As far as my phones and tablets go, I always valued real world performance and experience over theoretical performance and horsepower.
That's a reason why I always liked IOS devices because they valued the same thing. However, I'm on android and think I'm going to stick with it for the next few years, so I'm looking for a android phone that gives me that experience. I'm wondering if the moto x might be it.
I own a nexus 4 at the moment, and it's a good phone. I like it's performance and it seems fast enough for what I use my phone for (Internet, email, YouTube, video, music, and things like that. Honestly, while I play some games on the phone, I find I like playing them more on my tablet when I can due to the bigger screen. Like, I'm not going to really play dead trigger on my phone) but I always wanted LTE and a better battery.
Another thing is I need to go the carrier route on AT&T. I can't afford a 600 plus dollar purchase, but I can trade in my nexus 4 to almost pay for a on contract price phone. So there's not much out of pocket cost for me. And I'm on my parents family plan, so I'm cool staying on that for another two years at least.
But I also want something as close to stock android as I can. I don't really care for the way OEMs skin android.
I also don't hack, root, or tinker. I just use the phone as is. It's mainly because I think it would give me anxiety to root and dig into the phones code or whatever. I just don't want to deal with it.
The only thing I'm a bit nervous about with the moto x is if the stuff I use phones for will be effected a year from now due to the device not being quad core.
What do you guys think?
