We’re just a few short days away from the official launch of Motorola’s new Moto X smartphone, the first handset that parent company Google had a hand in developing. The device will be assembled in the U.S. and backed by a massive $500 million marketing campaign, and it may start at just $299 off contract. As new details continue to leak leading up to Thursday’s announcement, Fanatic Fone has managed to get its hands on the front plate from the upcoming Moto X, which a leak from earlier this week revealed is called “Magic Glass.” BGR will be reporting live from the Moto X launch event on Thursday but in the meantime, several high-quality photos of the new Magic Glass from Motorola’s upcoming hero phone follow below.
