The Moto X successor, internally called the Moto X+1, has appeared once again on GFXBench, sporting a decent set of internal specs. This report comes from Italian tech blog WebTrek, previous reports have shown Geekbench benchmarks of the same device.
Codenamed the Motorola XT1097, same as the Geekbench leak, the Moto X+1 will come with a 5.2-inch full HD display. Motorola is once again looking towards the previous generation display tech, instead of the new 2K displays on offer.
Inside the Moto X+1 will be a Qualcomm quad-core Snapdragon 801 processor, clocked at 2.4GHz, along with 2GB of RAM, Adreno 330 GPU and 16GB of internal storage (10GB will be usable), no word on the battery inside the device.
Motorola did make a big deal out of the battery life last year, offering 24 hours of usage. Figures were lower than that when reviewers and users got to test the Moto X out, but it still performed better than Samsung’s Galaxy S5 and the HTC One.
The camera on the back of the Moto X+1 will be a 13MP shooter capable of 4K video recording, along with a 2MP front facing camera. The GFXBench did not include OIS, but it will have HDR and dual-LED flash.
Motorola has been very prudent when it comes to Android updates on the Moto X. The commitment to making the OS near to stock Android, along with adding new Moto services for users that don’t feel like bloatware, has gone a long way with customers.
Hopefully, the Moto X+1 will come running Android L, but if it is not released by September, Motorola will add KitKat. Reports say Motorola will be at IFA in Berlin on September 9, to announce the Moto X+1 and potentially the Nexus 6.
