While Motorola launched the latest 3rd gen Moto G here in India, the company announced two new variants of the Moto X internationally. The two phones announced earlier today have been named Moto X Play and Moto X Style. While the Moto X Play looks like a budget version of the present Moto X, the Moto X Style seems like an upgraded version to Motorola’s Nexus 6. Both phones will be available internationally later this year. Motorola has also stated that Moto X Style will be sold "unlocked" in the US, as Moto X Play.
