Introduction

In August 2011, a deal was announced between two powerful companies: Google and Motorola. The first bought the mobile division of Motorola - Mobile Devices, which in the future was called Motorola Mobility LCC. The acquisition was completed in May of the following year, and already in 2013, Google officially introduced a new logo and assigned a new name to MM. Now Motorola Mobility is called simply: "Motorola - a Google Company."

The Moto X is the first smartphone entirely assembled and built in the USA. It is also the first device developed since Google's acquisition of Motorola's mobile division. The main feature of this gadget is that even before the purchase, the design of Moto X can be changed a little: the official website presents “MotoMaker”, with which you can customize the colors of the back panel, buttons and camera frames, and also select materials. For example, there are only 18 versions of the back covers, there are even wooden ones, but so far they are not available on the site. Unfortunately, the smartphone itself is sold only in the US, ie. in Russia, it is really possible to buy it only from dealers in “gray” devices, and even then in a limited color variety. You can read a little more in our separate material on Moto X.

Design, dimensions, controls

I think that you read about the appearance, body color options, materials and other things by clicking on the link above. On our test, it turned out to be the simplest version, it seems to me: a white rear plastic side, a black front, buttons and a camera frame are silver. The edging is made of glossy black plastic, protrudes slightly above the screen, probably - additional protection from external influences. The back cover is made of porous material, pleasant to the touch, does not slip in the hands at all. Despite the fact that the surface is flat, visually it seems that the panel has a relief in the form of a three-dimensional wicker structure. Looks great and plays beautifully in the light.

The upper part of the back side is slightly beveled, there is no "braid" on it, and it is also absent on the edges of the case.

The shape of the body is rectangular with beveled corners. From the edges to the center of the rear side there is a thickening (from 5.7 mm to 10.4 mm), creating the effect of a curved phone. Therefore, the smartphone lies perfectly in the hands, especially if these hands are not “shovels”.

The dimensions are as compact as possible for a device whose diagonal is 4.7 inches - 129x65x10.4 mm, the weight is also within reasonable limits - 130 grams. Frame top - 14 mm, bottom - 10, left and right - 3.5 mm each.

Another small but nice feature is a round recess below the camera, which is engraved with the letter "M". The fact is that while using the phone, the index finger involuntarily lies precisely in this hollow.

The gadget is non-separable, but no problems were noticed during the operation: the rear panel does not play, does not creak, does not crunch when squeezed in the hand and does not bend to the battery. The quality of the materials is also high: not a single scratch appeared on the screen (by the way, it is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass), and the body, according to some reports, has a water-repellent coating (unfortunately, it does not provide the IP67 standard).

Overall, the design ergonomics of the Moto X is, in my opinion, perfect!

On the top of the front panel is a speaker. It is framed with a metal edging. The volume of the speaker is high, the interlocutor is heard very well and legibly, mostly low and medium frequencies are heard, which cannot but rejoice. No interference and extraneous noise or overload. The sound is pleasant, velvety and does not hit the ears at high volume. I can say for sure that the Moto X uses one of the best speech speakers comparable to the Samsung Note 2, Note 3 and partly the Galaxy S4.

To the left of the speaker are a light sensor and a proximity sensor. Both work correctly. On the right is the front camera. The buttons are on-screen, so the manufacturer was able to minimize the distance from the bottom end to the screen, i.e. shrink the frame. Thus, the device has become more compact. The microphone is located under the display to the left.

On the bottom end - microUSB, on the top - 3.5 mm and a second microphone for recording sound in stereo. On the left is a “sim card” for nanoSIM. Yes, it's nano, not micro. Strange decision. Most likely, again, the calculation is that lovers of "apples" migrate to "andryukha". On the right is the power button (it protrudes slightly above the body, it is well groped with fingers, the stroke is minimal, a quiet click is heard) and the volume rocker. It is thin and short, and the tactile sensation is the same as that of the lock/unlock button.

Camera eye recessed into the body, single-section flash, speakerphone are located on the back of the device. There is another small hole, but nothing is said about it anywhere. Perhaps this is another microphone for noise reduction. I do not rule out the reset button.

