Motorola Moto X (2014) Review

U.S. Cellular (XT1093)     See other variants reviews Score: 73.4 / 100

Motorola Moto X (2014) is a very complete Android cellphone released back in the year 2014, with a very fast 2500 megahertz Quad-Core CPU, a pretty large 5.2 inches multi touch screen, and two cameras, a 13 MP back side camera and a 2 megapixels front-facing camera. That's all? Not at all, it's just the introduction of this extreme review.

This cellphone feels much lighter than what you would expect from a cellphone of this size. The is just 5.54 inches long, but it is able to fit a a 5.2" screen. This phone is very thin and comfortable, being just 0.39 inches thick. Motorola justmade this cellphone in color gold.

Motorola equipped this cellphone with a completely amazing 5.2" display, and a 1920 x 1080 (Full HD) resolution, which makes all images and videos look amazing. This display uses AMOLED capacitive technology, and has multi-touch detection.

Motorola decided to power this device with an exceptional Quad-Core processing unit speeding at 2500 MHz, bundled in the Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 8974-AC chip and a huge 2 GB RAM. Graphic calculations usually uses a lot of processing power, so it counts with an additional Adreno 330 GPU speeding at 450 megahertz to help the CPU with those tasks. This device has a impressive 32 GB internal storage and although it doesn't include an SD extension slot, it is still enough to store tons of applications, games, photos and videos without worrying about how much memory is left.

The offers wifi capability (which it can share with other devices acting as a mobile hotspot), 4G (LTE) fast connection and also HSPA+ internet connection, a bit slower 4G technology and 3G fast internet connection, using HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. The Motorola Moto X (2014) works with a SIM card for GSM networks and it can work with both GSM and CDMA carriers.

The Motorola Moto X (2014) has two cameras, a 13 megapixels back-facing camera and a 2 megapixels front facing camera. Even though it's 13 megapixels might appear incredible the back-facing camera has a small 0.326797-inches sensor it takes darker photographs than you would expect. It is also able to film videos in 4K 3840x2160 at 30 frames per second. To complete the camera, it also includes lots of useful features like auto-focus, flash, fast burst mode, HDR mode, face detection shooting and geo tagging.

The has a 2300 mAh inmense replaceable battery that can keep it running for many hours, although you may need to charge it if you use it heavily.

This cellphone also comes with a handful of interesting characteristics as NFC, Bluetooth (for communication with other bluetooth devices, computers, and accessories) and GPS Localization, and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

The may not be so convinient considering it costs 249 dollars, while other similar devices are being sold cheaper than that. The Motorola Moto X (2014) is the correct option for you no matter whether you you love taking photos, need a work cellphone, need a phone to mostly use social networks or need a phone for gaming.
