Motorola Moto X (2014) Specs

Description

With the new Moto X we are getting a 5.2-inch AMOLED display running at 1080p, a customized Snapdragon 801 clocked at 2.5GHz, 2GB of RAM, a 13-megapixel camera, and a 2300mAh battery. The device measures 72.4 x 140.8mm (~2.85 x 5.54-inches) and the width ranges from 3.8 mm (0.15-inches) at the edge to 9.9mm (0.39-inches) at in the middle, and it will weigh 144 g (5.08oz). Sadly, the back logo is not a button, although it does look like one. But, the edge-to-edge design means that Motorola has been able to fit a slightly larger display in the same device width as the Samsung Galaxy S5.

This device is also known as Motorola XT1093, Motorola XT1094, Motorola XT1092, Motorola XT1096, Motorola XT1095, Motorola XT1097, Motorola Moto X (2nd Gen.), Motorola Moto X (2014) Pure Edition

Approaching everything I ever need in a phine
Phone owned for less than a year

Great phone. I staked it out for months before buying.. Did not let me down on most accounts.
The battery is OK. But I wish it lasted longer. Just so I could use the phone more.
The UI is a joy. Always reliable, never lagging. Speaker is crisp and clear. Love watching movies on it.
The camera is disappointing in low and medium light. And it struggles sometimes to focus but when you get the right shot it comes out fine.

I love this phone. But its little drawbacks in certain areas leave me itching for what Motorola will come up with next.

One major note is that although the customisable back is beautiful to look at, I advice anyone shelling out on this phone to buy a case. The screen is pretty exposed and could crack on dropping without a case.

Brilliant phone that would have replacement battery
Phone owned for less than a month

I used this phone for a month and I loved the experience of use, is very beautiful from any angle where you look, the colors are a bit saturated although they look very good. The screen size is enough for high quality videos and processor perfectly fulfills its mission, you hardly will see lag in their management. The camera is very good. The command "I hear you" is good but many things are not well understood, perhaps IPhone Siri is better, but it helps. The only thing that I have to mention of this excellent phone is its poor battery, with difficulty comes alive late in the day and that means you need to disable practically GPS, WiFi and lower the screen brightness to hardly see anything. In short, very good phone, I recommend it.
