Motorola's line of Moto smartphone like the Moto G and the Moto X have been designed to offer the best optimized performance despite rather lower-end hardware which is why it is great news that we'll soon be getting both here in Malaysia. The Motorola Moto X Malaysia pricing will begin from RM1499 which is a great price considering the 10MP Clear Pixel camera and Always On feature. Too bad there probably won't be Moto Maker customization but we hope that the wooden back casings will make it here somehow. No exact Malaysia release dates were available but stay tuned for more information.

The Motorola Moto X could soon be joining the Motorola Moto G here in Malaysia as local retailers have indicated that the smartphone could be on sale by the end of April 2014. Other local retailers have also revealed a pre-order price of RM1399, which is certainly tempting for a smartphone that is always listening to you. While the pricing may be a bit off from the overseas $299 (RM956) off contract price we're hoping that it at least comes with Moto Maker or some form of customization to make up for the price increase (hopefully wooden backplates). Tech specs for the Moto X remain the same and include:

• 1.7GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 Pro CPU (Motorola X8 Mobile Computing system)
• Adreno 320 quad-core GPU
• 2GB RAM
• 16GB / 32GB storage
• 4.7-inch RGB AMOLED screen (720 x 1280 pixels, 316 ppi)
• 10MP rear camera (ClearPixel, LED Flash) + 2MP front camera
• 130g
• 2200 mAh
• Supports 4G LTE, Bluetooth 4.0 LE + EDR, WiFi a/g/b/n/ac

It has been a long time coming but the Motorola Moto X finally gets it's official launch and despite all the leaked photos, tech specs and features, it still manages to hold a couple of surprises in store for us. For now, lets confirm rumours as the edge-to-edge Magic Glass screen is there along with other tech specs like:

• 1.7GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 Pro CPU (Motorola X8 Mobile Computing system)
• Adreno 320 quad-core GPU
• 2GB RAM
• 16GB / 32GB storage
• 4.7-inch RGB AMOLED screen (720 x 1280 pixels, 316 ppi)
• 10MP rear camera (ClearPixel, LED Flash) + 2MP front camera
• 130g
• 2200 mAh
• Supports 4G LTE, Bluetooth 4.0 LE + EDR, WiFi a/g/b/n/ac
• Android 4.2.2

With the Motorola Moto X set to be announced tomorrow it seems apt to leak whatever we know about the upcoming smartphone. Apparently the phone will use Magic Glass which is a layer of Gorilla Glass molded to a special polymer, creating a continuous surface from the front to the edges of the device. The resulting smartphone will have a zero gap construction for a seamless look and feel, but hopefully allow for microSD expansion somehow. Other tech specs for the Motorola Moto X include:

• 1.7GHz Krait Processor
• 2GB RAM
• 16GB / 32GB storage + microSD
• 4.7-inch 720p display
• 10.5MP rear camera + 2.1MP front camera
• Android 4.3 Jelly Bean

In what could be the Moto X (or otherwise known as Google X phone) a leak appeared recently about the Motorola Droid Ultra. It initially appeared on Motorola's own site and mentions a DuPont Kevlar body. The page initially had the tagline "THINK THIN" and mentioned it would come in "a bunch of glossy colors" but the page has since been taken down. While there were tech specs on the page they were referring to the Motorola RAZR M which is another thin, Kevlar based phone but only has black, white and purple with no other glossy colours. For those who don't know, Kevlar is a tough composite material often used inside bullet-proof vests. No other details such as specific tech specs, pricing or availability were available but the existance of the page should mean it is coming soon.
