Please actually use the Moto X as a daily driver and then come talk to us about what "low end" means. It has the S4 Pro chipset architecture in dual core form with a high end GPU only pushing a 720p display. Also that low end 720p has more real subpixels than the S4's "amazing" 1080p display...

Re: The camera on this phone is an absolute joke Snapseed can rectify all issues with this phone's photo taking ability.

Here's my answer to the ART question. It makes apps open instantaneously and the phone is so fluid...I never see framerate drops with ART enabled. It alone has coaxed me away from Xposed with mods because of how smooth it is.

It works with any apps that give notifications, so yes. You can even pick which apps it shows notifications for and those it doesn't. I use EvolveSMS on my MotoX and it works flawlessly.

Re: Is it the lower specs.. I don't know what they did to optimize this thing but on ART, the Moto X is equal to the iPhone 5s in fluidity.

Re: Can't decide. If you really need convincing, go look at both interfaces screenshot for screenshot. It makes me sad I ever owned a Samsung devices and also reinforces why I put an AOSP rom on them within days.

Messaging - Between the stock messaging app and Moto Connect (let's you text from Chrome browser window), I think you'll be in love. Calls - Motorola's radios are highly touted and the Moto X has ranked highest in LTE connectivty. Battery Life- Expect a minimum of 12-14 hours with atleast 3...

Moto X version 2 /thread

I highly doubt one of the most reputable kernel developers in the Android community bundled his app with a virus. On top of that, it would have to make it past Google's scans of the app for malicious content. This is very strange though...have you tried booting into fastboot and pushing the...

You're welcome. Praise Duarte.

Good one. I like that as I am a recovering pixel junkie. I own an S4 and a Moto X....the Moto X wins in every other department than the display quality. Moto X's display not being pentile definitely helps its case. edit: oh and the purple banding on the S4 is terrible on low brightness.

People are missing the point about CM or anything like that. This phone's software is optimized heavily for the hardware, it will be fine in two years. I too have worried about the battery though... With Xposed framework and GravityBox, you can retain all the features that make the X great...

Hah Samsung's keyboard is a joke, even if is claimed to be powered by SwiftKey. That thing is atrocious.

Having experienced Diztronic TPU cases on previous phones, I can attest to supreme quality and they are pretty reasonably priced.
