Motorola Working on Two High-End Smartphones With QHD Displays: Report

Motorola has been rumoured to be working on its 2015 flagship handset that will see light of the day later this year. Following on such reports, a new report has surfaced with the purported specifications of two well-endowed Motorola handsets.

Codenamed 'Clark' and 'Kinzie', both the Motorola smartphones are said to be targeted at the premium segment. Both these smartphones are said to being tested currently in or around Chicago. According to the purported specifications leaked on a Reddit post, the Motorola 'Clark' will feature a QHD (1440x2560 pixels) display; 560dpi; a Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 processor (last seen on the LG G4), and will run Android 5.1.1 Lollipop. The Reddit post claims that the Motorola 'Clark' will come with model name XT1578 or XT1097 and will be available via Verizon Wireless.

The Motorola 'Kinzie', on the other hand, is also said to feature a QHD (1440x2560 pixels) display; an octa-core Snapdragon 810 processor; 640dpi, and also run Android 5.1.1 Lollipop. It is also said to be available via Verizon Wireless.

In another leak, the Motorola 'Kinzie' is rumoured to feature a 5.43-inch QHD display and will be the company's first phone with unbreakable screen. The rumour claims that the handset will use the full version of the plastic lens.

All these leaks should be taken with a pinch of salt as Motorola has not mentioned anything about the upcoming device and the legitimacy of the leaks remains questionable.

Lenovo-owned Motorola Mobility is expected to launch successor to its Moto X (Gen 2) flagship in/ or around September, if Rick Osterloh, Motorola President, is to be believed.

In March, Osterloh in an 'Ask Me Anything' session on Twitter confirmed that the Lenovo-owned company tries to maintain an annual product cycle. This implied Motorola can be expected to unveil the next-generation Moto X around September, which was when the Moto X (Gen 2) was launched last year.
