October Roll Out for Moto X Smartphone Made in Texas

The Moto X smartphone will move from being a rumour to a real device in October when Google's Motorola Mobility will roll out the mobile phone which will be manufactured in Fort Worth, Texas.

The launch of the gadget represents not only a fresh start for Motorola whose market share has drastically dwindled but also an attempt to bring back tech manufacturing jobs to the U.S.

Motorola will employ 2,000 workers who will produce the phone that Motorola Chief Executive Officer Dennis Woodside said at the D Conference would have the ability to engaged in different ways than its competitors.

He had a prototype in his pocket but didn't show the device which he hinted it acts differently without draining battery life due to its use of two processors that allow the phone to do those things. The contextual awareness feature would mean the phone knows if it is inside a pocket, taken out, inside a vehicle or on a desk.

The confirmation of the October launch date could end or further fuel speculations on fansites and blogs what kind of device to expect from the once number one phone maker. Although Google purchased Motorola for $12.5 billion, Google support is focused on finance and legal but Motorola is treated as a separate company, Mr Woodside said.

TechCrunch said the Android scene gas big expectations from Motorola because as a company it is the one that industry observers said can stand up against Samsung, amid a weak HTC, lack of support by LG for its phone and Google still figuring out how to get people its Nexus phones.

With the return of manufacturing the Moto X in the U.S., Apple would lose the exclusive use of the powerful marketing phrase Made in America. However, Mr Woodside admitted the 1,100 components of the Moto X would still be manufactured overseas but assembled in the U.S.

The bulk of the 130 million smartphones owned by Americans are built in East Asia factories where labour cost is much lower than in the U.S.
