We are inching closer to the official launch of the Motorola X, slated (http://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_moto_x_will_go_official_on_august_1_in_nyc-news-6420.php) to happen on August 1. Naturally, then, a few leaks are par for the course and we have not one but two today, in the form of a leaked press image as well as leaked specifications.

The first one comes courtesy
TheUnlockr and gives us a first proper look at the device. The X is a bit of a departure from Motorola's recent designs, wherein it adopts a lot more curvaceous and understated design instead of sharp lines and more radical materials such as Kevlar for the back. The front looks very similar to the Galaxy Nexus (http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_nexus_i9250-4219.php) or the Nexus 4 (http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_nexus_4_e960-5048.php) with it's focus on minimalism and display-centric design.
The back looks similarly sober, with a hump running vertically in the middle of the phone and a camera lens, flash and loudspeaker nestled together near the top above the Motorola logo. The back has a simple dotted pattern but from what we've heard so far you'd have the option to customize it.
Moving over to the specifications, this time courtesy
Android Police, we have a Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8960DT, with a 1.7GHz dual-core CPU and Adreno 320 GPU, 2GB of RAM, 4.7-inch, 1280 x 720 resolution display, 10.5 megapixel rear camera, 2.1 megapixel front camera, 16GB internal memory (12GB user accessible) and Android 4.2.2.
The device has been taken through a couple of benchmarks. The AnTuTu score stands at around 18-19k and 7100 in 3DMark Ice Storm Extreme tests. The scores are impressive, perhaps a bit too impressive. It's curious how the X manages to score higher than the Nexus 4 (approximately 14k and 5.8k, respectively) despite having two few CPU cores and identical GPU (Nexus 4 only has a slightly higher resolution display). Regardless of that, for what will supposedly be a mid-range device, the specs of the Motorola X are quite impressive.
This is all we know for now but with August 1 fast approaching, we wouldn't have to wait too long to find out more.
