Motorola been making dope phones...the Razr Maxx still has the best battery on the market of any phone.

Looks like the cost of this phone will be around the $300-$400 mark off contract. If its closer to the $300, this thing will sell like hot cakes. Trust.

Moto X Price Will Be $299 for the 16 GB Model

As you probably know the Moto X release date is on August 1st, when Motorola will host a press event where the most anticipated smartphone of the moment will be officially introduced. We’ve seen a lot of Moto X leaks hitting the web over the past couple of months, so we know almost everything about the smartphone co-developed by Google and Motorola even though there’s more than a week until its official debut.

Well, today we get to hear about the rumored Moto X price, which made me see it as a replacement for the Nexus 4, by far the most popular smartphone of the Nexus family.

There’s no doubt that price was the biggest selling point of the Nexus 4 and now the rumor mill speculates that the new Motorola handset will have the same price point as the Nexus flagship. The guys at Gizmofusion received word from their sources who confirmed for them that the 16 GB Moto X will have a price of $299 without contract.

It seems that there will also be a 32 GB Moto X which will be $50 or $100 more expensive, having a price of $349 or $399 without contract. Hopefully, Motorola will not charge an extra $100 for 16 GB of storage. If the report is accurate, then we can expect the Moto X to cost as much as $99 when signing a two-year agreement with a carrier.

Of course, we already knew that Motorola wouldn’t ask $600 for a smartphone with mid-range specifications, but so far there were no details about its pricing. Anyway, it will be interesting to watch the smartphone’s sales evolutions, since it will rather be a rival of the iPhone Lite rather than aiming at the iPhone 5S and other high-end Android smartphones.

We are expecting the Moto X to be officially revealed on August 1st and to run Android 4.3 Jelly Bean out of the box, since the Mountain View-based company will reportedly introduce the new Android iteration on July 24th.

In case you are curious, I remind you that rumor mill speculates that the Moto X will sport a 4.7-inch display with HD resolution, while being underpinned by a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro chipset basted on a dual-core 1.5 GHz Krait CPU and Adreno 320 GPU. Besides 2 GB of RAM and 16/32 GB of internal storage, the Moto X will have a 10 megapixel camera mounted on the back, and a recent Motorola teaser tipped that it will come with some sort of blur-free technology.

All the above will be powered by a 2,500 mAh battery which should be capable of keeping the smartphone awake for two days straight, even though it comes with always-on voice controls.

Motorola Droid Ultra Release Date, Specs and Price Officially Revealed

We already knew that Motorola and Verizon will introduce the new generation of Droids, as several leaks of the next-gen Motorola smartphones made the headlines over the past past couple of weeks.

So far, the Motorola smartphones were RAZR devices, while the ones selling through Verizon were called Droid RAZR. Well, the new line-up ditches the RAZR brand, therefore, there will be now called simply, Motorola Droid. The Chicago-based company introduced three new smartphones at the press event in New York, the Droid Mini, the Droid Maxx, and the Droid Ultra. We will talk about the later one.

Even though the Moto X is definitely the most anticipated Motorola smartphone of the year, the Droid Ultra is still an interesting device to own. Let’s have a look at its technical specifications.

First of all, it’s worth mentioning that the Droid Ultra comes with a Kevlar back and has a large edge-to-edge display, while being one of the thinnest smartphones around, with a profile of only 7.18 mm. The Motorola Droid Ultra is 137.5 mm tall, 71.2 mm wide, and has a weight of only 137 grams.

Just like most of the flagship smartphones introduced this year, the Motorola Droid Ultra packs a 5-inch display. The American phone maker didn’t join the screen resolution race (Xperia Z, Galaxy S4, HTC One, and LG Optimus G Pro all come with full HD displays), as its flagship smartphone only sports an HD OLED display with a resolution of 1,280 x 720 pixels.

It’s interesting that while the other big players of the smartphone market fitted quad-core and even octo-core chipsets inside their flagship devices, Motorola employs a dual-core 1.7 GHz processor for the Droid Ultra. Of course the unit underpinning the Droid Ultra is helped by a 400 MHz quad-core GPU, a natural language processor, and contextual computing processor, the latter one being an eight-core Motorola X8 Mobile Computing System unit, meant to improve the battery stamina of the terminal.

