Google’s Daydream and Tango teams are now under the Google VR division

google-daydream-view-7

Google is making a small, but potentially significant, change in its organization, linking two separate teams and putting them under one division. The Daydream team, responsible for the Daydream View VR headset and software, is now working alongside the Tango team, which created the 3D depth sensing camera for smartphones and tablets.

UploadVR confirmed the change while speaking to Johnny Lee, the director of engineering for the Tango team, at a recent press event. Lee stated:

From an organizational standpoint, Tango and Daydream work together. I report directly to Clay Bavor, who reports directly to Sundar Pichai.

Bavor is the Vice President of Virtual Reality for Google, while Sundar Pichai is, of course, the company's CEO. The move indicates that Google wants all of their VR and AR teams under one roof, and that seems to be a sound idea.

Lenovo PHAB2 6

Today just happened to be a big day for both the Daydream and Tango teams. Google confirmed that the Daydream View headset will begin shipping on November 10 in five countries. Meanwhile, the Lenovo Phab 2 Pro, the first ever smartphone with the Tango 3D camera, went on sale for $499.99, with over 35 AR apps developed specifically to use its 3D mapping features for AR experiences.

Bringing both teams under one division would seem to suggest that Google could combine the 3D mapping AR features on the Tango camera with the VR technology available with the Daydream View in a future Google virtual reality product. Indeed, when UploadVR asked Lee if this could happen, he simply replied, "That would be a very good idea."

It's going to be interesting to see how the next generation of Google VR products will benefit from two teams that have worked on different projects that have a number of similarities. Do you think this move means that Google is getting more serious about both VR and AR?

Moto M – new leaked images and specs surface

lenovo motorola logo mwc 2015 5

A Moto M has been making the rounds through the rumor mill for a couple months now. We first heard of the mysterious handset back in August, when we were surprised by its metal uni-body and unusual fingerprint reader location (it's on the back). A month later we got a look at some more intimate images.

What about today? We are starting November with fresh Moto M images and leaked specs coming from Steve Hemmerstoffer. The popular NowhereElseFr editor and OnLeaks superstar has a good track record preceding him, so we would say this is as legit as leaks can get.

The new images showcase the new smartphone surrounded by other Moto products. It does follow the same metal uni-body design we have seen in the past. We can also see the fingerprint reader placed on the back of the handset, a new move for Moto devices, which tend to sport this hardware in the front.

The leak comes with a set of specs that more or less follow previous murmurs. The unit is said to come with a 5.5-inch 1920×1080 display, a 2.2 GHz MediaTek Helio P15 processor, 4 GB of RAM, 32 GB of internal storage, a 13 MP main camera, an 8 MP front shooter and a 3,050 mAh battery.

Though the phone has a seemingly good construction and pretty fair specifications, it also doesn't seem like it should be an over-priced one. It's also important to mention it seems to have a high focus on Asian markets, especially when taking a look at its software, which looks to be far from stock Android.

Regardless, we should be hearing more about this phone in due time. Is it a gadget you would be interested in? It is true a better build quality is something Motorola/Lenovo fans have been asking for. Maybe this is their transitioning handset.

Samsung Gear S3 is already sold out in the UK

screen-shot-2016-11-01-at-16-49-37

Samsung's upcoming Gear S3 frontier and classic are arguably the sexiest smartwatches that Samsung has ever made – they employ the same rotating bezel navigation we saw in the Gear S2 family, but this time around, the Gear S3 frontier and the Gear S3 classic come with a more refined design and richer features. The S3 duo's launch is imminent: pre-orders went live in Canada mid-October and then in the UK just a few days ago, and it seems like both versions are already sold out in the UK.

Just merely three days ago, we reported that pre-orders for the Gear S3 frontier and classic had gone live in the UK through Samsung's official website. Each retailed for £349 or around $430. And to sweeten the pot, Samsung promised that the first 1,000 folks to pre-order would receive a free pair of Level Active headphones. Well, we are seeing that both models are now out of stock on the website.

Although we don't know when they will be restocked, my guess is it'd be some time after mid-November since pre-ordered units will start shipping November 11 according to Samsung.

Given Gear S3's specs, it's not entirely surprising to see them selling so fast. Both the frontier and the classic come with a 1.3-inch circular AMOLED display (360 x 360), which supports full-color Always on Display, and are powered by Samsung's own Exynos processor. They feature Samsung's now signature rotating bezel, which works in conjunction with Samsung's Tizen OS. Both watches are IP68 certified and support Samsung Pay (both NFC and MST). Inside is the 380 mAh battery, which according to the South Korean company, should give your watch four days worth of battery life.

Are you looking to buy the Gear S3? Which do you prefer: the frontier or the class? Let us know by leaving a comment down below!
