Motorola X Phone to Be Available on All Major US Carriers in July
The Motorola X Phone will become available on all major U.S. Carriers in July, according to a new report.
Various websites such as Tinhte and @Evleaks have leaked specifications and pictures of the smartphone and 9to5 Google has confirmed some of these rumors to be accurate thanks to the site's reliable inside source. 9to5 Google even had a picture of the X Phone posted up on the site that it was asked to take down.
The site's source also stated that there will be an LTE version that will be released on all four major U.S. carriers, and that it will come in over 25 different color options.

The bottom bezel will be remarkably small, judging from a drawing of the device leaked by Tinhte.vn. The display was originally estimated to be 4.7-inches, but the new report points to a slightly smaller 4.3-inch screen. The phone also appears to be a successor to the Droid Razr or Razr M with small bezels and extremely long battery life. The build of Android that will run on the device is not clear at this moment.
9to5 Google tried to make sense out of the 25-plus color options.
"Here's what we're thinking: Motorola is going to offer protective plates/skins in 25 colors from the point of ordering. 80-90% of people buy protection for phones so perhaps Motorola is owning this aspect of the device from the order and can provide an almost indestructible, perhaps water resistant customization," they speculated.
The site also predicts that those who are interested in the X Phone will hear more about it at the upcoming Google I/O event, despite other reports pointing to the device's unveiling being pushed back significantly.
