Verttex · Sep 5, 2014

Heyo all!

Motorola just lifted the NDA on the new Moto X and so a flood of information will be coming out about it over the next few days. In fact, some sites already have reviews.

I will put links here to official statements and third party reviews:

The Verge Review (8.8/10)
Android Central Hands-on with the New Moto X
Android Central Video Hands-on
Gizmodo Hands-on

I will add links as more come out.

Oh yeah, and there is also this little thing that I don't think anyone saw coming.

Replies to this thread should can involve thoughts, discussions and questions you guys may have about these new devices.

Enjoy!

My personal thoughts on each device:

The new X doesn't look great to me. That ring around the camera really turns me off and I don't know how I feel about the new leather backplate options.

As for the 360, I'll have to try one before I buy one. I've heard that it doesn't have the greatest battery life but other than that is supposed to be phenomenal.

The leather is an option which mean you don't have to select it if you don't like it. Unless you are part of Peta or your religion is against it, but I'm hoping it's some type of fake leather.

I'm a bit grumpy right now. I desperately want qi charging for the X and NFC for the G, it doesn't look like either will get them.

I rather get the N6 for Android L and qi charging in that case. But I can still sell my OnePlus to fund for the X.

I have no interest in wearing a watch whether analog or digital.

I was using a Galaxy 10.1 Tablet earlier today with the faux leather the S5 has and it was alright I guess. I just wasn't amazed.

Yes it's an option, but it's a premium option. I was saying that I don't know how I feel about it because who knows, it might be better than what's on the S5.

The leather comes from the Horween leather company, they work with bovine and equine hide. I personally don't like leather (real or faux) unless it servers a purpose, belt, shoes and coat. Back on topic though, I know what my neXt phone will be, I'd even go with the G over other flagships out there.

Tbh, bigger screen, stronger processor, leather/wood back cover, higher cam and stuff, they are useless for me.

Just one thing me want from the new moto X, is the customizable voice command trigger. Or they will bring that to old Moto X as well?

Infekxion · Sep 5, 2014

Contextual services got updated which brought drive and home mode to the G and E so that's a possibility.

Anyone know if it uses the same sized SIM card as the current Moto X?

Infekxion · Sep 5, 2014

It does

I see where you're going there.

It has been said that the 1st Gen Moto X will receive updates to those services. It will also get Android L when it becomes available.

According to the official Moto site, the voice command trigger is customizable.

sweet, you just saved me from spend 500$ for that, now i can wait for the update in peace :fingers-crossed:

I'm in. Have an upgrade to use and I doubt the Nexus X will be available on VZW. Only other phone I might consider is the Note 4, no interest in the One or G3.

The metal frame is a welcome surprise.

I like the fact the new moto voice can interact with whatsapp. Now that whatsapp has replaced 99% of my texting, this is a must have feature

After seeing how big the new x is I'm glad I got the og moto x for my wife. That would be to big for her plus it just cost me .95 cents at best buy. I think they went to big to fast 4.7 to 5.2 inch a big difference. I think the main issue that will turn off current moto x owners will be the size. Also is there no qi charger? If so that is a huge mistake as well. As far as aesthetics I don't think it looks that bad. However I do think the og x looks better.

I read on Gizmod that it's NOT coming to the OG Moto X. They even said as much as OG Moto X dead end device.

The battery is by FAR the most disappointing feature.
