What features does the Moto X have that the Droid Maxx doesn't?

[sigmasirrus]

The Moto X advertises some cool features like touchless controls, detecting when you're driving, etc. But the battery and camera suck. These two seem to be better on the Droid Maxx. I'm wondering which features the Moto X has that the Droid Maxx doesn't? Or did Motorola include all of those cool features in the Droid Maxx?

Thanks. It doesn't say much about the software, though, which was my main question.

Oh. I will take a look around the interweb to see if I can find anything.

Cool, thank you. I might add that the Droid Turbo also seems to be doing the one-up on the Moto X... It's confusing since there's a lot of overlap and Motorola's website is sparse on details...

 

[sigmasirrus]

Great! Thanks that's what I was looking for. So it looks like Motorola is competing with itself... lol As far as I can see, the only advantages of the Moto X are the hardware customization options (Wood + Leather) and more timely software updates / less bloatware. It seems that the Droid Turbo is the direct successor to the Droid Maxx. So Droid Turbo > Droid Maxx > Moto X. Thanks!

Lollipop.

So true. If I were on Verizon and had a choice between the 2, Lollipop would be a huge deciding factor for me.

Lollipop.

Another feature would be lack of Verizon bloatware - if you get the Pure Edition.

droid turbo gets that cool clock widget that regular moto does not get. Droid turbo is a really good choice on verizon. However idk if it is eligible for moto promo going on right now

Really lollipop is all it has. Sorry but for better specs and a better phone it is not a deal breaker as there has been a lot of quirks with lollipop.

...which doesn't work on Verizon.

If you are on Verizon, don't mind the size/weight, don't mind the delayed OS updates, and don't mind the extra Verizon bloat, then get the turbo.

If any of this bothers you, the X is a great option as well.

Has to be bought through Motorola's site. The turbo redirects you to vzw. So no go on that.

You're quite right. I'm on AT&T and forget sometimes the PE isn't compatible with Verizon.

Droid Maxx has less resolution than the 2014
