Moto X press renders appear, show off slim bezels and slick design

For most people, the phone will spend drastically more time in your hand being used than on a table flat being used, and for that reason you have to think they've designed it for the hand to be most comfortable.

exactly! i even used my htc one in a interface design class to talk about build quality and reasoning for the rounded back, people prefer a contour over a straight box that feels like youre getting cut lol

The back of the One even though it is curved has a straight edge at the side and it is very uncomfortable in my hand. Gives that cut feeling you are talking about. Posted via Android Central App

the bottom of the phone seems less curved though, so i think it lay still on a table...at least not as wobbly as a htc one

I have a case on my HTC one and I don't experience any wobble when I lay it on a flat surface. Posted via Android Central App

That's what the recessed logo is for. balance.I think.

How about buy a Car mount and plant it on your desk?

The transparent navigation bar looks pretty neat. Posted via Android Central App

If the notification bar is transparent as well it would be even better.

it looks like a rip-off of HTC One at the back, and a Samsung Galaxy S4 on the front. Well.. It's like Eric Schmidt making and Android OS from the iOS anyways, so no surprise, although it irritates me.

Lolz Posted via Android Central App

haha... I don't even....

You are a tool. You do not know anything about technology.

+1 Posted via Android Central App

I am seriously sick of people like you who do this. So what if it has similarities? If the design is good and it works, why not implement it? And the front is nothing like the S4. It is more like the Nexus 4.

that guy must get seriously pissed when he walks through the tv section of an electronics store...

highly agree. I really can not understand this kind of paranoia for the originality of the design. For example, you can not patent the circle! or, at least, that patent should be recognized to Pitagora or some of his contemporaries. lol

I agree, wholeheartedly.

Front looks more like the Galaxy Nexus. Like they could be related...

You can say that again. The same thing happens with car manufacturers. And who cares anyway. If you don't like it then don't buy it. I say the more choices the better. Via Android Central App from a Galaxy Note 2

You obviously don't know what you're saying, especially because this aggravated every grammar Nazi here. Android did bit copy iOS, so stop being a troll and go away. Posted via Android Central App

This.

It depends on you definition of copy. Android went from having a blackberry like design to an iPhone like design once the iPhone came out. It looked very different, obviously, but one could say android was "inspired by iOS" Just my opinion.

It is true in pretty much every segment of customer product that when one feature or design tact is working well with the public, that other manufacturers will move in that direction. Prior to the release of the iPhone, the Blackberry style of phone is what everyone believed a smartphone should look like. Previous attempts at a full-screen phone had failed. I have to give credit to Apple for being able to take the "smart phone" concept and re-engineer it into something that appealed to a mainstream audience. That said, neither iPhone nor Android was a completely "new" concept in the world of smart phones. Apple was able to alter the ideals into something that grew popular, and other manufacturers followed their lead. It happens every day across all forms of consumer product manufacturing. Imagine if the first television manufacturer to use a remote control tried to patent it in such a way as to prevent anyone else from building a TV that used a remote control...

Please don't feed this troll any further. Posted via Android Central App

It's Aiight

Did anyone else notice that it looks like the power button and volume rocker are on the same side of the phone? I'm not sure if that's genius or mishap, and only because I've never tried with that configuration before. Posted via Android Central App

Power and volume rocker are right next to each other on the Nexus 7.

OH wow... Can't know for sure until I try, but I'm not a fan of the concept.

Me neither. With the layout on the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 4, I can take a screenshot with one hand. This is going to need both. :/

I would say that I like this config. With it being on opposite sides, I will accidentally lock my phone when squeezing to change the volume or vice versa. With this setup, that won't happen. And after getting used to the placement and feel of the buttons, I don't see myself mistaking one for the other very often. Just my opinion:) Posted via Android Central App

That's a good opinion.

I'm not sure I agree. It's similar to the Lumia series although on the lumia series the button is below the volume rocker). When I used a Lumia 800 it was alright, but the lowest button was too low. It was kind of irritating (especially since on that device it meant the power button was annoying to reach. I know it varies for each user, but I like it being on opposite sides. Here's why: I don't have to adjust my hand at all. When I hold my N4 my thumb sits near the power, and my index sits near the volume rocker. Plus they're offset; if you hold it up perfectly vertical, you'll see that the volume rocker sits below the power button and they don't actually overlap. So if you hold it at the same level on both sides to press something, you should be fine. That's just my use case, though. Judging by the location of the Moto X buttons, I doubt I would take issue with its layout.

