The next version of the Moto X smartphone is expected to be unveiled in 2016 and a new photo has surfaced on the internet on the possible features and design of the device. Recent rumors also suggest that it could be Motorola's next flagship offering.
As reported by Digital Trends, a Chinese website called CNBeta recently uploaded one of the prototypes for the new gadget. While the photo only shows the back side of the handset, he photo shows an all-metal clad Motorola device which has an oversized camera lens which are covered in glass.
It also has three buttons on its left side, and 2 lines of eight holes situated on the bottom part of the handset which could be for the speakers. The photo also shows two sections on the top and bottom which could be for the phone's antenna.
The speculated prototype for Moto X 2016 suggests a design change. As reported by Tech 2, the new look sported in the device show similarities with the previous Motorola E8 (MotoRokr) which was released in 2008. It also looks like a mix of iPhone 5S and Lumia 830 with its rear display.
If the design shown in the leaked render becomes the final look of the new handset, Yibada reported that the new device might do away with the customization feature offered in the previous versions where users get to choose the front and back panel accents of their device.
However, the move to a metal design could also mean an upgrade in the series which could mean that it could also be the next flagship device of the company. Recent speculations on its specs suggest that it could be released with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 820 processor, at least 3GB of RAM, and the latest Android 6.0 Marshmallow.
However, while the wait continues for the official specs of the Moto X 2016, these details must be treated with a grain of salt for now. More details will be reported about the device as they arrive in the coming months.
