Motorola "X" Phone

[Aquila]

Moto said that the rumored unannounced and unconfirmed phone is coming out this summer?

Yes - sorta. In their official press release about it they said, "Today at the AllThingsD conference Dennis Woodside revealed how we are reinventing Motorola through a portfolio of products starting with Moto X, a new flagship smartphone that will be designed, engineered and assembled in the USA. We?re not talking about just a handful of units either -- available this summer, every Moto X sold in the USA will be assembled in Fort Worth, Texas, making it the first smartphone ever assembled domestically...."

So when are they hiring again?

End of summer likely. Isn't this when Motorola usually did refreshes? (summer and fall?)

I think its time for more information to be leaked. I am getting antsy...

Moto X seems to be a very intriguing device.

The rumored porsche like customization is very appealing to me even if it were to be only cosmetic. Then Motorola talking improving battery life more than making battery bigger but how it's designed. Speaking on design the Moto X may adopt the edge to edge design on sceen buttons which I prefer. Lastly this all might run on stock android and sold through the play store may be the stock andoid phone I been waiting for.

I've been struggling with my DROID X waiting for this device to finally be released/announced....so I couldn't agree more.

Motorola moto x: 1.7GHz dual-core MSM8960 Pro, 720p, 2GB/16GB, 10MP/2MP, Android 4.2.2

So what do you think? Mid-level processor specs and screen. Not sure about the size of the screen.

At first glance other than the camera and possibly the extra sensor stuff, seems like the Nexus 4 is a better device. Will have to see what the total package looks like though; if anything in the last couple of years a lot of devices have shown us that the spec sheet isn't the end all of the experience.. still, if they're going low to lower costs, I think that's a mistake. I definitely still want to see and play with it before choosing between in and the Nexus 5.

Also still VERY curious about battery life.

I hope this is one of two devices and the other is similar to the S4. At those specs they might could sell it at $199-250 unlocked.

This is where I'm at too. For sure my next phone will be purchased off-contract, and since Google seems to be the only one offering high-end phones at great prices (read N4 at $350), it seems I'll be buying my next phone from the play store, and I'm totally fie with that! However, I'm not sacrificing flagship-status specs for a good price, so if this MotoX, or some "hero" variant of it, isn't competitive with HTC and Sammy, then I'll be waiting for the N5, which I imagine will be an improvement of the already amazing Nexus 4.

I'd be disappointed if those were the final specs. Other then the camera I'd say the N4 is a much better phone and a great value. I'm wondering what the N5 specs will be.

I think that the first phone Motorola outs will certainly be a mid ranger. It was indeed eluded that we will be seeing multiple releases up until October, so I wouldn't give up on them until then at least. It'll be well timed since that's normally close to nexus release time too.

Right, it would take a lot of marketing and/or software features to make people overlook a spec sheet comparison and I think they know that.

 

[effreyj]

Gee I'm glad I went with the GS4 instead of waiting for this device...

They seem to read blogs and I expect they do know this. The spotlight is on them and they know what should be done, it will be their fault if they fail to reach #2-3.

Motorola XT1055 makes it's way through the FCC. Is it another X FON? - Android Authority

This article seems to support the speculation that there are more than one X devices... which is weird, because that's exactly what Motorola said too.

 

[Clocks]

I'd be happy with mid-tier if there is a good price to match it. I'd never spend $699 on a cell phone off contract. But $299-$349 would be tolerable in-between 2 year upgrades. The specs make it a small bump over the US GS3, and I'm itching to try something new.

 

[ncvikingx97]

Although it isn't as good spec wise as the nexus 4, maybe it isn't trying to be. As sometime who doesn't want to pay the premium some of these unlocked phones cost (not nexus 4), I would be really interested in trying out the unlocked way if this phone is prices at 200-275.
