I just came from a Nexus 5 and got my Moto X today so can give my opinion on the things I like.
I've moved from a 1080p to 720p screen and I 100% cannot tell the difference, I've held them up next to each other and I literally cannot see any change so I was pleased about that.
Camera wise, the X is pretty decent (It's no DSLR but what camera is!?) In low light shots it seems better than my N5, haven't really taken many in the day but they seem pretty decent!
Active Display is just.... awesome, very very handy feature! Touchless control I used for the first time earlier as my mum said 'I wonder what the weather will be tomorrow'. My phone was on the arm of the sofa just out of arms reach.... no bother, just said 'Ok google now, whats the weather for tomorrow' and about 1-2 seconds later she told me... extremely cool! Also tried a few other commands like... 'Ok google now, play <Say artist>' or even 'Ok google now, play <say artist> <say song or album name>'. It's also really cool for 'Ok google now, navigate to <my nearest o2 store>' etc Very useful feature, it even picked up my voice on the other side of the room!
The phone fits nicely in my hand, apparently it's only a whisker bigger than a iPhone 5/5s despite having a bigger screen, build quality seems rock solid from what I can tell and it's just the right weight without being heavy!
I moved from a snapdragon 800 to this X8 Dual Core and most apps open just as quickly if not quicker... web browsing seems about the same speed as my N5, i'm really surprised that the extra grunt the N5 has doesn't really make any difference (Proof that optimization really is king!)
You get 50GB of free google drive storage when you purchase the phone and google give you 15gb anyway so 65gb in total (To redeem the offer open the google drive app and sign in). I store a lot of documents on there, I back up all my pictures to Google+ Photos and my music is on Google Play Music (Although have downloaded my most commonly listened to albums to save on data costs in the car etc). I don't store much on my device for that reason!
Hopefully my ltitle 'review' helped! I'm in the UK too
