Moto X 2016

[happasaiyan]

You know that suspicious leaked Moto X on that other site? It's the real deal. Basically all the guesses were wrong, though. It does have a fingerprint sensor, it does have front facing speakers, and the holes on the back of the bottom are not a speaker grill...They are electrical contacts... For user-swappable rear modules. Crazy stuff.

Thanks happasaiyan.

Always look forward to your shares. I will have to go back and look at those pictures a bit closer.

Do you have any more information about the swappable backs? Different size batteries? Storage?

 

[Orion78]

What will be the screen size?

 

[happasaiyan]

Different size batteries? Storage?

These are a couple I've heard. I think camera, too, if I recall correctly.

 

[happasaiyan]

What will be the screen size?

I don't know exactly. My guess is 5.5-5.7. It felt roughly the height of the MXP.

Almost Ara-like?

Almost Ara-like?

Much less so, but yeah, kinda.

Is the FPS on the front, back, or side?

Front

Again thanks for the information.

I am definitely intrigued by the new concept and will be happy to see fingerprint sensor (didn't think it would be that much of a deal, but very handy on my wife's phone and if I put work on my phone will need fingerprint sensor - security requirements)

Do you know if the FPS is a physical button or something like the senseID from Qualcomm?

Also does it seem like the phone is further along at this point in time than in previous years?

I didn't think to try to push the fingerprint sensor. I'll let you know if I find out.

Each of the last Moto Xs (since the 2013), the phone I've seen in Feb has been 99% the final product you'll see in September.

Front

Nooooo! Darn that's a shame. Back where the m is or on the right side power button would be much better.

 

[slidesJ]

Yeah, find the FPS placement interesting, since that was the original purpose of the dimple

 

[Ry]

I wonder if the "rear modules" are why the FPS is being tested on the front.

How will the new Moto stack up against the new line of Samsungs? Any reliable specs out there?

Droid Life has a short article about a statement from Lenovo about releasing a new phone in July for the US that is more innovative and more attractive.

The statement is pretty vague, and I know the X is usually Sept. give or take, but might it be released in July? That would be cool, tough to watch all the new phones for other OEMs come out early and wait till the end of the year for Moto

I haven't owned a Moto since the Razr, but i'm going to give them a second look by the end of this year.

Front fingerprint and the modules really really really turn me off. Zero chance of me ever buying or using a module. And that's engineering, space, and cost wasted. Plus rear fingerprint scanners are so wonderful :/

I'll keep as open mind as possible, but it'll be hard to pull me away from the nexus now.

I thought there won't be another moto since lenovo is dropping the Motorola brand.
