Motorola MA560 Review

Quote from the review:

“One of the most overlooked consumer electronics out there are home phones. We use our home phones everyday yet, there are very few resources out there which help us make a wise purchasing decision when it comes to these items. Up until now, Consumer Reports has been probably the only place where you can find reviews on home phones. We have decided to start broadening our coverage here at Designtechnica to include home office corded phones and cordless phones. Kicking off this series of reviews will be Motorola’s new MA560 5.8GHz cordless phone and answering machine, which was just recently announced.

Motorola’s MA560 cordless phone and digital answering machine, is part of Motorola’s second generation of 5.8GHz cordless phones. While its design may resemble the first generation product line, there have been several improvements to enhance performance and features. As of this review, we were unable to find this phone on the net for purchase, but our best guess would put the price of the MA560 around $70 price range.”

Motorola is doing something big on June 25

Motorola has announced its next big event, which will take place on June 25, 2024. With the sayings “Flip the script” and “Intelligence inside and out,” we can safely assume the event will showcase the next Razr lineup and some AI features.

In its post on X (formerly Twitter), Motorola simply teases that its next event is coming next week. Again, the slogan for this is “Flip the script,” so it’s pretty much guaranteed that we are going to see the Razr 2024 and Razr Plus 2024, as those devices are teased in the clip, too.

Motorola has introduced a surprise smartphone tailored for budget-conscious shoppers. The Moto E14 is debuting in the U.K. and Europe; we don't expect to see a U.S. launch.

The Moto E14 is a simple device priced at 70 British pounds (about $88). It features a Unisoc chipset, the same one found on its predecessor, the Moto E13. The Moto E14 has 2GB of RAM and is limited to Android 14 Go Edition, a lightweight version of Android.

The Motorola Razr just got some tough competition
Honor Magic V Flip cover display.

Honor has launched its very first foldable clamshell phone in China in the form of the Honor Magic V Flip. Though Honor has already been an established player in the foldable market with the Magic V series, this is the brand’s first flip phone, which joins the likes of Motorola Razr Plus, Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5, Oppo Find N3, and more.

The Honor Magic V Flip is quite an impressive flip phone. It appears to be ahead of the competition with the large 4-inch cover display, which is the largest we’ve seen yet, and it provides a unique dual-screen experience.
