For quite a few months now, a certain Motorola device, dubbed the “X Phone”, has been making rounds around the rumor mill. From being Google’s new flagship device, to just another device in the Motorola portfolio, to debuting a completely new version of Android, the X Phone has been very mysterious, but images have leaked in the past.
And now, all of a sudden, an FCC filing. That’s very promising. In fact, now it’s also pretty certain that the model number is “XT1058″. Besides that, the earlier leaks of it using AT&T 4G LTE bands also proves true, along with Bluetooth 4.0, 802.11ac WiFi and NFC radios. Aesthetically, the design may actually change, since this definitely look like the typical camouflage casing given to unreleased smartphones.
Should be interesting to know what Google will say about this in the coming weeks or months.

First of all, before specs are thrown around about an unannounced, unnamed, and unknown device it’s worth noting that we definitely know it’s on AT&T; the carrier’s name is in the top left corner, with its unique LTE logo in the top right along with a bundled myAT&T app. The back of the device is labeled “XFON”, without anybody having a single idea what that refers to. Other than that, the smartphone that @evleaks has acquired photos of also runs the stock version of Android, so that’s an additional detail.
This totally is an unannounced Motorola Google Android phone, but right out the gate, the people who have their hands on it at Tinhte in Vietnam already have stated it’s not the rumored “
In a bid to take the Android smartphone marketplace into its own hands, Motorola (now owned by Google) is readying an “X Phone” (as dug up by the WSJ), to launch next year. Everything is on the table here: this device is not set to replace the Nexus or Droid lines, but rather to stand on its own, taking on and beating the famous Samsung Galaxy and Apple iPhone lines. After the “X Phone” is complete however, an “X Tablet” is planned for release sometime after.
While Motorola took some time off with Google to display their newest handsets a few weeks ago in New York City, Motorola has saved the RAZR i for later. First off, the RAZR i is currently only planned for Latin America and Europe in October, so the rest of the North American continent will be left without the Razr i, at least for now.
Never have we known of a $99 Android smartphone that is comparable to the best of other Android smartphones, but with a design that bleeds of premium quality. That’s the DROID RAZR M from Motorola: built from aircraft-grade aluminum frame, a hard plastic body, Kevlar, and water-repellent nanocoating to protect against water or something like a splash of coffee. And because of the build materials, the DROID RAZR M is astoundingly original and beautiful.
While it may not have an HD screen, and instead goes for the smaller 960×540 qHD format, the DROID RAZR M is the least expensive of all three new DROID RAZRs, and has a thicker profile, but still the same top-notch specs of its brothers. Dual-core processors, 4G LTE, and long battery are all present here in the DROID RAZR M. Another difference to this particular mobile computer is that it will be available for pre-order starting today at $99.
If Motorola had reason to boost the DROID RAZR HD’s battery life, then it was only for kicks. And it’s come to life as the DROID RAZR Maxx HD. Tons of extra battery life, a 4.7-inch HD Super AMOLED display, a dual-core processor, 4G LTE network, and 21 hours of talk time. All of the previous features, like mobile hotspot, Kevlar, an edge-to-edge screen design are present on the Maxx HD, and will debut later this year with the normal RAZR HD, later this holiday season.
At 480 million users as of today, Android has 1.3 million new activations daily, as of today. 70,000 of those Android devices are tablets, which Scmidt says is only due to Android entering the market late in the tablet sector.
