Motorola Hint: Challenging the Bluetooth headset stigma (hands-on)

2014-09-04
this is David at the verge and this is the Motorola hint this is sort of the smallest of the announcements that Motorola had today it's a tiny little Bluetooth headset they don't want to call it a Bluetooth headset because there's all sorts of stigmas with that but it's a bluetooth headset it's made to be super discreet and nice looking it comes in this wood plus a bunch of other materials that are designed to look really really nice in your ear and on one level it's just a Bluetooth headset you put it in your ear you make phone calls you can do voice control on the phone and there's all this cool Motorola assist in Motorola actions and stuff it all work but on the other hand it's kind of extra special for a Bluetooth headset for the one thing it's time for another thing it's super sensitive so it's made to go in your ear just like this and there's a sensor on it that recognizes when it's in your ear and it'll automatically turn on and connect and then as soon as you take it out it'll disconnect and even if you're on a call it will route it straight back to your phone so it's made to be super simple and to basically be worn all day but you can have it come and go as you please so it's a hundred and forty nine dollars it's designed to be used with the new Moto X and the Moto G but it will work with lots of other phones too there's some special stuff with the way that want to ex work that makes it even better for voice actions but the Moto hint is designed as really it's a wearable it's not a Bluetooth headset though it's kind of a bluetooth headset it's going to be a really interesting accessory for the Moto X this year so the hint itself is going to get three and change hours of battery life but it comes with this case which is cool looking and will help you not lose this tiny little thing but it also makes it get triple the battery life so when you put it in it's actually charging you can see from the light here and it gives it about two full charges so in all with this whole package together you're going to get about 10 hours of battery life and that's probably good enough for a full day so the hint is kind of a weird little accessory I'm not sure how many people are going to get into it I kind of like it but we'll see how it does when it comes out with the Moto X it's full
