Motorola may bump the screen size to 5.5 inches for the next Moto X.

The other unique feature is a fingerprint sensor integrated into the bottom speaker. This would be a huge space saver give the phone a cleaner look compared to rivals. For example, the Galaxy S6 Apple’s ione have the fingerprint scanner integrated with a home button.

The bottom speaker may also contain a fingerprint sensor.

The back has a very textured look, though this could be one of several options as Motorola allows you to customize its phones with the Moto Maker tool. Additionally, the Facebook fan site reports the screen will be 5.5 inches, a bump up from the current model. The new device may also have a 2K display a 21 Mrear-facing camera.

y this matters: The front-facing flash fingerprint sensor/speaker combo would be some nice differentiators for the Moto X. ile Motorola has typically built solid phones with stock Android, we’re most curious about the camera quality. Both the current Moto X Nexus 6 suffer from sub-par shooters, which has kept them from getting our full seal of approval. If Motorola can solve this issue, the next Moto X could indeed be a tempting option.
