I've owned nearly all of the high-end smartphones, here are my thoughts. (Hint: Moto X is best)

[androidatic]

Just like the Moto X hits the spot for the OP, the Note 3 hits the spot for me. As far as carrying it around, I carry it double cased, and in my backpack when I am on my bicycle, and in the small trunk when I am on my motorcycle. I am not going to say "I don't see how somebody can carry around the Moto X", because I have sense enough, and so does the OP, that different people have different needs. Just be you can't see it why somebody does something doesn't hold water. You looking with tunnel vision, or shall I say, your own vision.. We are all different..

You happen to gloss over the parts where I said that it's all up to personal preference and that this was MY opinion. I also said that the Note is a good seller so there are obviously a lot of people that seem to like the size.

So basically you took a part of my post that you didn't like and attempted to twist the meaning of the entire post. Why, I don't know.

So, a 4.7 inch 720p screen, 2200mAh battery and 1.7GHz DUAL core processor is your idea of the perfect smartphone in late 2013, almost 2014. Who can argue with logic like that. Thanks for your assessment but I think I'll stay with my 2013 hardware. (G2 and 1520)

Again, it's personal preference. But FYI, both Ars Technica and Android Central are calling the Moto X the best overall Android phone you can buy right now.

Some people will never be able to see past a spec sheet. That's ok. It's their preference. I have owned all these high spec phones and I can confirm that the Moto X runs as good and in some cases better. Nothing against those phones though. There are some awesome choices out right now. That is the benefit of Android. Lots of choices and right now they are pretty good.

I got lost with your interpretation and your explanation!

The reason I got lost, was because it seemed like you said a lot to say nothing..

Why, I don't know???

Let's leave it at that, and go our separate ways, and allow the OP to have a nice thread full of informative info..

You have the distinction of being the first I put on ignore..

Bye!!!

End of story.

There are several people in this thread who have the opinion that it's all about specs.

Generally, I like Motorola products but something about the front of the X turns me off. I can?t quite pin it down. I may be misinterpreting what I thought I saw but it was like there was a ring of shiny plastic that framed the display.

Optimus G Pro

It's more noticeable on the white one

I agree with you, however, to the OP, these specs are right down their ally..Just the point that OP said that the Moto X is better than this, that and so so, is very, very subjective. It is better to the OP and others that those specs and features are right for them..The choices are getting better. The competition is hot, makes it better for users big time..

I think you're missing the point a lot of people here are trying to make. We don't care about the specs. The phone performs just as well, if not better than all of the other phones mentioned by the OP.
The only thing the X is lacking, is the camera. Everything else in this phone is just as good as it is on the other flagships with top of the line specs.

Well, suppose I don't use the term "spec" and say what this phone does, the people here like, is that okay? Also, what it does doesn't necessary have to be top notch! Is that okay too?

What is it, a person has a contrary view and they have to be "missing the point"???

This year I have owned the HTC One, LG Optimus G Pro, Galaxy Note 3, and the Moto X along side my iPhone 5/5S. And I must say the Moto X is the best performing android phone I have ever owned, almost on par with my iPhone.

The software runs just so smooth and polished. Even apps work perfectly. It just works. I also really love the added features Moto put, active display is probably my favorite along with assist. And touch less controls controls have been far more useful than I thought they would be, especially when driving.

After using all those heavily skinned and larger phones, using the Moto X has been a breath of fresh air, and its amazing that it has the same screen size of my old HTC One in a frame just slightly larger than my iPhone.

While I do wish this had the specs of my Note 3, the fact that this runs smoother and without any hiccups makes up for it. The big question now is if I keep my Moto X or go back to my Note 3, there are definite times I miss the larger screen, but I love the software on the X.

Its because there is. Its barely noticeable on the black, but on the white it really stands out.

Okay, but then you would seem to be missing the fact that the Moto X does everything excellently--and better than many higher specced phones.

I know that many of you refuse to believe that, but it's true.

Be patient.

For what seems like a millennium we were taught by oems and the press that specs is what counted when assessing an android device. Now Moto comes, poops the X, and everyone's supposed to forget the importance of specs and focus on the "experience", kinda like what Apple has been preaching since the beginning. It may take a little while for that to catch on.

Hey spec heads,

This "mid-range" smartphone with "last year's specs" is making your powerhouse phablets look silly. Best to close your eyes, cover your ears, and pretend it's all a bad dream.

I know I don't go to note3 or galaxy s forums and whine and troll that the Moto x is better then their phone. Why the he'll do they come here and do it? Pfft.

See my post above.

...and a lot of Note 3 owners may have a superiority complex issue thinggy going on. [RHETORICAL]I mean, the Note 3 has (very high-end if not) the best specs so how could it not be the best phone? [/RHETORICAL] Again, see my post above.
