Moto X (2015) Pure Edition US Release Date Set, More Specs & Features Listed
The release date for the new Moto X Pure Edition has been announced.
Motorola was vague in divulging the exact release date of its 2015 flagship phone a couple of weeks back. It previously announced a mere September release.
Motorola then took to Twitter on Wednesday to confirm that the new Moto X Pure Edition will be available in the U.S. on September 3. The tweet has since been deleted but you can see the screenshot here.
In its unlocked form, the Pure Edition will cost around $399.99 and will be exclusively sold online through the "Moto Maker" service. However, the company plans to sell the Pure Edition with retail partners such as Amazon and Best Buy.
"Moto Maker" will allow would-be buyers to customize the handset during the ordering process. Although, adding non-standard options would increase the price of the customized device.
Regarding the Pure Edition's specs, the device will come with a 5.7-inch TFT display, a 21 MP rear camera with 1080p HD video (60 fps) capacity, a 5 MP front snapper with a LED flash of its own, Qualcomm's Snapdragon 808 SoC with hexa-core CPU, 3GB of RAM, 16 / 32 / 64GB of expandable storage, Nano-SIM support and a 3,000 mAh battery. It runs Android 5.1.1 Lollipop, as stated on Motorola's official website.
The new Moto X Pure Edition goes by the name of Moto X Style in areas outside of the U.S. The handset will be the third offering in the Moto X series. Added features include "Turbo Charging" capabilities, micro-SD support, and front-facing stereo speakers.
According to The Verge, The third generation Moto X will support any of the four big U.S. mobile carriers and will shipped free of unwanted and excess software from carriers.
Aside from that, the mobile company boasted that their phones are prioritized whenever new Android OS updates arrive.
Reports of the new Moto X Pure Edition's U.S. release date came two weeks after the device was unveiled together with the Moto X Play and next generation Moto G last July 28.
Moto G has since garnered rave reviews for a budget smartphone.
"Oh, how far we've come. Smartphone makers are really trying to nail the "high-quality, low-cost" formula this year, and they're working up ways to sell straight to consumers too. Even with all that new competition, the Motorola Moto G's blend of performance, clean software and a mostly solid camera make it the best bang for your Android buying buck... for now, anyway," Engadget critiqued.
Only time will tell if same can be said with the new Moto X Pure Edition.
