The report also indicates that the company will move away from specialised mods to more mainstream mods that will result in profitability. This comes almost a day after prolific leaker Evan Blass posted images about Motorola’s unreleased ‘Virtual Viewer’ mod which will be more like a Daydream headset then a mode. The leak had no additional details other than the image.
