Since its customization I guess most people will opt for sharper colors.

You can never win a spec race, the king will be dethroned within months. The only way to win a customer's heart is through user experience, which IMO is where motorola really shines.

New Moto X (2nd Gen) vs. Old Moto X



Owners of the 1st generation Moto X are probably all asking themselves today, “Should I upgrade to the new Moto X?” That’s a great question, one that we hope to have an answer for within the next week or so as we put together a full review. Until then, all we can do to help you get to a solution is continue to fill up your day with new Moto X coverage.

The phone (our unboxing) isn’t launching on US carriers for a few more weeks (closer to the end of September), so thankfully, you have plenty of time to figure this out.

Below, we take you on a quick hardware tour of the outsides of each phone, show how much bigger the new is than the old, and run through differences in specs (full specs) and a bit of software.

My m8 has 2600mAh and it lasts whole day bout like 14 hours wtih average usage

Motorola Touchless Control Rebranded to Moto Voice

Motorola rebranded Touchless Control this week, changing it to Moto Voice. Touchless Control was one of our favorite things on the old Moto X, which allowed users to only use their voice to complete tasks.

For example, a user could say, “Okay Google Now, what’s the weather?” Then, without touching your phone, Google Search would ping back the results. Now, the service is called Moto Voice, and the rebranding will make its way to all devices that are compatible with the service.

As for the changelog posted on Google Play, these changes are currently only for the new Moto X, but Motorola’s Punit Soni claims that these features will soon be made available for last year’s models, too, as long as their hardware supports them.

What’s New

- Customize your own launch phrase to make Moto Voice respond only to you
- Voice command support for YouTube, Facebook and WhatsApp
- Turn on Talk to Me and other Moto modes through voice commands
- Support for Moto Hint and Moto 360
- User experience improvements and bug fixes

I am so tempted now

Is the battery removable?

we should wait for a full review. moto would not be dumb enough to sell a phone that could only last for half a day of use. if they did, then i have nothing to say lah

All the 4 choose moto advertisement is so creative! I like it!

The size is too big for me to use single hand.

The best thing about moto x is the Assist feature where other phone don't have. It is the most awesome feature for smart phone to show it's SMART. Hihi.

Check out what Punit Soni, VP of products said.

'Use it', is it a command or he meant he's 'used' it and he saw no difference? But we gotta expect a better battery life, don't we? Why are we sticking with the same longevity while other things have been bumped up? What do you say?

Yeah, was kinda surprised to see the small battery in the new X, given all the spec bumps and stuffs. Was expecting at least 2.6k mAH tbh

oh yeah, water resistant coating

The control is smooth as silk and it has incomparable voice control,that's what makes it worth the money.
Spec race is dominated by XiaoMi and other Chinese manufacturer but they can't win the big players without new innovations and ideas.

BTW IS ANYONE STARTING A BULK PURCHASE OF MOTO X???

Damn. This is a sexy phone! If i were an android user ill be using this phone. i love the ring flash idea, and i love the sexy big M logo at the back. A lil bit applish, me likey. The only thing that turn me off is theres no sd card slot, thats what android phone suppose to have over an iPhones. But what the hell, might be getting this phone if iPhone 6 dissappoints me. love the black leather back! Hnnhghhhh.

would it be using AMOLED display *didnt watch the video and specs* ? if its not, say byebye to the battery life lol

have you seen the original X ? it looks far much more better imho. not to mention, its almost the same size as i5S yet able to fit a 4.7" on top
