Got it :) such an amazing phone, the touchless controls are AWESOME... Pure android is just on a whole other level

The voice sound is crystal clear (yes, it also makes calls), better than anything ive tried

Worth every cent
[X 2014 General] Note10.1Dude:
If it were available now I would have ordered instead of an X. 3900 mAh, that will give charge Friday, charge Monday life to this thing.
[X 2014 General] biggiestuff:
I'd make the same decision as you if I had to buy a phone RIGHT NOW. I fortunately have the luxury of waiting. I'm not sure why I'm so torn on selling my nexus 5.
[X 2014 General] Note10.1Dude:
Sit and wait man. If I had a N5 in hand, I would not be upgrading until the full-round of fall releases. Might even sit it out for the Snapdragon 810s next spring.
[X 2014 General] 0.0:
The only thing I don't like is the capacitive buttons. Also, 21mp means nothing if software is crap, but L will hopefully fix that. Also, we don't even know if it's 3900mah. We also don't know the processor speed or RAM. Moto could have scrapped the device and the FCC filing is old

I bought a Moto X, since I actually needed a new phone. Any phone that releases that is not 64bit will be off the radar. I will definitely be buying a 64bit phone as my next device. So I'm waiting like you, except it'll be longer wait for me since I just bought a phone

Thats how things works, theres always going to be something better... If you are going to play the waiting game you would never buy a phone
[X 2014 General] 0.0:
to add-on to what you said, 3900mah isn't even confirmed yet. also, if it does have a QHD screen, battery may be lower than what's expected vs a 1080p screen
[X 2014 General] Jimlarck:
A lot of the specs are similar to that of the N5, a nice upgrade from the original X though.
[X 2014 General] MichaelMcEntire:
Nexus 5 is a Snapdragon 800 correct?
[X 2014 General] skiwong20:
i am defently getting one of these..at this point it looks like it have to get another dev edition for damn VZW.
[X 2014 General] barondebxl:
I think the phone is an awesome upgrade from the Moto x
[X 2014 General] -A-P-M-:
I like it a lot. But I will wait for next Nexus (Moto Shamu) and then I will decide which one to buy.

If Nexus wont have that premium body, I will get Moto X. I think it wont get updates much later than Nexus..
[X 2014 General] godutch:
Could someone tell me if you can change music without touching the phone?
[X 2014 General] brizey:
This device was not on my radar, but it is now. Like the bigger screen...I never use my phone with one hand anyway (never saw a reason to challenge myself and do things one handed when it is just as easy to use two hands), and I am a middle aged dad so no skinny jeans here :silly:

Also like the AMOLED screen. They do kind of suck in broad daylight, but that is maybe 0.001 of my usage, so I'll take the superior blacks and view angles the other 0.999.

Battery is a little bit concerning, but really, I am almost always near a charger (I have a qi in the kitchen, on my nightstand, in my home office and in my office office, and obviously a charger in my car, too).

Going to be moving to T-Mobile soon, so will likely just by an unlocked generic GSM model and get the $30 plan.
[X 2014 General] darkgoon3r96:
Moto X doesn't support wireless charging.
[X 2014 General] YankInDaSouth:
Like others, battery is my only concern (although the turbo charger for $35 is a nice little accessory) ... Will like to see some "real world" battery life results. I'm not the most patient person, so waiting for the Moto Maxx may prove to be too difficult LOL
[X 2014 General] Jonnyredcorn:
I'm surprised no wireless charging, also upset at no OIS in the camera. Other than that I like it. I will wait for the next Nexus device and decide then. I would expected Google to integrate a lot of the original moto x's features into stock Android seeing they have all their patents now.
[X 2014 General] manlisten:
Going to wait and see what the battery life is like, and may also wait for the Nexus to be revealed, But right now I'm thinking I'm going to jump to this phone.
[X 2014 General] brizey:
Yeah, I'm surprised, too. Frankly, I was thinking that pretty much all 2014+ devices would have it. It's one of those things that until you have it, you think you don't need it, but once you have it, you fell you can't live without it. The best is the nightstand...no fumbling with a cord at night...just plop it down and always wake up with a full charge. So that makes this a pass for me. I get that this is not a flagship phone. But they should have added a useful feature and dropped the tacky wooden backs, etc. Chasing a market that doesn't include me.
[X 2014 General] Lokke9191:
No wireless charging = deal breaker. I will not be purchasing the new moto x. It's such a bad move to not include qi. Seriously bad move on Motorola leaving it out. I would have bought one immediately. Looks like I'll wait for the new nexus or just stick with my n5. I'm beyond disappointed.

