Title: Spy shots reveal Moto X will be very compact, use nanoSIM
Post by: GSMArena on Jul 31, 2013, 01:31 PM
The Moto X phone will be announced at tomorrow's event (http://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_moto_x_will_go_official_on_august_1_in_nyc-news-6420.php) but the specs won't be a huge surprise as we've seen so many leaks already and today brought a new batch. First off, the phone will use a nanoSIM card, instead of the more popular microSIM as revealed by a photo from Hong Kong.

Moto X will use a nanoSIM card

Why Hong Kong, when the Moto X should be assembled in the US (http://www.gsmarena.com/moto_x_smartphone_gets_confirmed_as_the_first_to_be_made_in_the_usa-news-6121.php)? Here's hoping this means that Motorola will launch the phone worldwide not just the US (Google is usually quite terrible at this).

Other photos have surfaced, comparing the Moto X to the Motorola Milestone 3 (http://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_milestone_3_xt860-4349.php), which gave us an opportunity to measure the dimensions of the X. The photos are heavily cropped (presumably to hide the identity of the leaker), you can get a better look at the Moto X here (http://www.gsmarena.com/moto_x_shown_off_in_official_press_shots-news-6472.php).

Moto X sized up against the Motorola Milestone 3

The Motorola Moto X phone measures 8.7mm at its thickest part and just 5.8mm at its thinnest. The other measurements work out to 125.9mm tall and 66mm wide, which sounds amazing for a phone with a 4.7" screen. We got a little suspicious, so we measured the screen size in the first photo and ended up with 4.7".

Other specs on the Moto X include a 720p resolution for the screen, dual-core Krait processor, 10MP camera with an unusual image sensor (http://www.gsmarena.com/moto_x_camera_specs_leak_10mp_with_1080p_capturing_at_60_fps-news-6490.php) that can shoot 1080p video at 60fps.

The Moto X will be announced tomorrow and we'll be covering the event, so make sure to tune in for the official specs and (hopefully) availability details.
