#X MOTO MOBILE 720P#
In our tests, battery capacity fell at a rate of 8.9% while playing a 720p video in flight mode, and brightness set as close to 120cd/m2 as we could get it. Call quality is beyond reproach, too.Īlas, it’s back to disappointment with battery life, which is considerably less impressive than other smartphones in its category. They reach loud volumes without distorting and are perfect for listening to radio and podcasts alike. The front-facing stereo speakers are much more impressive. Only the dual LED flash impresses, casting an even, flattering light over your indoor portrait and group photos. It’s well behind the iPhone 6, Sony Xperia Z3 Compact and Samsung Galaxy S5 for overall quality. We found the autofocus struggled to lock on much of the time, resulting in fuzzy photographs.Īnd in tricky conditions, where HDR comes in useful – a dark foreground against a bright sky, for example – photographs exhibited an obvious glow around high-contrast edges. In low light, both video and photos are grainy and lacking in detail. It should be good alas, it’s the most disappointing aspect of the new Moto X. The camera also receives an upgrade, up from 10 megapixels to 13 megapixels, and from an aperture of f/2.4 to a wider one of f/2.25. If anything it’s slightly quicker, and it certainly feels slick and responsive: in everyday use, we never found we were desperate for more power. That combination delivers Samsung Galaxy S5-rivalling levels of performance, with scores of 979 and 2,902 in Geekbench 3’s single- and multi-core tests and 29.5fps in the GFXBench T-Tex HD test. You get a quad-core 2.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 SoC with Adreno 330 graphics. Motorola Moto X (2nd Gen) review: specification, performance and featuresĪs far as smart features and design goes, the Moto X 2014 has most other handsets well-beaten, then, but how about its specification and performance?Īs you’d expect, the hardware is quick. Currently, the standard Moto X 2014 (16GB) can be had for around £420 inc VAT those customised with plain colours are the same price and it’s only if you want custom leather or wood finishes that the price climbs to £440 inc VAT. With plain colours, wood and leather finishes for each part to choose from, there are thousands of potential combinations, and the good news is that it doesn’t need to cost much more. Moto Maker allows you to customise the colour and finish of the phone, and not just the front and rear panels: you can also jazz up the the ring around the logo, the speaker inserts on the front, and even have the phone engraved. But it’s the arrival of Motorola’s Moto Maker service that really interests us. Motorola Moto X (2nd Gen.) review: Moto MakerĪs standard, the Moto X (2nd Gen) will be offered in three flavours: black, leather and bamboo – that’s real bamboo, not a printed finish – and all look and feel fabulous.
