Motorola seems to be readying three new smartphones with some pretty unique codenames. It's unclear whether these will be the first smartphones to be released as the offspring of Google's acquisition of Motorola. The smartphones have some interesting codenames: "Ghost," "Yeti," and "Sasquatch." Let's take a look at what we know about each one:
The Motorola "Ghost" is believed to be the smartphone in the picture that leaked last week claiming to be the X Phone or Motorola NXT. The smartphone goes by model number XT912A. A benchmark has leaked showing the device is currently out in the field being tested for use on AT&T's network. The smartphone features a 1.7GHz Snapdragon S4 Pro (MSM8960) quad-core processor, it will have a 720p HD display, it will have on-screen buttons, and is running Android 4.2.1 Jelly Bean.
There is not much known about the "Yeti" and it looks like this is a future smartphone that is also being tested by AT&T. The only information ascertained from the leaked benchmarks show the smartphone is AT&T-bound and is running Android 4.2.
The Motorola "Sasquatch" popped up on 0xbenchmark a few days ago. The only information to be obtained was that the smartphone will be running Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean and is currently being tested by AT&T. According to Blog of Mobile it appears that all of these smartphones could make their way onto all four carriers in the U.S., possibly going by different names depending on carrier.
There have been rumors that the X Phone will come in multiple models, and be built to order. Could it be true of these smartphones? We'll probably have to wait until Google I/O in May to find out the full details.
