Motorola Moto X hands-on: First look

01 August 2013
It's been a while since Google bought Motorola but it's only now that we finally see the fruits of that cooperation. By this point, we were already overly excited because we couldn't wait to see what rabbit...

Disappointment. Could have matched HTC one's max storage.

And as predicted, stuff from google never have sd slots.

Since specs are low, and they innovate in terms of design and other areas, they could have added removable batteries with a twist: 2 pieces of battery instead of 1. So you can swap batteries without having to switch off your phone.

Now as it stands, its just a fancy phone, and when you can see through that, its worth very low. Maybe 250$ No more.

    over priced mid range fail

      dude that camera's snapshot has really blown me away. I mean I'm finding it really hard to distinguish it from a dslr's honestly. That watch looks incredibly sharp with true colours and almost zero color saturation. Initial impressions definitely look impressive anyway.

        AnonD-130551, 02 Aug 2013Well, I certainly would take this over the HTC One. I don't... moreHow could you not pick the HTC one over this? Other than the camera you got:
        Bigger internal storage for the price, one of the best 1080p screens on the market, better processor, dual front speakers, all wrapped in aluminum in a thinner package let alone the fastest android phone to date even snappier than the S4?!!!!!

          Im very impressed with the Moto X, synthetic benchmarks are very impressive indeed, the quality of the snap that GSM provided us was excellent- I could see the serial number on the watch when I zoom in.
          This thing should sell like hot cakes.

            The best android phone so far, and true phone from google.

              I think this phone is mesmerizing. I tough the One was the one, but I've now shifted my strategy.

                i say this is little superior to xperia SP. a midrange flagship.

                  Anonymous, 02 Aug 2013Can we go ahead and take out the benchmark scores for the S... moreWell, I certainly would take this over the HTC One. I don't exactly understand why people think the One is the Holy Grail. I mean, it's a pretty nice phone, but that's it.

                        Can we go ahead and take out the benchmark scores for the Samsung s4 octacore since they been caught cheating. And who would pick this over the HTC one 32gb in the state for $149 or less? Hmmm...no brainer.

                            When they mentioned about "Customer Customization" some time ago, I thought its about hardware specification or special Motorola application. Geezzeuss, its only for its plastic skin.

                              in fact the 10.4 thickness isn't bad
                              slightly thick phones are easier to hold than extremely thin ones

                                  This would have been one of the best phones if it was released last year.

                                  If the price is not attractive then this will not sell well. However, some patriotic silly Americans may willing to fork out extra cash it.
