Is the Moto X still a good buy?

[Snake Griffin]

Bought mine in February and if it broke or I lost it and I needed a phone right now I'd buy another one.

Bought mine in Feb. Bought my girlfriend one in April to replace her iPhone 4s. It's still the best sized handset on the market IMHO.

Love these threads; my wife is about to pull the trigger on one and I came here looking for just this question lol. My N5 is a tiny bit too big and the X fits her hand better. Her biggest issue is storage on her One VX; HTC split the available onboard into two buckets for some reason and have made it impossible to switch apps to a different bucket resulting in space not available issues. She's not that demanding on the hardware and wants to keep it a long time; the VX performs great and I hear no complaints from that end, so I was thinking the X would be a good choice for her. Since it's mostly stock it's not much of a learning curve as she has a N7 2013...

The X would be a great choice! My wife loves her Moto X (1053) ... fits her hand very nicely.

At this point you should just wait until the moto x2. They say release is by summer

Concern there is size and price. Maybe they'll buck the trend and keep the same size; but no idea.

The only time my Moto X "feels" slow is if I'm comparing benchmarks to a newer device. Other than that, in day-to-day tasks, the phone doesn't lag, doesn't stutter.

everyone in this thread is typing what I preach its just a phone that works I was unlucky enough to have issues like the camara lens getting foggy because of some spacer between camara its on the forums somewhere and my rear casing cracked.. they are sending me another just the bad things is I live in a high humid area if they try to say it was water damaged. im going to be mad but phone works 100% of the time and its battery is amazing!

I think Moto is giving everyone a free "accident" replacement no questions asked at this point even if they think it's something you did.

I wonder if that'll be the case in two years. Just thinking out loud so to speak. She's gonna want to stick with it for awhile. But the fact she hasn't complained about performance in her mid-range 2012 Sense 4 phone makes me think it'll work. Especially since we'll buy unlocked and be free of carrier stink.

I'm almost nine months into my time with the Moto X. Unlike all other Android devices I've had, this phone is showing no signs of slowing down.

Excellent, great to know!

I just bought my third Moto X. This time I picked up a 32gb walnut Moto X on Swappa for a price that I just could not pass up. I have a non customized 16gb Moto X that I will pass off to one of my kids. I have a Note 3, but I still use my Moto X when I don't want to have to deal with the size of the Note 3. I always miss the active notifications when I switch back to the note. The Moto X is certainly one of, if not the best, deal out there. I have been using one off and on since fall and I have never experience even a little stutter or lag. Just a great phone in pretty much every way. The camera is not great, but it is no where near as bad as some people make it sound. I am just hoping that they don't mess with size too much on the next one. It is the perfect size if you ask me.

haven't dug up many rumors; just that September looks likely and (of course) a bigger screen because apparently it's illegal to keep the same screen size....

The more my wife holds my N5 the more she leans toward the X...It's $50 more for the 32 gb but...comfort matters. If you misjudge it you're reminded of it every time you pick it up (I know from experience).

I think this phone is a good buy still. Had the m8 and hated the size (mostly the length) and repurchased a moto x. Fell back in love with it all over again.

She took the plunge, ordered a 32gb unlocked, white front, black accents.

So far I still like the phone. Just waiting for the update.

My wife digs hers. It's funny, the phone is smaller than her old one even with the slightly bigger screen. Yay efficient packaging.

I would say that, yes, it still is an excellent buy. I've owned nearly every Android phone that has come out, and just switched back from an iPhone 5S.

The ONLY thing I miss is the iPhone 5S camera. Past that, the Moto X is an outstanding buy. I would highly recommend it.
