Moto X 2 rumors? Any info on the next big thing?

[zobog]

I have lost all interest in other phone brands. I would like to know what the folks at Moto got up there sleeve.

They seem to have the most innovation and guts to try something new. From features to architecture.

I wonder what it will be coming next?

Probably too early to tell.

The consumer focus is on launching the current X and G, expanding availability for both. New backs via Motomaker on the current X are a possibility. Wouldn't surprise me to see new shells for the G.

Same here. It sucks that they released the X towards the end of the year last year because now that its a new year Im expecting some info on their new device already lol.
I did find this though, but like Ry said it may be too early to tell

My wife and I are still clinging to our Samsung Galaxy Nexus phones with Verizon. With unlimited data, I just do not want to go through an upgrade right now, even though we've had these phones for over two years now.

I'd love to hold out for whatever the next iteration of the Moto X is, as the current one seems to be very popular. But there is just nothing out there right now, save for that article posted above about possible future customization of screen size.

One thing that would be great, as far as customization goes, is choosing a better camera. People like my wife are tempted to go to the Iphone because of the quality of the photos that they take, but they are less interested in other specs. Could Moto go as far as offering a different camera sensor options - I mean, wouldn't some people be willing to pay an extra $50 for a better camera sensor, or would that just be too much?

**** Just re read the article and he does mention camera customization. Overlooked that.

Are you looking for larger screens?

You should jump at the moto x discounts. At least get some 16 GB standard models. 1000 times better than the GNEX. I can't believe how much better the Moto X is.
IMO the Moto X is the best smartphone out there. I went from the GNEX to the S3 to the Droid RAZR HD Dev to the S4 to the Moto X.
Nothing compares the X for overall experience.

We may go with the Moto X, but it is already 6 months old at this point. I know that isn't a terribly long time, but we tend to hang on to the same phone for a couple of years.

This is why the Moto X will probably feel the same performance-wise throughout it's entire lifecycle: AnandTech | Moto X Review

I think the X is going to be a phone that can easily run over 2 years.

Moto is going to have no problem with stock Android and ART enabled. I'll continue to use till the Moto X2 come out or a Nexus that have touchless control.

This part of Motorola that was working in that project I believe was transferred to Google with the sale of Motorola so it's in Google's court now I think.

I absolutely believe all these companies are doing the best they possibly can with cameras. If Motorola were capable of delivering a better camera, they would ship it on the mainstream model. Same with Google on the Nexus, HTC etc. They'd be crazy to hold it back as an option.

No, it could be better, they lack the budget and or expertise to create better software for it. Sony provide camera sensors for most of the high end smartphones, including Apple, its up to the companies to make best use of them.

Yes, they lack the expertise, that is my position. It's not just a matter of purchasing a superior part.

Yup. The Project Ara team will stay with Google.

Is there a way to swap out the backs yourself? I have a slate black but the wood backs are pretty nice looking.

The backs on the X can be swapped but the process isn't as clean at the Moto G. Sites like iFixIt have teardown guides.

Sweet. So then how do I purchase just the individual backs?
