After months of anticipation, Google has launched Moto X, one of the most awaited Smartphone from Google Inc. As you might know, Google had, almost one year before, acquired Motorola, one of the pioneer Mobile Phone manufacturers, who failed to step with its rivals. Google bought the company by paying 12.5 Billion USD and now, we have the first Android-running Smartphone from Google-owned Smartphone. At the first look, we have to say that the combined effort showed its worthiness in building a superb Android Smartphone from the so-called Technology giant. Indeed, it is a revolutionizing Android-running device from Google-Motorola companionship and can become a quite strong rival to the existing Smartphone manufacturers and we hope that the device can save Motorola from the current pathetic situation.
The prominent revolutionizing factor in Moto X is the extended ability of customization, lacked by existing devices, and of course, the major support of Google, internet titan, ruling tech world. Hence, in this device, you are going to get your own Smartphone, with appropriate features and specifications. We will talk about this later but now, we will have an extended look to features and specifications of Moto X. We will also include every detail, you should know about the mentioned android device. As the company website says, Moto X is your phone, yours only!
Motorola X Matters Customization
Can you stop your mind from amazing when we say that there are 508 versions of Moto X? We guess the above statement is enough for the confirmation of ‘ability to customize’, as said before. Level of customization includes not only accessories but also the in-built hardware as well. Recalling what we said, Moto X is the highly customizable android phone you can get from the market, which can make the colourful-Smartphone lover too. There are several parts in Moto X Smartphone, which you can alter according to your requirement and desire. Main sections are as follows.
Backplate: According to various reports from New York, 18 Backplate covers are available for Moto X. Colours are concrete gray, hot pink and the list goes on.
Selection of Black or White front panel
Side-mounted buttons and ring around camera come with seven different colours.
As you can guess, internal storage has a choice of either 16GB or 32GB.
There is also a feature called Moto Maker, available online, using which you can build your own Motorola X device. You can make your own Smartphone by means of this tool and get the phone shipped to your doorstep. Doesn’t it sound awesome? For us, it sounds astonishingly awesome. In addition, you could get additional customization features, if your career is AT&T. However, major components of the device, from 16 states, unite at Texas for the assembling process. It will take 4 days for Motorola’s human customizers to bring your desired Smartphone, with given features. To see all what we said above, we should say that Moto X is something near to fashionable Smartphone for the Android-lover in you.
User Interface
Another component in Moto X, revolutionizing the Smartphone market is its accentuating UI, which deemphasizes the usual touch-based interface. Rather, we can call the current one as ‘Touchless UI’ that gives least importance to your buttons or swipes. We can call it an innovative UI either. Simply, if you want to switch on and make a call from your device, you have to say just ‘Okay Google Now’ accompanied by the corresponding command to create telephonic call, no matter the screen of your device is switched off.
There are hundreds of commands available for the device for doing activities such as Google Search, get directions to place along with customized notifications and commands according to your location. Thus, by means of the Touchless UI, you can force your Smartphone to do awesome things without even touching it. Though it may make a contradiction, who are familiar with the conventional user interfaces, the UI is something quite innovative and useful. However, first looks report that Google has not stuffed some superfluous features in the UI!
Moto X Specifications & Build
When we have a look to the features of Moto X, it clearly endorses its ability to satisfy those, who do prefer high-end Smartphone to perform effortful tasks such as office management. Moto X comes with an impressive set of specifications ranging from the processor. Now, we will have a look on to its major technical specifications.
Moto X has a 4.7-inch screen with resolution of 1280*780 pixels. Gorilla glass technology makes the device much stronger along with AMOLED Display with 316 ppi.
The device comes with various GSM connectivity features such as GPRS, EDGE, HSPA and LTE (when another LTE antenna is with the device). Standard connectivity features such as Wi-Fi, GPS, GLONASS, NFC, Bluetooth 4.0, Wireless screen cast etc. also come with Moto X.
Motorola uses a completely customized Motorola X8 System. The SoC include a Qualcomm based Snapdragon S4 Pro chipset. However, the device uses a Dual-Core processor with power of 1.7 GHz. Accompanied by 2GB of RAM; the device can perform very well, just as other Google-powered Smartphones. The device also uses a Adreno 320 GPU. These processors seem to be assuring 24 hours of mixed Smartphone activities as well as 13 hours of seamless talk time, which are quite attractive.
Rear camera of 10MP comes with Moto X along with a 2MP front camera, designed for enabling video calling. When we gaze at the rear camera, it has superb features such as HDR mode, Panorama, geo-tagging, Full-HD 1080p Video recording etc.
One 2200 mAh battery works as the powerhouse of Motorola X, which seems enough for supporting all specifications, mentioned earlier.
The specification list is pretty impressive and effective as well. The company says that the choice of 720p screen is aiming less battery-consumption. When excluding such small issues, Motorola X is a device, ready to beat with current rivals including Samsung Galaxy S4 or HTC One, which posses a bit improved specification, at least in some section. Recalling what we mentioned earlier, Moto X could simply satisfy those who want a high-end and seamlessly functioning Android-Smartphone. Altogether, Moto X specifications and build can impress ‘any geek’, just as Nexus devices do.
Power Of Stock Android
Very first thing, that comes to our mind when Google announces a device, collaborated with any manufacturer, is the power of Stock Android. Rather than the usual stock Android, the version in Moto X is quite special! Following features quite effective when combined with features of stock Android & integration with the so-called tech giant. Even though four major telephone carriers in US has agreed to sell Moto X, a purely unlocked version of Google Moto X will be available soon just as the Galaxy S4 Stock version. Just as Nexus devices, this Google Play version of Moto X will get instant updates from Google, which is awesome for Android-lovers.
The device comprises many sensors with the hardware, which can keep record of all your activities. For example, if you are driving and have kept the device in your car, the device itself will understand the situation and shift to driving mode. Even though you have to disable the feature after stopping your vehicle, these kinds of features are, at least partially, useful for ‘busy’ people. However, the device, currently, runs on Android v4.2.2 Jelly Bean, even though they can offer you an update quite soon as possible. According to the words from Motorola’s authorities, the company has removed superfluous content from the device in order to provide a user-centric Android Smartphone experience.
Final Word
Finally, we have analyzed most of Moto X, powered by the combined effort of Motorola and Google Inc. Recalling what we said altogether, we can simply point out that Google Moto X is something a nightmare for rivals in the same category. As you might know, Motorola had released several devices, under different series, followed by Google’s acquisition. However, being the first device, guided and powered by Google Inc, both markets, users are expecting a lot from Moto X, and it seems like the device is capable of getting a lasting popularity. Nevertheless, we expect that Moto X can save Motorola from the current situation, at least once.
