The Motorla X release date is expected to be to be at the end of July, as per an ad that Motorola released on July 4^th. Other features of the Motorola X are the always-on voice control features shown in the video, allowing the handset always being able to be given commands. It’s not clear if there is a way for the feature to be shut off or for the voice commands to differentiate between user commands and other people.

Another feature of the Motorola X is “Active Updates”. Which has on-screen notifications rather than the multicolor LED notifications most Android handsets have.

Some users have expressed concern about the impact on battery life of the Motorola X but CEO Dennis Woodside has promised that Motorola has found a way to make staggering improvements to battery life. It’s still not clear exactly how long we are talking but we would be interested to see what innovations Motorola has developed.
