Moto X: The First-Ever U.S.-Assembled Smartphone

Motorola says it's new flagship device, Moto X will be assembled in the U.S. manufacturing facility. The Moto X will go on sale this summer.

The new factory will create 2,000 jobs and will be owned and run by Flextronics International Ltd., a Singapore-based contract electronics manufacturer that has had a long relationship with Motorola.

In December, Apple Inc. said it would move manufacturing of one of its existing lines of Mac computers to the U.S. this year, reversing decades of increasing outsourcing.

Some other manufacturers, such as Hewlett-Packard Co., have kept some PC assembly operations in the U.S.