Display

In this case, the manufacturer did not pursue the size of screen diagonals, so the Moto X uses a 4.7-inch display with HD resolution. The physical size of the matrix is ​​56.5x102.5 mm, the density is 312 dpi. Naturally, at such a density, pixelation is invisible. The matrix is ​​made using SuperAMOLED technology and has a special structure without the notorious PenTile (AMOLED RGB screen). The picture quality is above all praise: the brightness and contrast are high, the colors are saturated (but not oversaturated, not "vigorous"), the viewing angles are maximum, and the bluish tint when tilted (a common occurrence in SuperAMOLED matrices) is almost imperceptible.

Moto X screen matrix

Below is a comparison of the displays of Nokia Lumia 1020, Motorola Moto X, Meizu MX3 and LG G2.

The best result at a right angle, according to my feelings, came from the Nokia Lumia 1020, followed by the Meizu MX3 and LG G2. But Moto X has a lot of red colors. When tilting the displays away from you, Nokia is again better, then Moto X, LG G2 and lastly - Meizu. At other viewing angles, the screens behave approximately the same, except for the LG G2, in this model the matrix either turns yellow or violet. This suggests that LG has not installed the highest quality matrix in its flagship device.

Battery

This model has a non-removable battery. Its capacity is 2200 mAh (Li-Ion). Typical for most devices with small screen sizes. Therefore, the operating time is also standard: about 10 hours, provided that the data transfer was turned on, the brightness was “Auto”, about 10-15 minutes of talks, an hour of shooting photos and videos. If you watch a movie in 1080p resolution at maximum brightness and sound volume in headphones, then the battery will run out after 4-4.5 hours. The Antut Tester battery test program gives out 525 points, which once again proves the average “survivability” of the Moto X battery.

Communication options

The device works in GSM / GPRS / EDGE / UMTS / HSPA and even 4G LTE networks, and in Russia too (non-fast versions of the devices). There is Bluetooth 4.0 (LE + EDR), Wi-Fi has a standard not only b / g / n, but also AC. There is an NFC chip.

Memory and memory card

Traditionally, not the most top-end smartphones are still installed with 2 GB of RAM. Of this volume, about 1.2 GB is free. In fact, not very much, given that it uses bare Android, and the resolution is not FullHD.

Built-in memory is 16 GB or 32 GB. It all depends on the version you will purchase. In the US, the difference is minimal - only $ 50, with us it can be from 5 to 15 thousand rubles. The review was a version with 32 GB of Flash, just over 26 GB free. There is no slot for a memory card in this gadget.

Camera

Recently, almost all manufacturers have decided to hit the marketing designations of cameras that use supposedly special image processing technologies, huge matrices, superpixels, and so on. In general, Moto X also decided to get confused and call the 10 MP camera module (by the way, 1.4 µm pixel size, F2.4 aperture) CLEAR PIXEL (RGBC-matrix captures 75% more light than standard RGBG).

As a result, it turned out as always: the picture quality is not the best, especially when compared with the current flagships Samsung Note 3, LG G2, Sony Xperia Z1 or Nokia Lumia 1020. Everything is fine with color reproduction, the viewing angle is relatively wide, the focus is quite accurate, almost no mistakes , but detail suffers. Possibly bad post-processing. With an insufficient level of lighting, color artifacts “crawl out” in the photo.

The Moto X shoots video in 1080p resolution (you can’t do less with a standard application) at 30 frames per second and with auto focus. There is a slow motion mode. The number of frames becomes about 120 (the video slows down), the resolution decreases to 720p, the sound is turned off, the focus remains.

There is an HDR mode. Works very well in my opinion.

The camera can be launched in two ways. The first is standard: you need to unlock the screen and click on the "Camera" icon. The second one is the most convenient and unusual: to activate it, you need to quickly turn and turn the screen away from you twice, i.e. make a rotating motion with the hand. This function works even when the screen is locked.

