Google Moto X Phone Specs, Release Date and Price

Long awaited Google Moto X phone is coming out from Motorola, surrounding a lot of rumors around new Motorola X Specs and Features.

Moto X Phone Launch is also getting special attention, for it is the first major event, since Google took over Motorola, back in 2011.

New Moto X 2013 is expected to have something special on account of software features, instead of focusing much on hardware specification to be a powerhouse like HTC One, Samsung Galaxy S4, Samsung Note 3, Apple iPhone 6 or Google 's own LG Nexus 5.

Google Moto X Specs features a 4.7 inches display screen with 1280x768p resolution, powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor.

The Moto X ad campaign that launched this week has attracted the interest of both the customers and the tech publication. Google is marketing its upcoming Motorola Android device as the smartphone that "You Can Design Yourself". Moto X news sign up page says:

The first smartphone designed, engineered and assembled in the USA is coming. It’s also the first smartphone that you can design yourself. Because today you should have the freedom to design the things in your life to be as unique as you are.

Although there are no official details available yet, it is expected that consumers will be able to design their own case, using something like a basic Google Nexus 4 as an outline.

Motorola X Rumors

There have been a number of rumors and speculations about the new X smartphone which will be produced jointly by Motorola and Google.

A leaked ad campaign from design company B.A. Bäkken has emerged online suggesting that August 1 will see the world say 'Goodbye Moto' to the old style handsets.

A subsequent leak from the same company shows a contrasting campaign saying 'Hello again' to the new generation of devices which may be spearheaded by the Moto X, though an accompanying picture looks distinctly like an older Razr model.

Rumors suggest that the phone will sport an edge-to-edge full HD display, a very rugged and unbreakable built with a long-lasting battery. Furthermore, it is also suggested that Google has implemented a touch-sensitive button in the Motorola logo at the back of the device. The touch-sensitive button at the back is somewhat similar to the Motorola Backflip phone, which was released in January 2010.

A Motorola official leaked that the new Moto X Phone software will be as bloatware-free as possible, therefore we should expect the Moto X phone pre-loaded with Vanilla Android.

Meanwhile, another rumor is that the phone will be the first smartphone to run the latest Android 5.0 (Key Lime Pie) operating system. Here is Moto X Rumors round up video by TechRadar:
