Forgetting whether or not it will actually happen, what would you change if you could? This is my first smartphone and I've had it a few days now and have gotten pretty familiar with it.
Some things I knew I wanted before I bought it:
- Removable Battery: Should be required on all phones, kudos to Samsung for keeping this feature. I probably would have gotten an S4 Mini (or Xperia Z Compact for the SD) if it was available on AT&T and not even discovered the Moto X.
- SD Card: Again, good on Samsung
Discovered since purchase:
- Headphone Jack on Bottom, Not on Top: Downloaded a music player and then discovered this. Who puts their phone in their pocket with the top up?? This makes you have to turn the phone around when putting in and taking out of your pocket when using headphones, which also makes it more likely to drop. I guess maybe they chose to have the charging port on the bottom to make it a little easier to use when charging, but I would rather have the headphone jack down there and deal with having the charging port on top.
- Better Call Quality: - As noted in reviews, the phone ear speaker has kind of an unnatural robotic quality. I know a lot of smartphones "suck as phones" but I was expecting better considering Moto's reputation. My old Sanyo Katana DLX flip phone blows the call quality on this phone away. I can live with it though.
- Better Camera: I'll throw this in here since so many people have mentioned it, but I haven't confirmed whether it's good enough for me yet, especially after 4.4.2 and using touch focus.
That's about it so far. Overall it seems like a great phone. One thing I would NOT change is to make it bigger. The size is what first led me to discover it.
