If they would rerelease this phone again with updated internals, bigger battery, double front facing stereo speakers, and same screen size, I would buy it in a heartbeat!!!
Hey Bro Err moto x pure
Yeah. Except the battery actually got worse.
I love this time of year! When all the new phones come out and theres a spam of videos showing off each one!
***** By spam i meant like A LOT of videos
When you said "okay Google Now" the video paused and my phone went to Google Now...
Camilo Morrice LMAO hahaha
Lmao same 😂
Dude, your videos are great to watch and always informative to the point that they are always a step ahead of others. I'm a subscriber for life. Thanks man.
Anyone else still using their 2014 X in 2017?
2018 still going. 😋
I bought a Nexus 6 in 2018 still a great phone better then the new iPhone X's max
@@robbyrabit running smooth with new apps?🙄🙄
2019 and going on... I replaced battery once and now works well for me.
Watching this on my Moto X2 in 2016 best phone I've ever had
me to Bro just bought it today and I'm so happy like it's better than my old S5
same here
what update you got ?
I'm on 6.0
6.0
are you able to turn off those light sensors off? do you noticed them when you use the phone? from watching your video I noticed them and its kinda annoying
***** thanks for the reply
Been looking forward to this phone for a while......watched your review several times because I really appreciate the polish and professionalism you put onto it and just wanted to say thanks. Great job as always! Now I just have to wait until I can get this on Verizon....ugh!
What I wonder is if those infrared sensors can be disabled. With the number of them and how active they appear to be, that could also be causing some notable battery drain.
There is probably a setting...
They're always on on almost all phones, so I don't see the problem.
Finally! The review I was waiting for. The things MKBHD said resonated well with me and I know I will love it...but that darn battery! Why Motorola Mobility? Why did you deprive us like that??
"Dat battery" was a deal breaker for me. 2.5 screen hours???
Alpha Rakama he's really heavy user
Malcolm Cosenza 2.5 hours screen time is still short battery life regardless. I typically use between 3-4 hours screen time on my HTC One M8 on a daily basis.
I almost always get a day plus on my battery so I'm hoping the tiny bump in size covers the screen upgrade and I'll be OK. What got me more concerned was the comment on the leather backs. But I'm still hyped can't wait to get mine _it's being assembled btw_
Yvette Mitchell I eagerly await your review...particularly the battery life.
Love how unbiased your reviews are. I tried to get this phone on cyber Monday but waited too long for the discount, so now I'm doing a lot of research before buying. If the nexus 6 wasn't a boat I would strongly consider it, I had the 4 it was amazing! My 1st gen moto x is getting old tho and I don't think I can leave the functional features I've gotten used to. The twist camera, talking to it without touching it, quick notifications, that's why I love this phone is all the cool features you actually everyday, they aren't gimmicks
Bro, you're probably My favorite review page to go to on youtube. All of your videos are in depth and very professional. You cover just about any question a normal user would ask. Just wanted to let you know that your work is appreciated.
As soon as he said OK Google, my phone reacted to it hahahaha
Mine too
Dat resolution right now though haha
***** you should just let the video on private for a few mins to get the HD kick in
hackableification or nahhh!
I have no problen with the resolution
*tho
***** Why did you have to bring race into this. Now there are going to be arguments about religion on a tech video.
Nice in depth review!
Also like that you guys show various colors and versions of the phone. Good job!
The soundtrack at the beginning is Awesome man!!!! Love your videos. Keep up the good work Marques!!
When you said ok google now my goolge now poped up lol
Lol!
ME TOO
Well if anyone says google now from anywhere on my gs4 it opens up
Lol same here on my nexus :D
Too much clutter on the front of the phone design-wise, in my opinion. The back looks sexy though, goddamn.
Dak souls
Not as sexy as your voice, Vaati. Mmm...silky......give us silky....give us smooth. Okay I'm done.
Yea, that wood backing, just, oooooooo so nice.
Hey MKBHD, to this date this remains my favorite phone review. It was this video that convinced me to buy the 2014 moto x, which I'm still convinced was the best phone ever made. I've since upgraded my phone, but I still come back and watch this video from time to time just for fun. Thanks!
