I don't think people ever really realized that the Nexus 4 didn't actually retail for $299/$349, it retailed at typical flagship pricing. T-Mobile sold it unlocked for, what was it, $500 or $600? Definitely not cheap. This applied to every other official retailer that wasn't Google. The ONLY...

Last I checked, the entire OS was GPU accelerated, and most apps that use even slightly up-to-date APIs (so most apps that are actually worth using) most likely do as well. These aren't Android 2.X days anymore. The GPU will do a significant amount of work loading the GUI. Also, an optimized...

Here's more benchmarks: Performance preview: The Moto X sports a great GPU, respectable CPU | Ars Technica The Moto X wins in every single GPU benchmark. It's the GPU that is so powerful in the Moto X, and even the CPU is no slouch. The "overall" benchmarks utilize every core, something that...

In all seriousness though, I like those drawings. I like how they actually stay true to the Moto X design, and still incorporate some extra goodies like stereo speakers. Still, to be honest, I wouldn't care that much about steroe speakers. I just want the speakers to be front facing. I strongly...

YES! time to rev up the hype machine for the next X-Phone already! Allow me to get us started! Moto X2 to feature X88 processor which contains a Sexaginti-Core CPU with a Deca-Core GPU that is capable of rendering real life. Also added in are 9 extra low power contextual computing cores that...

Look at 0:32 Motorola sells transparent cases as an add-on. You can have the best of both worlds.

Are people seriously still using the "People use cases so hardware doesn't matter" excuse? Well maybe that's why Motorola offers transparent cases as an add-on in Moto Maker, so you can protect your phone and still see the customizations. That whole argument is null and void here.

Well how clever of you to ignore the point he was making. The Moto X costs similar money to make as the Samsung Galaxy S 4, the HTC One, and the iPhone 5. THAT'S why it's priced similar. THEY all charge you $350-400 more AS WELL. Ask THEM why they charge you so much for their phone? Maybe...

So the Moto X costs $199 on contract. And now, predictably, tons of people are going whine and scream and b@#!$ that the price they made up isn't real. Some people speculated an unrealistic price point and spread around like wildfire as if it was fact. It should have been obvious when the Droid...

I remember Droid-Life mentioning 3 PM as a good time to be close to their website (I'm assuming Eastern Time Zone, since the event is in NY). The after party is a extremely late. Like, extending-into-the-next-day late. I'm assuming there will be a press release earlier than that, but aside from...

Yeah, I see the MAXX holding the battery life crown for a LONG time, but again, there are still those advantages of the Moto X so far. I'm sure the deal breaker will mostly come down to two things: the price, where I still hold firm in my belief that this phone will be priced similarly to the...

Considering the Droids would have been part of the lineup that Google said was unimpressive, and also considering that the Moto X is the phone Motorola is putting every ounce of effort and faith into (along with 500 million of Google's), I'd gander a guess that the Moto X is going to be the real...

Well, considering we base just about EVERYTHING we "know" on leaks and speculation, I'd say good battery life is a reasonable assumption. The Droid Ultra has a smaller battery to power a larger screen, and Motorola claims 29 hours of battery. That's only 3 hours less than what they touted the...

The RAZR MAXX HD has a 3,300 mAh battery, and yes that is much bigger than this is expected to have, but we have to assume it is going to be FAR more energy efficient than last year's models. The most we can do to appropriately guesstimate (which is an actual word according to Google Chrome's...
