Some new info emerged on the
Moto X, on top of what we already heard about
customization options and always-on awareness of the handsets, dubbed "Google Now on steroids."
It turns out that the Moto X phone might "
feature a Clear Pixel Camera with gesture controls," whatever that means. Google's Vic Gundotra was
promising "insanely great" camera in the next Nexus phone, with
Nikon branding, but for now it seems that Motorola and the Nexus line will be kept separated, though that camera might have been folded into the Moto X, too.
Last we heard, the shooter was supposed to be 10 MP, and the source also confirmed the specs that
were tipped to us before - 720p HD screen, dual-core Snapdragon S4 MSM8960 Pro processor and 2 GB of RAM.
The thing he writes about the camera is that "
dark, blurry pics and lack of details will be things of the past," and one comment reminds us of a technology Kodak had a while ago that incorporates
panchromatic, or "clear" pixels, like the arrangement you see on the right, to achieve two to four times better light sensitivity. Whether the Moto X camera will use a similar technology, and will this result in better low-light pictures in reality, remains to be seen.