Sold my nexus 4 to get the Moto x

Hey guys!

Just came by to say I'm loving this device! In these 2 days I've owned it, it surpassed in every way my old nexus 4! I'd like to highlight a few points:

1-launch price:

I live in Brazil, where smartphones and technological devices costs a lot! For the specs it offered, the Moto x 2014 was a bargain! Around 700 dollars unlocked. For reference, the iPhone 5S costs 1000 dollars here, unlocked!

2-build quality/specs:

Don't worry people, this is truly a flagship device. It feels sturdy and premium, with its aluminum frame and buttons. The M logo in the back is also beautiful! Not to mention this thing is crazy fast! It kicks every single smartphone to date in the ass (being the only widely available device with Snapdragon 801 and pure Android).

3-internal storage:

For some unknown reason to me, Apple used to be the only company to sell 32gb+ internal memory devices here in my country. This changed a couple of months ago when g2 gold edition launched with 32gb (but it's gold, I don't like gold stuff, they're for women imo). The Moto x is the second device being sold here.

4-screen:

It's beautiful... It's got perfect colors and viewing angles, crisp and sharp pixels and damn good sunlight visibility. Light years ahead of my old nexus 4.

5-camera:

Coming from a nexus 4, this camera is simply awesome! It shoots and focus faster and is much more detailed than the former.

Last, but not least-form factor/size:

I know people are pissed off about the size of the device but, I gotta say, for someone who used a nexus 4 with a bumper on it, it's practically the same size AND you get a bonus bigger screen and resolution.

Other smaller profits: the double speakers are damn good and loud and the battery is not as bad as you expect. It's way better than the nexus 4, that I can assure you!

So that's it, hope you guys read this overview (don't forget this is my opinion please) and may it help you guys decide whether you buy this great device or not.

The for reading! :D
[X 2014 General] darkgoon3r96:
It's just one speaker, the top is an ear piece.
[X 2014 General] sailindawg:
[MENTION=5095257]JoaoGuiPan[/MENTION]

Regarding battery life, can you post some screenshots of total battery usage from 100% - 5% and a separate screenshot of screen on time? Be great to see this info to see how good battery life is.
[X 2014 General] JoaoGuiPan:
I can do it by the end of the day, sure :)
[X 2014 General] YankInDaSouth:
Isn't there a front facing speaker as well as a speaker on the bottom?
[X 2014 General] darkgoon3r96:
There is one speaker, it's front facing under the display. If you mean next to the microUSB port then no speakers there.

Only one, on the front, under the display.
[X 2014 General] JoaoGuiPan:
Both grilles on the front of the device are speakers. According to Gizmodo they're as good or maybe even better than htc's boomsound. Witch I'll never know, since htc doesn't sell their devices in Brazil :/

EDIT: Sorry guys, my mistake. According to this link http://www.androidheadlines.com/2014/09/moto-xs-front-facing-speaker-vs-htcs-boomsound.html only the bottom one is a speaker. But it's pretty darn good.
[X 2014 General] YankInDaSouth:
[MENTION=5095257]JoaoGuiPan[/MENTION] I've seen both reported as well, but I think that only the bottom one is a speaker as [MENTION=2968742]darkgoon3r96[/MENTION] mentioned. I just thought I remembered the Moto folks mention on their device intro Hangouts event that the X had a speaker on the bottom of the device too. But I could have misunderstood
[X 2014 General] JoaoGuiPan:
Yeah, you're right, I just edited my comment :)
[X 2014 General] darkgoon3r96:
You could click here if you want to confirm, and you could also look at pics of the Moto X on the Verge.
[X 2014 General] YankInDaSouth:
Wasn't doubting ya ? But thanks for the link ... Haven't seen that one yet!
[X 2014 General] omnius1:
Underwhelmed, I like the Xperia Z3 better in pretty much every category
[X 2014 General] Bilhouse:
Most likely will be my next phone. Its a nice upgrade over the original in all areas, apart from the battery. I am disappointed in the battery size but I will wait for actual tests and results.
[X 2014 General] AndreaCristiano:
I'm all in
[X 2014 General] Jonnyredcorn:
Just realized no QI wireless charging, that is kinda a deal breaker for me. Also no OIS, other than that I'm impressed with the moto x, it's nice to see an OEM not destroy Androids beautiful UIX and still add very useful unique features.
[X 2014 General] JoaoGuiPan:
First battery life results

