How to Root the Motorola Motoluxe

The Motorola Motoluxe smartphone arrived in the first month of the year and with that, it brought an option for the smartphone buyers who are looking for a middle-range device that could help them with their work. Featuring a 800MHz processor and Android Gingerbread onboard, it lets you perform all kind of your office as well as personal work on it. If you’re a game lover, you’ll find this device a bit disappointing as it can’t run resource-intensive games.
