During the past few weeks, we’ve sneaked a peek and heard an awful lot about the Moto X+1, Motorola’s upcoming successor to its current flagship smartphone, the Moto X, and earlier today the handset reappeared on the company’s official website again, before quickly being removed.

Sadly, there wasn’t much to the post. It was just a landing page for the Moto X+1 on AT&T, imparting that the device is, in fact, real and should be launching in the United States on the nation’s fastest 4G-enabled carrier pretty soon. However, thanks to recent leaks, rumors and speculation, we know a little bit more about the device.

We believe the Moto X+1 will be available in black, blue, grey and red leather options, whilst maintaing the facility to have the traditional wooden back that the original Moto X brought to the table. The X+1 will also be available through MotoMaker, so customers will still have the facility to tailor all design, storage and accessory options to their personal preference.

A recent benchmark test revealed some more details about the handset, including some specifications. Carrying the model number XT912A, the X+1 will feature a 5.2-inch display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 SoC, an Adreno 330 GPU, 2GB of RAM, OpenGL ES 3.0 graphics, a 12-megapixel rear-facing camera and a 2-megapixel front-facing shooter.

Motorola publicly announced last month in an AMA (Ask Me Anything) on Reddit that the new Moto X would be arriving in stores in ‘late summer’. So, we shouldn’t have too much longer to wait.

Be sure to check back for more information, as we’ll let you know the latest news about the handset as and when it breaks.
