Motorola X Phone delayed – will launch sometime in August or later [RUMOR]
Given that the fabled Motorola X Phone is nothing but rumor at this point — actually, we did get a quick glimpse at an alleged prototype a few weeks back — I find it funny that a phone with absolutely no release date can be “delayed.” Apparently that’s the case if PhoneArena’s latest rumor holds any weight. According to them, the Motorola X Phone was originally slated for a possible release in June/July (which is odd seeing as how Google phones always launch during the holiday season) but has now been “delayed” until August or later.
While everything about the X Phone is still up in the air at this point, the device is said to be running a near stock version of Android and wont be a pure-Nexus device (sorry, purists). Hopefully Google will divulge a little more info at this year’s Google I/O but since, again, this wont technically be a Nexus device, I’d expect a Motorola event sometime later this year to announce the new flagship.
