As Google and Motorola are working on a new device, dubbed “X Phone”, the question arises as to whether or not it would take on the likes of the Apple iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S4.
The Wall Street Journal reported a couple of days ago that Google and its recently acquired company, Motorola, are working on a phone together to take on rivals Apple and Samsung.
As details about X Phone are extremely scarce, speculation is that Motorola, known for its extremely durable designs, had been looking at using a flexible display for the device along with ceramic materials.
The materials would allow the device to come in different shapes, colors and also allow it to be more stress resistant.
Motorola also apparently wanted “top-notch features for the phone’s camera and photo software, such as better color saturation and the ability to take panoramic shots” though it appears that they were too much strain on the battery.
Motorola also evidently wants to enhance the phone with features derived from its acquisition of Viewdle including adding imaging and gesture-recognition software to what we assume will be some version of Android.
That isn’t set in stone either it seems because Google doesn’t want to anger other Android partners like Samsung, a company that sold over 30 million Galaxy S3′s since May.
No release date of the phone has been mentioned yet.
