Unfortunately, many fans underestimate American technology flagship Moto X, assuming it to be a great smartphone with outstanding characteristics, and only a prototype Nexus 6. In general we can say that it is in the shadow of the latest iteration of the so-called Google Phone. And for good reason. New from Motorola has a 5.2-inch display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, quad-core Snapdragon 801 processor with a clock frequency of 2.5 GHz and, most importantly, the 13-megapixel camera. That is its potential we now estimate.

The updated version of the flagship from Motorola was introduced in September this year. It seems that the company’s engineers have done a lot of conclusions, but because this time did not forget about the good stuffing. The smartphone has 2GB of RAM, GPU Adreno 330 and even stronger than glass Corning Gorilla Glass 3. It would seem that the device turned out incredible, but because it was urgent to look for going abroad friends. Or open a visa and plan a trip yourself.

Alas, in this huge ointment was not without a spoon of tar. In the role of the latter made the battery capacity of 2300mAh. Perhaps even souped users Android operating system will recognize that this is not enough.

Whatever it was, the rest of the smartphone is really good, and turn a blind eye would be wrong. Special mention deserves the 13-megapixel camera that can record video in 4K resolution. But to demonstrate its capabilities to potential customers, for example, to record what is happening on the street would be too easy is not it?

That’s why the company decided to attract marketer’s professional videographer, which is specialized in shooting with drones. For realization conceived he was given the drone, the new version of Moto X, and probably a good fee.

See the results of this work can be long now, view video from a bird’s flight.

Remain indifferent to what they see is quite difficult: landscapes look really amazing. By the way, recently we have seen something similar on Samsung Galaxy Note 4. Which device to show their best side? Share your thoughts in the comments.

The post Camera that is capable of a new Moto X? appeared first on Raqwe.

In early September of this year, Motorola introduced the second generation of public Moto X, then 2 months later in the US market together with mobile operator Verizon was presented Droid Turbo, which is the international version (Droid Maxx) came out a month later – in early November of this year – but so far only in South America. What will you choose Droid Turbo vs Moto X?

Not so long ago the company went under the wing of the Chinese Lenovo. It’s a shame to see that the company, which in the past was one of the largest and most successful American producers, now being bought is one, another giant. Motorola, probably the only company that manufactures smartphones sink version of Android – except for the Nexus-devices – adding only their applications and a variety of additional features such as Ambient Display, which perfectly complement the drain firmware.

Display – Droid Turbo vs Moto X

Comparing the two devices, it should be noted that both are worthy competitors of each other. Moto X has AMOLED-display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080, in turn, is embedded in the Droid Turbo already QHD-display, also on technology AMOLED. Both screens have the same characteristics and performance in various tests, but the first pixel density is inferior. Even taking into account the fact that the display is better Droid Turbo Moto X, it will not be better than its competitors, such as Note 4 or Galaxy S5. In our video review mentioned that the quality of the screen Droid Turbo and, accordingly, Moto X is not good enough – it does not show the true color and has trouble seeing the pictures on the maximum and minimum brightness. All this is due to the fact that the displays in both devices old developments that Samsung used two years ago. Therefore, in terms of the screen cannot be said that both devices are something to stand out from each other and from the competition, but because of the QHD-resolution wins in this aspect Droid Turbo or its international version of Moto Maxx.

Processor – Droid Turbo vs Moto X

Processors in the devices are also different: in the Moto X installed Snapdragon 801 processor with a clock frequency of 2.5 GHz Droid Turbo – already more modern and fast Snapdragon 805 processor with a clock frequency of 2.7 GHz. With regards to memory, here, too, there are differences: in the Moto X has only 2 gigabytes of RAM, as opposed to the 64-bit 3 gigabytes Droid Turbo. Indeed, virtually all tasks Droid Turbo on speed ahead Moto X; they are both very bright, Android devices on both “flies”, but Droid Turbo is still faster. It is worth noting, again we are talking about Android, that Moto X has already received Android 5.0 Lollipop, and that’s a plus, even if we consider that the Droid Turbo in the near future will also receive the new version.

Camera – Droid Turbo vs Moto X

The camera also has a notable difference: in both cases it shows mediocre results, but if you do not compare with devices from other manufacturers, the Moto X built a 13-megapixel camera with an aperture of f / 2.25 – indicator is not very impressive – in turn, Droid Turbo has a 21-megapixel camera with an aperture of f / 2.0. And like all good, plus everything we have different software improvements such as smart focus, support for 4K-videos feature slow-motion, etc., we also note the double flash on the Droid Turbo and a ring on the Moto X, however, even taking into account all listed, cameras in both devices averages, and all depends on the software part – Motorola programmers are not compatible with cameras, and it shows.

RAM – Droid Turbo vs Moto X

Regarding the characteristics of the Moto X is losing on all fronts, but for many users, the decisive factor is not the CPU and RAM, and design. Yes, the processor is weaker, less RAM, camera devices are equally “good”, but as for the design and materials of the case, then there is clearly wins Moto X, it is the first mass smartphone, which wrapped in leather – we are not talking about premium smartphones, such like Vertu and so on. e., – although Motorola devices fully be called mass because they do not suit many. That there is a metal frame around the body, two front stereo speakers, a beautiful ring flash – all this gives the device a certain charm.

