The Moto X is finally here, as Motorola took the wraps off its hotly anticipated new smartphone at an event on Thursday.
The new smartphone, which has been talked about for months, marks the official relaunch of the handset maker Motorola, since it was acquired last year by tech giant Google.
The new device, which will be Motorola's flagship smartphone, marries Motorola's history of hardware and design innovation with Google's software and services chops to create a new device franchise that Google hopes will rival that of Apple's iPhone and Samsung's Galaxy series of smartphones.
