A new report cites insider sources to detail Motorola's smartphone
roadmap for the rest of 2014, and claims that the company is likely to
debut 8 new devices before Christmas.
Quoting sources at Motorola, TK
Technews in a report claims that the company is planning to launch the
Droid, the Droid Maxx, the recently leaked
Droid Turbo, the long-rumoured Moto X+1, the Moto G (likely referring
to the successor of the Moto G), the Moto X Play, the Moto S and the
much-anticipated next Nexus smartphone codenamed 'Shamu' before the end
of the year.
According to the report, the rumoured Droid and Droid Turbo will likely debut on AT&T
with new branding; the alleged Droid device is said to be tied with an
upcoming Star Wars movie, and lastly, the alleged Moto X Play might be launched as a mini-variant of the Moto S.
The report further
details that how some of the rumoured Motorola devices are related to
others. Reportedly, if the Moto X+1 does not perform well in terms of
sales then the alleged Moto S sporting a 5.9-inch display could be
scrapped and the alleged 5.2-inch Moto X Play would be launched as the
Moto S. This does not too much sense if as rumoured
the Moto X+1 comes with a 5.2-inch display - instead, Motorola will
probably scrap Moto X Play, and stick with the larger Moto S.
Earlier
this week, a Motorola handset dubbed Motorola XT1254 running on Verizon
and tipped to be called Droid Turbo was leaked in
some screenshots that listed the specifications of the device.
The
former Google-owned company has been rumoured to be working on a
'Shamu' codenamed handset for months now, believed to be the next Nexus smartphone that's expected to be called the Nexus 6.
Notably,
out of the rumoured eight devices said to debut before Christmas,
successors to the popular Moto X
and Moto G
- rumoured to be called
the Moto X+1 and Moto G2 respectively - are likely to launch at a
pre-IFA event on September 4.
On Wednesday, Motorola India also confirmed an
event on September 5 in the country, where the company is expected
to launch the successors of the Moto X and Moto G alongside its
much-awaited Moto 360 smartwatch.
