Moto X

Introduction

It’s truly yours

Moto X is designed by you and assembled by Motorola in the U.S. It responds to your voice - no touching necessary. Moto X is always ready to tell you what you need to know. Pick it up and Moto X is curved to fit in your hand. With a twist of your wrist, it becomes your camera. Once you turn it on, Moto X is ready to respond. Just talk.

The key word is assembled, the boards are manufactured in China.
