Motorola's next high-end smartphones to feature microSD card support and front-facing LED flashes?

Motorola hasn't announced any high-end handsets this year, but it will probably do it pretty soon. According to Jose Arturo, a Verizon device test engineer who's currently testing the Android 5.1 Lollipop update for Motorola's Droid Turbo, Motorola this summer will bring "front facing flash for selfies" and microSD card support to some of its unnamed handsets.

Since the Moto G and Moto E already have microSD card slots, we assume Arturo is talking about at least one of Motorola's next high-end smartphones, possibly the next-generation Moto X. As you may know, Motorola's recent high-end handsets (including the Google Nexus 6) do not have expandable internal memory - a feature that's quite important to many users.

As for the front-facing flash, this may not be that important, but some users will definitely appreciate it.

If we're to believe recent rumors, the third-generation Motorola Moto X should offer a 5.2-inch Quad HD (1440 x 2560 pixels) display, a 5 MP front-facing camera, a 16 MP rear camera with OIS, Snapdragon 808 processor, 4 GB of RAM, 32 GB or 64 GB of storage, and a 3280 mAh battery.

Let's wait and see how many of these alleged features will actually be on board, shall we?
