Product Description

moto x black
The Moto X in black (view larger).

The first expression of the new Motorola, the Moto X from Sprint is the first smartphone to meet your desire for responsiveness with the best delivery of Google services. It's faster because it hears your voice and responds with Google Now. It tells you what you need to know, even when you're not touching it. You'll also be able to stay informed without constantly turning on your phone thanks to the new ultra-low power notification system.

Pick it up, and the Moto X is curved to fit your hand. With a twist of your wrist, it becomes your camera. Use a simple gesture to instantly launch the 10-megapixel rear camera without unlocking the phone. An easy-to-use interface allows you to capture images faster -- just touch anywhere on the screen to snap a photo and quickly shoot a burst of photos. The comfortable Moto X features a custom shaped battery that filled the curved space and powers your Moto X through a whole day.

Running the Android 4.2.2 (Jelly Bean) operating system, the Moto X is powered by the Motorola X8 Mobile Computing System, which includes a software optimized Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro (1.7 GHz Dual-Core Krait CPU, quad-core Adreno 320 GPU), a natural language processor, and a contextual computing processor.

The Moto X has 16 GB of internal storage, and its 2200 mAh battery provides up to 13 hours of talk time and 10 days (240 hours) of standby time.

Never Miss a Shot

The Moto X allows you to go from pocket to picture in just a few seconds, so you'll never miss a shot again. Whether your Moto X is in your pocket or already in use, just twist your wrist twice and it's ready to shoot. And because you can touch anywhere on the screen, it only takes one hand -- and just a few seconds -- to capture a perfect shot. The embedded Clear Pixel technology collects more light and snaps pictures up to twice as fast as other phone's cameras, so you can capture the darkest scenes or stop motion blur in bright light.

The 10-megapixel rear camera has a 16:9 aspect ratio and can shoot video at up to Full HD 1080p resolution at 30 fps (frames per second) with slow motion. It also features auto HDR, a panorama option, photo burst, and a 4x digital zoom.

Touchless Control

The Moto X responds to your voice, without you having to touch it. You just have to say: "OK Google Now" and give it a command. You can check messages, set an alarm, get directions, find out the weather, or do just about anything. With just a little training in a quiet room, your Moto X learns to recognize your voice. Then it knows you, even when everyone's talking at once. And thanks to the super low-power natural language processor, your Moto X is always ready with a quick response.

Spec Highlights
  • 3G/4G LTE connectivity

  • Android 4.2.2 (Jelly Bean) operating system

  • 1.7 GHz dual-core processor + 400 MHz quad-core graphics processor

  • 4.7-inch touchscreen AMOLED display (720 x 1280)

  • 10-MP rear camera (with Full HD 1080p video)

  • Front 2-MP camera with HD 720p video

  • 16 GB storage + 2 GB of RAM

  • Wireless-N Wi-Fi + Bluetooth 4.0 LE + NFC

  • Up to 13 hours of talk time

Active Display

Even when it seems to be sleeping, your Moto X is paying attention. Instead of a blinking light that doesn't actually tell you anything, information quietly appears on the screen. You don't have to wake your phone to look at the time or see your messages. But the active display is also smart enough to know when it's in your pocket or when it's placed face down so it won't deliver notifications, saving on battery power. As soon as you take it out of your pocket or turn it over, it discretely pulses with the time and any notifications you've received.

When you need a little more info, just touch the notification icon and details will appear on the top and bottom of the screen. Drag the icon up and the app associated with the notification will open. Drag the icon left or right to make them all go away.

Smart Extras

Motorola Migrate: Wirelessly your old phone's stuff -- photos, videos, SIM contacts and even your call and text history -- from any Android phone in just a few steps.

Motorola Assist: Recognizes when you shouldn't be bothered, like when you're sleeping or driving. You can set actions and exceptions so that they work exactly how you want them to.

Motorola Connect: Read and reply to texts, and see who's calling your Moto X directly from your computer's Chrome browser. All without ever having to reach for your phone.

Google Drive: Moto X owners get an extra 50 GB of Google Drive storage (on top of the standard 15 GB) free for two years to safely keep and share photos, documents and other files (for a total of 65 GB).

Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean) OS

Fast, fluid, and smooth, the Android 4.2 operating system (nicknamed Jelly Bean) offers effortless movement between home screens -- like turning the pages of a book. And it includes faster orientation changes, quicker switching between recent apps, and smoother and more consistent rendering throughout your mobile device. And widgets work like magic. As you place widgets on the screen, everything else automatically moves to make room. When they're too big, widgets resize on their own.

Smooth Operator. More reactive and uniform touch responses mean you can almost feel the pixels beneath as your finger moves across the screen. .

Live in the Now. With Google Now, you get the right information at just the right time -- before you even ask. It can tell you today's weather before you start your day, or when the next train will arrive as you're standing on the platform. .

Photo Sphere Camera. Snap pictures in every direction -- up, down, and all around you -- and have them come together into incredible, immersive photo spheres that put you right inside the scene.

