Motorola Moto 360 Smartwatch And Moto X+1 (Moto X2) Release Date, News, Leaked Photos, Price, Specs, And More [PHOTO]

Motorola has yet to make an official announcement on the release date of the Moto X+1, also called the Moto X2. However, the latest rumors have indicated that the devices will be released in either August or September. The Moto 360 Smartwatch will share the same release date with the Moto X+1, whenever that may be exactly. 

Those dates have been touted as the company unveiled its smartwatch at the Google I/O 2014 conference, which many expected to be followed by the Moto X+1 release date announcement.

Recently, TK Tech news posted a supposed video clip of the Moto X+1. The clip featured a device that was covered in wrapped plastic, which concealed its identity.

According to the site, the device shown in the post was a Verizon test version of the Moto X, as it presents bloatware for the carrier.

The video clip also seemed to suggest that the latest handset model from Motorola will come with a 1080p display and further slender bezel.

Previously, a German mobile blog called MobiFlip also claimed to spot the upcoming handset in Motorola's Moto Maker. Motorola removed the listing, but not before the blog managed to capture a screenshot of the model.

Another report has also backed suggestions that Motorola may release the Moto X2 sometime in summer 2014, because the company has indicated this would be the case in a Q&A session at this year's Mobile World Congress.

The company stated that the next version of Moto X will be launched sometime in "late summer."

Exact specs are still unknown, but it's expected to include 2GB of RAM, a Super AMOLED screen, and internal memory of 64GB - with MicroSD functionality, a 5.2-inch display, featuring 1080 x 1920 pixel resolutions, and have 2GB of RAM and be powered by a Snapdragon 800 2.3 GHz processor. It could also have a 12 MP primary camera.

Reports have said that Motorola plans to expand the availability of its existing smartphone lineup as well as the Moto Maker tool for its customers, especially in Europe and Mexico. The company is also planning to continue with Android as its primary OS. Motorola has also confirmed that the original Moto X will be released in India and Australia soo

When the Moto 360 smartwatch running Google's new Android Wear operating system was announced it instantly struck a chord with consumers and enthusiasts.

Google first revealed Android Wear back in March, which was met by announcements of the Moto 360 and an LG G Watch. 

With two Android Wear-powered watches already available, consumers have either grabbed one or are anxiously awaiting the Moto 360 version instead. One of the biggest questions prospective buyers have regarding the Moto 360 smartwatch is when can they get one, and for how much. All Google and Motorola have to say is "coming later this summer" which doesn't give buyers much to go on. That being said, read on for five things or rumors potential buyers need to know about the Moto 360.

Recent rumors suggest the Moto 360 will be launched alongside a brand new Moto X+1 smartphone around the middle of August, meaning the release date could be just weeks from today. Earlier rumors claimed a July release date, but those were obviously wrong.

While most reports (including ones from Motorola) suggest this summer for a release date, we don't have a firm day. That said, one online retailer has already reportedly outed the official price in the UK (link now dead, page was removed), as well as a price for the US model. MobileFun states the Moto 360 will retail for $279 in the United States, although we can't say which model or option that will be.

It's worth noting that Google gave away the G Watch or Gear Live to Google I/O attendees at the end of June, and promised they'd all get the Moto 360 when it arrives "later this summer" suggesting the release is close. Check back for more updates about the Moto x+1 and moto 360 release dates
