[h3]In addition, sensors and new software services are outlined by alleged insiders[/h3]
Sources at ABC News say they have confirmed details of
the upcoming Moto X
, and have outlined the supposed customization options. While many were hoping for things like choosing the internals, things are sounding more realistic -- at least according to ABC's sources.
Through a website, buyers will be able to select from a palette of different colors. One color can be used for the back case and another can be selected for the trim of the phone. Users will also be able to engrave a name or message on the back cover as well as upload a personal photo through the site to be used as the wallpaper on the phone's screen, according to people familiar with the rollout.
In addition, they say the phone will be running
Android 4.2.2
, which is currently being tested by U.S. carriers. The device is said to be available for purchase online as well as from carrier stores, though no pricing details were mentioned.
More interesting is the alleged confirmation of the new sensors and "smart" technology Motorola will be building into the device. Examples given were flicking the phone to open the camera app, extended voice recognition services, and the ability to sense when you're driving and activating the speaker phone.
This may not be as "fully customizable" as people wanted or as we were led to believe by
Motorola's recent ad
, but be honest -- an Android Green version with a Lloyd engraving would be sweet. Where do I sign up?

And just like that we're seeing what's supposedly some of the custom colors that Motorola will be offering for the upcoming Moto X phone. Earlier we passed along the news that sources at ABC say the customization options
consist largely of colored shells
, and the French blog
NoWhereElse
has scored some images.
Their source says there will be a total of 16 different colors to choose from, including subdued tones like blue and more bold colors like the ones pictured. We can only assume that the front facing shell will be using the same palatte if these photos are accurate. Hit the break to see two more pictures.
