Motorola Unveils Moto X Smartphone

Google is trying to make its purchase of Motorola worthwhile by announcing a smartphone to dominate the smartphone market. Dubbed the Moto X, it has these specs:

  • 4.7-inch 720p AMOLED Display
  • Motorola X8 Computing System
  • Snapdragon S4 Pro processor, 1.7Ghz dual-core Krait CPU and quad-core Adreno 320 GPU.
  • 2GB of RAM, 16GB of storage
  • 10-megapixel rear camera
  • 2,200mAh battery that has up to 24 hours of battery life
  • Touchless Control via Google Now integration. It has a dedicated processor that listens for voice commands while preserving battery life. This feature allows users to obtain weather information, directions, and more with hands-free controls.
  • Multiple customization options
  • Unique camera controls including a unique “Quick Capture” camera functionality. You open the camera app with a wrist flick. Once open, a picture can be snapped by touching anywhere on the screen.

This phone is coming late August or early September to all major US carriers for $199 on a two year contract.
