With the debut of the Moto Z, lots of folks are wondering if the Moto X family of devices is done for. According to Motorola, that’s not the case.
In a statement to Android Police, Motorola has said that “Moto X is alive and well,” going on to say that the Moto X Force recently launched in several new markets. Motorola’s full statement reads:
“Moto X is alive and well. In fact, Moto X Force recently launched in multiple new markets around the world. Moto X and Moto Z do share some great qualities, but they ultimately provide different experiences and make our portfolio more robust for consumers looking for the perfect smartphone to fit their needs. Tech-hungry consumers who are looking to get a brand new set of experiences from their smartphone will turn to Moto Z and Moto Mods.”
While this is a confirmation that the Moto X line is alive right now, it’s unclear if we’ll ever see any new Moto X-branded phones. It’s possible that Motorola will keep the Moto X Style/Pure Edition around for a bit, especially since its spec list is still pretty respectable as a kind of lower high-end/upper mid-range phone. For now, it looks like Moto Z is Motorola and Lenovo’s new flagship tier hardware, and the Moto X name will live on with the Style/Pure Edition.
Do you think Motorola will launch any new Moto X hardware? Or will the family end with the Style/Pure Edition?
