Leak: Here’s our first look at the next iteration of the Moto X

We’re less than a week away from Motorola’s product announcement event in New York City but some images of what we can expect have already been leaked. The next iteration of the Moto G is the most obvious announcement that we can expect, but people were less certain about a new Moto X being announced. However, it looks like a third-generation Moto X will be on the list after all, as a man by the name of Paul Faz managed to get his hands on one and shared some pictures.

Next Tuesday, Motorola is going to show off new products to us at an event in New York. Some of us think we’ll only get a new Moto G (3rd gen), while others are hopeful that a new Moto X (3rd gen) will join the party as well. For those on the new Moto X wagon, we present to you the photo below, which is purportedly of the front of the device, fitted with all the marks necessary to get someone fired. Is it the real deal? I don’t know, but I kind of hope so. The photo comes courtesy of a guy on G+ named Paul Faz, who included accompanying text of “Moto X 3rd generation front flash.” That does appear to be a flash in the top right corner, and yes, early rumors for the new Moto X did suggest that it may have a front-facing flash. Other than that, we are seeing a similar shape to the past couple of Moto X phones, though hopefully the front speakers are actually stereo this time around. There is little bezel, a familiar boot animation, and what is more than likely some shine off of a metal frame.
