Highlights: Renders of Motorola P40 Power leaked online. The smartphone is seen featuring a triple rear camera setup and a punch hole display design. Initially, the phone was considered to be the Motorola G8. Motorola announced its P30 Power smartphone in September last year and is expected to soon launch a follow up to the phone. While there's no official confirmation of the device's existence, a new video render of it has surfaced online, courtesy of @OnLeaks. It reveals the upcoming device’s design, its external features and some info of its internal components. First off, the phone was said to be the successor to Motorola's G series of handsets and was said to be called the Moto G8. However, @OnLeaks says that it might as well be the Motorola P40 Pro, which could also be called the P40 Note. The device’s renders suggest that the upcoming Motorola smartphone would feature a triple rear-camera setup. This could very well be the case since an upgrade to the phone could entail an updated camera setup. Additionally, the smartphone manufacturer might also integrate a punch hole display on the phone. Which means there will not be a notch but the front camera will be housed in a cut out on the display. The tipster also says that the phone will sport a 6.2-inch display with possibly HD+ resolution. The device is seen with a thin chin that features the Motorola branding.

Expected to debut in the upcoming MG Hector, the solution allows the user to use numerous internet-based features in the car using the car’s 10.4-inch portrait-oriented touchscreen display and its proprietary voice assist system, which is activated by saying “Hello MG”. The iSMART Next Gen Integrated Solution uses an embedded M2M (machine to machine) SIM card inside powered by Airtel, which lets the user download or stream content on the car’s inbuilt apps such as Gaana (for music), AccuWeather (for weather data), and TomTom (for navigation), said Gaurav Gupta, MG Motor India’s Chief Commercial Officer to Digit.in in a private interview. The integrated solution bundled with the MG Hector is Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPV6)-ready. The system will receive over-the-air updates, much like the way smartphones do. MG Motor also has a smartphone app on Android and iOS to control elements inside the car, like air conditioner and sunroof. “The integration of internet with cars opens up a gamut of features that can ensure a seamless and updated ownership experience for MG customers in India. With an embedded SIM card and OTA, the MG Hector promises to do a lot more over time with constantly-expanding capabilities, to create a seamless driving experience, throughout the life of the car,” commented Rajeev Chaba, President and Managing Director of MG Motor India. To supplement the iSMART Next Gen solution, MG Motor has set up a call centre service called Pulse Hub. Using the car’s display or voice control, an MG Hector user should be able to talk to an MG Motor customer assistant to get help while on the road. The solution can also be programmed to call for assistance in case of a road accident. To achieve all of this, MG Motor has tied up with numerous cloud-based solution partners, like Microsoft, Adobe, Cognizant, Unlimit, SAP, Cisco, Nuance, and others. We should be able to get a taste of what the iSMART Next Gen solution can do in real life when it makes its debut in the much-awaited MG Hector, which should be launched in about a month’s time.