So, after a long day, listening to aprox. 3h of music, half hour of ppsspp emulator gaming, wifi/data always on (except during my 8h sleep, lol) here are the ressults. I hope you like man. Coming from a nexus 4, it's a big improvement!
[X 2014 General] YankInDaSouth:
That's actually not too shabby!! What's that huge gap in the signal stat? Airplane mode or something?
[X 2014 General] biggiestuff:
Probably airplane mode while he's sleeping. It's not completely flat during that time which seems to be common on the moto x. My N5 would lose maybe 1% if i put it into airplane mode and went to bed. My moto X would lose a bit more. I'm guessing it's because of the touchless control. Can you give us details on what options you have set up? location settings? google now?

On my moto x i can do 4 hrs SOT about 2 hours of music listening in a 12-13 hour time frame with everything from google now, location, and bluetooth on. I do have a lot of apps greenified.
[X 2014 General] JoaoGuiPan:
Everything on (except bluetooth), brightness on auto. I put my phone in airplane mode while sleeping hehe
[X 2014 General] biggiestuff:
Did you have the 2013 moto x? How does battery compare to that. I may be able to live through one more generation if its the same or slightly better
[X 2014 General] JoaoGuiPan:
I had a nexus 4 and I must say battery life is waaaay better, even though the screen's got more pixels and the processor is a lot faster! With 3:30h of screen time my old nexus would die in less than half a day.

This moto X ain't no Droid Maxx but can last a full day, I'll give Motorola that.
[X 2014 General] devilsdouble:
Hmm, three and a half hours screen time, this is very disappointing from an owner of original X. I can achieve 4 hours easily, and with performance governor, overclocked etc.

Might be the deal breaker, and I don't really care about battery life either. But if the final software (or is OP's running on that already?) does have the same battery output then it is disappointing, to say the least.
[X 2014 General] biggiestuff:
i noticed no battery saver mode anymore?
[X 2014 General] RealtimeX:
I will definitely be waiting for a thorough review of the device, paying special attention to the battery life as that seems to be the single biggest potential problem area for the phone. I hope it's released in Australia soon! :)
[X 2014 General] JoaoGuiPan:
I didn't see anything in the settings. If anyone finds it, please let me know.
[X 2014 General] marvin02:
I like the larger screen.

I wish it had removable storage (sd card) or at least is released in a 64 GB version (and not months after original release like with the 2013 Moto X)
[X 2014 General] Jonnyredcorn:
That battery life is not very great... I don't put my Nexus 5 on Airplane mode and lose about 2% over a 8-10 night period. I'm using faux kernel and greenify.

It's only been a few days, I would give it some more time.
[X 2014 General] GatorsUF:
Yes, this will be my next phone. I have to upgrade from the GS3 (Galaxy Nexus was my last upgrade, got GS3 thru insurance). I am praying that tethering will be an option with this phone, I have VZW unlimited and tethering is my only hang up. It seems I don't really have another option anyways since bootloaders are locked on nearly all devices...
[X 2014 General] CookieMonsterr:
Recommended to a friend, the 5"2 screen is what got him hooked.
[X 2014 General] Jack Sparrow xda:
This is the first phone in all these years which tempted the need for upgrade somewhere deep inside me since I bought Atrix 2. Major concerns as pointed out by many others, battery life is questionable.

We know Motorola is not like others, if they say the phone will last for one day then it will last, doesn't matter what the battery specs say. But still I would have been happy if they had given us a phone where battery is lasting for 2 days, not just one day. :D

Another confusion is the upcoming time is for 64 bit devices and I am one one of those people who don't like to switch phones every now n then. Can the current 32bit devices hold atleast 3 years. My current Atrix 2 is managing to it, yeah, its way too slow and backward generation phone compared to others but it can run anything which I need today and running better on Kitkat ROMs.

