Report: Specs for Made-in-USA Moto X Leaked
Details about the device are leaking out ahead of the August 1 reveal.
Invitations for the Moto X launch event went out on Friday morning. The event itself will be held in New York City and is set to take place on August 1. The invitations followed a tweet from Motorola that revealed the phone would be built in the United States. What's more, it contained a cryptic clue that customers would be able to customize their own handsets. What Motorola hasn't revealed are the specifications for the phone. Luckily, with the launch still a fortnight away, the rumor mill has plenty of time to fill the gap with leaks and speculation.
Today brings us some of the former with specs courtesy of a source of The Verge's. The Verge writes that this person has handled a CDMA version of the phone and revealed that it is based on a dual-core Snapdragon (1.7 GHz), has 2GB of RAM and is roughly 4.5 inches in size. This source also mentioned a 'removable Kevlar rear shell.' He also confirmed some details on the software, which is 'almost stock' Android, including the wrist-flick camera activation and 'OK Google Now...' voice commands that were mentioned in the Rogers video from last week.
Not a lot, but more than we had before. Other rumored specs include support for 4G LTE, 16 GB of internal storage, a 2MP camera on the front, a 10MP camera on the back, and Jelly Bean. August 1 can't come soon enough!

2Gigs of ram is matched already. When 2.2GHz dual core drops in, I'm done for.

What about 2.2 quad core? http://www.qualcomm.com/snapdragon/processors/800

Yeah, but ghz doesn't mean much.When they're all at 1.8 ghz, the intel core i5 3317u is twice as fast as a celeron, which is at least twice as fast as this dual core soc. Architecture and speed are equally important.
Sorry if I sounded preachy.

Yeah I know GHz aren't everything, an i7 clocked at 2.2 would destroy the 800. But just throwing it out there that a quad core 2.2 - 2.3 ARM SoC exists.
S800 would have had to be shipping 4+ months ago to make it into this phone. Only google has made a device in under 5 months AFAIK. It took 4.5 or so from chip at the doorstep to nexus 7 coming out with T3. I hope Nexus 10r2 keeps to the Nov schedule as that will mean it could have T4 inside
I have no intention of buying a next gen console. I'll take a tablet this year and T5 Shield next year to get my PC's Maxwell GPU to TV (assuming Q1 on maxwell, after that I'll get shield's next rev to get it to my TV) and occasional portable gaming out of the house with android. Heck they got some good games coming I'll want to play even from android on the TV I suppose. I'm guessing next years version will be 1080p T5. No consoles past xbox360 for me.
I'm kind of shocked this phone is only 1.7ghz though. If it's a dual core why isn't this 2.3ghz or something? This is too slow. I'd rather wait for a T4i quad a9r4. It's 1/2 the size of Tegra3 and will blow it away in both gpu and cpu not to mention having great battery life. A dual core S4 (S600 based?) in a FLAGSHIP model @1.7ghz?? Seriously? FAIL. These better be $200, as T4i is aimed at $100-200 phones and seems to blow this way. The only thing good here is 10m camera.

This thing gets some awful scores. This is no flagship and they're supposedly spending 500million to market it? It will take that much to sell any of these...LOL. T4i should beat this in just about everything and be far less money. It looks like they'll be slapping a $450-550 price on this (more?). I'm unimpressed. Galaxy S4 has been out for 4 months and this is slower. A flagship at this point should have at least an S600 quad core.
