The Motorola X Phone release date seems to be set for August in international markets.

The device could launch in countries such as Brazil next month, according to a recent Twitter post by Motorola Brazil. An official date and other details were not mentioned, but August was thrown out there as the general time it will hit the market.

Canada will be offering the smartphone sometime soon as there was leaked Rogers video showing the device off. Teasers have also appeared on both the Brazilian and Argentinean Motorola sites that feature a black background with white text. To get a first look at screenshots of those teasers click here.

U.S. and Canadian pages also feature teasers that point to an August 1 release date for the smartphone.

Taylor Wimberly recently spilled the beans on the Moto X's Magic Glass display that features a Gorilla Glass sheet being molded to a special polymer. This results in a gap-free surface that wraps around the edges of the device. The phone will be made from laminated aluminum providing it with a light weight and high strength design. It is also expected to be customizable as users will be able to choose between a variety of materials for the Moto X including plastic, metal, wood, and carbon fiber.

Other specifications rumored for the device include a dual-core 1.7GHz Qualcomm S4 Processor with Adreno 320 GPU, 2GB RAM, a 4.7-inch HD display with 720x1184 resolution, a 2.1-megapixel front-facing camera, Android 4.2.2, JellyBean, 16GB of internal memory, NFC, and no microSD support.

It could also feature Motorola's X8 Mobile Computing System which will power the Droid Ultra, Droid Maxx, and Droid Mini.

The X8 features eight-cores with a dual-core CPU and a quad-core GPU.