Anything is better than HTC's top left power button, very difficult to use on a long phone with short fingers.

Amen to that. I had one for about a month and it drove me crazy. Posted via Android Central App

I love my Note 2, but I do find that I occasionally do exactly what you're describing here, since the volume up button is exactly opposite the power button. Only a minor annoyance, but I could see the advantage to having them all on the same side. Plus, it it's sitting in a landscape dock, it would mean that all the buttons are available. I can see some potential benefit to the design, although it's going to be very subjective from person to person.

you mean like the last 5 Motorola devices I have owned? :-P

I'm glad you said something. I was thinking in my head. "Is that something new?"

The SG Note 10.1 has the power and volume rocker side by side, only closer together than what it appears to be on the Moto X. Sure, I've accidently pressed the wrong one a lot of times. It can be annoying, especially during a game, but it's not a deal breaker. Posted via Android Central App

As long as it has quad core 2 gb ram good camera and lte I think it will do well. If not it's a no go

It's well known that it's a dual core device.

Processor speed and RAM do not necessarily equate a quality user experience. It takes a combination of hardware and software to create a quality experience. Proof, go grab a 2.6 Ghz Octacore processer and 2 GB RAM chips and lay them on a table. Do you have the latest tech? Yes. Is it useful for you? No! The prosser and ram chips do no good sitting there. They need the right components and software to function. The Moto X is all about components and software, the many innovative sensors and contextual awareness software running on a near stock version of Android. Posted via Android Central App

This device looks so neat and beautiful. Good job Moto and Google !

Yeah, I can't wait to actually "test drive" one.

I'll most likely buy it. It looks real sleek and I like the curved design.

So how this phone performance compare with Nexus 4?

Nobody knows yet. It hasn't been in anyone's hands that can comment on the performance.

No stereo speakers... Eh. Posted via Android Central App

Yeah, I noticed that, too. Front facing speakers (a la HTC One and Nexus 10) are definitely the way to go. Cupping my hand behind my phone or Nexus 7 just isn't the same as having the speakers face the right way to begin with. Posted from my HTC EVO 4G LTE via Android Central App

Front facing Speakers definitely should be on Tablets, but for Phones they takes away space from Screen space on the front, rather have as much screen space as possible on the front of a phone.

HTC pulled it off just fine...

Yea I completely agree. Screen space is far more important to me then front facing speakers in my opinion. I can kind of see the reasoning behind putting them on tablets but on a phone? Do people generally blast music/movies in public? I'm usually carrying around headphones with me anyways. which sound 10 times better then any than tiny front facing speakers.

I wish the transparent nav bar would come to the nexus 4 Posted via Android Central App

Yeah I notice that too and it looks great. I hope they would add to 4.3 before the release.

I wish pie controls were part of stock android.
Overall I do like the design of this phone. If the rumored battery is in it combined with stock android and low power demanding specs,
you have a phone that will probably easily last two days. Heck probably more. I've got two days out of my HTC one before. I'll probably buy one. I love my HTC one but I want to have two phones. Posted via Android Central App

That might be why Motorola didn't max out the specs. That way they can keep up their rep for long battery life. Posted via Android Central App

At this point, great battery life is pretty much the only "feature" I'm really interested in.

Well.. No need to wait until Turkey Day for the Nexus 5.. You are basically looking at it right now.. Price will be the key for this phone if indeed it's a Dual-Core / 1 Gb of Ram device.. It's time for Samsung, Moto, LG, Sony to simply start paying royalties to HTC now.. And start putting the damn speakers on the front of these phones like they had the balls to do. I have a 24 inch monitor and I put my Note 1 up to the screen and the pic looks to scale on my screen.. this is a 5 - 5.2 inch screen...

Yeah, 2 GB of Ram.

Yup....nexus 5 would be more appropriate, imo. It looks similar to a N4, and there's no branding on the front, just like always with the Nexus line. It's a Nexus, people!!

The screen was measured at 4.7" and from leaks is rumored to be 720p. Not the biggest and baddest, but considering the screen is the most expensive component by far, that's probably where they saved a good chunk and can pass along those savings. Not to mention, if it is tuned well, you won't tell the difference between it and a 1080p screen without them next to each other, and it is significantly less power hungry. Overall, while my tech-geek side sighs at not having teh specz, my more practical side says this will be a low-cost device that performs really well and has ridiculous battery life, especially compared to other flagships that can make it 8-9 hours of heavy use (I expect the Moto X to easily last through a full day of heavy use, rather than gasping around early evening).

