Moto X Pure Edition will arrive on September 3

On Twitter, Motorola announced that its new flagship smartphone the Moto X Pure Edition will be available starting on September 3. In case you’re wondering the Moto X Pure Edition is essentially the same as the Moto X Style just under a different name.

UPDATE: The post is down so take this with a grain of salt. Hopefully we’ll find out more details shortly.

Motorola’s aim was to make this the best phone for the buck. There is lots of hype for the device but only time will tell how it stands against rivals like the Samsung Galaxy S6, LG G4 and recently announced OnePlus 2. Here’s a recap of the device’s specifications.

The device will feature a large 5.7-inch QHD LCD display, a Snapdragon 808 chipset backed with 3GB of RAM, a 21MP rear-facing camera and three storage options starting at 16GB. The device will also be expandable via a built in microSD card slot. Some other details include a 3000mAh battery with fast charging capabilities and Android Lollipop pre-installed.

Users can customize the device through Motorola’s online Moto Maker. This will include different backing options, colors and trims. Pricing will start at $399 for the 16GB off contract model which will be unlocked to support all four major U.S. carriers. This is a smart approach by the company which will ultimately give users Android updates shortly after they’re released.
