There is strength in simplicity...The photo module is designed in a traditional, square shape with rounded corners, contains two lenses and a dual LED flash. In the middle of the back is the Motorola logo. Simple, non-offensive and to the point. As for the specs, you zoomed in server TechOutlook and we can look forward to, for example, a 6.55-inch AMOLED panel with FullHD+ resolution and a frequency of 144 Hz.
