Motorola's X phone is one of the hottest rumors in Industry right now.

Here are some rumored Spec which could be believed to take it as pinch of salt.

Snapdragon 800 chipset
4.7" 1280 x 768 resolution display [resolution couldn't agree]
4000 mAh unit
IP57 certified
Gorilla Glass 3


Here is a render

since we have already seen edge to edge display from moto, I guess the render might show up real.

What I read is, N5 will be from LG and X from Moto.

@theserpent and aroraanant: Motorola Mobility not closing India operations.

Moto brought more good innovations and designs/ features to us than any other mobile company. But they were poor in marketing and more importantly after sales server which led to their downfall. I hope they bounce back well, IF and When they resume India operations.

Snapdragon 800 :eek: recently leaked antutu scores were pretty low thought something affordable along with the lines of nexus was on the cards

2 things
definitely can't be snapdragon s800.... (S800<s600??)

If u get 4000mah battery with all da features for 300$ or so I guess worth it

^+1.. Infact it can't be Krait/A15 at all..
Could be a very low end Motorola phone which Google is testing with KLP..

This is not a Nexus for sure..

Yes I know it's not a NEXUS. And I pretty much know that N5 will be from LG. Why PlayStore - Cause it MOTO(acquired by GOOGLE). If not from play store will it be even available in INDIA.

Acquired by Google so may be future nexus but current phones ll be stock android that's the advantage. OS updates ll be real quick like nexus phones.

Motorola X Phone.
From the pic:
1) The man resembles X. The woman 1 (so X1? or X One?)
2) Also they are jumping into the water, could mean water resistance
3) If 2) is true, then also dust resistance (IP57/58)

Moto already uses Kevlar, and very good chances that this device also features it. light and solid.
Sad that it will not be available in India.

Mmh it also says that "The first phone u can design urself"

Does that mean we can specify the spec for the phone ? That could be amazing :)

Not much info is out so far. But, allegedly, we can choose from as many as 16 panel colours :O and custom engraving, custom default wallpaper (set at factory) among others.

Looks like a phone with 4" display

as for the resolution , i think 720p is great for a 4.7" phone, be it mid range or high end..it crosses 300ppi retina standards so ya, its really good

the excitement behind the launch of moto-x in india is totally lost on me. moto has never ever taken india seriously........google has only now begun to sell nexus series..........that too not available on major electronics showrooms.

i really can't see this coming to india........and even if it does it will be overpriced like Blackberry z10. I would much rather buy a s4 or xperia-z ultra then this.

^^ I did expect this as manufacturing in US certainly has its additional costs and Moto can't cut much from its margin. But Moto, as far as I understand, is now targeting Apple by making Moto X perform and deliver as much as the device can, putting user experience ahead of specs. We can only wait and see how this turns out for Moto, but they are certainly toying with Americans' patriotic sentiments by manufacturing in USA and claiming out loudly so.
