Re: Reconfirmed-Moto X is best phone of the year

Before I purchased my first Blackberry, all of my cell/dumb phones was Motorola brand, thats been over eight (8) years ago. I wish the Motorola brand well, but their not number one in my book.

If it comes from Engadget and Droid Life, their opinions are invalid. Both of those sites are known to be hard-on Moto fan boys.

lol Engadget.

DROID Life I understand though. Besides a few HTCs and a Samsung, all DROIDs are Motorola.

I just ordered a custom Moto X and I'm hoping it will definitely replace my iPhone 5S.

Is Iphone even relevant anymore.???? Clearly the Android rules. At one time the Iphone could had rule the market. But countless spoon feeding people and now with no Jobs. The future is very dimmed.

Hope Lenovo don't screw up the good thing Motorola is doing with the moto x. I can honestly say this phone is what I always wanted. Yes the camera could improved but not important as you will never see camera phones out performs cameras. Just would never happen.. The moto x processing is fast enough for me and with LTE in my area you don't notice a lack of speed what so ever. I got the 32 gig moto x which is good but would be nice for a micro usb slot for additional memory would work. All these are very minor. But to others it's a must. But cell phones today came a long way from the bag phone. So basiclly saying enjoy the technology while it's still around.

I haven't been on Engadget's site for a year or two, but when I did go there, they didn't have the time of day for anything but the iPhone. Apparently that's changed because before there wasn't an iPhone that got below a 9 rating, and there wasn't an Android phone that got a 9 rating (going by their rating scale).

Regardless, all of these sites have their own biases, no matter how impartial they try to be. The reason being is the reporting is done by humans, and we have a tendency to be biased now matter how hard we try. Doesn't matter if the site is OS specific or covers everything, sometimes it's the entire staff, sometimes each writer has their own bias apart from each other. And it isn't limited to the mobile industry, look at Consumer Reports. It's a safe bet that domestic cars will do poorly, and foreign cars will excel.

What I do is find review sites that have rated stuff I already have, and see if they come to the same conclusions as I do. That way I know that I'll probably have the same experience. It's really the only way make accurate use of their reviews, it should be in line with what you want, not what everyone else thinks, because you're going to be the one dealing with it.

And Consumer Reports most definitely loves all things Apple: iPad, iPhone, iWhatever they make - Consumer Reports rates Apple products at the top.

Must be bias because they don't like the phone you have.

I wouldn't say that is a bias. Many of the tech sites rank the iPhone near the top with each new model. I believe it is because for what it does, it does very well. It is still the best smartphone in a lot of areas. I'm not saying that it is definitively the best, but for mainstream things, it has the best performance. When you consider things like raw power, screen sizes and resolution, and customization it falls well short. But app quantity and quality, performance, design, ease of use, ecosystem, accessories, customer support, and compatibility with other devices, the iPhone tops all.

You obviously have no idea what you're talking about regarding CR. The iPhone is the 9th from the top in their most recent list. Granted they listed 3 different versions of the S4 on the top but the iPhone is the 9th one down. So yes, what you said SOUNDED good but it was completely false. And just for the record they even list the Galaxy SII above the iPhone 5s. So please back up your statements with facts.
