Video review by Marques Brownlee after 1 week with the X (if you've never seen his videos, he does great videos, comprehensive).
Shortcut:
-Even as a geek i'm impressed
-Really likes the way it feels. From the form to the grippy back. Prefers that to both the s4 and htc1
-Performance: "Scary good"
-"
Might not benchmark like the [quad core phones] but i guarantee you it feels and performs like one every day of the week".
handles multitasking, opening closing apps,
handles web browsing exceptionally well, this and the new nexus 7 are the only 2 that glides through google chrome whatever site i throw at it.
-"Never any stuttering or lagging like in touch wiz, or htc sense, overall the phone has been buttery smooth every second since i first got it which is more than i can say for the GS4.'
-Says take it from him "someone who absolutely loves resolution and pixel density, the *only* time i can see a difference is when you put it side by side" (with a 1080P)
-"Frame rates are through the roof compared to other 1080P screens"
His favorite feature:
Voice activation. (and exactly what i said as well, believes as soon as someone gets to know it they're really going to want it)
Does a great job of recognition.
Battery life: "Battery life is REALLY good. I got an absurd number like 14-16 hours a day with heavy heavy use, certainly better battery life than S4 and htc1. I am very very pleased with the battery life."
The bad:
-Not a good camera, the biggest problem on the phone. Extremely extremely disappointing. I checked to see if there was plastic over the lens". lol.
. Says in theory in can be fixed with software.
-Software feels a little unfinished, they can be fixed, but that is my biggest complaint.
-Speaker is loud but a poorly misplaced finger can mute it.
"I *really* love the moto X, one of my favorite phones to mess around with in a long time. It delivers way beyond what we expected to when looking at the specs."
A really nice phone to use and to hold. I recommend if you are a switcher, android user, incredibly easy. Even if it's not appealing to us geeks, resolution lovers, i think it's a pretty awesome first step btwn google and motorola.
