Heyo all!
Motorola just lifted the NDA on the new Moto X and so a flood of information will be coming out about it over the next few days. In fact, some sites already have reviews.
I will put links here to official statements and third party reviews:
New Moto X Homepage
The Verge Hands-on
The Verge Review (8.8/10)
Android Central Hands-on with the New Moto X
Android Central Video Hands-on
Gizmodo Hands-on
Engadget Hands-on
Motomaker Bootloader Unlocked Version?
Moto 360:
Moto 360 Homepage
Gizmodo Hands-on
The Verge Hands-on
The Verge Review
Anandtech Hands-on
Arstechnica Review
I will add links as more come out.
Oh yeah, and there is also this little thing that I don't think anyone saw coming.
Replies to this thread should can involve thoughts, discussions and questions you guys may have about these new devices.
Enjoy!
images shamefully stolen from the Gizmodo articles.

My personal thoughts on each device:
The new X doesn't look great to me. That ring around the camera really turns me off and I don't know how I feel about the new leather backplate options.
As for the 360, I'll have to try one before I buy one. I've heard that it doesn't have the greatest battery life but other than that is supposed to be phenomenal.

The leather is an option which mean you don't have to select it if you don't like it. Unless you are part of Peta or your religion is against it, but I'm hoping it's some type of fake leather.
I'm a bit grumpy right now. I desperately want qi charging for the X and NFC for the G, it doesn't look like either will get them.
I rather get the N6 for Android L and qi charging in that case. But I can still sell my OnePlus to fund for the X.
I have no interest in wearing a watch whether analog or digital.

I was using a Galaxy 10.1 Tablet earlier today with the faux leather the S5 has and it was alright I guess. I just wasn't amazed.
Yes it's an option, but it's a premium option. I was saying that I don't know how I feel about it because who knows, it might be better than what's on the S5.

The leather comes from the Horween leather company, they work with bovine and equine hide. I personally don't like leather (real or faux) unless it servers a purpose, belt, shoes and coat. Back on topic though, I know what my neXt phone will be, I'd even go with the G over other flagships out there.

Tbh, bigger screen, stronger processor, leather/wood back cover, higher cam and stuff, they are useless for me.
Just one thing me want from the new moto X, is the customizable voice command trigger. Or they will bring that to old Moto X as well?

Contextual services got updated which brought drive and home mode to the G and E so that's a possibility.

Anyone know if it uses the same sized SIM card as the current Moto X?

It does

I see where you're going there.

How usable will the 360 be with the current X/Ultra unrooted? Heart rate monitor? Anyone?

Anyone post the new wallpapers stock of new Moto X please? Also please quote me once u do

It has been said that the 1st Gen Moto X will receive updates to those services. It will also get Android L when it becomes available.

sweet, you just saved me from spend 500$ for that, now i can wait for the update in peace :fingers-crossed:

I'm in. Have an upgrade to use and I doubt the Nexus X will be available on VZW. Only other phone I might consider is the Note 4, no interest in the One or G3.
The metal frame is a welcome surprise.

I like the fact the new moto voice can interact with whatsapp. Now that whatsapp has replaced 99% of my texting, this is a must have feature

After seeing how big the new x is I'm glad I got the og moto x for my wife. That would be to big for her plus it just cost me .95 cents at best buy. I think they went to big to fast 4.7 to 5.2 inch a big difference. I think the main issue that will turn off current moto x owners will be the size. Also is there no qi charger? If so that is a huge mistake as well. As far as aesthetics I don't think it looks that bad. However I do think the og x looks better.

I read on Gizmod that it's NOT coming to the OG Moto X. They even said as much as OG Moto X dead end device.

The battery is by FAR the most disappointing feature.

Why I am getting rid of my Moto G for the RAZR I.

