Without carrier support for marketing and advertising, Motorola has to build its own buzz for the new flagship phone, especially as we get closer to the launch date. Unlike most of its high-end competitors, the handset offers a largely untouched version of Android 5.1 Jelly Bean, meaning you won’t find any of the usual bloatware and are likely to be first in line to receive future software updates.

In another news, Motorola is slated to release three new phones named Moto X Play, Moto G 2015, and Moto X Pure Edition.
Unless real world usage isn’t representative of the Moto X Pure Edition I used for a short while last month, Motorola’s newest flagship may be the one to beat in the near term: It won’t cost you an arm and a leg for a pure Android experience on solid hardware. The Moto X Style is different however and features the latest and greatest smartphone hardware.
After this tweet was found, it was quickly deleted, with no rhyme nor reason as to why.
Clearly shown is the new Moto X, with the tweet stating it will be available starting September 3rd. This year the Moto X will not be available from carriers in the United States, as it has been the past two years, so it won’t be available on-contract at a lower price. Again, this is something LG did with the G4 and while there are definite issue in performance for power users, it is obviously a compromise Motorola was willing to make. A lot actually. Here’s all the details from the official announcement, and below are a few additional details.

Unlocked with Universal 4G LTE (Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, etc.). What I’m looking forward to the most, is the camera performance. That said, it supports all major carriers.
