Motorola Moto X was a phone that brought Motorola back into the smartphone game in the US and they recently launched the device along with Flipkart in India. Prior to the Moto X launch and after the Moto G launch, Motorola’s ownership has changed twice – first they were owned by Google and now, they are owned by the Chinese manufacturer Lenovo.
Motorola is rumored to be working on the successor of Moto X and according to the popular Twitter account @evleaks, the device will be called Moto X+1 which sounds different. According to @evleaks, the device will also come with a leather back. This is something new and Motorola were the first company to try different materials for the back of the device. Moto X came with a wooden back and now Moto X+1 is being rumored to come with a leather back. @evleaks has been accurate with all of his leaks and we have no reason to doubt this claim.
