Seriously contemplating a Moto X to replace my LG Optimus G Pro. The LTE antenna connector broke on my OGP and even before that signal quality was weak, and that's a problem in Maine.
I know I'm going to have some serious shell shock going back to a (to me) teeny screen, but I'll learn to adapt (sob!). Signal is important, and so is price, and I have an opportunity to get a Moto X for free.
My real question is - I use my phone in daylight. A lot. I geocache, I play Ingress, I like having a moving map display on my bicycle, and I use it for mapping in the car.
I'd like some honest opinions on how good this screen is in daylight. I'm reasonably happy with my wife's Samsung Galaxy S4, and I can certainly go for one of those, but the Moto X is a *lot* cheaper. I'll rarely be using it in daylight where battery is a consideration, and I have an external battery pack, so I'm OK with "on full-on battery-sucking bright, it's..."
I'm relatively certain that I'm not going to get Optimus G Pro (bright backlit LCD) levels of performance, but if it's at least better than my old HTC Thunderbolt, I'd probably be reasonably happy.