Front facing speaker= less screen space= not good. If it is a tablet with tons of space taking away by wide bezel then it might be OK, but for a phone screen area should be prioritized.

Eh..
Have you heard of the HTC One??? Looks Damn fine to me. with a pretty nice sized 1080P screen AND front facing speakers..

I have used it, it is the same length as GS4 yet GS4 have a 13% larger screen 5" screen compared to One's 4.7" due to not having front facing speakers. Proving my point that Front facing speakers= smaller screen.

Well??
If you need your 13% don't buy it....
Having either phone you loose 13% & 21% screen over my 5.3" Galaxy Note.. Sucks for the S4 & HTC One huh???

THE ON SCREEN BUTTON PANEL LOOKS A BIT TRANSPARENT... Posted via Android Central App

No shit Sherlock! HAHAHAHA puddy!

I'm really digging the design. I'm glad Motorola stuck with volume on the right side where I can access it with my thumb. I don't know about the center headphone jack but at least it's on the top and not the bottom (I don't understand why you would put it in your pocket upside-down). I just wonder what the i/o configuration is - I'm hoping for HDMI and micro USB side by side. Posted via Android Central App

You put your phone in your pocket upside down because when you retrieve it its in the correct position. No fiddling around.

+1 yeah I really got used to the upside down thing.

Yup...I really like the headphones on the bottom too...I miss it after coming from a nexus s

Nexus S is easily one of my top 5 favorite phones. Sucks they didn't stick with that design very long.

I'm going to get sick of this phone before it's even formally unveiled.

I read a leak somewhere that said this would come stock with a 1,500 mAH battery. I realize these are all leaks, but is it really possible for a new phone to regress that much in the battery department?

That one was unconfirmed. I think the app that was used couldn't recognize the battery. Posted via Android Central App

It looks like the original droid X just grown up with more curves then angles. Posted via Android Central App

Interesting... Are there any rumors of pricing or do we have to wait two weeks? Posted via Android Central App

Everything's been leaked but the pricing, unfortunately.

Although rumored to be from $199 to $299 off contract. That is the high and low that I have read. Posted via Android Central App

I'm just not getting that excited about this phone. The is just kinda bland IMO. Posted via Android Central App

That M button has to do something. I'm sure.

It's not a botton, it's a dimple

I read somewhere that the M button activates Google Now.

That runs like a quad core.

Half of the people that have commented/will comment on this article are people that are Samsung/HTC fanboys that were never even considering the Motorola X anyway. With that said, haters gonna hate. I can't wait, to learn more about all of the sensors and software enhancements that will make this phone unique. EDIT: If it's lower spec'd and/or excludes an SD card slot, it MUST be crap. /s

Well, I'm not considering this phone. :)

I'm just venting, lol. Not trying to offend anyone, I promise.

I had an Evo, then an Evo 3D and seriously debated the Evo LTE. But, in the end, I wanted something more productivity oriented and went with the Note 2. And I've loved it, too. Like someone else here said, the slightly lower spec's makes the gadget nerd in me sad, but my more practical side says that this will probably be a great phone with fantastic battery life. All that said, I (personally) could never live without an SD card and removable battery :)

This or whatever Nexus(4,5) is going to be my next phone. Posted via Android Central App

i'm getting the next Nexus. i hope there is one!

Me too! This thing has lower specs than last year's nexus Posted via me

Trust me, there will be a Nexus this fall. Let these fanboys drool over this one....can't wait to see what the next Nexus brings.

I can't wait, for the next Nexus, either =)

I see no mention of a SD slot...no SD, no sale...Samsung will continue to own android as long as these dumbass OEM's refuse to put what we want in the phones..... My wife and I would already carry Nexus phones if Google had not been so obstinate.....16GB is just NOT enough!
I have loved Moto Hardware for a long time, all the way back to my flip phone days, hell, I had a Moto analog BAG phone...LOL...the OG Atrix was a nice bit of hardware for its time, I hope Moto/Google bring it.

Naruvam says:
"Some people want sd slots. Most people doesn't realy carre bout them" You know what I find? those that were not wise enough to purchase a phone WITH an SD Card slot, are the ones that complain the loudest.. I know, a lot of you talk big but.. when it comes down to sitting at your computer, hooking your phone up to execute a rooting command that could turn your phone into a paperweight if you make ONE error, you run for the hills.. You can take a phone Like the Nexus 4 for $299.00 with it's 8 gigs of Storage, Root it.. Stick in a 64 Gb Class 10 SD Card and give your phone the command to reverse the primary storage option.. Now EVERYTHING you download and EVERYTHING you install will go to that 64 Gb SD Card... FIRST! The Nexus 4 already is unlocked and Rootable.. If only it had that SD Card Slot.... Hmmmm.. Believe me, you WOULD care about having one IF you truly understood the potential.. That's the option we Samsung owners have... And it's a big one.. don't fool yourself..

