I've got the new Moto X, you've got questions. Fire away!!!

[happasaiyan]

Yes. But the bottom one is only a mic, not a speaker.

The bottom contains one of the mics and the speaker.

Unless they used voice print, which they should anyway to lock the phone to respond to you and listen for you in a noisy environment...

Not much point in the feature if you can't use it with a locked phone.

The BT in my car is a trusted device. When I am in the car, I can just say "navigate to [restaurant name] in [city]" and it pulls it all up. I don't know why you would trust voice security to properly secure your phone.

How about a gosh darn release date. Take mah moneyyy

My biggest problem with the S5 and G3 is that Samsung and LG cannot leave Android alone. Is the new Moto X just like the old Moto X where it is pretty much pure Android ?

Yes.

 

[happasaiyan]

Also feel. How does it feel compared to the last year's model in hand.

Not as good. Higher quality, but not as good.

Specifically, does the new curvature and width actually feel better?

No.

How does the new dimple feel compared to last one - which I really like.

I actually like the dimple on the new one better. Because of the increased size, the larger dimple gives you a little more to "hold."

Not a fan of the size increase, but does feel better in the hand than the S5. The metal edges help significantly with grip.

I assume Carrier Bloatware is present, so is any of it able to be un-installed?

You can always disable the bloat.

does the new Moto X feel like it is made from A LOT nicer material? My biggest problem with my white/teak moto x is that it feels like a plastic samsung in hand.

MUCH nicer.

Not sure how to word this, but does the leather feel loose at all or is it glued down the whole length of the back? Like if you pushed your finger into it and wiggled, does the leather slide around?
Also,does the leather make it hard to pull out of your jeans pocket?

Not loose at all, but yet, still soft. Might be harder to pull out of your pocket if you ran around and were a little sweaty. Otherwise, no.

 

[happasaiyan]

How does the leather feel? Do you think it's going to be absorbing lots of oil/dirt, or does it feel more resilient?

Like a broken-in baseball glove. I think it would absorb oil/dirt, but that can be an attractive quality, depending on how you look at it. It's not for me, but I think it's still pretty cool.

How has the leather been wearing for you? Does it scratch very easily? Do you think it'll hold up to long time use?

 

[arun ammineni]

The logo of Motorola in new moto Z is looking bigger then the old moto X so is that making uncomfortable to the hands.........

I have some leather cream that came with my black leather Coach handbag. I dip a flannel cloth in the cream (sparingly) and rub it around on the leather surface in a circular motion. It perfectly conditions the black leather, without streaks or darkening the black color. Worth trying on the Moto X leather backs, especially black or navy. ??? The natural and cognac... I'm not so sure it wouldn't darken the color.

Which backplates are soft touch and which are hard and slippery? Were you able to see them all at the event? I was bummed when I ended up ordering one that wasn't soft touch back when I got my OG Moto X. Thanks!

 

[jschu22]

Are there any gaps or edges that aren't flush with adjacent ones? I'm especially interested in this where the leather ends and the metal begins.

Thanks in advance!

There is a description on the motomaker site when you choose a back. It will tell you.

I don't have one.

But when I did have hands-on, it was very new, so no wear yet. I don't see why it wouldn't hold up just as well as a wallet or purse.

When will the new moto X be in the eurozone market,

There will be a bumper available that may interest you.

Ah, it's on the site already.
