Motorola Moto X Review

Motorola Moto X is a fascinating phone released many years ago, packing a great 1700 megahertz Dual-Core CPU, a 4.7-inches capacitive touch-screen, a 10 MP back-facing camera and a 2 megapixels front camera. We will get a better understanding of this device's specs when we get into more details.

The Motorola Moto X's thickness , 0.41", is a little far from today's standards, but it still feels quite right in the hand. The Motorola Moto X is a very compact device, given that it packs a 4.7 inches screen and it's just 5.09" long and 2.57 inches wide. This phone is for sale in a lot of color variations: black, brown, green, blue, red and white. This phone isn't very light for a cellphone this size, weighting 4.59 oz.

This phone ships with a Motorola X8 (Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro MSM8960) chip, packing an extremely fast Dual-Core CPU clocking at 1.7 GHz with a great 2 GB RAM memory. Graphic rendering often uses a lot of processing power, so this device has an additional Adreno 320 graphic processing unit running at 400 MHz to unload the CPU. This cellphone counts with aquite big 16 GB internal memory and although it doesn't include an SD memory slot, it is enough to install a couple hundred apps, although it may not be suitable if you are planning to install a couple of the heaviest games available nowadays.

The is equipped with two cameras, a 10 MP back-facing camera and a 2 MP front facing camera. It also films Full HD 1920x1080 videos at 60 fps. This cellphone also has a few good characteristics: auto-focus, flash, HDR mode and geo tagging.

This phone is equipped with an astonishing 4.7 inches screen with a 1280 x 720 (HD) resolution, which makes everything look absolutely great. This screen uses AMOLED capacitive technology, and has multi-touch detection.

This cellphone uses a large 2200 mAh non-replaceable battery, which isn't very promising for a device like this. Motorola afirms this cellphone has a talk time of 13 hs and a stand by time of 240 hours. An issue to take into account is that this phone's battery is not removable so you can't buy a new battery when it begins losing capacity, even though having 2200 mAh you will probably replace this phone before it happens.

The Motorola Moto X counts with WiFi connection (and it can be provided to other devices around, as a mobile hotspot), LTE 4G high performance connection and also HSPA+ internet connection, which is a slower 4G variation and 3G fast connectivity, using HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This cellphone works with a Nano SIM card to connect to GSM networks and it can use both CDMA and GSM carriers.

This device also comes with a handful of interesting features such as NFC (Near Field Communication), Bluetooth (allows communication with other devices, computers, and accessories) and GPS (Global Positioning System), and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Barometer and Compass.

Motorola offers the Motorola Moto X for 175 dollars, which is quite expensive for this kind of cellphone. No matter whether you are an amateur photographer, want this phone mostly for internet broswing and social networks, want a gamer phone or need it for work, this cellphone is definitely the right one for you.