I've never really minded one way or the other. Even when I had a phone with an SD card I uploaded everything to the home file server nearly daily. I knew exactly what I was getting into and no complaints here on my 8GB Nexus 4 running CM 10.1.2. That said Sammy does make nice phones. I'd still get the lowest storage available, as I just have my way of doing things.

Sorry that you felt defensive about your N4.. I was not trying to put it down.. I just wanted to point out the potential of what an SD Card can bring to table if a person has the knowledge to utilize it.. It's a simple option to add to a phone.. and Google can find whatever excuse they want to NOT include one.. All I can say is Thank God for Samsung.. and as long as they keep allowing those of us who purchase their upper end products to have access to our Batteries and the option to use the SD Card slot if we so choose, They will continue to sell 30 Million "S-Series" phones and 20 Million "Note-Series" phones.

I still don't get this phone 2 less cores and low res screen then the n4 a year after the n4 . what is Google doing w moto. Unless we can buy unlocked for under $300 get an n4. Posted via me

Walk into a busy phone outlet store, ask everyone in there what specs are important to them. You will quickly see 9 out of 10 have no idea what specs you are talking about. Posted via Android Central App

So. Much. This. Posted via Android Central App

Everybody knows what 16GB is, and most people would agree it's not enough.

I disagree. Posted via Android Central App

In my experience, both of those statements are not true. Most people I know do not know how many MBs are in a GB or have any idea what the typical size of any file type is. I've heard a number of stories of people buying larger capacity apple products because they are either told or think that higher numbers means it's faster. It's scary, but a good portion of the general public is quite ignorant to electronics.

Screen size & PPI > all other specs.

Am I missing something? Why do people keep saying lower res screen than the Nexus 4? They're both 720p displays, right? And if the X has a smaller screen then it'll have a higher pixel density. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I was confused about that, as well. You are absolutely correct, though. Posted via Android Central App

If you want to be technical, the N4 is 768x1280, but that's just nitpicking. Posted via Android Central App

I forgot about that. I'm actually looking forward to the fewer pixels now. I didn't like how the Nexus 4's screen got a bit wider.

I actually prefer it and it saddens me to know that the Nexus 4 will most likely be one of the last (and few) slightly wider phones. Though on the other hand the Moto X doesn't look as narrow as other 720p phones if you ask me...

N4 have a 768*1280 display, a 720p screen would be lower res in comparison.

Also, the S4 Pro (if that's what it has) is anything but a slouch, even today. Posted via Android Central App

If the Nexus line remains GSM exclusive, this will be my next device. I might have to change my screen name to imamoto. Posted via Android Central App

Really hope the specs are better. Otherwise I will stick it out with my HTC one. :-) Sent from my HTC One

This phone will not compete, against the One, on specs. The One and S4 are certainly better spec'd. Posted via Android Central App

Specs don't really matter as long as the software is well optimized. For example, all iOS devices have very low specifications compared to flagship Android devices, yet they run very smoothly. That is because iOS is well optimized to run on lower end hardware. If Google can focus on software optimization, then a huge processor does nothing but waste battery. Posted from my Samsung Galaxy tab with Android 4.2.2

This. Posted via Android Central App

Aside from Screen size & PPI, all other specs are all frivolous and don't directly impact user experience(GS4 out spec the N4 significantly yet don't run as smooth due to Touchwiz)

Yeah, this latest iteration of TouchWiz seems like a memory (RAM and storage) hog, compared to previous (S1-S3) versions. Posted via Android Central App

While you are 100% correct about software optimization, that's not the whole picture. It's much easier to optimize the software when you're only targeting a couple of different hardware targets (like iOS does) than when you're making an OS (like Android) that can literally run on just about anything. And by "anything", I mean *anything*:
Check out misadigital dot c o m (AC, all URLs mean spam? Really?) I think part of the problem, historically, is that the OEMs really needed to be the ones to make these optimizations. That's why, when you buy a video card with an nVidia graphics chip it in, the manufacturer frequently has their own drivers, rather than just using the "reference" nVidia drivers. Anytime you incorporate a chip into a circuit board like that, the millions of possible combinations of other chips, and even how those chips are "wired" together on the board, can make a big different in how the code needs to be written to best utilize that hardware. Project butter was aimed an addressing this situation and, I imagine, Google is still planning on doing more on this front. But some of that is going to have to fall on the manufacturer of the hardware.