Interface

Everything is very simple. On the screen below on the right is video recording, on the left is the launch of the front camera (2 MP, video writes 1080p). Swipe from left to right calls up the settings: HDR (auto, on or off), flash, touch focus, SLO (Slow Motion), panorama, geotagging, turn the sound on or off, activate the camera by turning the smartphone. Swipe from right to left - open the gallery. To use the digital zoom, you need to slide your finger from the bottom up (zoom in) or from the top down (zoom out) on the screen.

Performance

The manufacturer claims that this device is built on the original architecture called "Motorola X8 Mobile Computing System". But in fact, Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro is used: two Krait cores at 1.7 GHz, 28 nm, ARMv7. The main thing is not to confuse it with APQ8064, it has 4 cores, and here it is MSM8960T. The company is talking about software optimization of this chip.

“In addition, there are several processors for other tasks. In particular, a voice processor that allows you to "talk" with the device even when the screen is off, as well as a low-power processor used by the smartphone to display only necessary notifications in standby mode (Active Display). If I understand the description of this mode correctly, then Moto X will be one of the first Android smartphones with a normal notification system, which Nokia used to have on the S60, for example. That is, you have a smartphone in standby mode, the main notifications are displayed on the screen, but the energy for this is almost not consumed due to the fact that a separate processor with minimal power consumption is used for this task.

Adreno 320 is responsible for the graphic part. Screenshots from Asphalt 8:

The smartphone turned out to be “lightning fast”: the interface works very quickly, programs and games are launched, no brakes or “glitches” were noticed during testing, there were no interface lags either.

The Motorola Moto X is the second generation of phones with an improved screen, high-end processor, and infinitely customizable design, making the 2014 Moto X a true flagship device.

Motorola Moto X Phone Reviews

Last year, Motorola turned smartphone design on its head. Although the Moto X smartphone had a special beauty and personality, it could not compete with high-end smartphones.

This year, the Moto X stays true to its roots, but adds high specs that puts the device on par with any other flagship Android smartphone of 2014.

Custom Motorola Moto X

If you have seen the stylish Moto X, any other smartphone will seem boring to you. Thanks to Moto Maker, everyone can become a designer and make their phone the way they want it to be.

Appearance

Those who buy the new Motorola Moto X Smartphone will be able to choose from 25 different back panels, including four types of genuine leather, natural wood, and other bright, colorful options.

The new Moto X smartphone is very similar to the previous model, but this time around it has a bezel around it, it's premium metal instead of plastic. The metal looks and feels high-end. It also adds a nice shine to the phone. The slight curve of the case on the back makes it very comfortable to hold in the hand, and the matte surface gives a good grip.

The volume rocker sits below the power button on the right side, and the power button itself has a light texture to distinguish it from the volume button, which adds another little touch to the device. The headphone jack is placed at the top, while the micro-USB port is located at the bottom of the phone. Two speakers are located at the top and bottom on the front of the Motorola Moto X, while the camera, which has a round LED flash, is mounted on the back of the device.

Screen

This year, the Moto X smartphone is slightly larger than last year's model, mainly because the screen size is 5.2 inches. Even so, the difference in size is minimal at first glance, thanks to thinner bezels and space savings along the top and bottom of the phone.

Screen

The display is full HD, 1080p OLED so images look bright and crisp. If you're obsessed with pixels, you won't immediately notice that this isn't a Quad HD screen.

The new Moto X phone runs Android 4.4.4 KitKat, and unlike most other smartphone manufacturers, Motorola offers the software as pure as possible, with only a few changes and additions.

Excellent voice and gesture features

An interesting software extension is a voice assistant that recognizes your voice and responds only to it.

Moto X voice assistant

Gesture control on the X is also possible. All you have to do is run your hand over the phone when it is "sleeping" and the watch will tell you the time. We found this feature to be incredibly useful and makes checking the time on the Moto X much easier than on any other smartphone, including the LG G3, which has a similar thing called indirect influence.

You can also turn on your phone, turn on the camera at any time, and perform other cool gestures for common tasks.

