Motorola updates Moto G in the UK with 4G and a micro SD slot, priced at 149 GBP unlocked

Moto G LTE

Moments after launching the Motorola Moto E in India, stirring up the mobile market once again is the launch of the newly updated Moto G in the UK, with 4G LTE and a micro SD slot. Two of the biggest complaints regarding the Moto G have been literally decimated with this updated model of an already successful device. This device, launched in the UK, caters to the newly upgraded networks in the country and the addition of expandable storage is just icing on the cake. The Moto G for the Indian market comes without 4G or a micro SD slot, but we certainly feel it could have launched with the latter, as 4G is still in its very early stages here. Priced at US$219 / 149 GBP, it is a bit costlier than before, but is still well within the budget of many, especially with LTE.

Twitter officially rolls out mute button on Web, Android and iOS

Twitter had announced earlier this month that is experimenting with a new feature that will let users mute accounts of people they follow. Today, the microblogging site has officially launched the update to its Web client along with Android and iOS apps. Instead of taking a drastic step and unfollow a certain person completely on Twitter, users can now simply mute the tweets from them.

twitter mute feature

In the same way you can turn on device notifications so you never miss a tweet from your favorite users, you can now mute users you’d like to hear from less. Muting a user on Twitter means their tweets and retweets will no longer be visible in your home timeline, and you will no longer receive push or SMS notifications from that user.

wrote Twitter in a company blog post.

Another good thing about the feature is that the user’s account which you are muting will not know that they have been muted, so you are safe. However, the muted user can still reply, retweet and favourite your tweets. The feature is part of Twitter’s overall strategy to make its service more accessible to a wider range of people. It will roll out the feature to its more than 255 million monthly users over the coming weeks.
