14 DAY TRIAL // On May 13, mobile phone maker Motorola should make official a new, affordable device, and it seems that it might be announced as a successor for the Moto X.
Some of the previous reports on the matter suggested that the company was planning on announcing the device as Moto X+1, and confirmation on the matter has already emerged.
Those of you who will head over to the Moto Maker website will see a Moto X+1 page available there, though the device is not visible as of now.
The page is merely a placeholder for the time being, though it is good enough to confirm that the phone will arrive on shelves under this name.
However, as PhoneArena notes, the phone appears on Motorola’s website when replacing the Moto X codename (FLEXR1) in the page’s link with FLEXR2.
There’s no telling what the new device might have to offer to its users in terms of hardware specs and capabilities, but we can certainly expect some enhancements to be included in it.
Some of the previous reports on the device did unveil supposedly leaked details on the handset’s specs, but no official confirmation on the matter has been provided so far.
Rumor has it that the upcoming mobile phone will feature a 5.2-inch touchscreen display, and that it will also be able to provide users with a full HD resolution, ibtimes reports.
Moreover, the handset is said to feature a 2.3GHz quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor inside, along with 2GB of RAM. It will also pack 32GB of internal memory, though a 16GB version might also be offered, the same as it has happened with the Moto X before it.
On the back, the upcoming smartphone is expected to feature a 12-megapixel camera with support for full HD video recording. It might also sport a 2MP front camera, the same as its predecessor.
Moreover, Moto X+1 is said to pack a larger, 2600mAh battery inside, and should also provide users with the entire range of customization capabilities that Moto X has to offer at the moment.
Android 4.4.2 KitKat should also be loaded on top of this handset, with no or very few customizations. Moto X and Moto G have been already praised for their near-stock Android experience, and Motorola should continue offering devices in the series with the same functionality.
Provided that Motorola should indeed make the smartphone official in mid-May, we might see it landing on shelves soon after, so stay tuned for more details on it.
