Hey everyone it's Chad from GadgetGuruHD.com and this is my full thoughts and opinions
on the Motorola Moto X.
Moto X is the first product that Google directly influenced in Motorola's lineup of products.
It's noticeable from the second you look at the phone and realize there's a complete absence
of capacitive and physical buttons.
The best way to describe the Moto X in one word is minimalistic.
The Moto X is in a class of its own.
It isn't powered by the latest snapdragon 800 and doesn't have a 1080p screen, instead
it has Moto Maker which allows the X to be customized in over 2,000 variations.
Just about everything can be changed ranging from the back plate, engravings, and even
the accents.
Measuring in at a tiny 5 inches tall and only 2.5 inches wide, it's small compared to the
just released giants like the Galaxy Note 3.
That's not to say the Moto X isn't a well built premium device, because the build quality
is one of my favorite things about it.
Nothing about the actual design or looks about the Moto X is different or unique, but the
Moto X just feels more premium than something like the Galaxy S4 or Note 3.
Motorola didn't cut any corners with the X and it's definitely shown through the plant
created in Texas made for the sole purpose of this device.
Despite the phone's smaller form factor,it isn't super light, weighing in at 130 grams,
but the slight weight makes the Moto X feel more premium and less like a toy.
Because this was Motorola's first device made in conjunction with Google, the X lacks a
removable battery and also a micro sd card slot.
Like a mentioned earlier, the X doesn't boast the new Snapdragon 800 processor or an ultra
high resolution display.
Instead it used the X8 chip which delegates different tasks to different cores, which
results in a more power efficient faster phone.
In reality, it's just a super efficient dual core processor, but it gets the job done.
On the right side of the handset you can find a the power button and volume rockers.
Towards the left is the sim card slot.
On the bottom we'll find the micro usb port for charging and syncing and lastly on the
top we have the 3.5mm headphone jack.
The Moto X is on the latest version of Android, 4.4 Kit Kat.
My favorite feature is definitely active notifications which shows notifications on the screen whenever
you lift up the phone.
It's a killer feature that really is impossible to go without once you've used it.
This alone is what has made me switch from the Nexus 5 to the Moto X.
another thing I really like about the Moto X is the size.
It isn't a tiny phone like the iPhone, but it definitely is on the smaller size.
I'm actually starting to like the smaller form factor simply because I don't struggle
at all using the phone in one hand.
It's really comfortable to use and it delivers a nice overall experience.
Even with this huge display I was able to get fantastic battery life, in fact I couldn't
even come close to killing it in one day.
While the Moto X only has a 720P screen, there isn't a noticeable difference between it and
the Nexus 5.
Those that were a bit worried about the lower res display on the X shouldn't be swayed because
it's surprisingly impressive.
The camera is really the only negative, on this phone.
It isn't bad, but it's nowhere near as good as the camera on the iPhone 5S.
I still have some issues focusing and with the white balance, but I'm not a huge picture
taker on my phone anyway.
