By Prarthito

Since competition and comparisons are the orders of the day, compared to the likes of Samsung, Sony or Apple, Motorola Mobility may not have that big a following. However, that hasn't dampened the company's enthusiasm a single bit and, in terms of the growing Indian market, the company is now set to release its next big offering after Moto G, dubbed Moto X, next week.

 

After creating some noise in the Indian market with the Moto G launch at highly affordable price points, it now looks like the company is all geared up to launch Motorola Moto X in India by next week.

As we mentioned before, this is a high-end device compared to the Moto G. The device, basically a rival device to Samsung Galaxy S4 and HTC One, features a 4.7-inch 720p HD AMOLED display.

Touchless Interface

Touchless Interface

If Moto X is to make it big in the domestic market, like it did for the U.S., it has to promote the device's touchless control interface (and move it from the "hidden" category). Basically, the touchless interface is quite an impressive thing to be present in the device.

Users will just need to head to settings and select Touchless controls to configure it. This will enable users to take instant actions for making calls, sending texts and even search Google for a query with just their voices.

Moto Connect Feature

This one is a pre-installed app and allows users to pair the phone to other devices such as PC or laptop. Doing this will allow users to send and receive calls and texts on a computer (rather than the phone) using the Moto Connect Chrome Browser extension.
