Around the end of June some official press photos surfaced showing us what to expect, and earlier this week we received a leak that shared some of the biggest news yet.

This morning Motorola officially confirmed when the Moto G will be announced, and possibly released. The company started sending out invites for a Moto event on July 28th, and hinted that smartphone buyers will be changing their relationship status soon. It's an odd way to tease the event, but it ended with Moto saying "XOX, Moto". However that XOX actually looks like "XGX" hinting at a new Moto X or two, and of course the Moto G that has leaked time and time again. We know the new Moto G and most likely the Moto X will both be announced on July 28th live online, in New York City, and a few other events around the globe.
