15 September 2014
The new Moto X arrived exactly a year after its predecessor brought us customizable looks, wrapped in a sleek body, proudly wearing the "Made in USA" label. The new flagship of the company is likely one of the last Motorola products developed during...

        So does it or does it not have clear pixel sensor on camera as 2013 moto x?
        Seems as it does not so image quality should be totally different not on pair with old mode.

            Great review. I would choose this phone over any other phone.I would buy this phone but I preodered the iPhone 6. I don't have the budget to buy a second phone because I just bought the first moto X a few weeks back and I definitely want to buy the rumored Motorola Nexus. The first Moto X was great. I am using it as my small when I go out and want flat pockets.

                  The earpiece quality should be tested. All moto phones having some echoing.

                    Pictures taken with Moto X are way better than the ones produced by my S4 mini dual. That is why I am jumping manufacturer's. Samsung is going crazy with prices in Brazil.

                      Again stupid move. 2300 mAH battery for 5.2 inches display and price is $400+. Come on Motorola, what were you thinking when designing this phone. I dont know how can one mess up the battery part while designing the phone. I believe it is one of the most important component to take into consideration. Sorry Motorola, you failed this time.

                          What would be their excuse for the original X? Every phone had / has the detailed telephony section, but X!

                            They do this because they are not in uk or their labs and hence they can't do many tests.

                                      For $500 phone, this phone lacks some important features. At similar price I think Samsung, LG, and Sony offerings are more reasonable.

                                        Very uninspiring and everything about it is mediocre, one have to be a true moto fan to like this. Rarely have i found it so hard to see anything positive in a phone, one have to wonder if they put special efforts into making it so persistently underwhelming?
