Motorola, Verizon to Show Off New Droids at New York Event October 27

Verizon plans to introduce the next generation of Motorola-made Droid phones at an event in New York on Oct. 27.

“Everything you expect from a phone will change,” the companies said in an invitation sent to journalists on Wednesday.

For the most part, Motorola has stopped making carrier-specific devices, focusing on its Moto X, Moto G and Moto E product lines. The Droid line for Verizon is the noteworthy exception, where the company continues to crank out new exclusive models.

Motorola and Verizon have a long history, with Moto having made the carrier’s Droid-branded phones for years now. (At one point Verizon used the Droid brand for Android devices from other makers, too.)

While many flagship phones debuted earlier this fall, Motorola isn’t the only one introducing new devices in the coming weeks. HTC is set to launch its first Marshmallow-based Android device next week.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?

Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple reasons that we can't rely only on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on.

First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.

Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. We can’t do that if we have a paywall.

That’s why we also turn to you, our readers, to help us keep Vox free. If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today?
