A less expensive, 3G alternative to the Moto X flagship could soon be at hand, according to recent reports. September 30, 2013 12:40 PM PDT Motorola's next smartphone could be a more affordable take on the Moto X experience. (Credit: FCC) The Motorola DVX could soon arrive as a lower cost alternative to the flagship Moto X experience, according to recent rumblings. Having recently passed through the FCC, the DVX documents show support for many GSM carrier's 3G networks. Nearly identical in form factor to the original Moto X, this phone is rumored to launch with Republic Wireless in October, in addition to the already-cheaper version of the Moto X that the hybrid carrier has vcommitted to sell. According to recent reports, the DVX will come with interchangeable backplates, but it's unclear whether the device comes with more than one backing in the box. A previous FCC filing for the DVX shows a variation with support for Sprint radios; Virgin Mobile and Boost Mobile could also be in line to carry the smartphone. That Motorola would introduce a new Moto X design so soon should not come as much of a surprise. Motorola CEO Dennis Woodside confirmed with CNET in August that a cheaper version is in the works.
