Motorola X "Ghost" Photos Show The Phone, Benchmarks, And Pretty Much A Complete Set Of Confirmed Specs

We've seen numerous leaks of the Motorola X recently and even somealleged specs, but today we're going to put together what I'd argue is the most complete and confirmed spec sheet with every line proven by either a photo, a set of which we've exclusively obtained, or another credible piece of evidence. I mentioned some of these in the earlier post, but without any proof. So let's get to it:
  • A dual-core Qualcomm S4 Pro MSM8960DT 1.7GHz CPU, Adreno 320 GPU. I'm still not sure what the "d" stands for in the processor model number, but it's likely the same as MSM8960T - confirmed by our photos
  • 2GB of RAM - confirmed by our photos
  • 720x1184 4.7" (about 4.5" without on-screen buttons) display - confirmed by our photos
  • 2.1MP front-facing camera / 10.5MP rear camera with flash - confirmed by our photos
  • 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi (ac made it in, nice!) - confirmed by FCC docs
  • Android 4.2.2 on the unit being tested - confirmed by our photos
  • 16GB internal memory, 12GB of which is user-accessible (on the unit being tested) - confirmed by our photos
  • NFC - confirmed by our photos
  • 2,200 mAh non-removable battery - confirmed by FCC docs and first tipped off by @evleaks
  • XT1058 / "ghost" (this is the AT&T variant) - as shown in photos
  • 128.5mm x 65mm - confirmed by FCC docs
  • About 18.7K AnTuTu score - as shown in photos
  • About 7.1K 3DMark Ice Storm Extreme score - as shown in photos
There is no external storage (MicroSD slot) support, says our tipster. We've requested additional visual confirmation, but no memory slots were visible anywhere.

PhoneArena has a chart of a few other devices' AnTuTu scores - as you can see, the Moto X lands somewhere between the Note II and the G Pro, with the GS4 and HTC One leaving it far behind:

3DMark Ice Storm Extreme

As you can see, the Moto X absolutely destroys the competition in graphics tests, which is very impressive (the purple line is what we're comparing here). The S4 is missing from the chart, but this site has tested it, and it still comes in lower (6660 points). This is most likely due to 720p vs 1080p, meaning the phone has fewer pixels to manipulate on the screen compared to 1080p.
Update: It's been brought to our attention that Ice Storm Extreme runs all tests in 1080p and downscales the output for 720p screens. I'm not sure if having a lower-res screen positively affects the score in this case or not, but if it doesn't, the Moto X's graphics performance is that much more impressive.

That's all I have for you today, folks. We only have about 10 days to wait for the final announcement, so hang in there.

As I mentioned before, remember, Motorola wants this phone to be affordable, so it doesn't sport high-end flagship specs. It will try to make up for the lack of the latest and greatest hardware by being free from custom skin bloat, speedy, and having more context-aware features than any Android device in existence.