Results – Droid Turbo vs Moto X

In turn, Droid Turbo has a design “on the fan”: it is in the style of Droid-like Device Company and only geeks and fans of Motorola. Of course, it may be noted and the materials of the case: this is Kevlar, which is used in bullet-proof vests, and nylon, which is capable of withstanding the enormous temperature, it is possible to mention the protection against moisture, but is an ordinary consumer is important to all of this? Is it important to the consumer – whether he will stand smartphone penetration in fire or water? Perhaps some important, but mainstream consumers clearly do not need it all. Consumers need quality housing that feels nice in the hand and is made of expensive materials, Kojima has Moto X. Solve anyway you because maybe you are the person who needs Kevlar, which like Droid-design, which are unimportant pleasant tactile sensation, and perhaps you’re a fan of the skin, metal, beautiful design. One cannot say which is better, but objectively speaking, subject only to the technical component; the Droid Turbo wins this battle.

It is finished! Until I finally reached Moto X (2 Gen.), which I will test soon. Frankly, this smartphone was among the most anticipated this year, and it’s not just my opinion. Many foreign publications Moto X 2014 a new generation of one of the best Android-smartphone. Let’s find out if it really is. At least at first glance.

Packaging equipment – Moto X 2014

Theater begins with a hanger, and the smartphone Moto X 2014 – with the box. In this case, nothing special, white cardboard with purple Motorola logo and the model name. Inside, everything is now also made in blue-violet tones.

Included in unit exactly those in the first generation of Moto X: clip, charger two USB-ports with a total output current of 1.15 mA, and USB-cable with a nice groove, which allows you to not be mistaken with the orientation of the connector in the dark until we all waiting USB Type-C , as in a recent Nokia N1.

Is that added complete headphones, but they, like almost any other, who put in a box with smartphones are not worth attention.

Feelings – Moto X 2014

My biggest fear about Moto X 2014 was his size. Still leap forward by as much as half an inch – this is not a joke. I recall that in the new generation mounted display with a diagonal of 5.2″ and a resolution of 1080p, which naturally affected the size of the product.

As in the previous generation of its flagship smartphone, Motorola managed to make a very, very good body. Now it is much thinner edge and made of aluminum, which gives the impression that the smartphone is much smaller than it actually is. Although this size still large for complete comfort while using one hand. Reach out to the far upper corner is very problematic, if not to resort to the second hand.

Logo recess in which so perfectly laid a finger, now also made of aluminum and is located above the lower end. This means that the finger in it lies not so obvious. Although due to the increase in the hollows size makes it more convenient. Well, maybe it’s a matter of habit.

Overall, the new Moto X 2014 is very nice in the hand. By assembling at first sight there can be no complaints. Though the body and not monolithic, but it felt as such.

Lows – Moto X 2014

Just wanted to point out a few cons that caught my eye. Firstly, my test sample is made of dark gray and black plastic. And this stuff just insanely brand. Prints can be seen clearly on it and there are literally at the first touch even just clean hands. At the same time they scour very, very difficult. So if you want to take this unit yourself, probably, more exotic forms of wood or leather would be more beneficial in this regard.

Another minus also belongs to the category of practicality. Speaker mesh on the front panel in the form of bulging lattices. Due to the fact that they protrude from the body, as well as through the corrugated surface mesh quickly clogged with dust, and clean it out even when folded than scrub fingerprints.

The main drawback was the behavior of a smartphone with mobile networks. Frankly, such an interesting bug I’ve never met, and judging by the fact that I really could not do, there are not so many people who would like to come across. The meaning of the bug is that mobile network works only when the microUSB connector was plugged the power cord. In the course of my experiments it was found out that the food was not mandatory element. It was enough to insert cable (even to nothing connected) – and the network appeared. Once the cable is removed, the network is lost. In this case, all the neighboring phones, including with the same Simcoe, everything was fine.

Honestly, I even thought that I had a defective unit and all that, but the morning after a night out on the charge, Moto X 2014 suddenly decided that you can now stop wag my nerves and even a little catch mobile network. So far, it works, but how long it will last is unknown.

Software – Moto X 2014

So far, I have not arrived yet an official update to Android 5.0 Lollipop, but also to everything works very quickly. However, it can be said of almost any smartphone while it is new. Conclusions can be made only when it will be some time in the relatively harsh operating conditions. Android but clean with good speed – this is definitely a plus.

Result – Moto X 2014

As a result, the first impressions of Moto X 2014 I still have very positive. And it is for most people, they are very important, as it is often because a person decides to buy. And since go to the store and try out a novelty to many is not available, then, I hope you were able to learn for himself something useful.

It should be noted that the size, though significantly increased, but there is not as much as it could. The thin aluminum frame really adds comfort and notorious “premium.” But these material back panels may be unsuccessful, as in my case. Matte plastic in black looks interesting, and, besides, he is very much collects fingerprints. So even if you cannot use the service Moto marker, better to look for wood, leather, or in extreme cases, the plastic of a different color, on which fingerprints are not as noticeable.

Strongly spoiled impression bug with the mobile network, but let’s hope that this is some unique case. At least on the web I could not find anything like it.

A complete Moto X 2014 review of all the details and operating experience wait on our website very soon.
