A Preview of the Motorola Motoluxe
Described as a "hip, slim touchscreen device", the Motoluxe is a new fashionable new addition to the Motorola line-up.
The Motoluxe rocks a similar angular casing to the Motorola Atrix, with the addition of a "lightening effect" lanyard slot, which Moto claims will help you to see you've missed a call or received a text. It'll also be available in stylish Liquorice Black and White flavours, unlike its dual-core sibling.
A 4-inch 480 x 854 edge to edge screen sits within the phone's glossy black casing, offering one-touch access to its Gingerbread software. Of course, this comes skinned in Motorola's MotoSwitch interface, which offers-up features including Social Graph, Activity Graph and Smart Gallery.
Once the phone is released in February, media lovers can also take advantage of the phone's 8 megapixel camera with HD video, VGA front-facing camera and 1400mAh battery.
Other features of the Motoluxe include fast HSDPA and WiFi connectivity, up to 32GB of expandable memory, integrated GPS software and support for Adobe Flash Player.
Full specifications for the Motorola Motoluxe are still to be confirmed, but we'll update this with more details as soon as we get them.
A full review will be published here once the phone has been released.