Also is it worth to wait for the next Nexus?

Overall I am in big dilemma but this is the new Moto X is which has switched on my temptation for the upgrade. :cyclops:
[X 2014 General] biggiestuff:
I think the small battery is enough of an issue for me to make me wait out and see what the nexus has to offer. If anything once that one is announced whatever I buy will be a christmas present to myself :D
[X 2014 General] JoaoGuiPan:
Yes, indeed battery life ain't great but neither is any of the nexus devices to this day hehe

What I can say for sure is that I've got no regrets of buying this device! The build quality alone is enough to withstand the competition with ease and the speed is simply awesome! Just ran Antutu here and got 44.5k of score!

If you guys are worried that the new 64 bit generation is coming, I can assure you that this device can last clearly at least 2 years! It's just too damn powerful haha
[X 2014 General] Jack Sparrow xda:
Do you have the new Moto X? If so then please clear the confusion on the speakers. Please play some stereo audio track or video clip having stereo content and also some game which has got some sound effects and please confirm if the audio coming in true stereo sense from both the speakers?
[X 2014 General] JoaoGuiPan:
Indeed it's only one speaker, but it's loud and sound quality is very good!
[X 2014 General] EternalAndroid:
Already have it. ;)
[X 2014 General] lin013190:
Debating between this and the xperia Z2 or wait for new nexus X..... I'm torn.
[X 2014 General] 0.0:
I am interested, by the pics of SOT and how long it lasted

I have a Nexus 4 (just like that user who replaced his with this phone) and I would be very content if the phone can last 14 hours minimum. looks like it does, but my usage may be heavier (more background apps). N4 is so trashy right now, it makes me cry. ~6h with 2h SOT on 4.4.4 :crying:. I'll wait if the rumored Nexus phone gets announced, then decide from there

now let me say this: Android L will do wonders. I tried the Android L port on my n4, and it gave me ~2 extra hours with the same SOT, same usage. plus, L has a battery saver, so it makes sense that Moto decided not to add one in. by the time this phone releases, Android L will be coming anyways

---------- Post added at 12:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:24 AM ----------

regarding 64 bit: http://www.techradar.com/us/news/ph...big-deal-but-not-yet-1202942/3#articleContent and http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24603297/benefits-of-using-64-bit-kernel-in-android

so, in summary

performance gain (if OS and apps are compatible. L will be, but apps will take awhile to update to 64 bit)

better security? (but L will be getting Knox, so perhaps secure for a bit longer)

helps with RAM 4GB or more

but it will take awhile before we see all of this good stuff

When I think about it, what will the Nexus have that the Moto X won't have? An 805 processor? That's isn't the biggest deal ever. Similar CPU, better GPU but not by a huge amount. 64 bit is not that important right now, maybe in 2-3 years which is when I'll upgrade again. Perhaps a better camera, but Nexus phones tend to go a bit cheap on camera. And if the next Nexus is supposed to be made by Moto and replicate the X, idk if it'll have OIS (Nexus will not be made to eat away at a company's flagship device). Both have stock Android, but X has some tweaks included

Tl;dr Nexus will have to be such a huge upgrade over a Moto X to make me want it at this point

[X 2014 General] biggiestuff:
That's why I'm starting to think that the nexus will be 5.9. I don't think they want cannibalize moto when they are just getting back on their feet. Just a hunch.
[X 2014 General] 0.0:
Exactly. Idk about screen size though. If the Nexus has a 5.2 inch screen size, that won't be the thing that will cannibalize the Moto X. What will cannibalize it is if the next Nexus has roughly the same features and hardware as the Moto X, which will probably not be the case. Nexus S replicated the S2 perhaps? Galaxy Nexus replicated the S3, but was not as good. N4 replicated the Optimus G, and hardware was not as good either. N5 replicated the G2, and we all know the G2 still had the better camera (and some hardware) than the N5. It will be no different with the N6, based on the history

