Second-generation Motorola Moto X available in red leather

Into leather? If you like the feel of the stuff, you might want to consider the new red leather second-generation Motorola Moto X now available from the Moto Maker store. The price of the leather back is the same $25 that Motorola charges for other leather and wood options on the site. Motorola is partnering with Horween for the material.

Let's go over those specs for the second-gen Moto X. The phone carries a 5.2-inch AMOLED display with resolution of 1080 x 1920. That works out to a pixel density of 423ppi. A quad-core 2.5GHz Snapdragon 801 CPU is under the hood with the Adreno 330 GPU crunching graphics. 2GB of RAM is inside and the second-gen Moto X comes with 16/32GB of native storage. Keep in mind that the Moto X lacks a micro-SD slot. A 13MP camera is on back with a 2MP snapper on front for selfies and video chats. A 2300mAh battery keeps the lights on and Android 5.0 is on board.

The off-contract version of the Moto X with the red leather back is priced at $524.99 for the 16GB model, and $574.99 for the 32GB variant. If you sign a two-year contract with Verizon or AT&T, the 16GB model in red leather will cost you $124.99. The 32GB variant will run you $174.99.

Ah yes, thanks to the leather back there is nothing like that new smartphone smell.
