You must be kidding. Even the Nexus is more well known than the X and the One lol. Not knocking those devices, they're both great (esp the One's speakers and X is as close to stock on VZW), but I'd take even a N4 over both of them any day of the week. The devs will have "always listening" on the Nexus 5 in no time if that's your cup of tea...as the 800 has the proper capabilities...and really the only thing that I like about the X besides the form factor. It crushes it in every other way. Most people know iphone, blackberry, and samsung galaxy...that's it.
Not to bash you or the Nexus Community and I respect your choice in phones... However, I had never heard of the Nexus line before joining the Android Central community, and this is not because I am not into current technology like most people here... I just live a simple life and followed popular brands before joining Android Central. My work and people on the train would have people that use nothing but Samsung and Iphone products. This doesn't mean the Nexus line isn't popular, but that people choose more popular brands. As for the Moto X, Motorola isn't popular either, but don't hold the Nexus line so high and mighty when there are other bigger brands out there.
Also, the 800 chip may have an always listening low-powered processor like the low-powered processor in the X8, but there hasn't been any tests or uses of it working like the proc in the X8 chip. Until there has been notification or development of such feature working, do not give hope in to something that may not happen.
As for the Nexus 5 and getting back on topic, I am curious if the bad viewing angles and washed out look from the Nexus 5 screen that I have seen in several youtube videos is what it is like in real-life. I was disappointed when I saw a few videos on youtube, and I hope this is not the case. However, can someone with a Nexus 5 let me know if the screen is something that may become an eyesore? I am coming from the Moto X and want to see how the Nexus line is like.
