Little by little we are learning more details of the next Motorola flagship, this time thanks to its benchmark results, specifically Geekbench. Although not many details have been revealed, they are enough to know what we are facing: a terminal that aspires to the high range with its Snapdragon 801 processor.
This terminal is known by the code name Motorcycle XT1097 and it is precisely the one that has just appeared in a well-known benchmark, Geekbench, in which we can check some of the specifications that will be available in the Motorola Moto X + 1, one of the most anticipated terminals and with which the company is expected to continue growing as before. The truth is that at the moment we had some specifications in the air along with the different photographs that have been published over the weeks, but this time we are talking about something that is totally real thanks to the benchmark.
Geekbench and GFXBench results: what they reveal
In addition to Geekbench, the tokens of GFXBench for the model XT1097 reinforce the team's portrait: screen of 5,2 inches with resolution 1080p, CPU Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 at high frequency, Adreno GPU 330, and a photographic set centered on a main camera of 12 SM with autofocus y HDR, and a front of 2 SMThese lists also point to a minimum of 16 GB storage already the presence of advanced video functions.
Processor and graphics performance
One of the items confirmed in this performance test is its processor, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 –specifically the model MSM8974–, which has four 400 cores that will allow us to reach the 2,5 GHz when squeezing the terminal, while the GPU is, as usual, Adreno. To this we must add the 2 GB of RAM which have been rumored until now, which we had already indicated and which have now just been confirmed.
Beyond the raw data, the couple Snapdragon 801 + Adreno 330 has shown solid performance in daily load and in multiple measurements 3D games, with stable frame rates in complex scenes. The MSM8974-AC identifier appearing in benchmark listings suggests the 801's faster scaling, capable of sustaining demanding peaks without easily throttling the clock.
Display and multimedia experience
To complete these specifications, the Motorola Moto X + 1 is expected to bring with it a 5,2-inch screen with Full HD 1080p quality, a combination that prioritizes sharpness and efficiency. This panel, along with the graphical boost of the Adreno 330, translates into fluid content playback. 1080p and in very smooth system transitions.
Advanced recording support is also included in the performance listings: the rear camera of 12 megapixels with dual LED flash would be able to record video in 4K, while the frontal of 2 SM could capture 1080p. All of this, running on 4.4.4 Android KitKat in the tested prototypes, with the clean house experience and optimizations that have historically favored fluidity.
Cameras: 12 MP with 4K and 2 MP front
Cross-benchmark data points to a photography setup focused on sharp details and good response in varied scenes: the rear of 12 SM would integrate autofocus, HDR y double LED flash, while the front camera of 2 SM would cover high definition video calls. The possibility of record in 4K adds a plus for content creators and those who want to take advantage of UHD screens.
Storage, connectivity and battery
Beyond pure performance, the listings point to a minimum of 16 GB internal storage, with higher options expected depending on the market. In terms of connectivity, the presence of NFC, plus Wi ‑ Fi, Bluetooth 4.0 y A‑GPS, a complete package for mobile payments, wearable pairing, and precise navigation.
Finally, the battery will increase to 2.900 mAh, so we'll have more than enough battery life for the whole day. This balance between capacity, panel 1080p and an efficient SoC should deliver comfortable figures in mixed use with mobility, streaming and photography.
Motorola Software and Features
With 4.4.4 Android KitKat In test units, it is reasonable to expect an experience close to Pure Android and useful additions to the house: gestures for quick access to camera, controls by always active voice and smart on-screen notifications. These features, common in the range, generally provide immediate utility without sacrificing performance.
