Moto X to feature zero-gap “Magic Glass” construction
We’re only a few short days away from Motorola’s official Moto X announcement, but the leaks are still rolling in faster than we can handle. The latest comes from Taylor Wimberly, who has revealed that the Moto X will be constructed with something Motorola’s calling “Magic Glass.” It’s apparently a strengthened sheet of glass molded to cover not only the front of the device, but the sides as well.
Don’t worry, it’s not as bad as it sounds — the glass is specially coated with a polymer material and should be sturdy enough to withstand some bumps.This design should make for zero-gap consistency throughout the device’s chassis. It’s hard to get a sense of just how well this works, so we’ll have to wait until Thursday to get a look at it for ourselves.
Wimberly also mentions that the device has laminated aluminum construction, something that will make for a better, stronger build quality while keeping a lightweight feel. The Moto X might not have the horsepower we were all expecting it to don before it was made official, but it still has us intrigued by pretty much every other aspect. Be sure to stay around as we’ll head to New York for a close-up with the thing this Thursday!
