Moto X Coming to India
After a successful launch of the low-cost Moto G smartphone, Motorola is bringing its Moto X handset to India in the next few weeks.
After a successful launch of the low-cost Moto Gsmartphone, Motorolais bringing its Moto Xhandset to India in the next few weeks.
Responding to a query about the India launch of Motorola's flagship smartphone on Twitter, the company tweeted, "In next few weeks Moto X will launch in India and Australia."
However, Moto Maker - the online tool that allows users to customize Moto X - may not be available at launch. The company tweeted that Moto Maker, which is currently available only in the US, will be rolled out in Western Europe and Mexico in the second quarter of the year, leaving doubts whether this customization tool will be launched in India any time soon.
Moto Maker allows users to choose the colour of the front panel (black or white only), back cover (18 colour options), and the hue of the keys on the side and the camera rim. Motorola says there are over 2,000 possible combinations of colours and build materials.
Moto X is the only flagship smartphone by a major company that aims to lure customers with the promise of optimized user experience instead of beefed up hardware. The device has a 4.7-inch HD screen, dual-core processor, 10MP camera and 2GB RAM.
However, the smartphone comes with a unique always-on voice assistant that listens to the commands even if the user is not operating the handset. It also comes with a Quick Capture feature, which allows users to jerk their wrist twice to open the camera app. The camera of Moto X also features ClearPixel technology that allows 75% more light to enter, thus producing better low light pictures.
Much like Nokia's Glance Screen, Moto X comes with Active Display; this feature shows the time, unread messages and emails, missed calls and other notifications even when the screen is turned off. The device is preloaded with the Migrate app, which allows users to transfer data like contacts, photos, videos and even call log and SMSs from any Android 4.2-powered phone.
It is expected that Motorola will stick to selling Moto X online only via Flipkart at the time of launch. The strategy has worked well in the case of Moto G, which is currently out of stock in India.
However, the India launch of Moto X may be too late, as the next version of the smartphone is in the offing. The update to Moto X will be launched globally next summer, tweeted Motorola.
Rick Osterloh, the company's senior vice-president of product management, also revealed that Moto G has become the highest selling Motorola smartphone of all time.
Motorola also opened up about its plans for a smartwatch via tweets. The company said "We are working on a watch that will be available this year. We aim to address consumer issues like style & battery life."
Google sold Motorola to Lenovo for $2.91 billion in January, less than three years after acquiring the company. Though Motorola's handset business is going to Lenovo, Google will retain its research division and modular smartphone initiative (Project Ara).
