Google's Moto X smartphone to be out by October

Google subsidiary, Motorola Mobility, has officially confirmed last week that it would launch its Moto X smartphone by October.

Motorola CEO, Dennis Woodside, attempted to address concerns in an interview (last) Wednesday and let the world know that the company will be launching the rumored Moto X smartphone sometime between now and October. In fact, the entire product line of Motorola smartphones will be revamped, Woodside said during an the D: All Things Digital conference here, reports Cnet.

"We'll launch a handful of smartphones that aren't the end, but show where the company is heading," Woodside was quoted saying.

Apparently, the Moto X will be manufactured in a plant outside of Fort Worth, Texas, U.S., and will employ 2,000 people.

The Telegraph adds that Woodside said the Moto X would change the way users "engage with how the devices are designed", and that the "broadly distributed" phone would provide "experiences are unlike other experiences out there."

The device will mark Google's first new product since it bought Motorola, the manufacturers of the first mobile phone, and will be an attempt to drive down prices of smartphones, it added.

"Woodside, a former Googler who was brought in to run the 2011 acquisition, said the flagship device would compete with both top Android devices such as the Samsung Galaxy S4 and the HTC One as well as the iPhone, which is expected to be updated later this year."

According to Woodside, the Moto X would be more contextually aware of what's going on around it as also allow users to interact with it more than other contemporary devices. "It anticipates my need."

Are you excited about Moto X's potential success or think it will fall by the wayside with bigger rivals and increasing competition in the smartphone segment?
