Moto X+1: Motorola’s next phone to skip a key feature?

With its Moto E and Moto G, Motorola has been primarily focusing its efforts on budget phones.

Now, it looks like the company is preparing to release its next major flagship, which will supposedly be called the Moto X+1.

Brazilian website Livraria Logos claims to have leaked a full list of hardware specifications for the Moto X successor. Based on the specs, it looks like we can expect a significant bump up in terms of hardware quality for the Moto X+1.

But there’s one element that seems to be noticeably absent. There’s no mention of Motorola’s touchless voice controls on the Moto X+1, which was the big selling point behind the Moto X.

The Moto X comes with a language processor that enables the phone to hear your questions and commands intuitively. You don’t need to press a button, phrase your question in a particular way, or even wake the screen with the Moto X.

Of course, we won’t know exactly what to expect until an official announcement, and there’s plenty of reason to be sceptical of this report.

Still, Droid-Life points out that the website did correctly leak details about the Moto E before it was unveiled.
