Leaks reveal major changes are coming to the 2016 Moto X

[Wireless News]

The Moto X seems to get better and better every year and newly leaked photos suggest Motorola has no plans to rest on its laurels anytime soon.- HelloMotoHK on Sunday posted some leaked photos that purportedly show both the 2016 Moto X and the Motorola Droid Turbo 3, and they point toward some big redesigns for both devices. FROM EARLIER:- Watch: John Oliver can’t believe we fall for so many stupid scientific studies Here is a leaked photo of the 2016 Moto X: And here's what appears to be the Droid Turbo 3: What can we take away from these two photos? A few things: If these leaks are accurate then the 2016 Moto X and the Droid Turbo 3 will look very similar to one another, although I imagine the Droid Turbo will get beefed up battery specs among other things to make it attractive as a Verizon exclusive. It looks like both phones will have metal frames like the Galaxy S7, iPhone 6s and the HTC 10. Basically, having a metal frame is a prerequisite for flagship devices in 2016. The rear-facing camera is very large and it appears to have the "flat tire" shape that we see with the display of the Moto 360 smartwatch. There's also a rear speaker grill on the back of both devices, which is something that we haven't seen in previous versions of the Moto X. At any rate, it's a good bet that these devices will drop in August, so we still have a couple more months before we see just how accurate these leaked photos are. Additionally,- VentureBeat is reporting that Motorola is planning to release two versions of the 2016 Moto X this year that "share one important attribute: compatibility with an ecosystem of modular, swappable backplates that-endow the phones with significant additional functionality." Although both versions of the device will feature 5.5-inch displays, the rest of their specs are going to differ greatly. Be sure to read the full- VentureBeat article to learn more .
