US: Moto X Pure Edition (aka Moto X Style) Release Date Rumors

[Anthony Gray2]

3rd was never the day. 2nd was the day, but it's not anymore. Think unlucky numbers to get lucky.

Based on that cryptic statement, I'm gonna go ahead and put my money on a 9/11 release.

Or the 13th.

Or the 13th.

I know its possible, but a Sunday release just sounds weird.

 

[Demi9OD]

Or the 4th.

Re: Release this week instead of next week?

Play has FM radio, but not Pure Style? Seems counterintuitive that the more premium phone has no FM, can't replace battery and 630mah smaller battery on a bigger higher res display.

Edit:
Not getting Moto's logic here other than two separate non collaborating product teams.

Wild that if the Moto X Style was carried by AT&T, they'd ask Motorola to enable the FM radio. I do doubt that the Pure Edition would have it enabled.

But Play and Style both don't have user-replaceable batteries.

I'm sure these teams collaborated. The Play and the Style are meant for different price points - with the Style at the higher point so it gets the higher processor, bigger screen with larger resolution, dual-speakers, more "premium" materials.

Also, there may be some markets where the Play will be the high-end Motorola.

I'm just going to go with September 13th based in Happyasian's post. Hopefully will hear something definitive this week during IFA on a release date. My money is ready.

Re: Release this week instead of next week?

A link here or Android Central somewhere had a snapshot of asking Motorola customer support and the reply was no FM radio. No FM on the G4 that also has the 808.

Seems the Moto Play and Pure should have a baby that has the best features of both.

Daaaamn. That might actually be a deal-breaker for me. I listen to FM sports radio a LOT on my phone and I'm not interested in using data to listen to FM. :-( I hope that this is somehow untrue.

What phone do you have now?

Right now, I'm using a Lumia 640. I was hoping to move on to the upcoming Lumia flagships (because I actually like WP), but the Moto X Style just seems like unbeatable value

Re: Release this week instead of next week?

Those who love Apple have no problems with the price point of the iPhones, so another Android phone that is $200+ less than a comparable iphone 6s will have zero impact on their buying habits. (My 2 cents) The only marketable differentiation that the X-Pure has over Apple, LG or Samsung is the external customization via Motomaker. I think iPhone users care very little about bamboo or leather backs as every iPhone I've seen in the wild is dutifully put in a case by their owner.

That's cause if you breathe on 'em they BREAK!

I hope they release this thing early September. I'm ready to get my hands on this phone.

While I'm all for this being true in regards to the 3rd, I don't think it will happen.

I'm with you. This site is probably just regurgitating the Sept. 3rd date from other tech sites.

 

[lewwill]

You may be right but I think Neurogadget is at least as credible as the cracked crystal balls used in the last several pages here. Does anyone have a link from a credible site to support their speculation?

 

[happasaiyan]

Or the 13th.
