Motorola Moto X (2014) Review

Pure Edition, for T-Mobile (XT1095)     See other variants reviews Score: 73.4 / 100

Motorola Moto X (2014) is a very high-end Android phone released back in the year 2014, featuring a high speed 2.5 GHz Quad-Core CPU, a 5.2 inches multi-touch capacitive display, and 2 cameras, a 13 mega-pixels back-facing camera and a 2 mega-pixels front camera.

This phone is extremely slim, with a thickness of just 0.39 inches. This phone only has 5.54" long, but it is still able to fit a a 5.2" display. Motorola is offering this cellphone in color gold. This cellphone feels much lighter than what one would expect from a cellphone like this.

Motorola designed this cellphone with a incredible 5.2-inches display, and a 1920 x 1080 (Full HD) resolution, making everything look perfect. This display uses AMOLED capacitive technology, and can detect multi touch gestures.

Motorola equipped the with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 8974-AC chip, holding an exceptional Quad-Core CPU running at 2.5 gigahertz with a great 2 GB RAM memory. Helping with graphic rendering, this phone also uses an Adreno 330 graphic processing unit ticking at 450 megahertz. An excellent aspect of the Motorola Moto X (2014) is its 32 GB huge internal storage memory and though it doesn't come with an SD memory slot, it it is more than enough to store tons of apps, games, photos and videos without worrying about running out of space.

This cellphone features two cameras, a 13 mega-pixels back camera and a 2 megapixels front camera. Although it's 13 MP might sound amazing the back camera has a very little 0.326797-inches sensor it takes darker photographs than it should. It also films 4K 3840x2160 videos at 30 frames per second. This camera also has lots of valuable features like flash, auto-focus, face detection shooting, fast burst mode, HDR mode and geo tagging.

The has WiFi connectivity (and it can be shared with other devices as a mobile hotspot), 4G (LTE) high speed connection type and also HSPA+ internet connection, which is a bit slower 4G variation and the fastest 3G connection type, over HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This cellphone works with a SIM card for GSM networks and it works with both CDMA and GSM.

This cellphone has a big 2300 mAh battery that can keep this phone running for many hours, although you may need to charge it after some heavy use.

This phone also comes with a few interesting characteristics as Near Field Communication (NFC), Bluetooth (4.0) and GPS Localization, and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

This phone might not be such a good choice considering it is priced 270 dollars, while other similar phones cost a bit less than that. It doesn't matter whether you want a phone mainly for internet broswing and social networks, will use this phone to play lots of games, are an amateur photographer or need it for work, you will probably love this device.
