Nexus X/Moto S passes through the FCC

A mystery Motorola device has just passed through the FCC today. We're not exactly sure what it is, but the evidence available limits the possibilities of what it could be to just two devices: the Moto S or the Nexus X. Both devices need to pass through the FCC before release, but neither one is expected to be released anytime soon.

The fact that it is a Motorola device is pretty easy to note, because the filing is directly attributed to Motorola. The reason why we believe it to be either the Nexus X or Moto S is because of the dimensions listed in the filing, which show the device height to be 140 mm (5.51-inches), the width is 72.6 mm (2.86-inches), and the screen diagonal is 149 mm (5.87-inches). The only Motorola devices in the pipeline at 5.87-inches (aka 5.9-inches) are the Moto S and Nexus X (which are essentially the same device). 

Of course, passing through the FCC doesn't have any real correlation that would indicate this device is near release. From what we know, the Nexus X is planned for a quiet release around Halloween, and there has been no word on when the Moto S would be released, but it is planned before Christmas.
