Motorola Moto X+1 Update: Forthcoming Flagship Could Be Announced Late August

Motorola might have been struggling to sell its Moto X handset after repetitive attempts, but the company still has ardent followers. While other established players like Samsung have already announced their respective big-ticket flagship phones in the first half of 2014, Motorola so far has shown no interest in bringing a high-end device into the game.

Now, there is an update on the legitimate successor to the Moto X. According to TK Tech, Motorola will soon announce a premium device in 2014. Dubbed the Moto X+1, the new flagship is expected to be released between August and September. It could also be the same phone which was leaked a few days back.

The report further claims that the Moto X+1will feature a 1080p Full HD Super AMOLED display and 2GB of RAM. It will come in 3 variants, with 16GB, 32GB and 64GB of internal storage, and users will be able to further expand on-board storage up to 128GB via a microSD card slot.

In terms of imaging capability, the Moto X+1 could feature an updated camera. The same blog site indicates that there are two cameras that are being considered for the phone, although it's unclear what these versions are.

At the same time, the blog site has got their hands-on a leaked retail packaging of the Moto X+1 -- complete with "Motorola Confidential Property" branding. Motorola is clearly aiming to take on the Apple iPhone 6 which might get launched later this year.

In the meantime, check out the video below for a brief look at the device's boot animation.
