Advantages and Disadvantages of the Motorola Moto X

For sure there are many high-end smartphone available to choose right away now. It just needs how much money you have and what kind of needs you want. Other than any brand, the Motorola Moto X certainly is a smartphone full of character. Instead of following the established trend set by high-end Androids over the years, it dares go where no other handset has gone before. It may not look the flagship part on paper but it very much feels like one in real life.

From the day it broke cover, pundits and consumers alike have criticized the Moto X's lack of top-tier SoC and display. After wrapping up our review, we have to say that those aren't as bad as they are portrayed to be. The device will very rarely feel underpowered and the screen is still pretty great. Future-proofing is a whole other story of course, and it's probably one that Motorola isn't too keen on telling.

The ergonomics of the Motorola Moto X are among its most potent weapons - despite not being particularly slim, the smartphone handles better than just about any other high-end droid. We are also glad to report that, while the Moto X brings few changes to the stock Android experience, they all work great. From the always active voice commands, through the Active display to the innovative camera-launching gesture - it's all working as Motorola promises.

Another big draw of the Moto X is the Moto Maker design studio. If nothing else the hundreds of combinations that you can preview in detail on your screen will serve as great promo for the smartphone.

The biggest flaw of the Motorola Moto X as far as its smartphone skills are concerned is the lack of expandable memory. The 16GB version comes with only 11.9GB available - hardly sufficient considering the fact that a high-end mobile game can easily take over a gig of space. The 10MP only stills from the camera don't help the cause either.

Google has tried to offset the limited storage by offering 50GB of free Drive cloud storage, but that's hardly an optimal solution. The far better solution is for you to spend an extra $50 for the 32GB version of the Moto X. Which leads us to our main issue with the smartphone.

As if it wasn't bad enough that Motorola is only going to sell the Moto X only in the US, the company has also made the 32GB version and the Moto Maker exclusive to AT&T. The other major carriers are getting a smartphone that's not only more expensive than its better-spec'd rivals, but also deprived of two of its most valuable arguments. Motorola might have as well made this one an AT&T exclusive.

So assuming you do the sensible thing and go for the 32GB Moto X from AT&T you should be ready to part with $249.99 and sign a new two-year commitment. And as every deal, this one can only be ruled good or bad when you see what else you can get.

With the Moto X, Motorola has taken a rather unorthodox approach towards designing a top-shelf Android smartphone. Instead of focusing solely on putting together the most powerful hardware available on the market, Motorola's engineers have put more emphasis on ergonomics and software goodies. To top things off, the Motorola Moto X will be built in the United States with an unprecedented set of appearance customization options.

The one Moto X feature which its manufacturer is boasting about the most is Moto Maker. It offers you the option to design your own Moto X by choosing from hundreds of combinations and you also get to tune your boot animation and wallpaper before you have even received the smartphone. It is a clear sign that innovation hasn't dried up at Motorola, but we are yet to see how well it will be received by the market.

Advantages

• Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE; quad-band UMTS/HSPA support
• 100Mbps LTE with a second dedicated antenna

Motorola Nexus 5, A New Nexus Family Reported to Be True

Android smartphone may be the king of smartphone right now. It offers different taste and experience than other OS. Even other OS smartphone are also give what they have to people, but consumers can choose what suits them. Indeed, consumers know what they want from the producers which in this case are the manufacturer from any countries.

Earlier today we’ve told you about a report claiming that the Nexus 5 will be developed by LG, just like it happened with its predecessor, the Nexus 4. Well, the infamous @evleaks thinks otherwise, saying that the next-gen Nexus smartphone will be a Motorola handset.

Each and every smartphone enthusiast knows about @evleaks, but if you don’t learn he has made a name for himself on the scene by leaking info and pictures of unreleased products and his reports are most of the time accurate.

This time @evleaks though it’s about time to dismiss some rumors about an alleged Nexus 5 photo that made the headlines over the past couple of days. Evan Bass claims that the “Nexus 5 [we've seen in leaked pictures] is probably the LG Optimus L9 II,” adding that the Nexus 5 will most likely be a Motorola handset. He also mentions about the name of Nexus 4 v2.

@evleaks’ claims check out with Tailor Wimberly’s report saying that we will see a Motorola Nexus 5 in Q4 2013. Wimberly has been pretty accurate with the Moto X rumors, thus we are tempted to believe his reports. The same source said that the Nexus 5 will be different from the Moto X Google Edition, which keeps us wondering about the smartphone’s technical specifications.
Anyway, it reports are indicating that Google plans have a Nexus 4 price point approach for the Nexus 5, too. Therefore we might see the next-gen Nexus smartphone selling through Google Play at a price starting $299.

But will the Motorola Nexus 5 cannibalize Moto X’s sales? No, it won’t as the two smartphones aim at different public segments. The Moto X will be like an iPhone of Android world, an easy to use smartphone that packs a couple of cool features, but which will be the most customizable smartphone ever in terms of design. A smartphone designed for the masses. On the other hand the Nexus 5 will be an affordable terminal with technical specifications placing it at the border between mid-range and high-end segments, with unlocked bootloader and stock Android, aiming at the tech savvy type.
