Moto X+1 may see a release on September 25th with Verizon
While we got a pretty good look at what processor Motorola‘s next flagship, the Moto X+1, might be running earlier today, we’ve had a second tidbit of news that might a few pulses racing. According to Droid-life’s sources, the Moto X+1 is going to see a release with Verizon on September 25th. This comes after Motorola confirmed earlier this year that it would be bringing out a new Moto X device alongside a smartwatch (the Moto 360, of course) this summer, which is just about right, if a little bit late.
There aren’t any further details about what carriers will be getting the Moto X+1 besides Verizon, but you can bet there will be exclusivity deals to be revealed much like the Moto X’s release. The Moto X+1 is expected to have a 5-plus-inch display and carry the zippy Snapdragon 801 processor. With Motorola’s reputation of keeping up to date with software updates, the Moto X+1 will also likely ship with Android 4.4.4, with an update to Android L in the not too distant future.
What do you think about the Moto X+1 becoming available on September 25th? Is this a phone you’ve been waiting for? Let us know your opinion.

New benchmark could be indication of Moto X+1 specs [Rumor]
Rumors and speculation will always be part of the tech game. Leaked screenshots, leaked device images, benchmarks of unreleased devices, FCC filings and more are just some of the things that make their way around the web. It is all like a puzzle that is just begging to be pieced together. The last few months have generated some buzz around an upcoming, we all hope, Moto X+1 device. That would be the follow-up device to the currently successful Motorola Moto X. A new round of benchmarks is now floating around from the Geekbench database.
The information above depicts a device that carries the device name of XT1097. It sports Android 4.4.4, a quad-core Qualcomm processor clocked at 2.46GHz and 2GB of RAM. We naturally assume the processor is the Snapdragon 801 since the 800 only clocks to 2.3GHz, where as the 801 goes to 2.5GHz. The motherboard listing is the MSM8974 and is the same for the 800 and the 801, minus a v3 listing. It carries an Andreno 330 GPU and all the goods for USB 3.0, Bluetooth 4.0, 4K playback and capture and more. While the chipset support it all, that doesn’t mean the device will take on the much beefier specs that it is capable of.
A Brazilian site leaked out some specs for the Moto X + 1 back at the end of June that were similar to those found above, with the exception of the processor being the Snapdragon 801. With talks of a 1080p HD 5.2-inch display, 32GB on board storage and a 2,900 mAh battery. Those specs line up with some other benchmarks from April that had a device name of XT912A, but only carried a Snapdragon 800 and Android 4.4.3. Interestingly enough, the XT912 code is the Droid Razr (Verizon), where as the Moto X line carried XT1052 (Europe), XT1053 (T-Mobile), XT1055 (U.S. Cellular), XT1056 (Sprint), XT1058 (AT&T) and XT1060 (Verizon). Seems to me that the XT912A could be a Razr refresh for Verizon with newer hardware.
It isn’t out of the realm of possibility that since the last round of leaks Motorola has changed the processor along with the Android version. After all, Android 4.4.4 isn’t that much different when compared to Android 4.4.3 and changing out a newer version chip during development isn’t unheard of.
Putting all the pieces together from what I have read and where I think Motorola should head, I would expect the Moto X+1 to carry the Snapdragon 801. While the 800 is a great processor, the 801 is the new challenger that is finding its way into device already on the market, such as the LG G3. Heck, even the upcoming Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro and even the Xiaomi Mi4 offers the Snapdragon 801. If Xiaomi can wrap up similar specs into a device that is $320 for 16GB and $400 for 64GB, Motorola should be able to do the same.
What are your thoughts and predictions about the Moto X+1?

The Moto 360 will come with this stylish wireless charger
We now know more info about the hotly anticipated Moto 360 smartwatch from Motorola, thanks to a series of photos from Mister Gadget, aka Luca Viscardi. The foremost detail is a wireless inductive charger that looks easy to use — no small thing, since that fancy display will no doubt eat the battery quickly. It’s also a wise choice considering the skin irritation bugs with the LG G Watch’s charging pins, which the Moto 360 lacks. Previous rumors show that it’ll support Qi charging too, meaning it’ll work with the Nexus 5′s charger, among others. The back reveals the presence of an optical heart rate sensor and confirms that the water resistant case will be built from 316L stainless steel. Another image gives it some scale next to LG’s G watch, showing it to be about the same size — big, but not overly bulky. Otherwise, it confirms details we’ve already seen, along with its general handsomeness. That’s a good thing, since Android Wear‘s success might be riding on its round face.

More power, Protection and SD support for your Moto X with new Mugen Power Case
I see a lot of odd, fun, cool, interesting and crazy things roll through my email. Cases and extended batteries are plentiful. Along with a myriad of ways to utilize a micro SD card on devices either wirelessly or through a OTG style plug-in support. However, I can’t recall a time when I have seen all of the above rolled into one product for one device. Mugen Power has apparently made it all possible though with a 2800 mAh extended battery case with SD card slot for the Moto X.
The whole thing looks a little bulky, but you are gaining quite a bit from the added size. Mugen Power goes over a few various things on their page regarding the case, like what you will need on various version of Android to utilize the SD card.
They also mention that you should switch the case off for 1 second before switching to the card.
“Motorola Moto X owners are often reported to complain about short battery life of the device. We worked hard on this project and managed to fit exceptional battery life, additional protection and SD card slot which naturally works with Android into this case. Our solution gives customers added battery life to stay connected longer without recharges and make more with the smartphone than ever before,” says Nikolai Lebedovsky, CEO at Mugen Power.
If battery life and storage space are some of the downfalls of your Moto X, this could be your all-in-one solution. The beefy case will set back your bank account a cool $89.50 + tax and is now available on Amazon. Just hit the link below to check it out.
