We’ve seen brief glimpses of the Moto X+1 in recent months, but the latest is a five-minute video that gives us a hands-on look at the device’s software and design changes. Although it isn’t vastly different from its predecessor, the device does appear to have slightly slimmer bezels and a more rounded form factor.
A Moto X is an excellent purchase at just $349.99 off-contract — especially when you get the option to customize the device to your heart’s content. If you’re clumsy, it’s even greater value for money, because Motorola provides all Moto X owners with a free one-time replacement when they smash their display.
The Moto X “Try Then Buy” promotion that allowed customers to sample the device for two weeks for just 1¢ has now ended after Motorola “sold all the Moto X phones allotted for this promotion.” The offer went live just this morning, but Motorola did state that it would only be available “while quantities last.”
It’s not all bad news, though; a new 64GB version of the Moto X is available now.
Following its introduction on the Moto E last month, Motorola has today expanded compatibility of its official Alert application to two more variants of its Android-powered smartphones — the Moto X and Moto G. For those unaware, Moto Alert is a traditional emergency tracker that, simply, ‘alert’s people important to you when you need them.’
Motorola has announced that it be holding a fire sale in the United States on the 32GB Moto X for the next two days (June 4-5), where it will be offering the handset at a $100 discount.
The company has been continuously holding flash sales and giving discounts on the handset since the last few months in a bid to revive its sagging sales.
