The Moto X 2017 will reportedly come with a reasonable price, premium features, and decent hardware.

The Moto X 2017 will sport dual rear camera, ultra-slim bezels, fingerprint scanner, a physical home button, metal design and 3D glass.

It does not appear to have a 3.5mm headphone jack, and the volume and power buttons are situated on the right side of the device.

Other rumored features of the Motorola smartphone include Turbo charging, Always-On voice assistant, AI integration, IP68 water and dust resistance, and a smart camera.

The upcoming smartphone was designed for people who cannot afford the pricey Samsung Galaxy S8 or Apple iPhone 8.

The Samsung Galaxy S8 smartphone was released in March this year.

Some of the features of the Samsung smartphone include a 5.80-inch touchscreen display, Samsung Exynos 8895 processor, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of internal storage, an 8 MP front camera for selfies and a 12 MP primary camera on the back.

The 2017 Moto X will reportedly come with decent hardware to fit its low price tag. It will feature a 3,800mAh battery, 64GB storage, Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 chipset, 4GB RAM, and a 5.5-inch screen, 9to5Google reported.

The upcoming Motorola device is expected to go head-to-head against the OnePlus 5 smartphone in terms of pricing. At present, there is no information on the launch of the Moto X 2017. There are, however, speculations that the device will be released this year.

The Apple iPhone 8 will likely be the most expensive iPhone to date. The base level iPhone 8 will reportedly cost $1,000.

The entry-level iPhone 8 (128GB of storage) will allegedly cost about $1,000, while the model with 256GB will carry a price tag of $1,099. 

Some of the features of the Apple smartphone include an A11 processor, 3D sensing, faster and better NAND/DRAM memory, biometric authentication, and 5.8-inch OLED display, MacRumors reported.
