Motorola's Moto X officially announced for Europe, high price tag attached
Although the Moto X currently costs as low as $399 in the US, it won’t be that cheap in Europe. Customers in the UK will have to pay the equivalent of $622 (£380) to get a SIM-free Moto X. In France, the handset will cost $586 (€429), and we’re thinking that the price is going to be similar in Germany.
We’re guessing that the Moto X will run Android 4.4 KitKat when it lands in Europe next month. That aside, it will offer a 4.7 inch 720p AMOLED screen, Active Display, Touchless Control, LTE, Motorola’s own X8 Mobile Computing System (including a dual-core 1.7GHz Snapdragon processor), 10MP rear camera, 2GB of RAM, 16GB / 32GB of internal memory, and a 2,200 mAh battery. For the moment, we do not know when Moto Maker (which provides customization options for the Moto X) will be available to European customers.
