Motorola X Phone leaked specs point to Sapphire Glass screen

The latest Motorola could come out swinging with a 2GHz Snapdragon 800 processor and 4000mAh battery. But is it too good to be true?

Motorola may be making a serious play for the crown of smartphones if leaked specs are true. TheGoogle owned mobile manufactureris rumoured to be unveiling itsX Phonein November this year and it could come packing some serious power.

According to aPhoneArena sourcethe X Phone will arrive with a 2GHz Snapdragon 800 processor (the one that can play 4K video), a huge 4000mAh battery, and a Sapphire Glass screen that’s three times stronger than Gorilla Glass. Nice touches like rubber corners, water resistance and a carbon fibre back all sound appealing. But is it too good to be true?

Other rumours suggest a customisible device that users can tweek before they buy, much like a new car. Motorola advisor Guy Kawasaki supported this rumour on his G+ page by referring to a customisable Porsche car – “Wouldn’t it be great if you could personalise your phone like this?”. Sit tight for more details as they appear.
