The preparation for the Moto X 2016 release date plans appears to be in full swing as the flagship models from last year are getting significant price cuts from the original mark - up to $125 a pop. The Moto X 2015 Pure Edition is down to $350, which likely signals Motorola's intention to clear out inventory and make way for the incoming fresh shipments.
The subject of the irresistible discounts is the Moto X PE Jonathan Adler Collection, which according to Phandroid is down from $474.99 to $349.99. The white-faced handsets bear the signature Jonathan Adler minimalist design that the report said is somewhat underwhelming for most buyers.
However, the specs and features stuffed on the Moto X international release (the U.S. version is known as Moto X Style) make the Motorola deal, which appears to be permanent, a steal with 32GB of built-in memory. And as listed by GSM Arena, takers will get to take home a package loaded with specs and features that 2015 smartphones have to offer.
The power inside of last year's Moto X is a Snapdragon 808 and 3GB of RAM with an Adreno 418 GPU fueling the supersized 5.7-inch screen with 2560 x 1440 resolution and pixel density of 520ppi. The 32GB storage capacity can be expanded by up to 128GB.
The Moto X camera combo is among the best of last year as the main shooter is equipped with a 21-megapixel and the front at 5-megapixel. The system comes with mostly all the bells and whistles seen in flagship camera smartphones introduced in 2015.
So there is little doubt that the Moto X 2015 will deliver the most bang for the bucks but as indicated above, its price tag getting seriously lopped off points to the imminent release of the 2016 refresh. And it might be a good idea to hold out for a bit more time.
For those patient enough, the reward is the Moto X 2016 jam-packed with best of things to expect this year - headlined by what seems to be shaping as the favored workhorse of Android flagships, the Snapdragon 820 that likely will get a RAM bump of up to 4GB.
The next Moto X is a slight screen downsize at 5.5-inch but the panel screams of 2K Quad HD resolution and everything is fired up by a massive 3630mAh battery pack. Rumors said the camera package will remain the same - 21MP on rear and 5MP on front - but with the necessary hardware and software shooting improvements.
Yet the best thing about the soon-to-happen Moto X 2016 release date is the likelihood that it will unbox at no more than $400, perhaps even cheaper than the 2015 model, plus the high chance of rocking Android N or version 7.0 right out of the box since Google has already indicated that the OS could come out as early as July.
