In the face of Lenovo’s and subsidiary Motorola’s major cuts in workforce and a redoubling of the latter’s brand on the mobile division’s output, this development came without warning. Yet, we’ve come to start relying on leakers who have begun building their credibility with us. Then again, a leak is a leak, so we should all be taking the grain of salt we’ve been prescribed.

Malaysia’s @upleaks on Twitter posted then removed a press photo of a Lenovo-branded phone dubbed the “Lemon X” that retains much of the current Motorola design language. The signature arcs at top and bottom edges, the back panel curve to the palm, an anodized metal island with the camera on top, LED flash mid-plate and, in lieu of a batwing symbol (Lenovo’s takes place below the island), what looks to be a fingerprint scanner right below. The display at front leaves cramped margin for the speakers and little else.

No other information came with the cryptic picture that may have gone private. Or, it could be a scrapped model that laid as a consequence of Lenovo’s mobile move towards Motorola.
