Moto X 2014 Model to Feature Unbreakable Plastic, Wearable Motorola Devices Coming
The Moto X 2014 could feature unbreakable plastic, according to the company's CEO Dennis Woodsite.
The man at the helm of Motorola shared some information with the Associated Press regarding the company's plans for next year and his vision for the future of smartphones. When asked about what people would be wanting from their smartphones in years to come Woodside replied by pointing to newer unbreakable materials.
"Phones break. They're glass," he said. "That's likely to change in the next 24 months, as plastic becomes more present and producible."

He also touched on human interaction with the phone.
"You'll be speaking to (the) phone, asking it to do things, and it will be responding and actually doing what you intend, as opposed to you reading a command line."
Wearable smartphone-like devices will also be an area of interest, according to Woodside who feels that no other company has created the killer-use case that defines what that means and how that works.
All of these features could be implemented into the next-gen Moto G and Moto X.
Woodside also took the time to clarify Motorola's relation to Google and claims that both companies operate as separate entities despite the internet giant owning the electronics maker. He said that Motorola does not get access to Android code earlier than other OEMs, but did confirm that the Moto X received KitKat before the Nexus 4 got its over the air build.
Woodside acknowledged that for Motorola it doesn't matter if it is losing money because it is all part of Google's grand scheme of things which involves having people connected to the internet. Google paid 12.5 billion for the company and has lost $2 billion since the purchase.