I have the RAZR i about a year ago, was really happy with it, but the app compatibility annoyed me too much, now fast forward to now, I own a Moto G, this is my first Motorola device since I gave up the RAZR i a year ago, and wow I have missed Motorola, every phone I have had from them has been so reliable.
BUT there are downsides and reasons why I am now going to switch BACK to the RAZR i from the MOTO G.
8 megapixel vs 5 megapixel: RAZR i wins here, not that I use my phone for photography, but the Moto G camera awful, everything looks painted!
Design: Well not saying the MOTO G design is bad, but let's face it, the RAZR i takes the crown without a doubt in design.
IPS vs AMOLED: even though the Moto G does have a higher pixel density, doesn't say that the RAZR i screen is awful, and I have always preferred AMOLED over IPS, but thats personal preference.
Micro SD: The Moto G doesn't have one!!
web browsing speed: I did a side by side comparison with my friends RAZR i, the RAZR i is a second quicker, despite been less powerful, speaks for itself.
These reasons mean a lot to me and that's why I am switching back. And maybe it will make you think twice about switching too.
I just hope apps have become more compatible since I last had it :/
Well, the moto G is fine, but not something to see as an upgrade for us razr i users, I'm waiting for the new asus line, I'm very happy with my intel processor, although what I wished for it didn't come true, and remember kids, always update to more, no to less-
edit: the moto g display is tn,not ips.

yeah, I agree, Moto G is equally fine as the razr i. I bought the Moto G for my mom so I had some time comparing the two phones and in the end both have their strengths and flaws. I would say, if you have neither of the two phones and want to switch to a medium spec phone then go for the G, but if you are using the i at the moment and think about going for the G, I would say it is not worth it.

Read on gsmarena it used a IPS. oh well. And i now own the RAZR i, it's brlliant, the design and camera are far superior. But it is a little more laggy.
Moto-G is great but as far as I can see there's no way for it to recognise a car dock. My Defy had a magnetic switch and the Razr i has NFC which works fine for that purpose and maybe for other stuff too (one day...).
I'm using more than 16Gb of my SD card, so space would be an issue.
Definitely not a Razr I replacement for me.
Moving back to ARM would be a positive I think - a couple of apps have recently stopped working after an update (NavFree included) and I think multi-core would help with lag. That said, I've just reduced the lag a lot by uninstalling the updates to the increasing number of Google apps I don't use and disabling them in the app manager so I'm not hassled to update them. I recommend doing that.
I can understand you, because I've already thought about switching to the moto g, too. But I really love my RAZR i and I won't switch so fast!

not meaning to Necro too much but this thread is interesting
being less powerful ... well when you oppose a quadcore versus a singlecore with HT ... yet the Razr i can be on the level of a Quadcore SOC thanks to the 2ghz of the Z2480

i have to say you got to give credit on a single core virtual dual core who do almost as fine as a Exynos 4412/Snapdragon 400... the Razr i still have the Oomph to kick 2013/2014 middle range phone with a quality build and overall good performance
(comming from a ex SGS III custom ROM 21-23K pts user ) so yes ... a Moto G is definitely not a "upgrade"
compatibility indeed the main letdown but yet none of the app i use are non working, bonus: PPSSPP/FPse are smoother than on my SGS III
and also the first phone i keep on stock ... Moto did a awesome job to not "bloat" too much the OS nearly a Nexus experience (feel the google print ... let's hope Lenovo will not let down the 4.4 for the XT890 )
i got my Ri for less than 120$ in a near new state, it still does more than 2 day on moderate use and a bit more than 1 day on heavy use (my kind of heavy use of course) the screen bear just one little scratch
and the rest of the phone is pristine. awesome material and build, good user experience, still actual in term of performances, the camera button is practical and near instant camera app launch from screen off is just awesome.
now who really need, 13mp, QHD UHD, 2gb RAM and more, and over 5" ... not me, that's for sure (and i had several size and model of smartphones/phablet)
ok the 8gb storage is a bit...meh... since no app2sd but i have all my app installed and still 2.5gb free and i use a 32gb UHSI µSD
i need to figure out a way to move the folder for Manga Rock, from main storage to the SD, having 2.5gb for the download is a bit small :laugh:

I tried to covert my wife but she won't convert. I just bought her a new macbook air. She still has the iPhone 4s but doesn't want the iPhone 5s. She said she's waiting on the iPhone 6. But I'll probably get her a cheap iPhone 5 for the time being. The reason I got the moto x was because the simplicity of it and overall daily use to be able to take photos easily on the fly. Was missing the iPhone lock screen notifications and active notifications sufficed, instead of a light on my gs4. I was a flashaholic with my gs4 but just got tired of always setting up the APN, the apps, etc. Good luck with the N5 I'm sure you'll love it, or come back to the moto x lol.

