For the past several years, Motorola has been an 'also ran' in the smart phone game, but the Moto X phone puts Motorola back in as a player. I got this phone to replace my Moto Atrix HD because its battery wasn't holding a charge anymore and it was becoming annoyingly erratic. I had been intrigued by the Moto X's myriad customization options and I like that it is assembled here in the USA. Too bad Motorola is closing its Texas assembly plant by the end of the year. I ultimately resisted the temptation to custom order one from AT&T and instead got a gently used one from eBay to avoid another two-year contract. I ended up with an all white model that was like-new in its original box. Of the two off-the-shelf color schemes, I would have preferred black, but beggars can't always be choosers. The first time I ever held a Moto X in my hand, it felt very comfortable, thanks to its convex curved back. I also liked the back's textured feel, but ultimately decided to protect my investment with a black rubberized cover, which also reduces the white to an accent color. Overall, the phone is slightly smaller than my Atrix HD, but its screen is a tiny bit larger. The real attraction of the Moto X, however, is what's on the inside. Running on Android 4.4.2 “Kit-Kat,” it has a sophisticated yet very user friendly interface with numerous features designed to simplify its use. Even more important is what's not on the phone, namely a bunch of AT&T crapware apps. My previous two AT&T smart phones came pre-loaded with at least a dozen proprietary AT&T apps that I never used. The Moto X, on the other hand, has exactly two AT&T apps: 'My AT&T', a portal to the user's account, and AT&T Visual Voicemail, which provides an enhanced voicemail interface. These are apps I'll actually use. Without the carrier's proprietary 'enhancements', the Moto X offers a relatively unadulterated Android experience, something too few Android users have the opportunity to appreciate. With so much functionality crammed into such a small package, I thought battery life would be an issue; in fact, this is mainly what prompted me to replace my Atrix HD. That phone's battery would go flat after a little over half a day. The Moto X, on the other hand, goes all day with power to spare. This is fortunate because the battery is sealed inside. I would much prefer a user replaceable battery that could be swapped out with no down time when depleted. On the plus side, this does make for a greater degree of water resistance. The ironic thing about smart phones is that so few smart phone owners use them to actually make telephone calls. For many, a smart phone is actually a handheld computer that happens to have telephonic capabilities; but nonetheless, it's important to examine a phone's performance in this area. My initial impression of the Moto X is that it performs excellently as a telephone. Sound quality is crystal clear and I have yet to experience a dropped call on it. The only other shortcoming of the Moto X is that it lacks a micro SD card slot for expanded storage. I was able to easily expand my Atrix HD from 8GB to a total of 40GB, thanks to an inexpensive 32GB micro SD card. No such luck with the Moto X. Ironically, the newer and less expensive Moto G does have this feature. Hopefully, Motorola, now part of Lenovo, has seen the error of its ways and will again make this standard. Despite these two shortcomings, the Moto X is an excellent and highly recommended phone.Read full review
So there has been some confusion here. I could swear that the ad for the phone I bought was Motorola Moto X White (AT&T) just like the phone pictured that I am writing a review for. Yet when it came in the mail, it was a white Verizon phone. I was like whoa, and checked out My Ebay that showed what I had bought. And indeed it said I bought a MOTO X White Verizon. I have never been a Verizon customer so I know I did not order a Verizon phone. But upon reviewing the MOTO X, it is said to be a "world" phone that will work on all wireless bands, including GSM. Well I was able to call and send texts through At&T, but no 3G/4G or SMS worked. I have gone ahead and bought a true AT&T MOTO X -black, and am uber happy with it. Will keep the Verizon MOTO X as a back up. I have had many phones over the years, all android, and the MOTO X my favorite one so far.Read full review
works fine, fast, only its was my expectation that it had more space as my present moto x has 26.33 GB and this has only 11.88GB other than that great item
