Seriously though Moto do android right, stock but with some added goodies on top that don't get in the way. Only OEM to make me seriously consider moving from Nexus.

Tbh, the most interesting bit about the new Moto X for me is the Turbo Charger. 8 hours of battery in 15 minutes?

Wait what
Edit: nice
Now if nexus 6 is 499 I'll have to make a difficult decision

Scroll to the bottom of the Moto X page:
I'm skeptical you'll consistently get that kind of performance, but if it comes anywhere close, I'd take it.
Sounds good. If it works in PC USB ports (unlikely), then it would be back on my radar even with the small childs battery,

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Even with the fast charge I just don't want to have to charge at all so quickly during the day. IDK 2300 vs 2700+ for other phones seems like a draw back.
In general the new Moto X looks solid.
I personally like the Sony stuff better though. I like the design better. I like the camera more. Prefer the bigger battery etc..
Wish the Moto G wasn't such a meh update. I guess cost was of utmost importance, but I'm surprised Moto didn't go with the Snap 410 instead.

Wait so the new moto g has the same innards as before and just got a size bump? And it went back to 3g even after the LTE moto g has been around for a few months?
What
Also, was the original moto x so expensive at launch? I thought it was just $50 more than nexus 5 last year.

The first Moto X was $579 at launch. This new Moto X is rumored to be $399. Not bad!
2300mah battery? Fuck off Moto. The new Nexus end up being 2400mah lol. Xperia Z3C is in the front running for me now. I don't give a shit if the battery is well optimized. They still should have done much better. It's more significant here because the battery is not removable.

I thought that it's going to be $500. But wow so the moto x dropped in price pretty quickly last year, huh.
One plus one just posted this on FB:
OnePlus needs to chill the fuck out, honestly. First they try comparing the 1+1 to the Note 4, now this. Can't even buy their goddamn phone so it doesn't matter if it's better.
I'd wait for some battery tests before closing the book on Moto.
Really glad Motorola switched lens manufacturers.

I don't think I'll ever get a phone without an SD card slot.
"Can't buy our phone, here's a sexist contest, but hey, we're cool and have a better phone." It's the lamest phone promotion ever IMO. At least the other companies get their products out and don't attempt some lame slight-of-hand to make themselves seem like some small startup when in actuality they're part of a big conglomerate.

Hello September 30th
Hello September 30th
battery life makes it a horrible device. I dont care how nice it is, or its features... if it cant last for full 24hrs then it is dead end product.
Apparently battery is tiny in it - only 310 mAh.
LG G Watch has 400 mAh and people still complained about battery life. SW3 has 420 mAh, ZenWatch has between 380mAh and 420mAh (not sure exactly).

The fashion watch has been getting bigger in the last few years. It's not an issue if your watch is cheap enough (under 200).
I still want to get a (low end) Rolex for my wife one day, but its something we can pass down to the kid if we have one. Watch has changed entirely from a tool to a accessory.

You didn't know the Moto X dropped price right after launch due to lack of interest?
All those wooden Moto X backs reminds me of :
Motorola leads all OEM's in terms of Android updates. It's why they chose to stick to pure Android -- faster updates.
The Moto X was the first phone with KitKat, ahead of the Nexus line.

For everyone complaining about the lack of SD card needs to get a clue. There is always going to be something missing from a phone as it obviously cant have every feature possible. I would MUCH rather pay 500 without contract than 650 for a phone with the same CPU and if losing the sd card gets me there than so be it. Do you even know how risky or expensive it can be to include an sd card?

It was very obvious IMO that the new Moto X wouldnt have an sd card based on the rumors and previous model so stop filling this thread up with your stupid posts.

Wow.
Anyway, I've grown to live without an SD card, as long as the phone has 64gb internal. I'd happily sacrifice an SD slot for more internal storage or a bigger battery, but it doesn't seem like the Moto X is doing either of those.

Hey folks, has anyone tried Android L on their Nexus 4? Is it worth the risk?

The Moto X should work as a daily driver for the average person on the street.
If this case:
http://mugen.co/mugen-power-2800mah...se-with-sd-card-slot-for-motorola-moto-x.html
is compatible with the Moto X then the sd card issue is eliminated completely.
I'll wait for the Anandetech, MKBHD, Erica Griffin reviews before I make any purchasing decision.

I'm in the market for a temporary cheap smartphone. Since this new Moto G is relatively cheap, it might push down the last year model's price. I might look into the last year model (since my only other option is the Lumia 520/530 which seems like a bargain at about £40 used).

Moto X is too damn expensive
for what it is
A flagship device that can stand toe-to-toe with the G3 or Galaxy S5?
