Motorola is launching a new version of its Moto X smartphone, free from bloatware.

As Digital Spy reported citing The Verge, the Moto X Pure Edition will begin shipping unlocked sometime later in September.

Motorola's own website states that the device has a "balanced design, a pure Android experience, and enhanced voice control".

It will run the latest version of the Android OS, free from software skins.

Motorola is yet to reveal where the Moto X Pure Edition will be made available.

The first Moto X was released in the UK in February with a 720p 4.7-inch display and dual-core 1.7 GHz Snapdragon S4 Pro processor.
