Does every phone now feel unsubstantial?
Took the family to the mall and as usual couldn't help but go look at the latest and greatest.
The Moto X simply felt "low end". I know, it performs well, etc. but it just felt cheap in the hands.
Looked at several phones with shiny plastic backs and the resulting fingerprint maze from everybody else that had touched it....yuck.
The only "new" phone (other than the One) that felt substantial was the Droid Maxx with it's Kevlar back. The DNA also felt pretty solid.
The only phone that seems to come close in build quality is my wife's iPhone 5 (yes, I threw up in my mouth when I typed that).
I'm definitely in trouble if HTC does not continue with the aluminum uni-body construction and front facing speakers for the future.....
For the record, did not see a LG2.
