Moto X review (2014): from also-ran to amazing in one year
The 2014 Moto X is a huge step forward from last year's model, and it's finally equipped to compete with a sea of strong competitors. With an impressive (not to mention customizable) design and some thoughtful software features, this is the flagship phone that Motorola should have made in the first place.
Pros
- Runs near-stock Android
- Motorola's additional features are smart and useful
- Snappy performance
- Thoughtful, comfortable design
- Lots of customization options
Cons
- Cameras are average at best and frustrating at worst
- Unremarkable battery life
- Some carrier bloatware