LOL - My wife has an iPhone 4s from way back - AT&T, switched her to an MVNO for 1/3 the price. I encouraged her to keep it. Saving us $$$ from her is what I'm all about.
Myself - a Moto X GSM Dev Edition (from the el-cheapo deals Moto offered). Of course, I upgrade at will - cause what I sav from her phone expenses, I spend on myself.
Sorry, I am also miss it.

Moto x+1 leaked!

Tktechnews got a first look at moto x+1:
"Some things I can tell you right now. The display is Amazing, all preproduction model devices have a certain color back. Which I cant say to protect the source. And ill most likely have to put tape on the back to hide that.
Ill put it next to the old Moto X for comparison.
SD card slot is confirmed (at least from what ive seen) (you dont think id travel with all that cash without some proof of the device)
Also unexpected goodies! A new moto tablet is in the house for verizon and its a beauty.
And yes I will be dropping images on intagram"
He confirmed the 1080p amoled screen. Also, today he posted a video but i cant post the link here. Check his twitter account: @tktechnews
Cool.
He was trying to say Touchless Controls is not working but he was using "Ok Google" as the trigger. Yeah... mine doesn't trigger with that either, you have to say "Ok Google Now" LOL.
Rookie.
And you have to actually train it (it's not enabled by default, the training enabled the service), at least that's how it's been on the Droid MAXX and Droid Mini I owned recently as well as the Moto X I have currently (but will be returning next week).
You'd think the guy posting all these leaks of new Motorola hardware would know how to operate 'em in the first place, geez.
Truth be told!
I'm going to assume the chip inside is not going to be Motorola's in-house SoC since Qualcomm has their own solution on the S800.
Touchless control is still included. Yay!

Nice ! So the Active Display will still available. I hope they put more functions and develop for more customization on it.
Very exciting stuff. I am very curious to see how much bigger it is next to a Moto X.
Looks good!
I don't think the size of the new one will be as big as the others with a similar size display. If you look at the current X, it's the smallest phone that has a display size of 4.7 inches. ALL other phones with the same display size are noticeably bigger.
5" 1080p AMOLED, SD card, snapdragon 800, and the active display/touchless moto x features. I'll buy it. (unless it launches at a stupid high price, then I'll wait 60 days for the price to cut in half)

The S800 does have a fully programmable DSP, but why go through all of the work again when they've already done the work with the TI DSPs?
It just makes more sense to keep the DSPs found in the Moto X and just upgrade those as they improve as well. TI provides better support to manufacturers anyways.

I'd trade the SD card for a better camera and aluminium body. The existing speaker is perfect.
I know for a fact Motorola will update their X8 system integrating it with a more up to date Snapdragon CPU (possibly based on 800 series).

New pic from tktechnews shows the phone about 1/3rd of an inch taller than the x.
Says they are working on sanding off the markings then more pics and videos coming.
Well it looks like I won't be buying the X+1. They show it being a Sharpie width taller, which is a lot taller in reality. I could handle a device that is a little wider, or even thicker. It's the tallness that bothers me, doesn't fit in my pocket well and is uncomfortable while sitting. I'm glad I have my Moto X however, it's such a good phone I don't really feel the need to upgrade. Maybe they will make a mini or something. Who knows.

Yeah I need to figure out timing and priorities here. The maxx still meets most of my needs.
If DNG support comes in lollipop(and this phone) then it may become very hard to justify an upgrade right now. I am 99% sure that the raws these cameras can produce will allow us to take very very good photos. I was checking the specs on this camera and it does actually support binning a raw image file.
The camera is really my only complaint and if I am being honest, the camera is currently quite good.

well for a former moto x user, this device could be less comfortable when hold it in hand
especially the shape at the edge.
And, is it just me or someone else? I really hate the capacitance buttons, if it use a navigation bar i can simply just hide the button and use LMT to make my life easier, specifically on such large size of screen.

Its roughy the same size as the phone this forum is centered around which I can handle without trouble and actually consider to be ideal, some people seem to really hate capacitive buttons. I have a nexus with on screen buttons and I prefer having them off screen. To each their own I suppose.
I think that its targeted at a different type of user than the X.
Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk
Same here, the only negative about having capacitive button is that they can't be customized/ themed. But I'll take the extra screen real estate over that any day. The Turbo is a beast of a phone and I would love to have one. But I think I'll wait for the next generation phones running on 64-bit.

