(Reuters) Google has revealed that it has two new sophisticated Android smartphones in the works, one of which will have the unprecedented distinction of being made in the United States.

Pichai made the disclosure a day after Motorola Mobility head Dennis Woodside said on the same stage that the company's was preparing to release its first smartphone since being bought by Google. The smartphone would be called Moto X and be made in a facility near Fort Worth, Texas, Woodside said. "It is the first smartphone that is going to be built in the United States," Woodside said, noting that the plant would employ about 2,000 people by August. "We think that it is going to allow us to innovate and iterate that much faster." Components for Motorola smartphones will come from Taiwan, South Korea, the United States and elsewhere with about 70 per cent of the assembly done in Texas, Woodside said. Moto X would set itself apart from other smartphones with advanced use of sensors such as gyroscopes and accelerometers to make devices adapt to the conditions or circumstances in which they are being used, Woodside said. "It knows it is in my pocket or out of my pocket, and can anticipate use cases so it knows when I may want to take a picture and fires up the camera," Woodside said, declining to show the smartphone on stage. ... contd.
