The Moto X smartphone will soon became a reality from mere speculation. The official launch of the new mobile phone from Motorola Mobility is on Aug 1 in New York, according to Slashgear.

The media invitation, published by Slashgear, caps weeks of hints of the device, including a photo of Google Chair Eric Schmidt using the gadget.

The device will run on Google's next-generation Android software, have its unique set of sensors, will be customisable and good camera capabilities. It would be available in black, white and several other colours.

Ahead of the launch is a July 24 Google event, a media invitation to a breakfast with Android head Sundar Pichai, while a day earlier is the reported roll out of the Motorola DROID phones by U.S. carrier Verizon.

The latest leak of the DROID phones published by Slashgear, actually a combination of a photo and render, indicates the Kevlar body will continue. The rear back panel will be made of Kevlar, but Motorola appears to have added a red coloured stripe across the middle of its real back panel.

The Droid Ultra Maxx, one of the three models of Motorola phones coming out on Thursday, is speculated to have a 4.7-inch AMOLED 720 p HD screen, 1.7 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon quad-core processor, 2GB or RAM, 16GB/32GB of internal memory, a 10-megapixel camera with advanced imaging optics and a 3300mAG Li Ion battery.