The terminal also comes with 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal storage, while sporting a 10 megapixel Clear Pixel camera on the back with f2.4 lens and full HD video recording support. The front-facing camera is a 2 megapixel unit, also capable of full HD video recording, which will be a great tool for video calling.

In terms of connectivity the Motorola Droid Ultra comes with 4G LTE support (Band 4 and 13), quad-band WCDMA and GSM support, WiFi a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0 LE, GPS module, and 3-mic support.

The smartphone is running Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean out of the box which is almost-stock. The software running on the Droid Ultra will come with some Moto-specific features and apps like Droid Command Center, Wireless Display support, voice-based Touchless Control features, Active Display, Droid Zap photo sharing features, and Ingress pre-loaded.

All the aforementioned will be powered by a 2,130 mAh battery.

The Motorola Droid Ultra is already available for pre-order at Verizon, having a price tag of $199 with a two-year agreement. The smartphone comes in three body colors: white, black, and red, and, hopefully, it will also become available for purchase on other markets, as well.

Motorola Droid Maxx Officially Announced: 5-inch HD Display, Kevlar Body, and 3,500 mAh Battery


Just like everyone anticipated Motorola and Verizon has officially unveiled the new Droid line-up. Consisting of three smartphones, the Motorola Droid Ultra, Motorola Droid Maxx, and Motorola Droid Mini, the new portfolio of devices is already up for pre-order at Verizon with prices ranging from $99 to $299.

All three aforementioned smartphones were subjects of leaks over the past couple of weeks, thus we can say we knew almost everything about them even before they were officially introduced by Motorola and Verizon.

As usual, the Motorola Droid Maxx is the battery beast of the line-up, promising an impressive 48 hours of battery life, compared to the 32 hours of the previous generation. That’s just amazing on a market where the smartphones can barely stay awake from morning until night on a single charge.

The Moto Droid Maxx is 137.5 mm tall, 71.2 mm wide, and has a weight of 167 grams. Even though it comes with a battery larger than the one of its predecessor, keeping the same kevlar back, the Motorola Droid Maxx is only 8.5 mm thin. Even though it’s not the thinnest smartphone out there, the 8.5 mm profile is something I could live with considering its impressive battery stamina.

The new smartphone sports a 5-inch display, which has become the standard of the Android high-end smartphone market, but unlike its rivals, the Xperia Z, Galaxy S4, and HTC One, the Droid Max only comes with an HD display with a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels and 294 ppi pixel density.

Motorola Droid Maxx is underpinned by a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4Pro chipset with a dual-core Krait CPU clocked at 1.7 GHz and Adreno 320 GPU. Just like all the new members of the Droid tribe, the Droid Maxx also sports the new eight-core Motorola X8 processor with four graphic processing cores, one for contextual awareness, one for natural language, and two dedicated to application processing.

The Droid Maxx technical specifications list also includes 2 GB of RAM, 16 GB of internal storage, and all the connectivity features worthy of a modern smartphone like EV-DO Rev. A, up to 3.1 Mbps, LTE; HSDPA, 42.2 Mbps; HSUPA, 5.76 Mbps, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, dual-band, Wi-Fi hotspot, DLNA, Bluetooth 4.0 LE, NFC chip, and microUSB 2.0.

The smartphone is running almost-stock Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean out of the box, along with some Moto-specific features like Quick Capture, touchless control, and Droid Command.

Motorola Droid Maxx also comes with a 10 megapixel camera mounted on the back with autofocus, LED flash, Touch focus, geo-tagging, face detection, and full HD video recording support. The front-facing camera is a 2 megapixel unit, which will be the perfect tool for video calls.

Just like its two brothers the Motorola Droid Maxx is available for pre-order at Verizon, priced $299 on a two year contract. The battery beast is $100 more expensive than the Droid Ultra, but I think that the 3,500 mAh battery it’s worth it. The fist Droid Maxx units will be shipped to the customers that pre-ordered them on August 20th.

Yesterday, we went a full day without any Moto X leaks and rumors. Thanks Google! But now that we know everything about the Nexus 7 2013 and Android 4.3, we can go back to normal, so here’s the latest batch of rumors/leaks about world’s worst kept secret.

