As with its predecessor, the new phone will be available exclusively with Verizon in the US, from this summer, in a choice of lunar gray and fine gold colours. It will launch later in the summer on Motorola.com for USD 499. The phone launches first in Brazil, for BRL 1,999 from 01 June, and will be available globally later this month. The new Moto Mods will launch later this summer, costing USD 40-80.
The new Moto Mods which snap onto the phone include the Moto GamePad, with dual control sticks, D-pad, four action buttons and a 1035mAh.
