New images of Motorola Moto X front panel leak; device not part of July 10th-11th event

The Motorola DROID Ultra isn't the only Motorola model that has some new leaked images. A series of pictures showing the front panel of the Motorola Moto X have been leaked as well, along with some bad news. Let's get to the news first. Based on comments made by Motorola employee Guy Kawasaki, it had been expected that the wholly owned Google subsidiary would be introducing the Moto X on July 11th. That hoped-for Thursday unveiling is not happening according to a report published on Sunday. The event will be about something other than the Moto X.

The Motorola Moto X is Google and Motorola's attempt to call a halt to the specs race, and instead deals with giving the consumer what he/she wants in terms of some limited customization. In addition, the phone is expected to contain a number of sensors that will allow it to know when to turn on certain features of the model. For example, if you are in a car, the Moto X will automatically turn on the speakerphone. And when you are about to snap a picture, the phone will automatically turn on the camera application.

Check out the latest leaked images of the Motorola Moto X by visiting the slideshow below.

Seems to have a small bezel, should be very pocketable.

I will never buy phones w/o dual stereo speakers and sealed battery xcept "S", the hTc One is my first phone with sealed battery, and I cannot stand for it. For me. .. phones with sealed battery is disposable.

I'm replying to you using my HTC One, right now the Note 2 is taking a rest. The only thing keeping the One in my stable is the HTC Zoe feature. I have three daughters and that feature has given me some of the greatest video collages of them playing at the park or on family trips. But I really thought the dual front facing speakers would be freaking awesome and a can't live without feature. But when I test my Galaxy Note 2 which is a T-Mobile version running the Jedi X ROM which has Beats included the Note 2 with its single rear speaker is louder than the One with its dual setup. I'm pretty disappointed with the Ones volume. But if I didn't have two phones on two lines my only phone that would get me through the day is a Note 2. I can't run with just the One, I burn it's battery down too fast. Even with the Power Saver settings turned on. I'm kinda bent about the battery life honestly.

Sorry, day by day this phone seems to me less interesting. Now even the design... Not sure what this strategy is about.

I agree about losing interest in this device. Besides the fact I hate computers making decisions for me (if I want to drive and talk I will, my free will is more important than a law) but there was a lot of hype and now this device is starting to cool down. I don't feel the excitement in the air like I did a month or so ago. Good products are important but so is timing and moto is starting to miss it.

I find laws more important than free will in the case if you run over a 4 year old child whilst driving and talking on your phone.....

Is the law stopping you from running over a 4 year old child or is it free will and your own conscience that is making that decision? The idea that any law compels you to do something is very naive. You choose to do good or your choose to do evil, laws only make it so that there are consequences as to whether you choose one path over the other (although sometimes people disregard the consequences). In your world, we are all blood thirsty murderers who only stop ourselves from killing each other because the law says it's wrong. Again, it's a very immature way of seeing things.

I agree. Timing is really important. I think this should have been released in the spring.

I agree. I prefer far more super specs and design rather than software automations. They can prove gimmicky or downright annoying. Particularly if they try to think ahead silly details and get it 70% of the time wrong.

This is the problem. Damned if you do, and damned if you don't. People expect the greatest new features in hardware and software, when it simply doesn't exist, is incompatible, or is out of the consumer price range. Sometimes people will scream for a new mega smartphone just to admire the specs and know it exists, only to not buy it. So many constraints exist and people (especially comment box dwellers including me) expect 10 years of progress now. It's a sad, sad sight...

picture 1 has no protective cover/case for the side, hence the reason for the thinner looking bezel. Picture 2 has a protective cover/shield for the sides or is a different altogether shell as the bezel appears thicker due to the cover.
