Motorola Moto X - first look

Typically, the “first sight” describes some common experience that nevertheless do not differ from full review. Roughly speaking, this is a kind of ” mini-review ” without the pretense of objectivity of data and estimates. Yesterday I was able to look at raspiarenny ( including me ) Moto X, all the more so to smart phones of this brand I am very warm , rather than to all the others , though, and in personal use was only one model , so the interest was warmed to “IKSU” from the outset . After the announcement of all , perhaps , depressed (I’m – I’m sure) , but as the other companies release their flagship my eyes more and more rushed to the new line of “motorola” and Chinese producers . In his ” first look “, I will not list any specifications , to talk about benchmarks – no, I will address only those aspects of the device , which I was pleasantly surprised and impressed .

Measurements

The main contribution of engineers working on Moto X, I personally believe that this is a smartphone with 4.7 -inch display (due to the on-screen buttons to control the actual work area , except for the films “by eye” is approximately 4.5 inches ), which, fact, to fit in the body 4.3″ device.

And the sheer size of the beaten very interesting, the phone is not perceived either thick ( because of the very well- curved back cover ) or more and, interestingly , he also does not look small! In many ways, this is undoubtedly the merit of the display is just not really fit in the head at a subconscious level, because of that and it seems that it is ” common smart phone .” 

The reality is that the Moto X is almost identical to my personal Xiaomi Mi2S and notorious Samsung Galaxy S2.

 

Housing

I confess frankly , reviews of a particular device does not read – runs through the eyes only on the main points , without going into detail (though not overlooked it in Western publications just lazy ) , nor watched the video . Somehow it was not up to it , so I was very surprised the rear panel of the “standard ” version , in my case – black. The fact that the photographs body looked as if it was made of rough textured ” ribbed ” plastic, but in practice it turned out to be soft, slightly rubberized surface. Feels like – softer Kevlar in my DROID RAZR MAXX HD, but harder than the usual soft-touch plastic.

Postpaid same no no at all, it’s just a picture, nothing more. Feeling, in general, interesting and unusual, and even supported a smooth transition to the front of the side faces, the present tactile pleasure for fingers.

 

Display

Over time, the use of their “Samsung” , which included models such as the Galaxy S2, S3, S4, Note, Nexus, Tab 7.7, but also a range of devices from other manufacturers that use the same type of displays, I was ” tired ” of AMOLED matrices. Despite the fact that in my review I pointed out that the RAZR MAXX HD, even in spite of PenTile, display better than the competition because of the color , with the announcement of the Moto X I sighed sadly , because I wanted to “correct » IPS, something like that what we see in some HTC One.

Theme color , ladies and gentlemen , it works. In Moto X similar to that in the Note 2 pixel structure , but the panel itself is much better as calibrated. Of course, all I am saying only about , but the white dot close to unshakable 6500K, that personally makes me happy , I love the “warm” displays. Summarizing, we can say that the eye due to leaking nuclear colors has not occurred, although he super -contrast display . Check the behavior of the sun was not yet possible , with the viewing angles are all in good order , the display ” sinit ” only in cases of extreme deviation vertically on virtually all 180 degrees. So use your device will not be one for sure.

 

Others

Just a few more additions. The smartphone is fast, really fast. Quickly launch applications , works fast in them, smooth animation of scrolling of everything – no complaints there , contrary to what is used is not the most top-end CPU. Speaking of it, because all these dances with a tambourine around X8 Mobile Computing System were due to its low power consumption for continuous listening person. This function is disabled if desired (and for the good of our country it is not very much) , the Russian language is not recognized, but much more interesting “binding” to the voice of the owner, no matter how I tried to cheat the system , Moto X and did not lift a finger to somehow I react, while the voice of the owner responded instantly, like a good and faithful pei. 

By cunning move brush to quickly start the camera to get used to, but then this function works like a clock , an alarm immediately and really every time. Moreover, as I have said, is a fast smartphone , and this applies to all of its aspects , including the response to this motion . You can click on the power button to turn off the display and just immediately , yet not allowing the display goes off , forced to twist the brush – the camera application is started immediately . No delays here and on the response of the circuit “button” – “screen” inherent processor Exynos ( that’s if someone suddenly sick of it ) .

The main speaker is very loud and plays clean, although he could be pobasovitee. What I liked as much more – it’s easy to drown out the finger force, but it is not possible to somehow set off the sound, putting it on a particular surface, it features smooth lines of the body.

Spoken to check there was no time, so all this (and much more) will have to complete a survey that will be in about three weeks.