This review convinced me to upgrade to this from my old Note 3. Mkbhd reviews are by far the best tech reviews out there.
It's an amazing phone. I loved it for the 2yrs I used it. I would've used it even longer but sadly I broke the screen which is too expensive to repair. IT WAS AN AMAZING PHONE
.m..

,lataretu
That damn Verizon tramp stamp, sheesh. It really takes away from the aesthetics of every device they have.
***** alas.
Lets hope for Moto X cases...
chowdownsomepizza yea, to further take away from the device.
I Finn Okay...maybe a case is a bad idea...what about PlastiDip Spray paint?
chowdownsomepizza how about a skin wrap and screen protector, but whatever works for you.
Hey Marques, i was using an iphone 5c and after watching your review on the new moto x i decided to change. Great video, and im loving the motox (2014). Its my first time using an android phone, i always had an iphone. Thanks, and keep these videos coming. Best reviews ive watched.
2 yrs since I had this phone n still love it!
got 2 updates till the date and it kept getting better with each one.
You are holding the best smart phone in the world. And it's 2018.
I'm deciding my next phone right now since I'm still rocking an iPhone 4s so thinks for bring the Moto X to my eye
Finally the Moto X review I was waiting for!
Hey MKBHD.. I really love all your videos and I am a huge fan.. Can you talk about your daily driver apps perhaps.. like your music player, music streaming app, games, social, launcher, etc.. just your favourite stuff.. Even though it could be long video, I, for one, would love to see your most used apps and "what's on your phone"!
BEEN WAITING FOR IT! Only the strong ones watch in 360p :D
Nice review, please do a review of the sony xperia Z3 and Z3 compact! That'd be awesome :)
As usual, a great review!
Great review! I enjoyed it. You have a fluent way of explaining the pros & cons of what you are reviewing without falling into any fanboyism at all. The only video of yours that I found disappointing was the one about the Beats algorithm in the HTC One M7 which was just plain wrong - I explained why in the comments, and I would have expected you to ask an audio engineer what an exciter & a compressor really do. But in any case, overall great work!
My tablet stopped playing the review once he said "Ok Google Now" - and launched Google Now.
Dammit Marques, you can't just say that on TH-cam! You triggered half of my apartment!
Lol!
I'm still rocking this phone with lineage os! Android pie
Same here
You guys are both lying ...I can feel it.
@@tedsmalldick499
Uh wut dude phones have custom roms lol
@@s_aku No they don't. I work for google.
@@tedsmalldick499 yo is this a shitpost and I'm just dumb or are you stupid
I love your reviews! :)
Hey Marcus..
This is really funny.. Every time you say "ok google" in this video, my phone responds to it by opening google now. At first I didn't get what's happening and I thought it was some bug. So I replayed the video again the same thing happened whenever you that phrase. 😂
Thanks a lot! Please do Motorola Moto G 2014
How come only black guys can be openly nerdy while still keeping their coolness intact?
The world may never know
True
omg so true
+absh Well he is a geek and any geek with a athletic background and a badass phone is cool
+absh any nerd could be cool considering how sociable you can get
I love your reviews. I purchased this phone because of your glowing review. Looking forward to your Moto x gen 2 Tips & Tricks video. :-)
Awesome review skills there, Marques. Very well done. This one is definitely in the running. Thanks for taking the time to do this and sharing your thoughts.
Snapdragon 801 still damn good on late 2016
It's 2021 and I'm still rocking this phone as a secondary. Non rooted, no custom rom. Plain old stock android 6.0.
Is it smooth and fluid or is it very laggy?
@@iamsuperduper2410 i had my moto x 2nd gen from 2015 - 2017. I rooted the device and hasd android 7.1.1 on it. amazing phone had no form of lag on it im sure its the same for this user. only thing was the battery, it was awful.
Just got the phone a week ago, and my reaction is completely positive. This feels so good in the hand, and it's very fast. Couldn't be happier. My previous phone was the 2013 Moto X which I also liked. Loving the big screen on the new one.
