Moto X+1 makes another sketchy appearance, this time enclosed in a case

Although Motorola has yet to formally announce the Moto X+1, we’ve seen our share of alleged photos and videos of this phantom smartphone. Today, however, we’re getting the clearest shot to date of the rumored handset, courtesy of @evleaks. Unlike previous sketchy images, this front and back pair of photos appear to be press renders of the Moto X successor dressed up in some type of case.

While cases can be annoying, at least the phone isn’t wrapped up in plastic wrap. In terms of hardware, not much is known, but rumor has it the X+1 is slightly larger than its predecessor and that it features a 1080p display. We’re not sure if Lenovo’s purchase of Motorola Mobility from Google is delaying this handset’s official reveal, or if other things are holding it up. Either way, it’s slowly becoming one of the worst kept secrets in the tech industry.