You may know that Taylor Wimberly, the former owner of Android and Me, has so far provided a fair share of info on the new Moto X that ultimately proved accurate. For instance, he correctly reported that the device would come in multiple colors (though his multiple materials report isn’t confirmed yet) and he also leaked the 8-core processor that Motorola uses on the new Droid series. According to Wimberly, the source of the reports is someone at Motorola, and the info could actually have been leaked on purpose.

Taylor is back with a couple of reports worth mentioning:

Moto Magic Glass: the Moto X will supposedly feature a slab of Gorilla glass molded to a polymer, resulting in a gap-free surface that wraps on the sides of the phone. There’s no gap between the glass-polymer ensemble and the back.
xWATCH/Google smartwatch: remember when we reported exclusively on a smartwatch being in the works at Google? xWATCH might be the codename of the device, and the smartwatch might be launched on August 1 along with the phone. There’s supposedly some sort authentication-related integration between the two devices.
Standalone dual-LTE antennas: Taylor says that the Moto X will feature a standalone dual LTE MIMO antenna, as well as a separate antenna for 2G/3G. Most devices have one antenna for both standards.

We’re less than a week away from the launch of the Moto X, and even with all the leaks and rumors, there still might be some new stuff to discover till then. Stay tuned

Motorola Moto X Specs Officially Revealed

Almost a year after we’ve heard the first rumors about the mysterious X Phone, Motorola’s secret weapon against the big players of the smartphone market, the waiting is over and the fruit of the first collaboration between Google and the Chicago-based phone maker finally saw the light of day. The Moto X and its specs were finally revealed officially.

Just like everyone anticipated, Moto X comes with a new design, having almost nothing in common with Motorola’s design language, bringing the new smartphone closer to the curved lines of the Nexus smartphones. Just like the rumor mill suggested, the Moto X specs recommend it as a mid-range smartphone, but its price places it in the premium segment. The Motorola Moto X is a highly customizable smartphone, with more than 500 design combinations available, which will probably be the smartphone’s selling point.

Moto X is equipped with a 4.7-inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 720 x 1,280 pixels and a pixel density of 316 ppi. Because the Moto X comes with on-screen software buttons, the screen will not feel like a 4.7-inch unit, as Motorola designed its flagship device for one-handed usage. The Motorola X8 chip underpinning the Moto X is based on a Snapdragon S4 Pro SoC with dual-core 1.7 GHz Krait CPU and Adreno 320 GPU, helped by 2 GB of RAM.

Depending on how much you will want to pay for your Moto X, you can choose from 16 or 32 GB of storage. The smartphone doesn’t come with a microSD card slot and while some of the internal storage will be allocated to the default apps and to the operating system, you will have to use storage in the cloud services in order to extend your storage.

Besides the front-facing 2 megapixel camera, the Moto X also comes with a primary camera mounted on the back sporting a ClearPixel sensor with f/2.4 aperture and 1.4 µm pixel size. Besides snapping 10 megapixel photos, the Moto X camera also comes with support for 1080p video recording.

The Moto X specs list also includes a WiFi dual-band 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, NFC chip, GPS/GLONASS module, Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy, plus LTE / HSPA+ support.

Underneath its body that measures 129.3 x 65.3 x 10.4 mm, Moto X hides a 2,200 mAh battery that promises to keep the terminal awake for at least 24 hours of moderate usage. Weighing in 130 grams, the Moto X has support for nanoSIM, just like it’s main competitor, the iPhone 5.

The pay as you go price of the Moto X is yet unknown, but the US-based customers will be able to purchase the new smartphone for $199 with a two-year contract with one of the four major carriers. According to the official statements, the Moto X will be available exclusively for The Americas and this can’t be anything more than sad news for the European users

The assumption was that this phone would be an off contract deal breaker much like the Nexus 4 (~$299). However, its been said that for now, its not available and that they are making a "cheaper version"...of an already mid-range spec phone. I cant imagine what else they could strip away and be inciting to anyone and sell it for that amount.


Its the same issue with the HTC One Mini, which is only $100 less than its OG...which is more than $100 better. HTC fucked that up big time.
