There’s still no official date for when we can expect Google’s upcoming flagship smartphone, the Moto X, but given how quickly the leaks are coming, it appears that we’re getting close. In fact, the latest rumors claim we’ll see something new from the company’s $12.5 billion Motorola acquisition as soon as next month.

The only official details about the Moto X come from Motorola CEO Dennis Woodside, who said the device would be out before October, would have sensors to make it “contextually aware” (meaning it could adjust itself based on what you’re doing with it), and would be the first smartphone built in the US.