I'm guessing we will know in about a month. I am hopeful.

If I hadn't just picked up the Maxx I would have bought it in a heartbeat. Although... I could buy wheels for my car for the same price. [emoji58]
The Maxx has the same battery life and does simultaneous voice and date... Winner.

Broadly speaking I'm not sure that's very important to many people anymore. I do t know anyone that makes voice calls and i would be just fine with data only. Maybe if you were a tether user.

Well I love the idea of the Turbo but it MAY have same issue as the Droid 4 with ear speaker then gonna pass on it. Can't stand the idea if gaining root or even unlocked bootloader then lose it cause phone gets sent in for repairs and get an updated unrootable phone back. Happened with our Droid 4s twice luckily they came with bad ear speakers and the next 2 were old stock that we got root on.
But that's me not every one else.
Stopped by Verizon after getting a haircut. My XT1080M had significantly better 1X service (by over 5dbm) and slightly better LTE service.
With that said, the build quality of the turbo seems much better than the MAXX which is known for being a little creaky.

Yes, my maxx is creaky too And I even swapped out my original because of it, my gf who works at Verizon grabbed a ballistic nylon turbo and wow. It really is a great phone and I enjoy using it, but the more I use it the more I realize that there is nothing wrong with my maxx I'm having trouble justifying the upgrade.

Be proud of your Moto X

I've been Moto x user for almost a year and I have no desire to upgrade. My work issued me another phone which is G3. Guess what? Moto X has some significant advantages over over that phone, even though it's considered high end device. G3 colors look dull and washed out, not to mention auto brightness feature doesn't work that well. Black color is much deeper and white color looks much better on Moto X. It dims the screen way too much indoors. Here are some interesting images. One is at 100%(bottom) another is on 0% (top) brightness. Images are taken using Panasonic mirrorless camera.
If you are thinking about upgrade, make sure you check out your next device in person.

My story is quite opposite.
I just got my moto x first gen four days ago and I'm in love.
I never quite found the phone that I could love until I used this phone.
I have owned M7,M8,S4,G2,Nexus 4&5, Moto G, Optimus G, and then from the Lumia line the 520/635/935.
I might have a problem....
The funny thing is this phone doesn't really do everything the best. It sits in the hand the best though.

I also love my moto x, but I've found some lacks:
-the device is slightly heavy considering his dimensions;
-the camera could be better;
-the device overheats easily;
so if the new moto x 2014 was not so big maybe I would have bought it
Only concern I have with my Moto X is the Whites are soo yellowish beyond acceptable... I completely hate that... Except for that it's awesome... The ways it sits at hand while calling is just so damn nice :thumbup:

I've noticed that too, but trust me it's far better than G3 or many other devices.

I took it apart once and it's very well built device, I would compromise grams for durability.
Camera is Ok I've taken some decent pictures with it. Most people don't realize that camera is just a tool and adjustments and conditions of picture taking is very important.
That;s the issue of all modern cellphones.
So Moto X users everywhere should be thrilled that you like the phone more than something else? Why should I care who likes what phone and how old said phone is? All that matters is what I like and can make work for me, not random people in the internet with unknown preferences and tastes.

I bought my XT1060 Dev edition off someone for 200 bucks to replace my Nokia 520. I'm on the AT&T network right now but I may switch to Verizon in the near future. It's good to have a phone that can run on both networks.
Moto X is the one
I've been using moto handsets for more than 18 years, I'm crazy about flashing ROMs, Moto X is the first handset which made me stop flashing ROMs, only the new CM12 I flashed it then back again to stock so quick.
I cannot live without the smartness of this phone, it's the smartest, dealing with me smartly and differently at home, car and when even touched or talked to.
My next will be definitely the new Moto X 2014.
This Moto series is incomparable.

You can always download the Screen Balance app I made to sort this issue out through the App store.

Looks like a nice app. Does it include presets for certain effects?

It does not, what effects were you thinking? I am sure I could get it made...
I really really loved my Defy and Defy+s. Those were the only cellphones that resisted MY wear without breaking or scratching. It's a pity that Motorola discontinued the line (and their hardware is so outdated).
But the Moto X 1 is the best of its time, no questions asked.
