Moto X (Gen 3) to go official in August-September 2015

If you're one among the many Motorola Moto X fans out there, there's some pretty amazing news coming in for you. The fact that it's official makes it all the more exciting. Motorola has unwittingly announced its plans for its next generation Moto X handset, more importantly its possible launch timeframe.

Motorola's President, Rick Osterloh while answering a question on micro-blogging website Twitter as part of the #AskRickO initiative has spilled some candid beans about the Moto X (Gen 3). According to Osterloh, "Motorola will be trying to keep a roughly annual cycle for all its products, including the Moto X."

What this essentially means that we may see the next Moto X launch sometime in August or September of 2015, since the Moto X (Gen 2) was launched sometime around this period last year.

Sadly, details about the next Moto X's internal hardware and specifications are all but scarce at the moment. We did hear some time back that Motorola's next flagship will be powered by the Snapdragon 810 SoC. The Moto X (Gen 3) may end up being that flagship, but that's not a certainty.

We may see the advent of the Snapdragon 815 successor, even the Snapdragon 820 by the time Motorola comes out with the new Moto X and we may see it running either of the two processors. It's only fair that we take this information with a pinch of salt for now, but we'll surely be keeping you updated with whatever information creeps up as and when.

Talking about the Moto X (Gen 2), Motorola recently announced the latest Lollipop 5.1 update for the device and is in the process of gradually rolling out the update to its devices globally. The update is yet to reach India.
