IDK about the force
But you are right, as long there is one part left you can rebuild the phone around it can be counted as a repair

 

[Brad Steele]

Negative. But you have this whole display.

Unless that display can individually light up a selected area in more than just the standard RGB, I'm unimpressed with the noti (just like the last model, except heartbeat noti I liked). Is their any hope that this newer version of the old X has any type of extra settings for active noti? Diff pattern or something like that? Diff colors would be wicked. Furthermore, Diff colors for Diff noti would be even better.

Another question does it have touch screen?

And is it running android?

 

[RavenNull]

Is there a yellowish color when the screen displays whites like there was on the original Moto X or is it more of a true white color?

Much better than I get with my GS5

I've seen one question about the camera. IMO, last year's Moto X took fantastic pictures during the day, the problem was w/ the night/low light pictures. Could you give us your opinion on those? Are the pictures still as noisy w/ the awful tint as last year's model? I scrolled through all your replies in this thread don't believe I saw this asked. I thought everyone's biggest concern w/ last year's model was the awful camera so I didn't want to duplicate anyone's question.

Thanks, sir!

Can you use Moto Voice (always listening voice commands) with a locked phone?

This is one thing that killed the Moto X for me. The inability to use always listening when the phone is locked defeats the feature and I really hope they fixed it this time around.

I assume this will be fixed in Android L with the trusted environment. As soon as the phone will recognize its safe it will be unlocked.

what does it taste like?

I hope Anandtech confirms F2FS for the filesystem. It helps makes the first generation Moto X and Moto G just fly.

Ars says no F2FS, but it outperforms Moto X 2013 anyway

Any word on it coming to Sprint?

No announcement yet, but model XT1092 has support not only for all current Sprint CDMA and LTE bands, but also the roaming LTE bands for the CCA rural partnerships. Based on the LTE bands, it would theoretically support LTE roaming on US Cellular as well, again there is no official word of any such agreement though.

AMOLED screens have the ability to light up individual pixels. The active display is using ONLY the pixels that appear in white. The display has no backlight either because each pixel lights itself up. Under a microscope the pixel is a red, green, and blue microscopic LED.

If it can light up individual pixels than it should be able to do it in the same range of colors that are displayed on the screen under any other situation (if you want to discuss this further PM me to keep the thread clean). Any new options for "active noti" display?

Did they mention VoLTE and Wifi calling support at the press event? Any evidence of it in the settings?

Those are swallows, not salmon.

I typically use cases for my phones and one of the main reasons is to protect the camera lens. With the Moto X and its available custom backs, I wouldn't want to use a case.

How exposed is the camera lens when placing the phone down?

There will be a bumper available that may interest you.

I'm not crazy about this new crater — way more than a dimple — at all. Last year's was subtle. Part of the design. This year's seems off — as if they planned on actually doing something else with that space.

Well, there were plans...
