This quarter is really good for Motorola , after overwhelming success of most popular mid range smartphone Moto G , finally Motorola has launched Moto X in India for Rs23999 on Flipkart which was launched last year in US. However there is no Moto Maker -which enables customers to customize their device with various style options, Internal memory, personalize messages on startup, Sync with Google account etc.
Moto X comes with similar kind of specifications as Moto G a quick comparison is shown in table at end of this post.
Moto X comes with slightly large display size of 4.7 inch than its sibling and runs on 1.7 GHz Snapdragon S4 Pro Dual core processor unlike Moto G's 1.2 GHz Snapdragon 400 Quad core processor. Moto X is supported by Adreno 320 Quad core Graphics processor and comes with 2 GB of RAM. Other major difference is on Camera department where Moto X sports a 10 MP rear and 2 MP front camera, Moto G has 5 MP rear and 1.3 MP front camera. Both the phones run on latest Android 4.4 KitKat.
Now the biggest dilemma with customers is to which one to choose, does these specifications justify Rs 10,000 difference. Let's find out.
Build Quality and Design: Experiencing Moto G's build quality and reviews of Moto X build quality leaves no doubt in mind about it, Moto X is tightly packed phone with good ergonomics in design. With 4.7 inch display it is 10.4 mm thick at the thickest point and it reduces to 5.6 mm at the edges making the design curvy and easy to hold. Available in Royal Blue, Walnut, Red, Turquoise, Teak, Black and White colors, Moto X offers lot of choice to customers.(Walnut and Teak color costs Rs2000 extra).
Active Display: Moto X comes with AMOLED display which makes it possible to beam time and notification details on screen using select pixels only which means you don't have to press unlock button on your phone just to see time, or notifications. Instead of LED notification Moto X uses only small part of screen for the same which actually saves a lot of power.
Snapdragon Soc Processor MSM8960DT : Though on paper it is dual core processor but it is still better than many quad core processor which are over clocked and used in other devices. With Natural Language processor and contextual processor in built it makes the processor even more efficient and gives enhanced user experience based user's earlier preferences and actions.
Moto X has NFC support as well which makes it future ready for Indian markets.
Voice Control and other features: Moto X is your new assistant which listens to your voice commands and perform the desired action. You just have to train it a little bit to recognize your voice, then you can unlock your phone, call a contact, text your friend , ask to open any application, search internet with just your voice command to Moto X. However it will work only with your voice and no one else can use this feature apart from you (user who set up voice command function).
While travelling Moto X sense the motion and switches itself to car mode where in it will read out your texts and respond to more voice commands and switch back to normal mode once you stop driving. Similarly if you have synced your meeting calendar with your device, Moto X will automatically go into silent mode and reply back to your mails about when you will be available.
Gesture Control: Moto X's 10 MP camera comes into action with just a flick of your wrist, when in locked mode. This makes it easy to switch on camera faster when it is required and make sure you don't miss any moments.
Bottom Line: Some years back Indian users were crazy about Mega Pixel thing in phone cameras and that was the deciding factor for most of the purchases, similarly its all about number of cores of processor. But processor used in Moto X more about the user experience and assisting its user better. Though it lacks high level specs which are expected for this price range but it is designed to deliver the best smartphone user experience. It doesn't come with custom UI skins and theme and provides you with pure Android KitKat experience. Looking at the specs and features it is worth for the price. So, if you are ready to shed some extra money from your pocket to experience best of Android you can opt for Moto X.
