smartphones have been garnering a
lot of attention for the last few
months. Though no one can say
whether it is one device or an entire
range of new devices that are being
developed, that has not stopped the
rumour mill from buzzing.
Now, Twitter user @evleaks has
posted pictures of what appears to be
Motorola's next flagship smartphone.
In one of the images that showcases
the back of the smartphone, the
model name "XFON" can be seen.
@evleaks has posted the caption
"Blackboxed Motorola for AT&T",
which indicates that this smartphone
might be headed to telecom operator
AT&T in near future.
Folks at PhoneArena, are claiming that
these pictures are indeed real and
have also added that XFON is indeed
the Motorola X phone that's been
talked about for a while and it bears
the codename Ghost.
From the posted image it also appears
that the smartphone has been placed
in a large case perhaps to hide the
actual form factor of the device.
However, from the picture it does
appear that this smartphone will not
have a large display like most flagship
smartphones out there.
The current set of pictures are very
similar to the pictures of Motorola
smartphone that were posted a few
weeks back on a Vietnamese site and
later removed.
In April Jim Wicks, Design Chief at
Motorola had shared that the company
will be launching stock Android devices
and has also indicated that, "if you like
smaller form-factor devices or stock
Android, you're going to be excited."
From the images, it does appear that
this smartphone has a relatively small
display.
As per previous rumours, the next
smartphone by Motorola will be
powered by a Snapdragon 800 chipset
and will sport a 4.7-inch display with a
resolution of 768x1280 pixels.
Google Executive Chairman, Eric
Schmidt while commenting on the
forthcoming line-up from Motorola
had shared that they are "very, very
impressive."
Schmidt made this remark while
talking at the AllThingsD Dive Into
Mobile conference. He further went to
add, "They have a new set of
products, which are phenomenal." He
also mentioned that these
smartphones should not be termed as
just phones but "phones-plus."