You've got some of the best, and most fair reviews of electronics I've come across. At least for android devices.
Ever since I heard you can customize the command I instantly thought of Jarvis!!
***** Iron Man.
ok...about to point out all the inconsistencies in these expert reviews lol
The first thing I noticed is about the Moto X that as weird and awkwardly looking the successor is, it actually looks better. I thought last year's release was completely over hyped and over played when held in the hand....but that's just me.
Awww hold on wait, did he just say he enjoyed the over saturation of the display (and it's very warm as I can see here)? Hahaha...man and Samsung catches so much criticism from their saturation on their displays (even tho more companies are starting to do the same, but 🐸☕).
Hold on, did Motorola just include sensors that only detects hands waving across the screen to view notifications? This isn't a gimmick? Wow! The S4 launched with this same feature, but they extended it to allow for other things (like being able to swipe pictures in your gallery) and it was terribly bashed as a gimmick. Hell, I can get a quick glance of my notifications on my Note 3 and I think it's a neat feature. Comes in handy when I'm cooking and don't want to wash my hands just to see info on my phone. Gotta love those gimmicks.
And of course, a mediocre battery and camera are only trade offs. They increased the screen size and utilized a Full HD display, with the same battery from last year....yeah good luck with that. They could have at least added software to improve battery life like GS5, M8, and OPO. 2.5 hours of SOT is a joke. And I'm not even going to discuss the camera. I've seen pictures of the Moto G stand toe to toe with the new X.
Look, I personally think the X will be another solid phone. I personally like MKBHD, but I'm pointing out the inconsistencies that exist in these "expert" tech reviews. They criticize these same things on other devices, yet praise them elsewhere. IJS....
Oh and btw, the Moto X is priced well and aggressively, but I have personally seen people purchase a other devices for the same $99 on contract or even free...and with some of the carriers offering customers the ability to jump between devices it's not an issue.....unless you pay full retail for the device upfront.
Just my POV.
Moto x 2013 had a horrible camera when first released, however now it is MUCH better.
The battery was upgraded, however only by 100 mah
Just thought i'd point that out.
M Amos let them come....they have no power here lol
Ryan Loeffler nah, it's still mediocre.
Tierre Jevon nothing like the m8 or lg g3 but still way better than when it was first released. Yes they could and should improve the camera and battery and then it would be a dream phone... Which is why I might get the new nexus...
M Amos that's all I'm saying. I'm not even dissing the phone. I already stated that it is a solid phone. I'm just pointing out how one phone can be criticized and how another can be praised for the same things.
Great review, as always
MKBHD your reviews on phones is by far the best..I have seen so many of your videos. Great going..I am hoping that the ONE PLUS ONE will announce a date for India..I have been using IOS for 2-3 years and am a bit fed up of the monotony..
***** Almost a year ago, you ranked the Top 5 Best Smartphone Cameras as follows:
5. Samsung Galaxy S4
4. LG G2
3. Apple iPhone 5s
2. Nokia Lumia 1020
1. Samsung Galaxy Note 3
What changes would you make to this list now?
iphone 6+
all videos are good qualty and good shoot angel
This guys videos are so on point and they are so much fun to watch...
Great review. Thank you for all the details.
I can't wait for your review of the iPhone 6.
No!
Simmiebird Why are you saying no? Lol
Moto X vs Oneplus one?👍
Awesome review man! White and bamboo is the my next present for myself! :D
I remember having the bamboo and white model, my first real big boy smart phone.
The speakers, the shortcuts, the build, the clean look. It sadly fell 7 feet off of an industrial fridge.
This is new new Moto X. Get it.
Leather is supposed to look warned. I have a 2 year old leather wallet. And it looks worn, which makes it look better than when it was brand new.
Nice review. Keep up the good work.
Awesome review as usual @MKBHD. Shame we don't get the Moto X 2014 in Australia.
Do a review on Sony Xperia Z3
YES!!
