The first truly hands free Google-Motorola phone: The Moto X
Introduction :
When i wrote the first post on this blog the Moto X was already released and i thought, not to include any review of Moto X in this blog.But recently i have checked the Motorola X8 chipset featured Moto X which really has some unique features over any other Smartphones available out there in the market.
And now when the Apple iPhone 5s is released and Motorola also released some funny ads of Moto X just before a day of 5s release (May be released intentionally against Apple iPhone 5s) in youtube criticizing all other smartphones.
So finally i ended up compiling this blog post.
Key Features of Moto X :
|
Hardware Specifications :
The most unique hardware feature that the Moto X features is the Motorola X8 chipset.The next section describes the X8 chipset.
All other hardware specifications are more or less common in nature to the present computing era.

X8 Mobile Copmputing System :
Motorola explains the x8 as a proprietary Motorola system architecture and eight processor cores that only run when there’s work to be done.
- 4 graphics processor cores for stunning clarity
- 2 application processor cores for swift action
- 2 low-power cores(NLP and Contextual processor) awaiting your next command
The Motorola X8 Mobile Computing System is comprised of a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4Pro family processor (1.7GHz Dual-Core Krait CPU, Quad-Core Adreno 320 GPU), a natural language processor and a contextual computing processor.
The NLP (Natural Language Processor) inside X8 makes the Moto X fully voice controlled and truly hands free.
Further more the Contextual processor inside X8 is solely designed to jump into action when you immediately need to capture a moment.
Brief review of Moto X :
This is the first mobile phone that came out of Motorola mobility after GOOGLE has acquired it.
First thing i would like to tell you is the Moto X is customizable.
You can customize the back and front cover, matching accessories, the storage capacity and other features.
The phone is launched in the USA with some specific network carriers and a contract of 2 years.
It is packed with a 4.7" of RGB matrix AMOLED display and 720p resolution.
With the HD resolution and the size of the display the device comes very much handy to use.
A 10MP camera with clear pixel of 1.4micron gives you a better light absorption sensor and hence better picture quality.
The aded attrcation of Moto X is the Motorola X8 chipset which dedicates 2 cores for application, one core solely for speech recognition and one core solely for waking up the device for image capturing while the phone is sleeping.
First when i heard that Google is launching their first flagship Motorola phone with a dual-core processing, i thought Motorola again will be ruled out of the mobile market.
But in a later time when i saw their unique X8 chipset, i was really impressed to see the device features and @ a nominal price of 199.99USD (of course with network carrier contract).
So it appers to be an awesome bet.

I can't figure the scores here as i haven't personally checked any of the Benchmarking tool with this phone.
Below are some of the external website links which shows the benchmarking scores of Moto X against the latest phones in the market.
Clearly the Moto X is a good bet against any other phones out there.