Sexiness. Posted via Android Central App

The first few rumors were saying that the logo on the back was actually a button. But I haven't seen anything since....has that rumor web debunked? Or is it still going on?

I think it's been debunked. I can't imagine, that a button, on the back of the phone, would be terribly useful.

I was wondering the same thing Posted via Android Central App

I thought Google changed the clock app in 4.3? At least I remember hearing that somewhere (probably on the leaked rom video for the s4). This has the normal one it looks like (and it's still ugly as sin).

Anyone have an idea what that little off centered white dot is suppose to be under the nav bar? Kinda irks me that it isn't centered lol

Maybe its the microphone? Posted from my Samsung Galaxy tab with Android 4.2.2

Microphone probaly, it's positioned on the same place as rear mic on back render... Posted via Android Central App

it looks the same as the notification led on the N4. If that's what it is and it's off-center like that it would annoy the hell out of me too

I would guess that it's the notification light. Probably off-centered so that, when you're holding the phone with your right hand, you're less likely to cover it up with your thumb. It's entirely possible that it wouldn't be that noticeable on the real device. You have to remember that these are an "artist rendering" of what the device looks like, not actually photographs.

Looks super sweet... I like the "plainness" of it! Posted via Android Central App

im somewhat excited about this phone. If its around that cheap price point off contract with ok specs and google support i would buy one . I love my N4 and it will be my main phone but id keep this as a back up

As long as it runs smoothly, it has wireless charging, and has multi-carrier LTE for the US I'll purchase one... Because that is one sexy device!!

Ive never been a Moto fan, but this looks quite nice. Doesnt even matter to me since I just upgraded my phone tho

Nice looking phone and I love the transparent on screen buttons instead of the black bar taking up screen space.

It would be awesome if the little dimple on the back had a sensor. When you put your finger in the dimple the phone starts listening almost like a quick switch for voice commands or dictation. Would be even cooler if it could recognize your voice and allow you to initiate commands while the screen is still off... Just a thought.

It can take commands, while the screen is off. Watch the leaked Rogers video, on YouTube. As you use the phone, it becomes tailored, to only respond to your voice. Posted via Android Central App

I don't wanna be a dick or anything :p...but i hate that the headphone jack is on top. I hate it on my n4 as well. I didn't think I would mind till i bought one.

Yeah, I got used, to having it on the bottom. It just seems more natural and convenient that way. Posted via Android Central App

What? No Motorola Circles widget???

Optimization of hardware and software is the key. That is why it is going to probably be one of the fastest, if not THE fastest Android phone on the market. Apple has shown this for years with the iPhone, and someone at Google finally noticed, and reacted. I can't imagine how fast an iPhone would be with a quad-core.:)

As an owner of an iPad Mini I can tell you, you are 100% correct.. My Mini only has a Dual-Core 1Gz CPU & 512 Megs of RAM.. Yet, SEVERAL Youtube comparisons against the Android Flagship.. 1.7 Ghz A-15 Dual-Core 2 Gb of Ram Nexus-10 show that where it studders in games like NFS Most Wanted & Grand Theft Auto my Mini Plays them ( Not to mention the Flagship iPad 4 ) Smooth as Silk.. Because Developers Optimize games for the iPad / iPhone 1st.. and Apple has total control over the Soft & Hardware.. Man.. a 1.9 Ghz Quad-Core Retina Display iPhone 6 with 2 Gigs of Ram... That would steal quite a bit of sales.

Yet my nexus 4 smashes it Posted via Android Central App

You are correct about optimization, but the comparison of an iPad Mini vs the Nexus 10 in playing a 3D is completely biased in favor of the iPad simply because of the *insane* pixel count of the Nexus 10. One of the most demanding jobs of a 3D hardware graphics accelerator is "drawing" the pixels on the screen. The ability to draw pixels quickly is referred to as a device's "fill rate". Aka: the rate at which the device can fill the screen. Looking back at the first "3D" arcade games (made by Vectrex) they were "wireframe" for exactly this reason. Google "star wars arcade game vector" and you'll find a reference to the first Star Wars game made (which is a lot of fun to play, BTW). I won't argue that Apple's iOS is *much* more optimized to run on their devices, largely because they only have to worry about a few hardware setups, but the comparison of the iPad Mini vs the Nexus 10 is Apples to Oranges for a completely different reason than software optimization or hardware specs. My Note 2 hasmore pixels than an iPad Mini and can run NFS Most Wanted without dropping a frame. iPad Mini: 786,432 pixels Galaxy Note 2: 921,600 pixels Nexus 10: 4,096,000 pixels The Nexus 10 has more than 5 *times* as many pixels as an iPad Mini.

