14 DAY TRIAL // Motorola is probably going to reveal the complete list of features for the hyped and beautiful Moto 360 smartwatch this week at the Google I/O conference.
Even if the device has appeared in leaks here and there, some information related to the new wearable still continues to elude us. Recent word on the street has it that the Moto 360 will employ wireless charging, and now a new FCC filing confirms this information, as spotted by Liliputing.
Apart from this aspect, the filing doesn't shed any more light on the capabilities of the Moto, but at least we know the device will work in concert with a wireless charger.
The FCC documents reveal that the charger plays nice with a special AC/DC adapter that plugs directly into the microUSB port. The device also appears to use the think Qi wireless protocol.
Anyway, the Motorola smartwatch is one of the most awaited products in the wearable world.
That’s mostly because unlike other major smartwatch players today (see Samsung or LG), the company has decided to make the device round and more akin to what a traditional watch would look like.
Smartwatch adopters have been avidly complaining about the aesthetic features of such products, demanding better looking wrist-bound gadgets. And soon Motorola will respond to these desires with the beautiful Android Wear-equipped Moto 360.
Moving on the Moto 360 will be taking advantage of an OLED color display, which should be bright and colorful, but also super-efficient and thin (that’s because unlike LED, OLED makes its own light).
Furthermore, the watch will arrive with support for voice input and have the ability to display multiple virtual watch faces.
Speaking of which, last month Motorola launched a design contest for watch faces and now the winners have been announced, and you can check out the gallery right here.
Anyway, when it finally reaches the market, the Moto 360 should be offered in a variety of wristband options, and according to what has been vehiculated in the rumor mill, it will sell for around $249 / €183.
For those anxious to know more about the stylish Moto 360, we will be able to tell you more in a few days. Also at the Google I/O event, we expect to see the LG G Watch make an appearance into the wild, alongside Samsung’s Android Wear iteration.
We also expect to hear more about Google’s recently introduced Android Wear platform for wearables.
