Google Moto X Phone Leaked Features and Demo by Roger Labs

It appears that someone's got their hands on Rogers' upcoming commercial for the new Google Moto X smartphone from Motorola. This leaked commercial reveals that users can begin interacting with their phone just by saying, "OK Google Now," without touching the phone at all. The camera can also be activated simply by flicking the wrist twice. The Rogers commercial was originally leaked on Google+. It's only a matter of time before the video is taken down.

The voice-command to activate the surface is similar to that used with Google Glass. Users of the wearable tech activate Google Now by saying ‘OK Glass’. Siri offers a similar service, but requires users to tap the homes screen button to activate it.

Other features of the upcoming Moto X include ‘active updates’, a new system of personalised notifications (“Instead of a blinking light that doesn’t actually tell you anything, information quietly appears on the screen”), and a gesture-based camera interface:

“Moto X can also launch the camera in a flash – no need to press a button or slide an icon, just twist your wrist twice and it’s ready to shoot.”

Although no hardware specifications have yet been released Motorola have promised that the handset will compete with flagship products from Apple and Samsung.

In the first official advertisement for the Moto X that ran at the beginning of this month, Motorola played up the fact that the phone will be largely assembled in the US – an implicit attack against Apple, who manufacturer their devices in China – whilst promising that the handset would be “designed by you”.
