14 DAY TRIAL // Yesterday, we told you that Lenovo was gearing up to release the very first Motorola handset under its banner this summer. We’re not sure what Lenovo plans to unveil in the immediate future, but all our guesses pinpoint towards the third-gen Moto X.
The handset has already leaked with specifications, and today we get to take a look at what the upcoming smartphone will look like. Apparently, the third-gen Moto X showed up in a video, but a little bit in disguise in order to protect the anonymity of the source.
Apart from getting to take a look at the purported wooden version of the third-gen Moto X, we’re once again given some details about the phone’s alleged specifications.
The third-gen Moto X might come in two variants
According to the folks handling the YouTube channel Total Tech, who posted the videos embedded below, the new Moto X comes with a 5.64-inch display with 1,440 x 2,560 pixel resolution. A 5.2-inch variant might also be in the cards.
An unknown Snapdragon processor, which is probably the Snapdragon 810, will pump life into the whole affair, in combination with 3GB of RAM and 21GB of native storage available for the users.
The handset will also take advantage of Stereo speakers, and maybe a USB Type-C port will also be found on board (unconfirmed detail).
Motorola’s third Moto X is poised to be offered in Plastic, Wood or Leather variations, plus an unnamed new material, and it will arrive with Android 5.1.1 pre-installed.
What’s more, the upcoming Moto X might be among the first devices to be updated to Android M. Last year in November, after Google rolled out Android 5.0 Lollipop, the second-gen Moto X was first in line for the upgrade.
Other phones from Motorola are coming later this year
Apart from this flagship model, Motorola is hard at work building other models as well. A third-generation Moto G and a third-generation Moto E might also be in the cards in the upcoming months.
Recently, we saw a Motorola Windows Phone prototype surface online, although a company official revealed that Motorola would continue to focus exclusively on Android , so we shouldn’t expect any Windows Phone devices from Motorola anytime soon.
In other news, the Verizon-bound Clark and Kinzie Motorola handsets have been revealed in a leaked document.
So in the upcoming months, we should see quite a few new Motorola smartphones make it out on the market.
Update: It appears the 5.7 Moto X model will be an Verizon exclusive
