Further Motorola Moto X Leaks: OLED Display and Dual Core
More Twitter leaks detail the hardware expected of the Motorola Moto X.
Despite the mundane and generic naming scheme, Google has chosen to continue with its upcoming Motorola Moto X, according to some more leaks happening over Twitter. We already know the device will be shown in October and is to be manufactured in the U.S., as CEO Dennis Woodside revealed during the D11 conference back in May. This time we offer the latest volley of rumors listing actual specifications expected of the device.
The mid-range device would have a size somewhere between 4.5 to 5 inches, featuring a 720p OLED display that would utilize the edge-to-edge design. The CPU would be ARM's dual-core Krait processor clocked at 1.7 GHz, with 2 GB of RAM, on a MSM8960 Pro Chipset (which all translates to the SoC being the Snapdragon S4). The phone should come with 16 GB of internal storage, and the system on the rumored chip means that connectivity would include at least Bluetooth 4.0, dual radio WiFi and HSPA+. There is still much debate about the quality of the two cameras. The forward one would be placed at 2 megapixels, while the rear camera could range anywhere from 8 to 13 megapixels. As the launch date of the phone is close to Google's expected release of Android 5.0 "Key Lime Pie," the phone could even be one of the first prototypes running the new OS.
All these specifications are still speculation, though, so they should be taken with a grain of salt and a healthy dose of skepticism. In the meantime, we will keep you informed of any more interesting developments. Tell us what you think about these rumors and whether you think all these new phones being released lack essence, as few have key aspects that set them apart from the crowd.

Just make sure it has a microSD slot, great camera, decent screen and removable battery and my money is yours, Moto.
My S2 begs for an upgrade.
Cheers!
I'm auditioning an S4 and its screen (OLED?) may be the best I've seen on a phone. I'd love it if Samsung could marry a screen with that pixel density/quality to their Note 10.1. If OLED has shortcomings they're not evident in the S4's screen.
Here's what I've found with the AMOLED screen on my Galaxy Nexus - black levels are great, and it's more power efficient, but colors on those screens can be oversaturated (depends on how it's calibrated), and the screen wears unevenly - if I rotate my phone (which I rarely do), the left (normally top) side of it has a bluish tint. (note that it normally displays the black status bar on top - so most of those pixels aren't lit up)
Also, note that the S4's screen is pentile while the HTC One's isn't. I've played with both, and the One is noticeably sharper. (I could see the pixels on the S4 when I looked a little closer, though not as easily as with my gnexus. I couldn't from the same distance with the One though.)

You my friend have better eyes than me. The S4's screen is lazer sharp to my eyes and notably better than my Note 2 (which I think is about to be sold). I don't keep my phones too long. If I decide to stick with the S4 it may just be until the Note 3 is available. The S4's screen seems even better than the iPhone's (which I also appreciate).