Good old days
Nice review. I would love to see an ASUS 5 review too. Keep up the good work
Great job with reviews on Moto X 2014
Wait for Nexus ... choice made easy after this review
When will the xperia z3 review be out? Deciding between that and this phone.
If you have a ps4 or plan on buying one get the xperia z3 since it will support remote play(you can play your ps4 on your phone). But if you're just looking for the better smartphone experience it's the Moto x all the way OR you can wait a little bit longer and get the NEXUS 6(NEXUS X) that's coming out very SOON and it's going to be a beast.
I'm also waiting for the Z3 compact. Unlike the new Moto X, it's actually compact, the battery lasts over 2 days and costs less.
I have been using the motox one couldnt be more happier as it is not about the specs but always about the experience. The fluidity in which the phone performs is simply unmatched
Hi m from India, i dont know that contract system in America, can anyone tell me what is that?
"Ok Jarvis" haha sweet!
7:56 RED EPIC? :D
Hey Marques, love your videos man! Will you be doing the review for Xperia Z3 Compact?
Hey Marcus, good review. I have the moto x pure edition, and one thing I see about that trio of the x years is Motorola really did improve or adjust for the better, at least my opinion. Truly could see the switches. Thanks for a good group of videos.
I have a GS3 right now and I'm upgrading in a month and I'm stuck between the moto x and Note 4. My GS3 lags quite a bit plus the battery life isn't great plus I'm not a fan of touchwiz. I like the motox but battery life is a concern and Note 4 battery looks to be great as well as the specs. Also I will probably slap Google play launcher on the Note 4 if I get it.
Take a look at the Sony Z3. It's due out in a couple of months, and it's looking to have 2 days of battery.
theeboredone
and 2 days of software support. Never buying a Sony device ever again.
zXxFed0raL0rd420XxxXHD_MLG_n0-scopezzPROxxXXxx I've heard this to be true with the midrange phones, but I believe the Z1 is on KitKat?
get the moto x, touchwiz sucks
Wait before anything maybe just maybe we might get the nexus 6 if not I recommend staying away from Samsung in general due to prior just crappy exp. Get the moto x or the HTC one m8
***** For the novice photographer on a budget could you do a short video of #BestPocketCamerasUnder$300 or #CameraSpecsExplained? There's so many cameras available in this price point that it's hard for any to stand out from the pack. Love your work!
Just wanted to say the video quality of your reviews are good sh*t. My fav tech dude.
Great review, as always.. nice device, wonder if they could have made the flashlight a full circle, that would be nice, when are you going to do a review on Blackberry Z30?
i kinda like the old moto x better, I mean spec-wise the new one is awesome but the something about the design...hmmm
iPhone 6 unbiased review Marques!
I support this request!
Great review, great vid
man i love your videos
you know you live in a fucked up world when 499 is not considered 'high end'. that's the average monthly salary in some countries ...
It's just a comparison considering the specs and software of the machines. i would guess €0-€200(moto g/e) = low end €300 -€500= mid range(nexus 5) €500> high end(HTC One m8, iphone)
There's a reason the US is the US. Hate it or love it, America is America. As a Chinese, I fully understand why he said what he said even I know majority of my fellow countrymen would have a comfortable living for 499 USD a month. There people just have different bars for this kind of stuff. Bill Gates or Warren Buffet may consider a private jet as a staple, but for the majority of the world it's beyond imagination. Whether something is "high end" or not really depends on the proportion of your income it takes...
Marques y u no review Xperia Z2? Or talk about your first impressions of the Z3? Please do it, I'm sure many of your subscribers agree 👍
I agree. I need a Z3 review in my life. The Moto X and Z3 are the 2 phones I'm looking at getting right now.
Yes, Z3 please.
When you mention naming your phone and make reference to "OK google," it activated my google search lol. So much for voice recognition; time to re-train it.
Best reviews on TH-cam.
The dimple is a two piece part because I think they realized that it's much more difficult to "tweak" the wood and all the weird back covers that are not made of plastic, so that they keep the dimple. If you remember *****, the dimple on the wood version of the X 2013 was much less pronounced.