sub 260$

This better not have a battery that's only 1500 mAh...I don't care if it lasts 3 days, I want more specs. And it better not have only a dual core processor. I don't care if its faster and smoother than phones with a quad core, I want more specs. I really don't give a crap about performance, cuz I just wanna show the specs off to my friends. "Hey buddy, look at all my cores!!"

Pricing.... Oh What A Key It's Going To Play With This One....

All I know is that if this phone is priced correctly and affordable it's going to sell a lot. I may buy it just to try it out. With lte or even hspa+ from tmobile it's looking to be a great little phone. Via Android Central App from a Galaxy Note 2

It's not a bad phone by any means...but it's not a super phone either. It's not an S4 or an HTC One. It's just another midrange phone. I don't understand why it's getting so much press. The Note 3 will be another super phone like the S4 and HTC One. Perhaps I'm missing something really exciting about the Moto X. Does it have 3 or 4GB of RAM? Does it have the Exynos 5 8-core BIG.little CPU? Does it come with 64GB of memory? Does it have a battery that lasts for 5 days? Is it made from some exotic and durable material? Posted via Android Central App

We'll find out about all that soon. Rumor is the battery will be pretty fantastic though. But right now its all excitement and buzz...which is exactly what good marketing should do.

This Posted via Android Central App

I think this is going to be an "every man phone". Not built for super high end specs, but it should just work right. Who knows, this may be very well where the Nexus line ends and X begins. With the specs leak I saw earlier, they should price it at $99 subsidized or $399 unsubsidized to undercut the iPhone by $100-$200. And with every carrier making plans to carry this phone. you know that this has to be something special.

Excited to hear the specs. Don't need the latest and greatest, but quad core, 32MB and near stock Android are a necessity to pull me away from my N4. Have to go back to taking it from behind by Verizon. Run my business on T Mobile and the few calls I drop or miss a month doesn't make up for the $70 vs $165 difference.

I've never been more split. For me it's all about keeping my unlimited data on Verizon. So price has never been as big a factor for me right now. I'm on edge waiting. As long as it's fast, stays fast over time, and I can use it without running for a power outlet I'm sold.

I want that background.

This is the most overhyped mid-range uninteresting device ever. The HTC ONE Mini or the Galaxy S4 Mini are as interesting as this thing is (i.e. not at all).

So based on the alarm on the screen, can we say it comes out on September 25? Posted via Android Central App

If it's on Verizon and less than $300 *RETAIL*, I'll buy it.
Otherwise it's just a refresh of my Razr HD in a new case.

I don't understand why people are moronic
Who cares if the phone only has 2 cores. If you actually spend time optimizing the software than even with 2 cores the phone has the potential to be as smooth and fast as anything out there. Does everyone really believe that Google would buy Motorola for an extreme amount of money and put this much hype into a phone if it wasn't the greatest or close to the greatest phone ever?! Come on, they are spending close to 500 million to advertise the moto x. Yea so what it has a 720 screen, the pixel density is maxed out for what the human eye can see. It doesn't matter what it says on paper about this phone, the everyday person could care less about specs, hell they don't know what they are. This phone is going to own, its not possible for it to be bad. Not at all. Especially if it cost between 2 and 3 hundred dollars. I planned on keeping my s3 but if the moto x is that cheap I'm buying it. Posted via Android Central App

If you think that this phone is going to be the closest to the greatest thing ever, then you are just fooling yourself. Don't get me wrong, I think this phone will be great for the normal customer. But it just makes me laugh that all of a sudden a lot of you are jumping on this ''specs don't matter'' bandwagon bs. I guarantee these were the same people that were all about specs just few months ago.

This x infinity! Imo it sounds most people are just trying to find excuses to justify their future purchase! Posted via Android Central App

Is it me or is this phone, well, boring. I don't see this even being a close to challenge for the tba ip5s, SGSN3, SGS4 and HTC one. It will probably outsell the tba nexus 5 though Posted via Android Central App

Looks like my n4 in a way. I'm all about better specs and this just isn't gonna do it for me, I had high hopes but looks like I'll be waiting. Moto x why!? Lol Posted via Android Central App
