Lenovo teases what it has in store for IFA 2016, includes new MotoMods, tablets and ‘intuitive keyboard’

With IFA 2016 almost upon us and the Lenovo press launch happening on August 31^st, Lenovo isn’t wasting any time showing what it has up its sleeves for the coming season. The teaser video above shows things like Yoga laptops, tablets, the Moto 360, and even flexible smartphones and tablets they showed off at Lenovo Tech World earlier this year. But some of the new things it called out in the video include the new MotoMods, which perhaps will get market release dates at this point; “new chapter in tablets;” and a “whole new kind of intuitive keyboard.”

Hasselblad rumoured to be developing MotoMod

Leaks of upcoming MotoMods have been spotted in the wild before. Now though there are more leaked information spotted on Chinese microblogging site Weibo about an upcoming MotoMod designed to boost the camera capabilities of the Moto Z and Moto Z Force. This module is being dubbed the “True Zoom Camera” and is supposedly made by Hasselblad. If true, it won’t be news that a reputed camera maker is working with a tech company. Huawei has gotten to work with Leica for its P9 smartphones.

This leaked image of the supposed Hasselblad-made MotoMod is said to have a 10x optical zoom, physical shutter, Xenon flash, automatic button, and a RAW format option. There is no word on megapixel count and size as well as the other information you might be seeking. For now, let’s just take this with a huge grain of salt and wait for Lenovo to confirm or deny the information.
