Moto X+1, the successor of 2013 Moto X is still not official. However leaks pertaining to the upcoming Moto X+1 release are quite rife. Freshly leaked images picked up by the tech portal Android Police shows the Moto X+1 (also referred as Moto X2) like never before. Notably, the device was photographed from every possible angle to provide a wholesome view of the announced device.

In hindsight, the 2013 Motorola Moto X was launched in August. The phone was a good surprise to both users and critics alike especially because it came from the troubled Motorola unit. Moto X bundles the incredible voice recognition technology along with customizable rear panel option through Motorola Moto Maker and a price that is just right, according to Phone Arena.

With August nearing close, it is time for Motorola to refresh the Moto X brand with Moto X+1 (Moto X2). The freshly leaked images look like the "near-final" prototype of the Moto X+1.

It is worth noting that, Lenovo acquired Motorola Mobility in the first quarter of 2014 from Google. However, the upcoming Moto X+1 was designed by Google and not by Lenovo. Hence it is safe to assume that Moto X+1 will come with similar design features of the Moto X.

Going by the image, the dual speaker is located on the front side of the phone and the rear panel is a replaceable one as expected. The Moto X+1 in the image features a wooden rear cover and a plastic Motorola logo embedded in the middle of the rear panel. The other noticeable features include a huge opening for the primary camera unit and dual LED flash. Apparently, the prototype did not house a microSD card slot.
