Everything we’ve seen ahead of the Moto X’s official unveiling suggests Motorola’s upcoming flagship will offer a software experience that isn’t too far off from stock Android. However, Motorola looks poised to deviate from Google’s path with at least one key application: the camera. Newly leaked screenshots obtained by Android Police reveal the user interface of the Moto X camera app, and it’s radically different from anything we’ve previously seen from Motorola — or Google.

Rather than tapping the screen to adjust settings, the app seen here makes heavy use of swipe gestures.

Other images confirm that you’ll be able to immediately pull up the Moto X camera with two rapid flicks of your wrist, and quick toggles for audio recording and geotagging are also visible. Swiping from the right quickly brings up the system gallery, a shortcut that’s been incorporated in stock Android for some time. With Motorola set to reveal the Moto X on August 1st, we’ll be seeing the full capabilities of this camera before long.
