This Week in the Life of DROID: 8/8/2014

Bon voyage to yet another week here at DL, as we coast ever-so-smoothly into yet another weekend. It was a busy week here, though, with Samsung confirming the unveiling date for the Galaxy Note 4 and Google releasing a new build of the Android L developer preview.

To our delight, our favorite upcoming smartwatch, the Moto 360, saw a massive leak a few days ago. With the leak, we learned that the smartwatch will for sure feature wireless charging, possible 2.5 day battery life, as well as a IP67 rating (water and dust resistance).

It was a very busy week, so if you missed anything at all, take a look at the highlights below.
