Just recently we looked at some leaked, real-life images, of the upcoming 2015 Moto G, and what we have here (in the image above), might very well turn out to be the 2015 Moto X. We can’t say we’re skeptical but we’re a bit confused, as Motorola is preparing several handsets, according to some recent filings, as well as leaked images of backplates.

The original Moto X arrived back in 2013 as a very solid offering that helped define the new Motorola lineup going forward, but for as much as we liked the smartphone overall, its camera just wasn’t up to snuff. So when 2014 rolled around and we got to check out the new Moto X, we had high expectations that Motorola might have learned from its mistakes – and we still got a camera that left us wanting. ...
