Lenovo-owned Motorola Mobility will be
launching the next-generation Moto X
later this year, confirms the company's
president. Meanwhile, Motorola also
discarded any plans about launching a
tablet.

Rick Osterloh, Motorola' President, on
Wednesday in an 'Ask Me' session on
Twitter confirmed that the Lenovo-owne
company tries to maintain an annual
product cycle. This implies Motorola can
be expected to unveil the next-generatio
Moto X around September, which was
when the Moto X (Gen 2) was launched
last year.

A Twitter user asked, "Can we expect the
next generation Moto X to come out in
the same time-frame of the past two
years?" Osterloh replied saying, "We try t
stay on a roughly annual cycle for all of
our products including Moto X."

As of now, details about the successor t
the Moto X (Gen 2) are limited. To recall,
Motorola Moto X (Gen 2) was launched
last year at a starting price of $499.99
(roughly Rs. 30,200) for the unlocked
version. It arrived in India at Rs. 31,999.
The Motorola President was also
questioned about whether his company
has plans about launching a new tablet.

Another Twitter user asked him, "Will
Motorola get into the tablet space this
year?" To this, Osterloh replied, "On
Tablets, we don't have any plans, but
Lenovo has lots of great offerings here
(e.g., Yoga)." He was smart enough to
recommend parent company Lenovo's
tablet offerings. To recall, Motorola
Mobility was snapped up by Lenovo last
year for $2.9 billion.

A recent report suggested that Motorola'
Moto X (Gen 2) will soon start receiving
the Android 5.1 Lollipop update. The
update was tipped by the changelog
available on Motorola's website
