Moto X, the new Android-based smartphone from Motorola, will arrive on shelves in late August / early September at $199 (€150) on contract in the United States ($249 / €188 for the 32GB model), and is said to be priced at $575 (€435) if purchased contract-free.

According to AndroidCommunity, the info on the handset’s full retail pricing comes from AT&T, one of the carriers that will have the device available for its customers.

Considering the various range of customizations that the device will offer (although they will be available only for the AT&T flavor in the beginning), the price does not seem to be a high one.

However, it seems that Motorola is also considering the launch of a cheaper Moto X model, at least this is what Motorola CEO Dennis Woodside has told CNet. The phone will be aimed mainly at markets where users purchase phones without subsidies, but no further info on its release has been provided.
