The much-anticipated successor of the Moto X, called the Moto X+1 or the Moto X2, is expected to be released sometime later this summer, alongside the Moto 360.

Because there has been no specific release date announcement, and fans are waiting, the phone has been the subject of numerous leaks for awhile now, and the latest piece to hit the Internet are some purported images of the device, as well as some new specifications.

The leaked images are claimed to be of a "near-final prototype" of the anticipated Moto X+1, and show a device with a similar design to the Moto X. The device features wood-finished back panel, with a camera in the center. Previously, serial tipster @evleaks had suggested 25 colour options for the Moto X+1 in five categories: Cool, Neutral, Warm, Wood and Leather.

The latest leak (via Android Police) also tips the display seen in the alleged Moto X+1 images is 5.1-inches large. The front also has a speaker grill at the bottom of the display, like the Moto E. The Moto X+1's display was earlier alleged to be a full-HD (1080x1920 pixels).

While previous leaked images had indicated the Moto X+1 might not come with a rear flash, the latest leak shows two small circular dots on the mounting surrounding the camera lens, claimed to be dual-LED flash.

So far, other rumoured speculations for the anticipated Moto X+1 include a Snapdragon 800 processor with 2GB of RAM; a 12-megapixel front camera and a 5-megapixel front camera, 32GB of built-in storage; and a 2900mAh battery.

Prior to Motorola's official unveiling of the Moto X last summer, the smartphone was hyped for months and was often referred to as the X Phone. The handset was the first smartphone that Motorola and Google had worked on together since Google acquired the company in 2011 for $12.5 billion.

With Google's cash flow and Motorola's long reputation of building some of the most iconic cellular phones over the years, the two could produce what was often described as a smartphone that was light years ahead of anything wlse on the market.
