For those of you waiting for the Motorola Moto X, here is a nice way to start the weekend. A press render of the eagerly awaited handset was leaked and shows that the phone is ready for its expected August 1st introduction. As we told you previously, this is not a Times Square scream it from the sky type of announcement. Motorola will hold five separate sessions with the press and the embargo will expire at 3pm EDT. We will be at one of the sessions and as soon as we can, we will pass along to you the big news.
The different approach to the unveiling suggests how Google and Motorola wants this phone to be seen by the public. It is not a model for the power user who has to have the fastest processor or the phone that scored the highest on the AnTuTu benchmark site. We all know someone like that. If that is what you're after, we should see some nice top-shelf specs coming from the new Motorola DROID Ultra models that are expected to be introduced as soon as Tuesday by Verizon.
The appeal of the Motorola Moto X is to the person who wants to put together a phone (from the outside) that he can call his own with a combination of colors to choose from for the back cover and trim of the device. There could be more than 20 colors to choose from, which could allow for a fairly large number of different color combinations. Remember, the customized version of the phone will be available online only.
For many of you, August 1st can't come soon enough. Until then, feel free to stare at the picture below.
