Motorola's unannounced Moto X model has circled the rumor mills for quite some time now. It has gone from being called the Moto Bounce to what speculators refer to it at present. 

Previous tips of the handset have stated much about its hardware specs, leaving nothing left to the imagination. As detailed as they have been, earlier leaks have no mention of the handset's release date and price. Fortunately, a new report has addressed that deficiency.

Tipster @upleaks, the primary Moto X Force leaker for the past couple of days, took to his official Weibo page to add further details on the upcoming handset. 

The Malaysian-based informant claimed that Motorola's unannounced offering will retail for 4,000 CNY or approximately $628 starting December.

"In contrast, Motorola's Moto X Style (aka Pure Edition) has just launched for the low price point of $399 off-contract. Seeing a bigger price tag associated with the Moto X Force should come as no surprise, especially given the potential bump up in specifications and features," Android Authority wrote of the latest tip.

As for the Moto X Force's hardware specs, the flagship will have a 5.43-inch display with a 1440 x 2560 QHD resolution, Qualcomm's Snapdragon 810 chipset and 3 GB of RAM. The device is also equipped with a 3,760 mAh battery, perfect for those who treat their smartphones as heavy gaming devices. The phone's dry-cell capacity is also good for viewing movies and playing music.

The Moto X Force comes with a 21-megapixel rear camera, reminiscent of the Moto X Style, and a five-megapixel front-facing shooter. It will also feature 32 GB or 64 GB of internal storage.

Android Authority also adds that the Moto X Force will come with a "shatterproof" frame. This fixed design is a surprising undertaking for Motorola. The company had been adamant in letting their consumers have final customization control over their respective Moto devices via the Moto Maker. However, only time will tell if this change in principle will bode well for the Illinois-based mobile manufacturer.

But a report from CNet defends the tech company, saying, "Motorola's handsets -- like the Moto G and Moto X Pure/Play -- typically focus on letting the buyer customize the phone's look and feel, but the company has yet to tackle the notion of a more rough and tumble design." 

"Although this type of ruggedized handset is much less emphasized recently in favor of cases people purchase separately, the rumor highlights a common problem buyers have protecting their expensive phones from drops and breaks -- accidents that can have costly effects," the news outlet adds.
