[Q] Switching to Moto X 2014?

[kjozsa]

Is there anyone who made this move already, dumping the Razr i for a 2014 Moto X? I'm considering this step heavily at the moment but I'm really worrying about switching to a much larger phone.. I love the dimensions of the XT890 really.

I would love to hear about the experience of anyone who already switched, or the openion of anyone who is considering it currently like me..

I don't have moto x and wish Motorola would release a best competitor for Xperia 3 Compact. Moto X was very good but 2nd Generation it's just too big for me

Now that you mention, a couple of months ago it was claimed that Motorola will release maybe eight phones till the end of this year? I'm not sure about the actual number but it was something like that.. and yeah, a thin phone about 12.5-13cm height would be just perfect.

Still,I feel the new X quite tempting, I think I could get used to its size. I did not yet see it in person though..

i just switched to Galaxy S5 with 5.1 inch FullHD.
After one day of usage i will never go back to Razri because of the screensize and resolution.

maybe you and your brother are twins

Did the jump to Moto X(2014).

It's BIG and I have small hands. Nearly sent it back after two days.

But now after a week I am getting used to it and don't want to go back.
It's fast, smooth, the voice commands are great (taking a call while being in the shower).
The build quality feels awesome.

Try it for your self but beware it takes a while to get used to it.

oh, Motorola UK made the decision easier for me. I placed the order for the new X on Cyber Monday and they cancelled it because it was paid by a non-UK debit card. No hard feelings, "their country, their rules.." as I learnt in Switzerland

I'll keep the Razr i for now (I have small hands too and I love its form factor) and I might get a Sony Z3 Compact one day (or its successor), we'll see..

I just jumped from the RAZR I to the z1 compact. As I did get a moto g but sold that and went back to the RAZR I. But at the start of this month a was feed up with the RAZR I but like its size so ended up getting the Sony z1c and so glad I did its the same size as the RAZR I just a bit thicker.
And to be honest there is such a difference. Ie RAZR I 2ghz 1 core Sony z1c 2.2ghz 4 core.

Also the entire Sony Z range is awaiting a aosp 5.0 update starting early 2015.

Don't get me wrong there are down side's to the z1 z1c z2 z3 and z3c. Main one for me being the glass back. As a result it well only stay still on a flat surface even on a slight angle it just slides. (Meaning I can't lean my phone agents things on a table/side board as it just slips over.

IMO although a 20.7 mp camera I think the RAZR I camera is better don't get me wrong on the z1c the picture is very crisp BUT when zoomed they become blurred more so then on the RAZR I which is only 8mp. This said the Sony camera stock app has so many features such as AR shot, motion shot, time shift and so on.

Every day use is so much faster and smoother on the z1c apart from again the camera which loads faster on the RAZR I although using time shift on the z1c is as fast as burst on the RAZR I. But 20 shots on z1c and 10 on the RAZR I again IMO the razr I burst gives better images.

Look and feel.
Apart from the glass back there really is no difference between the RAZR I and the z1c. ( I know the z3c is slightly bigger)

And IMHO for a device the same size be it the z1c or the slightly bigger z3c when it comes to mini phone's there is no other mini phone that comes close the the z1c/z3c in spec. lG G3s and Samsung galaxy s4 mini are half the spec. Where the z1c and z3c are the same spec as the full size z1 and z3.

Overall
I think if you are OK with the glass back (I got a case)
Then you can't at the moment you can't get a better replacement then the z1/3c in the same size as the RAZR I

This is just my opinion!!!

I doubt I'll ever buy another Motorola phone after being a fan over 10 years. Starting with the locking of the bootloader on my OG RAZR, and the dismal lack of updates on the entire RAZR line, I'm done. If I ever come back to Android, it will probably be to a company that both promises and delivers upgrades and support. Maybe Sony, maybe Nexus.

Not to mention disabling the FM radio. Total BS.

For the record, I'll receive my Z3C on Monday. See you Motorola, maybe I'll be back one day.

You will not be disappointed. And your z3c will get aosp 5.0 b4 RAZR I gets 4.4.2

Did the same jump (Razr i --> Moto X 2014). I have big hands and love the bigger screen ; ) Voice commands are not for me.

What persuaded me never to go back is the Active Display! It is really superior to a notification LED even though it took a while to get used to the missing LED. Just hold your hands in the proximity of the phone and the notification/clock screen will light up. And if there are notifications, the screen will actually pulse on and off unless the phone is in your pocket ...

I made the jump to the Sony Z3 Compact (orange one). I love it's size, performance, battery and the incredible build quality of the product a lot, and I really do miss the AMOLED display. Regardless, I consider it to be an excellent decision.

I made the jump to OnePlus One, I don't regret a single thing about it but what happened to me today made me love my razr i, you've gotta read this, although most of you won't believe it but still it is worth telling.
It ocurred to me that the battery wasn't working well in the razr so I fired Antutu and started a stability test as I was relaxing at the pool. I left my phone under a little space that the table has (by the pool). My mother who is 70% blind moved the table to the otherside of the pool while she was cleaning it. The phone fell into the almost empty pool while running the stability test and it WENT INTO THE FILTER (THE ONE USED TO CLEAN THE POOL, SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH). Luckily the filter has a previous filter without entering the water bomb that saved the phone. One hour later I come by the pool again to pick the phone and it just wasn't there, I saw the table had been moved so I asked my mom and she said she didn't know where the phone was. It ocurred to me it might be over the side of the pool, by the grass or the trees so I searched for it and I saw the light through one of the filter holes that is supposed to show the moment that you have to clean it, YES, THE PHONE WAS RUNNING THE STABILITY TEST AT 93% COMPLETION, I WAS SHOCKED....
The camera doesn't work, neither does the volume up button, one hour of water, absoultely incredible.
MOTOROLA, MAKE MORE OF THIS DAMN GOOD PHONES PLEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASEEEEEEE.
I just wished I had bought the Moto X or the Droid MAXX.....
