There have been several rumors in the past about Motorola's plan to enter the phablet making industry. Unless the leaked image is proven authentic, it will be difficult to establish the device's physical attributes.
At first glance, it can be said that the device has a screen that is definitely larger than the 5-inch Nexus 5 of Google. The resolution appeared to be in full HD and speculated to belong in the Super AMOLED screen genre.
In the past, people have been talking about the upcoming Moto X+1 and how its screen will be larger than the 4.7-inch screen display of its older sibling, the Moto X. It is speculated to run on the Verizon network. However, there's no way yet to confirm if the device is a Droid which is scheduled to launch during the upcoming fall season.
Past leaks also describe the phone to have a bezel-icious display with a forward facing speaker similar to its other sibling, the Moto E. There are also holes found at the rear believed to be used as a mic for video recording. However, it doesn't have the ubiquitous LED flash on the rear.
Probing further, the device seemed to be running Android L which is the next iteration in Google's mobile operating system. Unveiled just recently on June 25, 2014, the new OS is scheduled to have a manufacture release in the latter part of 2014.
If this is true, the leaked device will feature the Android L's redesigned user interface which shall be equipped with a responsive design language dubbed as "Material Design." It will have an enhanced notification system that would defy the device's locked screen anytime when trying to gain access. The same notification will also be displayed across the device's top part of the screen. Internally, the Dalvik-designed platform is replaced with the Android Runtime that will greatly improve the device's app and battery performance.
Employees from Motorola have so far confirmed that the device is "legit." However, they didn't disclose if it is indeed the upcoming Moto X+1 or a different label which Motorola plans to launch within the year. Perhaps what consumers can assume for now is that the company is using the device as a prototype in order to allow manufacturers to have a first look. By doing so, it can be open for testing and debugging which can be really useful in time for its anticipated release.
