Motorola Moto X Review Summary: Pros and Cons, Prices, and Specs You Need to Know
Here's our breakdown of everything you need to know about the Motorola Moto X.
Pros and Cons
The customizable shells make the Moto X one of the more unique smartphones in the industry.
You can choose the color, accents and other subtle features based on your personal style.
Features like Active Display and Quick Capture that are built into the Android platform by Motorola
make the phone more unique. Other notable features include Touchless Control and Kevlar-lined
durability.
Unlike its competitors, the Moto X doesn't have a storage expansion slot. The 4.7-inch display
may be large enough, but it supports only 720p HD and not 1080p HD, which has become the
normal industry standard. If anyone wants to order a custom-designed Moto X, they will be
restricted to only one carrier - AT&T. Besides, the phone has a maximum storage capacity of
64GB, while most other brands have devices that could be expanded up to 128GB.
Specs
The Motorola Moto X features a 4.7-inch AMOLED display with 720x1280-pixel resolution
and 312 ppi pixel density. The smart phone is available in three storage configurations - 16GB,
32GB and 64GB, all supporting 2GB RAM. The primary camera has a 10-MP lens that can
capture images at 4320x2432 pixels and the secondary camera has a 2-MP lens.
The Moto X is powered by Android Jelly Bean and can be upgraded to Android KitKat. At the
heart of the phone is a dual-core 1.7-GHz Krait CPU. The processing power gets a boost with the
Motorola X8 Mobile Computing System. The 2,200 mAh battery supports around 24 hours of
mixed usage and the phone weighs just 130g.
Talking Points
The Motorola Moto X was launched in August 2013, and was one of the first devices to be released from
the Motorola stable after the brand was acquired by Google. Custom-order, contextual awareness,
and voice recognition are some of the main selling points of the phone.
Prices
The Motorola Moto X is available for purchase at a price tag of between $399 and $630.
Conclusion
Given the price tag, the Moto X has limited storage capacity. There are many phones in the same
price range that are available with expandable storage, therefore, it doesn't make much sense to choose
the 16GB or 32GB models.
