    I have a moto x, I got it two weeks ago and I must say I love it!!!!!! It has good battery life, a nice camera, a nice screen size, and is quick.

    I wouldn't say this is an Android for the average Joe. That's the Moto G, the Moto X advanced functions are above every other smartphone(S4/5, HTC One, Nexus 5 even iPhone: I'm looking at you). This is the only true "smart" phone in my opinion.
    That being said, nice review. I'm loving mine and after an year with a 1080p 5" phone(Oppo Find 5, which I loved size apart) going back to a model I can really use with one hand felt like coming back home after a long trip: you enjoy it but you still want to go back.
    With the G and the X they made two of the best phones in that price range(and even in general), period.

    A Moto X 2013 with updated specs, a better battery, a better camera and the promise of future updates (As Moto killed the 2013 X) would be the perfect device IMO.

    Already ordered mine yesterday and should be at my front 🚪 by Tuesday. So excited to get my hands on it! 4 of my friends own one and not one have a complaint about any of the features so far. Love the review by the way! Oh..... And for those interested in owning this phone as a prepaid phone instead through contract. Verizon is selling it right now for $200 unlimited talk and text. I'm Happy cause i hate contract phones due to me not being too committed at times. So having a prepaid option is awesome!

    The snapdragon s4 found in the moto x and the new nexus 7 are both based on the krait 300 architecture just like the snapdragon 600. How is the performance of the phone was there any stutter or lag while you used it?

    Actually, we just got this notice from Motorola today:
    "Moto X on Sprint, US Cellular and T-Mobile networks will have unlockable bootloaders, and we are offering a Verizon Wireless Developer Edition and a general North America Developer Edition.
    Each of our developer editions will be available on Motorola.com. You will need to go through a series of steps to unlock the bootloader on these developer editions and this process does void the phone’s warranty."

    @CarolinaCycloneJames ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I used to have a moto x all the way till 2017 and not once did it slow down over time. Even the battery life was still great. Easily my favorite phone, sadly a drop killed the screen but for it to go years without a case and being dropped a good many times it lived up to its rugged looks

  • @alexcordero9
    @alexcordero9 10 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    The Moto X is the best phone I've ever had--seriously (I've owned four). But I think that everyone's a little harsh on the camera. Although I'm not a professional photographer, I have a lot of experience in photography. I think you need to make it clear to folks that there are a lot of image processing tools built into the software of the Moto X that let you send out beautifully processed imagery. I find that even if I take photos with our high-end 35mm, I still have to tweak the images and it's no different on the Moto X. Besides, this is a 'cell phone', not a camera by design. I don't think that the image quality of the Moto's camera is enough to decrease its quality. All in all this was a nice review for a fantastic phone.

  • @claypool0

    @BSDShoes 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    The complaints about the camera is due to the camera app itself, it does take nice pictures and I noticed when using my magnifier app it's a significant improvement over an 8MP camera (the HTC One X). I took a picture of a quarter using the magnifier app on the MX and HOX, the quarter on the MX is much sharper.