Smarter Keyboard with Gesture Typing. Just glide your finger over the letters you want to type, and lift after each word. You don't have to worry about spaces because they're added automatically for you.

Beam Photos and Videos. With Android Beam, you can easily share your photos and videos.

5.0 out of 5 stars Different type of phone September 25, 2013
By Martin
I am and have always been an tech aficionado. Always getting the latest phones based on specs and being the latest versions no matter what the battery life is or the bugs. I have always been running beta software and until now it has always been because there was no real argument to use the versions of the phones that came with the devices. However the Moto X has made me rethink this. I looked at this phone and even though by a spec list it is not top of the line I can't tell the difference in performance between this phone and the HTC one(top of the line). This phone has some unique features that no other phone even comes close. Overall this phone was a great purchase and will recommend to all my friends.

5.0 out of 5 stars My all-time favorite phone October 10, 2013
By PB
I'm a technophile and have used numerous smartphones over the past few years, including multiple BlackBerries, iPhones, and Android devices. This is by far the best phone I've ever had. Motorola has really hit a home run with this phone, finding the optimal intersection between the pure Android experience, a layer of non-intrusive and useful software optimizations, and hardware that is optimized to work well with that software.

Love lots of things about it, including:

- Voice activated search gets it right all the time. I can ask it the temperature, do a Google search, tell it to start playing a song, send an SMS message, and many more. Plus, it's always listening, so it works without pressing a button (you just say "OK Google Now").

- Love the look and feel of the device. The device fits perfectly in my hand, yet it still has a huge screen. The back has a great feel and a little dimple that helps you orient it in your hand.

- Twist your hand twice and the camera starts up. No screen unlock, no looking for the app, no waiting - love it!

- Battery life is much better than my previous Sprint phone (though the battery isn't removable, which means I have to be a little more careful about usage)

- The phone is fast and smooth. No hiccups or hangs, it just works.

- Active notifications really work. Whenever I take my phone out of my pocket it shows the time and any new notifications I have without me having to press a button. It does it in a way that only lights up a small part of the screen, so battery life is preserved.

- Automatically switches into smart modes. It has modes for meetings and driving.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stock Android Bliss and Then Some! October 12, 2013
Amazon Verified Purchase
This is my 4th Android phone and 6th Android device (two tablets) since I started using Android in 2010. I've experienced devices from HTC, Samsung, and Motorola. This is my first phone with a near stock experience. It's a smooth experience with no lag, crashes...just how one would envision Android would be. Motorola's tweaks through Motorola Assist, Active Notifications, Touchless Controls are a welcome addition and I'm not sure how I'll live without them on my next phone.

Storage:
I was concerned about only having 16 GB of storage. I've decided to embrace the cloud and the 50 GB of Google Drive storage for two years will help with that. I've set all my photos to auto sync to Google+ and will wipe them from my phone to free up space.

Screen Size:
If you're coming from a phone with a larger screen like the Galaxy S III of S4, the screen size will take some getting used to. The Moto X has a 4.7" screen and the GS3 has 4.8, but the GS3's screen feels significantly bigger due to the fact that the Moto X uses virtual buttons.

Battery Life:
As a heavy user, I get far from the advertised 24 hr life. I can get a full business day (8 hrs) with moderate to heavy usage.

Camera:
The camera is poor. It get's the job done for social media uploads, but I've used other phones that have print quality.

I'd recommend this phone to power users and new users alike.

4.0 out of 5 stars Focus on the phone not the specs! December 3, 2013
By JFrey
Amazon Verified Purchase
Google and Motorola did something different here by actually focusing on how to give a better phone experience and not just cram the latest processor and highest pixels per inch display. Or jam it with gimmicky features that you'll never use like on the Samsung devices. Touchless control while the phone is still off may seem gimmicky at first but the next time you're barreling down the highway in heavy traffic and need to set GPS navigation or quick send a text to someone because you forgot something without having to fumble with the phone is pretty handy. Also the active display is hard to live without once you start using it to get a quick preview of notifications without having to turn on or mess with the display. The device is super responsive running nearly stock android OS with virtually no bloatware from Sprint or Motorola. The phone is coated inside and out with water resistant spray. I've seen videos of it been dunked in water and still working. I also like that the phone is 100% assembled in USA and 70% of parts are sourced within USA.

5.0 out of 5 stars great phone not too big November 20, 2013
Amazon Verified Purchase
small form factor compared to samsung galaxy and htc one drew me to this phone i had a motorola photon before this which is almost the same size and i didnt really want a screen too big, maybe my hands are small but i feel like galaxy and htc ones screens are too large to manage with one hand

the screen is sharp at 720p its not 1080 but i remember people were saying you cant tell the difference in 32in tvs a few years ago lol either way it looks nice

battery life is great i go from 10am - 12AM (14 hours) with internet or music what have you games i dont really worry about killing the battery compared to my photon which i had to budget my battery usage

honestly the voice commands are a gimmick but i can see it being useful for people who need to use their phone while driving ( i dont drive myself)

ultimately

good form factory good battery works great with games and its snappy
