Droid Ultra surfaces in leaked photo, model number hints at Maxx variant

Droid Ultra surfaces in leaked photo, model number hints at Maxx variant

If the signs of Motorola’s upcoming Droid refresh weren’t clear enough already, an in-the-flesh photo of what’s said to be the Droid Ultra XT1080 has surfaced on the XDA Developers forum, courtesy of xavierk75. Not only do an FCC filing and accompanying rumors peg the XT1080 as a Maxx variant with a beefier battery, but the picture lines up with the kevlar enclosure and trio of capacitive buttons shown in a press shot posted by @evleaks. Thanks to the device’s examination by Uncle Sam, we know that it carries radios for Verizon-friendly LTE, EV-DO Rev. A and WCDMA (850/900/1900/2100), in addition to NFC, Bluetooth 4.0 and WiFi 802.11ac, to boot. Once again, specs are still MIA, but they — or an official reveal — can’t be far off at this point.

Motorola ‘Droid Maxx’ image leaks out, could be extended battery version of Droid Ultra

Motorola 'Droid Maxx' image leaks out, could be extended battery version of Droid Ultra

Closing out a week full of Motorola leaks, @evleaks has posted this image of a device claimed to be the Droid Maxx, due on Verizon later this year and flashing a Kevlar frame with capacitive buttons. Earlier tweets and a source from Droid Life suggest this is the XT1080M, an extended battery version of the Droid Ultra (XT1080) that popped up on Motorola’s website. An XT1080 recently appeared in the FCC database as well, spurring rumors we’ll see more Droid-branded smartphones on the Big Red carrier very soon. To round out the rumors, the XT1030 is pegged as a Droid Mini, plus the XT1060 Moto X variant for Verizon. There’s still no word on specs, but at this rate we’ll probably have more info by tomorrow.