my n4 is crap and I need a new phone already lol. Moto X will be fine, as I don't see the Nexus trumping it if it's made by Moto, or any other manufacturer. besides, both use stock Android. and Android L is coming, and that is promised to arrive for the X
[X 2014 General] shabbypenguin:
Far from it, every company so far has based their current line of phones on what they made for the nexus. the nexus s was a spitting image of the SGS1 for a lot of things. the galaxy nexus was more of what google wanted, the nexus 4 and lg optimus g were extremely similar, as was teh g2 and n5. if moto is making the new nexus it will be similar to the x.
[X 2014 General] hotleadsingerguy:
Oh my goodness, people need to stop with this. The only "confusion" is that people don't seem to believe Motorola themselves, or any number of reviewers, when they say both speakers on the front of the device are not for media. The bottom is for media/loudspeaker, the top is for earpiece. They even said it during the announcement.
[X 2014 General] 0.0:
For the N6, I doubt it would have the antenna tech thing Moto has created or Moto features.* Maybe it'll have the LED flash ring on the camera.* Nothing huge that'll impress me that I can think of, unless I'm wrong which would suck :/

*if made by Moto

[X 2014 General] vshun:
What will N6 have? I presume N6, if it exists, will have Qi charger which is extremely convenient and lack of it is a deal breaker for those of us with Nexus 4/5 and Qi chargers at home. Once you have this ability you do not want to go back to cord fiddling and poking especially at night.
[X 2014 General] 0.0:
Qi functionality isn't a huge thing to me. I agree, it's convenient. However, that isn't something that'll sway me. It'll take a bit more. Each user is different though, so I understand

[X 2014 General] MYxdaUSERNAME:
Yep, I'll be buying the new X; I'm coming from a Droid DNA. I thought I might try the iPhone 6 Plus or Note 4, but after printing out a template, I just don't want a phone that big. Those things are tiny tablets, not giant phones.

My DNA is 5" 1080p, and that's all I wanted in my upgrade...the new X is perfect to me. I'll manage the battery (bought a Moto Power Pack to try out off Amazon anyway), but will be using Moto Maker for custom colors and the 32gb memory. My upgrade isn't until mid-November, but I'm hoping I can get lucky and have it moved up a month or so..
[X 2014 General] dark.wizard:
I'm going to update to new Moto X from my nexus 5 :)

Just because i love Motorola, and it has AMOLED screen :)

I hope. it will be a great experience mixing nexus 5 UX and Galaxy S4 screen :)
[X 2014 General] joelteixeira:
I'm a little disappointed with the camera samples, I had a Galaxy S4 before and I was expecting something equal or better and that's clearly not the case. Maybe wait a little longer for N6, Note 4 or take Moto X anyway (the price is really appealing) but praying for a software update to make the photos a little better.
[X 2014 General] 0.0:
For camera, I would go for the Note 4. Nexus devices aren't known for camera quality either. They improve, but not where it's like the G3 or S5. The old Moto X was not good with the camera, so I didn't expect it to be a lot better now. But all I can say is the Moto X is better than my n4 hands down

Sent from my Nexus 4
[X 2014 General] joelteixeira:
Thanks for your input. I'm thinking about Note 4 because I found the GS5 pictures amazing and OIS is a great addition. I thought about the Z3 as well but the normal (16:9) uses 15MP despite the 20mp available and I'm not a IPS fan.
[X 2014 General] 0.0:
I believe all 16:9 photos will be less MP. The stated MP for all phones are for the standard 4:3 ratio. Even my Sony camera will be less MP if I set it to 16:9 when taking photos

Sent from my Nexus 4
[X 2014 General] joelteixeira:
According to reviews I saw 16mp on note 4 will be 16:9. A little bit one than on z3. I believe that moto x is 10mp.
[X 2014 General] Jamolah:
Average Battery life is turning me off the new motox
[X 2014 General] gflare:
I'm also concerned a bit about the camera. I currently have an S4, and it's proclivity for blurry photos is one of my major pain points. While I've gotten better with making sure my hands are steady and I take more time, I wish it were a non-issue. Since I'd be more inclined to "twist & shoot" quickly with a moto X, I really don't want blurry photos!

I'm holding out to see what the next Nexus is like, but when it does get announced I'll be making my decision.
[X 2014 General] Jack Sparrow xda:
If you are going to take photo where main focus is far away (more than 3-5 ft) then its better to set the focus to infinity. That way camera will not take any time to focus and there will be just slight shutter lag. I am sure you will be able to get majority of your shots without any blur :) But don't forget to change the focus mode to auto or suitable one while clicking any subject very near to you.
