So beautiful

Btw will the USA phones be compatible with Malaysian telco? My sis stays in Denver and I'm thinking of asking her a favour to order the Moto X and 360.

I have this question too.

Any indication when Brightstar will bring in?

It's live!

What do u mean?

It's for sale now

Wah 2.3k, too #rkoi for me.

I hope brightstar brings it in and the price will be good

wish it came with a 3000 mah battery instead of 2300.

Impressive phone but alas its display size is just too small for me ( for me at least a 5.5 inch 0 and lack of external SD card support is another turn off

Tempting...trying very hard not to buy...cuz my first gen moto x still somewhat unscathed...even after several drops. Been using it naked without any protection...awesome built quality!!!

Moto X Review (2nd Generation)

Somewhere-in-the-Middle

Camera

Is it safe to say that the “camera” section of every single Moto X (2nd gen) review has been the most anticipated of the year? After last year’s disaster of a camera in the original Moto X, Motorola had no choice but to do something completely different this time around. They have done that in some form by at least going with a Sony sensor in favor of the Omnivision sensors they have used for years. They also tossed in a dual-LED ring flash that is supposed to bring in much softer, more natural light when taking photos with the flash on (wait, people use the flash?).

So, what’s the verdict? Well, the camera is capable. It isn’t terrible. That’s an improvement, right? In fact, unlike with last year’s Moto X, I am actually not ashamed to post pictures to Instagram that were taken with the new model, if that means anything to anyone. With great lighting, it can take pretty solid pictures, just like most smartphone cameras. In low light, it’s not the best – again, like most smartphone cameras. With that said, the low light performance on the new Moto X is probably closer to “bad” than “good,” especially when you compare it to the G3 or Galaxy S5. In daylight, though, I would put its photos up against photos taken from most of today’s top tier phones.

While testing, mostly in Chicago, I took a bunch of cityscape and building photos that turned out really well when looked at on a smaller screen (like a phone) or on a social network. Blow up the photos and you will most definitely notice the noise and the less-than-sharp lines, probably due to too much processing. The colors captured seem to be quite accurate to my eye, but every so often come off a little muted. It’s kind of a mixed bag with the camera, which is why we placed it here. Some photos I really like, others I would re-shoot if I had the chance.

Like last year, your photos will look just fine with great lighting or in an outdoor situation (where most of your photos are likely taken). Come inside or find poorly lit areas and you may not love the results. It is definitely a step up, both in speed and picture quality, but I wouldn’t say that it is all that close to the total package you are getting with the Galaxy S5 or LG G3.

As for the camera UI, the experience mimics last year’s model, but adds the option to choose between 4:3 (13MP) and 16:9 (9.7MP) resolutions. Motorola also tossed in 4K video recording. They kept the super minimal UI, though, along with the double-wrist-twist Quick Capture camera gesture. Focusing can be a bit finicky at times, so I would recommend going with the drag-to-focus option.

Overall, the camera on the new Moto X is perfectly fine for most shooting situations, it just isn’t stellar. I would have loved to see stellar, but then again, an improvement over last year’s camera experience is at least that, an improvement.

Battery Life

Earlier in the week, I told you that battery life on the new Moto X wasn’t great. I advised that you buy a Turbo Charger just in case, because there is a good chance you will need some extra juice before you go to bed each night. After factory resetting my phone and testing the device for another three days leading up to this review, I still feel the same way. The Moto X battery clocks in at 2,300mAh, which is by all means pretty small for a 2014 flagship and it shows in my results.

The new Moto X is quite capable of pushing through 14-16 hours of use each day, but maybe not much more than that. I have been through at least a half-dozen other flagship phones this year that all provide much more life out of a single charge than the Moto X. It will get you from the moment you wake up in the morning until you arrive home from work in the evening, but don’t expect it to have much left as you sit back and relax on your couch before heading off to bed or out on the town for a nightcap.

Motorola decided that it would rather make a phone that remained slim and felt great in your hand instead of tossing in an all-day battery. While I love the feel of this device in hand, it really would have been fun to see Motorola construct a great feeling phone that also killed it in the battery department. I guess we’ll have to wait for that kind of battery life in the new DROID that they are making in partnership with Verizon.

Is the US version of Moto X compatible with Malaysian LTE? I was also told if I ask someone to buy from US it is subject to 13% local taxes?

Thumbs up for the unbendable

Not surprised at all. Motorola phones have long been sturdy, and will always be. No matter what I did to my previous or current phones, they won't die. LOL

The unbendable moto X is good for robust user .kudus for Motorola.
