Currently, the offer is available for US only, however every customized handset is to be made in the USA and shipped to customers within four days following confirmation of order.

The Motorola X8 Mobile System is responsible for Moto X build that comes with one core for language, one core for contextual processing, a dual-core Krait CPU clocked at 1.7 GHz with a power Snapdragon S4 Pro chipset and finally a quad-core Adreno 320 GPU. The core responsibility for language will deal with the voice command option added to Moto-X whereas the device’s sensors will be handled by the contextual processing core.
