" Google-owned Motorola is planning to launch its new flagship smartphone this autumn. The Moto X, a low-cost device produced in Texas, is the culmination of two years&amp;#039; work following Google&amp;#039;s purchase of Motorola in 2011.  The smartphone will head up a new range of handsets that will apparently be able to predict what their owner wants to do next using sensors. The phone would automatically launch the camera if it was removed from a pocket and held up to take a photograph, for instance. Few Moto X specs have been revealed, but it will have an OLED screen, long battery life and run Android. Motorola&amp;#039;s chief executive Dennis Woodside promised that the firm will bring &amp;quot;audaciousness&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;innovation&amp;quot; back to mobile phones with its new launches. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ll save the details for later, but [the issue of] battery life is a huge problem,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;Motorola has some of the world&amp;#039;s best engineers and systems designers who spend their lives on that problem. &amp;quot;There are two processors in the device that creates a system that allows you to do such a thing.&amp;quot; He continued: &amp;quot;One of the areas that we think is really open for Motorola is building high-quality, low-cost devices. &amp;quot;The price of a feature phone now is about $30 [\u00A320] on a global basis. The price of a smartphone is about $650. That is not going to persist.&amp;quot; Motorola will begin hiring for its new Texas factory in August. It claims the new devices will be the only smartphones produced in the US. &amp;quot;When your manufacturing is thousands of miles away from your engineers and your designers, you lose the ability to innovate, you lose the ability to make fast changes to how you&amp;#039;re manufacturing things,&amp;quot; Woodside added.
