There have been rumblings ever since Google purchased Motorola Mobility of a new kind of Android device that would result from the partnership. Called the X Phone, the rumored device (or device lineup) was said to be a close collaboration between Motorola and Google, but not an official Nexus device, since a Google/Motorola Nexus could be seen as a hostile move against other potential Nexus manufacturers.
The X Phone was mostly just speculation, with rumored specs ranging from a 4.7-inch to 5-inch display with 1080p, 12MP rear camera, and massive battery with a capacity around 3,000mAh. In fact, while some leaks suggested such a device, it wasn’t even clear whether it was an abandoned project, old codename, or really a new device. However, a job posting found today on LinkedIn has now confirmed that Motorola is working on the X Phone.
The job posting is for a Senior Director of Product Management to lead a team working on the X Phone project. Sadly, there aren’t any details about the phone in the posting, but we now know that the X Phone is at least real. Interestingly, though, the posting does mention familiarity with MotoBlur, which suggests that the device won’t run stock Android
Interestingly, this posting suggests a project in its early stages, which means that we likely won’t see the X Phone at Google I/O. Still, the project will likely produce an impressive smartphone, and I’m certainly interested in seeing what Google’s version of the smartphone looks like when it can control everything about it.
Well, if its got Motoblur…..just sounds like a spec’d up Droid Razor Maxx.
Stock android or no thanks.
Only Motorola can make me come back to Android,…this would do it. I can’t wait!!!
