Motorola has introduced a keenly-anticipated Moto X smartphone in a move aimed at reviving the withered mobile device maker bought by Google for $12.5 billion.
The Android-powered phone is the first Motorola smartphone created in collaboration with Google since the Internet titan completed its purchase ofMotorola Mobility in May of last year.
The Moto X, due for US release in late August, could be a formidable foe in a global market dominated by Samsung, the leading maker of smartphones built with the Google-backed software.
It will also be available at that time in Canada and Latin America
"This was the kind of thing I think Samsung was most worried about," said independent Silicon Valley analyst Rob Enderle of Enderle Group.
"On paper, this is arguably the best Android phone on the market," he added. "This is going to upset Samsung and the other licensees quite a bit."
