Hours after Motorola ran the first print ad for Moto X smartphone highlighting the “Designed by you” part, the details about customisability of the phone have emerged. While, you may be hoping to change processor or RAM or even camera, Moto X will only allow you to customise the colours of the phone and get it engraved, reports Joanna Stern of ABC News.
According to Stern, sources close to Moto X roll-out have told her that consumers will be able to order personalised Moto X smartphone from the company website, while the standard versions will be on sale via carrier stores.

Buyers will also have a choice to get the phone engraved with a name or message on the back cover of Moto X.

ABC News also notes that Moto X will run on Android 4.2.2 and come with some cool software and hardware tweaks that will allow consumer to open the camera app by just flicking the phone. The phone also reportedly includes advances voice capabilities and it will even detect when the phone is in moving car and automatically launch speakerphone.
