Motorola Moto X : a smartphone designed by you

The Moto X is available in variety of colors.
Few days ago Motorola had announced their long rumored smartphone,the Moto X.It is the first smartphone to be made in the U.S and Motorola claims that it will be delivered to you in 4 days or less.

As for the specs it comes with a 4.7-inch AMOLED (RGB) HD display with resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels with Gorilla Glass cornering.It is powered by 1.7 GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro with 2 GB of RAM.The company calls it the processor Motorola X8 Mobile Computing System.It comes with 10-megapixel clear pixel rear camera with LED flash while there is 2-megapixel front camera which records 1080p videos.It runs on Android 4.2.2 Jelly-Bean and comes with 16 and 32 GB of internal storage which unfortunately cannot be expanded.Motorola says that the specs is not the matter which makes it special but the whole experience and features make it special.We find out how. 

The X Factor

If you are wondering why I am calling it a smartphone designed by you ,well because of the customization feature it makes it stand out in the market.

If you ever wished in your dreams that one day you would be able to design your own smartphone then now your dream will come true because of Motorola who lets you customize the Moto X with the  help of something called the 'Moto Maker'.

It lets you choose the front panel,the back cover,camera lens color, the boot message,the accent,the wallpaper,the memory and more.It   comes with 360 color combinations so you can make 2,000 different combinations.

The Power of Google

The Moto X which is made by Google and Motorola.So that's the reason you will see most Motorola phones running Jelly Bean. Google has put the power of Google Now in Moto X so much that it outperforms the Nexus 4

Another thing that makes it special is it's Touchless control.Google Now  is always on and responds to you even if you are away from the device.You have to just 'Ok Google' and then Moto X will start answering.

If you want to take a picture just wrist your hand and it fires up the camera app. It is activity aware which means it knows when you are driving,when you want to take photos etc.Motorola has also added Active notifications which shows the notification when you want without draining the battery turning on the display.

Price

The Moto X has enough unique features and gimmicks that make it stand out but at a price of 
$199 (Rs.12000) on 2 year long contract which is a bit expensive for mid-range phone on contract.

The Moto X when launched should be priced around  rupee 30,000 to 35,000 to stand out of competition but we have already seen that Google has priced it's Nexus devices expensive in India than in US.
