Motorola Moto X+1 appears in a new render, might make a surprise appearance at Google I/O today

Where there is smoke there must be fire, and recently there are so many smokey rumors about the Motorola Moto X+1, the successor to Motorola’s customizable Moto X flagship, that we would not be too surprised if it makes an appearance as early as today - at Google I/O.

This latest leak shows the supposed Moto X+1 in what could be a promotional render, and it comes from a ‘reliable’ leaker at 9to5Google.

The most notable new feature of this Moto X+1 seems to be its dual front-facing speakers, similar to the setup used in the HTC One (M8). We’ve earlier seen multiple leaks for this alleged Moto X+1 by @evleaks, confirming the dual-speaker arrangement, but also showing a device with no front camera and no flash light for the main camera. Rumors are that the Moto X+1 could be released under the Motorola Victara codename. All of this is really confusing, though, since it’s hard to imagine a flagship phone with no front camera, and the Moto X+1 seems to have those high ambitions.

We’ll leave all this controversy aside for the moment, though - the most exciting part about this latest rumor is actually a speculation that the Moto X+1 could make its first official appearance at Google I/O today. We would be looking forward for an explanation, and we encourage you to tune in to the Google I/O 2014 livestream here to witness it all for yourselves.
