Motorola Moto X (3rd Gen) to Pack 5.5-Inch FHD Display, 21MP Camera, 3,600 mAh Battery

Motorola is rumored to launch a few Android smartphones in the next couple of days and the latest hearsay point to a Moto G (3rd Gen) unveil on July 28.

However, the US-based company might launch its next flagship smartphone as well, the Moto X (3rd Gen) on the same day, or around the same timeframe. Since we've only talked about the upcoming Moto G (3rd Gen) in the last couple of weeks, it's only fair that we now offer Motorola fans some information about Moto X (3rd Gen). The information comes via HelloMotoHK, a group with sources close to Motorola, which offers details on some of the company's upcoming products.

According to this group, Motorola Moto X (3rd Gen) is expected to arrive soon with Android 5.1.1 Lollipop operating system right out of the box. Hardware-wise, Motorola is determined to avoid the controversial Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor, which is why the Moto X (3rd Gen) will be equipped with a hexa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 CPU inside.

No Quad HD display, but a huge battery

Also, the Moto X (3rd Gen) won't be packing a Quad HD (2560 x 1440 pixels) display, instead Motorola is said to have opted for a 5.5-inch display that supports full HD (1080p) resolution. On the back side, the smartphone will feature a 21-megapixel photo snapper, though it's unclear whether or not it will include a Sony sensor. In the front there will be a 5-megapixel selfie camera. But the most appealing piece of hardware inside the Moto X (3rd Gen) is the 3,600 mAh battery, which is said to power the smartphone.

With that high-capacity battery and only a full HD display, the Moto X (3rd Gen) will sure get you through more than one day of full use. Last but not least, the same source confirms Motorola's Moto X (3rd Gen) will surely pack microSD card slot for memory expansion.
