Motorola is holding a media event in Chicago on 4 September, where it is widely expected to announce new versions of the Moto X and Moto G smartphones, as well as provide more details on the upc,ong Moto 360 smartwatch.

The event takes place on the same day as the IFA technology trade show in Berlin, where Samsung, Sony, LG, Huawei and others are expected to reveal new smartphones, tablets and wearable devices.

The invitation doesn’t explicitly say what the event will feature, but includes sketches of two phones with X and G written on them, along with a watch - these of course are thought to second-generation Moto X and Moto G handsets, and the Moto 360 watch.

Critics praised both the Moto G and Moto X for offering quality hardware and unmodified versions of Android on a budget, both at the mid-range and high-end of the smartphone market.

Specifications claiming to be for the Moot G2 leaked last week and point towards a 5-inch screen, up from 4,5in on the current Moto G, and an improved camera, up from five to eight megapixels.
