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.

My local Verizon store is preparing to put them out for demo. Store clerk pulled them out the back to show me. All 3 look nice...the cloth looking back looked the best in person to me followed by the red and the standard one.
turned on
Can't wait to see it in all its glory once they're setup and ready to go.
You guys won't be disappointed

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]

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.

I couldn't resist the lure of the Nexus 5. I bought the red one and a clear bumper case, and I'm ready to rock and roll. The moto g has been great for the short time I've used it, but I always really wanted the nexus 5. I'm going to be selling the G on swappa or craigslist as soon as my N5 is delivered. Take care and have fun guys, off to the Nexus 5 section of xda.

Man good luck.. But I have heard that nexus 5 have battery issues. Still have a thought over it. My moto g gives battery backup of more than 1.5 days with little use ... and with heavy use its 10 hours... Still best.

To me, the Nexus 5 is a very nice phone. I ended up with the Moto G and I'm happy with it. The cost difference is what made the final decision for me but the N5 ended up 2nd on my list of all the phones I considered. I know you'll enjoy it.
Yeah actually I was even planning to buy nexus 5... But cost turned me towards moto g... With some compromise.

I was in the same boat. Ultimately, the cost/benefit analysis of the MotoG vs. N5 swayed in favor of the MotoG. The better battery life and physical size/form factor combined with price outweighed what I'd be giving up by not choosing the N5 -- LTE, bigger screen (which is a negative for me), and NFC.

To each their own. That's why they make a million kind of phones. Sometimes you are just drawn towards something and can't resist. The N5 was that for me. I actually really like the Moto G and it does everything I need. But, MUST HAVE NEXUS 5. I'm not gonna fight it any more. In the end, it's what makes us happy. Sometimes cost/benefit equations don't always win. Who says you always need to be logical?

Oh, I completely understand. I LOVE the Nexus 5. It would be, no question, my phone after the MotoG. It just boiled down to the fact that I have smaller hands, and I'm rarely away from WiFi for very long so the lack of LTE isn't a big issue especially since T-Mobile's HSPA+ speeds are more than adequate for me. But..yeah...nothing against the N5 -- it's an amazing device! Enjoy your new baby!

I consider it the best. Who cares if the htc one is a few mhz faster. You won't notice any difference in real world usage. Why would say it's not the best? It's a matter of opinion. Even if I had millions of dollars, the N5 would be my phone of choice. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

Congrats on your n5 :thumbup: I think it's the sexiest phone out there! And I totally agree with what you said about real life usage, even s4 is much better than moto g on paper but it turns out there's no difference in performance (at least not relevant) :beer:

make sure to include the words "in my opinion", if you don't want people correcting you buddy. No expandable storage,non-removable battery, average camera,no 4k video recording, below average battery life... that's your best smartphone. It's good for the price tag if one can live with the above mentioned shortcomings.
I got em both and for some reason I find the moto g way more convenient to use, especially the battery life is almost double of the N5.
Anyway, you can't go wrong by going for the N5. gl.
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.

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

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.

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?

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.

The battery is by FAR the most disappointing feature.
Since you can't write to SD now anyways...it doesn't matter to me. Anyone else ready to ditch Samsung? Good chance the boot loader on a new Motorola won't be totally locked down like our N4 is. It's a super Moto X basically.
I would miss the removable battery and S pen too much. Also I'm not crazy about the screen size of the turbo

I'll wait for reviews to make a final judgement, but there is a very low chance the turbos camera is better then the note 4. None of the moto devices are known for their camera. Even the new moto x is weak still in that department.

The bootlader on the droid turbo will be locked down tighter than fort Knox. So don't expect to be rooting or flashing Roms on it. I do like the form factor and the materials they use. I also like the specs they included. For me the only gripes I have is the camera, I heard it was OK.

Why would they lock the boatloader down? Unlike Samsung, they aren't pitching phones to corporate America. Motorola's been fairly open recently with the Moto X too. Their forum already has a system dump waiting for Devs...
Also...the UI Motorola has been going with is waaaay better than TW

Why would they lock the boatloader down? Unlike Samsung, they aren't pitching phones to corporate America. Motorola's been fairly open recently with the Moto X too. They're forum already has a system dump waiting for Devs...

Trust me, I'm coming from a original Moto X and ive had my fair share of droid brand devices. The bootloader is not unlocking any time soon. Maybe someone will find a root exploit but that's about it.

I am looking to pickup either the Note 4 for Turbo for the wife. She doesn't need/want the S-Pen. She wants a phone that's fast, easy to use and provides great pics even in low lights. She doesn't know what she wants and is not a tech person at all lol. Which phone do you think will have the better camera?

I think this one uses the same 21mp camera / sensor as the Z3

The only reason I could think of is to help promote the N6 as being the only unlocked and truly customizable stock phone on VZW. VZW could make them have it locked from factory as well. We will see on Thursday when it is released.
Picked this up from a recent link about the announcement of the turbo.

Shoot. Guess we'll see in 2 days. I have my N4 but nothing about it endears me like my old Note 2 did.

Exactly. The turbo is very enticing. If root doesn't happen in the next couple of days for the note 4. Then I will definitely get the turbo using my exchange period from Verizon.

I do like the screen size but that 3900mAH battery sounds good. I'd be set for days

The 3900 nah battery sounds nice but nothing beats being able to swap batteries. The spare battery charging system is like the greatest accessory ever

I suppose... I usually was OK getting home on 10%. I work outside and to truly not have to worry about batteries at all would be sweet. This phone does well but it negates the screen when I have to crank the brightness down to nothing to make it to 10% at the end of the day
The Note 4 is a great device, and the battery is pretty good. But I find myself having to adjust frequently to save battery life were I can. With the turbo I don't think that would be the case. Plus it charges incredibly fast.

Since you can't write to SD now anyways...it doesn't matter to me. Anyone else ready to ditch Samsung? Good chance the boot loader on a new Motorola won't be totally locked down like our N4 is. It's a super Moto X basically.

What do you mean "can't write on SD" ? You're talking about can't write anything onto external mirco SD card? I have a 32gb and everything works just fine...or maybe I'm not understanding you?

You can save pictures and stuff but my apps won't write to the SD.
I'm feeling the same, I'm still thinking about it

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.
