I was looking between Moto G and Moto X for a new phone (still deciding). Should I get the current one in the market or should I wait for this new one?

Budget wise, I'm leaning towards Moto G, but aside from that I really like those Moto X.

given the way moto handles it's previous phones in which they are doing a terrific job with the battery life i don't see this as much of a problem. and besides don't forget the new moto x supports Snapdragon Quick Charge 2.0 and moto claims you only need to charge for the first 15 mins to get 8 hours of battery life, but don't get too excited though...

btw am i the only here who aren't satisfied with moto decision to bump up the screen size to 5.2"? seems like moto forgets what makes the precursor model so special and instead decides to appeal the hardcore specs geeks demograph instead with the "bigger is better philosophy" 

Yes, Motorola confirmed it.

any phone will have its sound muffled if it is under your pillow.

one problem with the old moto x is that the always listening goes off at very embarassing times. when i do a presentation, it goes off. then of course i ignore, but it persist to say "sorry, i didn't get you, please say that again", to the surprise of my audience. so far that happened twice. I hope with the new moto x, with extra 1 mic (total=4 mics), moto don't make that mistake anymore. i understand if it is not perfect the first time, but perfect it you must! no excuses this time moto!

I am very critical, coz i love my moto for what it visions to be.

did you say 'ok google now' during presentation?

Of course not. I even retrain it thinking that retraining will solve it. But it's not that bad. Only happens when I'm doing presentations.

Isn't it have a function that will know when you on meeting so it will silence itself? IINM need to set meeting schedule on calendar.

the 2013 moto x is the perfect daily driver phone for me in terms of body size and design. currently im using htc one m7, a tad longer than what i would call comfortable but there's a good reason behind it which is the speaker and it totally make up for the phone height. but i wont consider metal phones anymore cos those are too slippery, cant believe i still havent break my unit after a year lol

so basically what im looking for is something not too enormous, svelte but with enough grip so i wont need cases which is what i consider the moto x 2013 scores perfectly.

one problem with the old moto x is that the always listening goes off at very embarassing times. when i do a presentation, it goes off. then of course i ignore, but it persist to say "sorry, i didn't get you, please say that again", to the surprise of my audience. so far that happened twice.

The Moto assist silence phone during meetings. But always listening still active unless u disable touchless control. And when it hears the cue it talks to u. Anyway in case I hurt any Moto fans here,  to qualify it happened not too frequently to make it a big issue but still it's embarrassing.

I am pretty sure moto has improved the voice recognition this time round. What other reason they increased the microphone count from 3 to 4? surely is to allow zooming into your voice so that it is clearly received . 4 mics is lots of input. individual voice recognition is not easy, that is why other phones don't like to go that path.

the thing i really love about the moto x line is the active notification (moto display). really a time saver time and time again. imagine my phone before, which is an s3.

when i look at my s3, i see there is a message from the led light, but i don't know the message. so i must press the power button. then slide to unlock to go to the home page, then swipe down the notification bar to see my message. then maybe double finger the message to see more of the message. so many steps.

with moto x, i see the message icon, i press it, then read the message. done.

agreed on that, extend physical button life, but for phone without touchless control, you can always try install gravity screen