This way, it's just as simple as just cutting out a circle and adding the dimple in another material. Smart move, but it makes it a little less... I don't know... cool feeling?
Good review. I was really hyped about this phone, but battery life just disappointed me. I don't want another Nexus 5 battery. Will wait for the Nexus 6, or another thing with pure Android and good battery life.
sos nuestro orgullo pendex!
Diego Requejo claro.. el otro pendex es un loser :'(
jaja Grande Juanma!!!
pero querido! vos sos del semillero todavía! sos un mocoso! tenes que aprender a caminar para poder volar! con nuestra ayuda lo vas a lograr muy pronto....
Diego Requejo gracias "amigo!"
Edad Juan Manuel Tastzian? Me están dando con un caño, tenemos más o menos la misma edad, y está bien, no soy tan groso como el Juanma pero no me tires tan abajo Reke 😢
no te tiro abajo para nada! siento que todavía estas entrando en calor para salir a la cancha!, Juanma ya entró y salió un par de veces.
Damn, I want to watch, but not in 360p!
Yeah that 360p was killing me but the review was nice
Great Review. Thanks Marques. :)
I like how Moto X withstood the bend test better than any other phone, just confirms Marques' opinion on build quality. I, personally, love metal phones.
7:41 OOOOOOOOOOooooo dafuq is that on left
That's what a hot bitch's arm looks like. I hope it's a female......
jetpowered1 definitely the guy that broke his arm
Alright I am trying to decide between the moto x 2014 version and the HTC one m8. The moto x is 500 dollars and the HTC one m8 is 600. Is the HTC worth the extra 100 in the long run or should I save the 100 and go with the moto x. Keep in mind that this will be my first smartphone. I like both of them but I wanted some other opinions.
Thanks
I would choose the Htc, because its overall better than the Moto X. The only downside on the Htc one is that the camera is dam awful. If your in it for the camera choose the Moto X, If you want a good built quality, better battery life, and faster phone choose the Htc One.
Space_____ _____BAR do you think the HTB one mini 2 (HTC one remix) would be another alternative? Between the moto x and the htc mini what would you choose?
Garett Smith i would choose the moto x over both of the devices you mentioned
Vafa Mohammadramezanizadeh is there a reason?
Just curious
My upgrade is available in april! can't wait!
I swear even tho I watch a lot of reviews here and there, you basically are the only one I rely on and take seriously, basically saying your opinion is mine lmao. Keep up with more tech stuff I watch 90% of it at least 👏
I'm getting a new phone soon and after watching this I'm now stuck between the Nexus 5 and this...which should I buy and why?
probably the iphone 6 plus
you fucking what m8 say it to my face and not online
Get the Nexus 5. :) Don't listen to Scott Clare . He's probably a brainwashed Apple fanboy.
Cheers guys
I have a nexus 5 and while it is a very good phone (my best phone ever) I would personally wait for the Nexus 6 which is probably going to be a lot better with a cheap price.
I should have tried to get this rather than the bloat filled GS5.
I hope the old Moto X gets that update to Active Display. It'd be nice to check more than the most recent notification.
That dimple is actually supposed to move around like that. Yep, i checked many at different stores and it actually feels quite nice the way it adjusts for your finger basically.
***** why don't you make a video on "Moto X (2nd Gen) 2014 :Revisited !
Saugat Singha Pocketnow are quite good at this type of thing with their "after the buzz" series. They did one for the moto x 2014. But I agree, I think more reviewers should do this!
Great review as always ***** I wonder why Moto dropped the ball on the camera and whyno stereo speakers. Otherwise it is a killer smartphone.
You really don't need stereo on a phone external speakers.
It's the novelty for me James Meagher.
Rob Watkins do any of the flagship phones have stereo speakers?
James Meagher HTC One M8 ..
What Arpit Patel said. 😊
Great review!
@mkbhd: this was the review which convinced me to buy Moto x2 and almost 2 years for this fone and it is still great.. the battery is the only concern and now am finally thinking of a new fone. Thx to Moto x2 and mkbhd my laptop is almost useless.. ty for the great advice Nd great fone.
