Motorola CEO: Don't worry, cheaper Moto X in the works
Motorola will have a less expensive Moto X for the U.S. prepaid market and developing markets within a few months, the company's said Thursday after the Moto X launch event in New York City.
by Marguerite Reardon
A cheaper version of the Moto X will be introduced in the coming months for the U.S. prepaid market as well as for developing markets, where phones aren't usually subsidized by carriers.
NEW YORK CITY -- Price-sensitive consumers may be turned off by the $199 price tag of a Moto X with a two-year contract. But a cheaper version of the product is likely on the horizon.
In an interview with CNET Thursday, Motorola Mobility CEO Dennis Woodside said that the flagship Moto X is just one of many new devices coming out under the Moto X brand in the coming months.
Motorola announced the new flagship Moto X at an event here on Thursday. The company said the 16GB version of the device would be available with a two year contract from each of the four main wireless operators -- AT&T, Verizon Wireless, Sprint and T-Mobile-- for $199. It will also be available for that price on regional carrier, U.S. Cellular network. The company hasn't yet disclosed how much the device will cost at full price with a contract on one of these carrier networks.
All about the Moto X
In many cases, the best smartphones retail for $600 or more. Finding devices that are priced much lower is difficult and consumers often have to make sacrifices in quality, he said.
"The experience of devices you can get for less than $200 is subpar right now," Woodside said. "We want everyone to have access to affordable smartphones."
Woodside said that in developing markets, where devices aren't generally subsidized by wireless operators, consumers are especially price-sensitive. But he also noted that the U.S. prepaid wireless market, which is growing fast, is also ripe for new, lower cost devices. He said that right now customers are being asked to buy two or three year-old technology just to be able to afford a smartphone on a prepaid plan.

Other handset makers, such as Samsung, have begun introducing lower cost versions of their flagship devices for these markets. For example, the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini is one such device.
And there have been rumors that Apple may also introduce a less expensive iPhone for developing markets. It's unclear if such a device will be introduced and if it is, whether Apple will make it available for prepaid carriers. For most people wanting a less expensive version of the iPhone means buying an older version of the device.
Woodside said he wants Motorola to be able to offer cutting edge technology at an affordable price, so that cost-conscious consumers don't have to choose between spending a lot of money on a device or buying older, outdated technology.
"Buying a new iPhone at full price for a prepaid service costs quite a bit of money,especially families who are buying devices for multiple people," he said.
Nokia is trying this same approach with its Lumia line of products. And so far the company is seeing strong demand for its low-end Lumia 520 and Lumia 521, which use the Microsoft Windows Phone 8 operating system. The Lumia 521, which is sold without a contract on T-Mobile, costs less than $200. It has been selling out at T-Mobile and through re-sellers, such as Wal-Mart almost on a weekly basis since it was introduced this spring.
Woodside wouldn't give specifics of which features would still be included in a cheaper Moto X or when such a device would hit the market. But he noted it's coming.
"Moto X is the brand that we are most focused on," he said. "And there is more to come. You will see additional products within months."

Good News! The Moto X Will Have a Stock Android Google Play Version

Moto X Hands On: Forget Specs, This Thing Is Awesome
It's been no secret whatsoever that the Moto X was coming, but now it's finally here. It's the first cross-carrier hero phone out of… Read…
The Moto X is actually pretty awesome all on its own. But super nerds can be happy it's also going to come in a baby-fresh stock-Android-having Google Play version, with zero bloatware, and available directly from Google. It's a trend we continue to be real happy about.
Google Edition Phones Aren't the Answer You Were Hoping For
Google Editions of the HTC One and Samsung Galaxy S4--phones devoid of manufacturer skins, running pure Android--were supposed to be the solution to… Read…
The Galaxy S4 and HTC One are both available over Google Play already. And unlike those, the Moto X already runs a form of basic Android—as opposed to HTC Sense, Samsung TouchWiz or even Motorola's old Blur and whatever the hell they called it after blur—albeit 4.2.2 instead of the new 4.3. And while these Google Play versions maybe aren't getting Day One updates to new software, just having them around is nice enough as an option.
The Play version is necessary because carriers can still bloat up the phone, despite the fairly slim software load Moto stuck on the X. It's probably safe to assume, though, that the Play X will retain the cool features like always-on Google Now recognition, though. No word on pricing just yet, but the word is that it'll be just the 16GB version when it hits. [Verge]
