Last year, Motorola’s Moto X might not have met with the level of success it hoped for but it did help the company in gaining some momentum and re-creating its brand image. The expectations from Moto X successor are pretty high and today, thanks to @evleaks, we have the first leak of the handset.
The leak reveals the name of the Moto X’s successor to be Moto X +1 (or + X 1), which is not really a simple as the former. The “coming soon” in the tweet means that Motorola might be getting ready to unveil the handset sometime over the next couple of months, which fits in perfectly with the summer launch time as Motorola had mentioned in a Twitter interview earlier.

Not much is known about the Moto X successor right now but keeping in with the trend expect Motorola to include a slightly bigger 5-inch 1080p screen, a beefier battery and a faster processor. What will be interesting to see is whether Motorola retains the near stock build of Android on the X +1 or goes with Lenovo’s UI. This will also be the company’s first product launch after it was acquired by Lenovo earlier this year.
