extremely small phalanges. With myself and Rob Jackson attending the Motorola event next week, we wont have to wait too much longer before we get our grubby hands on the device. Stay tuned.

New Game: Madden NFL Mobile launches for Android just in time for Madden Season
In case you haven’t heard, Madden Season has officially begun. EA Sports has just dropped this year’s edition of the football game that sends folks in a tizzy, and they’re looking to provide a mobile option for those who want to get some action on the go. Madden NFL Mobile is basically a mini, simplified version of Madden Ultimate Team, a mode where you collect player cards from packs and use them to build a team of superstars.
This game lets you take that team into quick head-to-head matches, use them for challenges and games against friends, or play a full 16-game season where you try to make it to the Super Bowl. Madden NFL Mobile features a simplified control scheme with a long analog stick alongside a single “skill move” button that lets you perform the jukes and spins you need to take the ball down the field.
The game features in-app purchases for those who don’t want to deal with the grind for gold coins, though there’s plenty of ways to earn players and packs without having to spend a dime. The app clocks in at an initial download of 167MB, so be sure to give it a go from Google Play right here if you’re anxious to hit the gridiron.
