Is this the successor to the Motorola G? Sure looks like it. Actually, from the looks of the retail packaging, it seems that Motorola may not be calling the device the G2 after all. The retail packaging clearly states Moto G, suggesting that Motorola could be using the same name for an updated model of…
It has been suggested that the next iPhone may finally integrate an NFC chip to enable contactless mobile payments, among other things. Alongside that rumor, we’ve also heard that Cook & Co. are preparing to launch their own payments platform and have apparently cornered American Express, MasterCard and Visa over some kind of deal.

According to G4Games, the unit in question will rock Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 615 64-bit chip that packs a total of eight Cortex-A53 cores, four of which are clocked…