The first Moto X phone was a solid, mid-range smartphone, but this time Motorola is giving us a true flagship. The main specifications of the Motorola Moto X are the same as those of other flagship smartphones, including a Qualcomm Snapdragon 2.5801 processor and 2GB of RAM.

Moto X proved to be very fast in all tests. Downloading and launching apps is a breeze, web searches are blazing fast, and streaming YouTube videos without buffering is a breeze.

In addition to the processor and a large amount of RAM, the Moto X phone offers you a choice of 16 or 32 GB of memory. Unfortunately, there's no microSD slot, so you're limited in terms of storage, something you'll never find on the Galaxy S5, LG G3, and HTC One M8.

Motorola Moto X photo and camera

The 13MP camera on the back has a much higher resolution than the 10MP shooter on the previous version. The camera focuses very quickly, but sometimes misses. In bright lighting conditions, everything tends to be in bright colors, especially if you focus on the wrong things.

In low light, the photos of the Moto X are slightly grainy, and so are the videos.

The 2-megapixel front camera works well for selfies and will handle video chat needs without issue.

Overall, we're not overly impressed with the cameras. They work well, but as with most Motorola phones, they're far from impressive.

The data transfer speed is fast and we didn't have any problems with the network. The call quality was also excellent, we had no problems with hearing or the microphone.

Battery

The Moto X smartphone has a 2300mAh battery that allows you to use your smartphone intensively for a full day.

Output

The Motorola Moto X is an improved second generation smartphone that features a new screen, high-end processor, and an infinitely customizable design.

Motorola's first Moto X was a solid mid-range smartphone, but this year's new Moto X is undeniably high-end and already at the same level as most other flagship phones, but it's the most customizable smartphone you can buy.

Despite the relative simplicity of the design of modern Motorola smartphones, it is unique and easily recognizable. Two wide speaker slots on the front panel, rounded corners and back panel, and, of course, a vertical strip with a camera lens, LED flash and a stylized letter M - these are the main distinguishing features of Moto devices. All four Motorola smartphones, recently presented in Russia, are made in this style, and outwardly differ only in size and number of sensors on the front panel. At Moto X Style there are a lot of them, which is especially noticeable on the white color scheme, so if the cluster of circles and ovals around the top speaker seems ridiculous to you, it is better to choose the black option. Others, apparently, are not expected - allowing you to independently choose the color of each main element and the material of the back panel, the Moto Maker service is still not available in Russia. Those who want to get Moto X Style with a wooden or leather back panel will still have to order a smartphone from abroad.

However, we also liked the standard materials very much. Display protected by glass Gorilla Glass 3, but water-repellent coating Provides some protection against splashes and drips. Rubberized back panel pleasant to the touch and does not strive to slip out of the hands, and metal case frame significantly strengthens the design - the smartphone perfectly resists bending. Here, however, its thickness also plays a role, varying from 7.5 to 11.1 mm. Motorola once again refuses to sacrifice functionality and durability for record-breaking thinness, and this is good news. Of course, thin devices like the Huawei Mate S (7.2 mm) seem more elegant, but the Moto X Style in a jeans pocket is still calmer. The only disappointing thing is that with such dimensions, Motorola did not bother to make the battery removable, and the back panel is firmly attached. (Nano-SIM and microSD cards are inserted on the tray into the common slot on the top edge.)

By the way, about the dimensions: despite the 5.7-inch display and rather large speakers, the smartphone is even shorter and narrower than the 5.5-inch Apple iPhone 6S Plus and only a centimeter longer than the 5-inch HTC One M9. The sound, although not as high quality as that of the HTC flagship, is still very loud and clear, even with hints of bass. Unfortunately, the complaints of many buyers about the top speaker turned out to be quite justified, it does creak a little when listening to music at high volume. But just what is slightly: if the device is not held close to the ear (and this should definitely not be done at high volume), it is almost impossible to hear the defect. If your player has an equalizer, you can try to slightly reduce the bass. Only the lower speaker is used for speakerphone, so during a telephone or Skype conversation, the problem disappears altogether.
