Is this device being labeled a "nexus like" experience? - Moto X Q&A

Just wondering what google is going to do as far as updates to this device? Is it just worth waiting for the nexus 5 smartphone?

I think that it'll get updates faster than most.
Depending on how well the X does we'll see about of these features in the nexus

Doesnt sound promising lol I'm just a bit confused as the google edition htc one, and sgs4 werent suppose to get the same time frame updates as the nexus devices. Was wondering where the moto x would fall into the mix.

The Moto X is NOT a nexus device nor was it supposed to be.

Can some one please tell me how exactly this is good news? That's like buying a car with small trunk space and weak transmission then the same car makers release the exact same car with more trunk space and stronger transmission. But here's the kicker: there's no recalls, so you bought the first car and now you're gonna spend money and but the better version of the SAME EXACT FREAKING CAR! Is there anyone else with common sense who gets what's going on or is XDA full of rich people that like throwing away money?

I want make a direct comment on this, but you're honestly not making much sense. That being said, I'll try my best:
People who bought the original Nexus 4 aren't also buying the new updated Nexus 4, it's more for the people who are on Verizon or Sprint, who are unable to use the Nexus 4 on that network. It's like releasing a European version of the car so that people in Europe can buy it, too, you know, with the steering wheel on the opposite side and fun stuff like that, keeping in line with the metaphor.
Not sure what you're referring to as the "weaker transmission" here either, but with regards to the "trunk space," no one was forced to buy the initial 16GB Nexus 4, as there was almost every other phone option out there with SD cards, etc. if you really cared about space. Plus, I feel most people like myself did know that a 32 GB Nexus was coming out months later during the I/O possibly, prior to buying the Nexus 4 as they did do this with the Galaxy Nexus as well.
I was under the impression that n4 already has lte you just have to activate it in the hidden menu or something like that.

Moto Nexus 5 is coming

Well guys how do you feel about it I was hoping either HTC or moto got it this year. With that said I really do love the nexus 4 design I just hope the next nexus wows me. But I also loved the galaxy nexus too.

Afraid of what CPU they'd put in it. If its Qualcomm, there might be problems with it being open with the Nexus 7 2013 fiasco with JBQ leaving AOSP etc.
I would think either a snap 800 or something like the moto x and the features become standard android in key lime. The funny thing is I hated leaving amoled now I dread going back.

Thats the thing, I want a Snapdragon 800 but I don't want it if the factory images aren't going to be released as well as the GPU drivers. Thats the reason why Nexus 7 still doesn't have factory images available (or binaries).
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...om-ever-being-published-jbq-strongly-implies/
Its not a true Nexus device if those files are missing. Yeah... I really do like the IPS screen. I think they're going back to Super AMOLED if its amde by Motorola. Its a bummer that LG G2 isn't the base of the Nexus 5. LG screens are amazing.
Maybe a LG G2 Google Play Edition inbound?
I think I see what Google is doing the moto x will probably be almost free on contract by the time nexus 5 is out and new nexus will probably be rock solid design and since everyone is fine paying 600 dollars for Google play editions phones new nexus will probably be 499 or 450

Title of this thread is wrong. If Motorola is making a Nexus phone it would be based on their 4 inch screens thus it would be the new Nexus 4 (not Nexus 5). I could see LG making a Nexus 5 based on the G2 and perhaps Motorola making a Nexus 4 based on the Moto X.

Me too. There must be some prototypes already since there ain't so many months left for the proposed release. They can't just make up something in short period of time.
My money is on Motorola, sadly. They have now that thing going on with their manufacturing plants and everything so logistics and all would be so much easier in US.
Still, LG with G2 specs would have been much better choice.

No way we get two nexus phones and that doesn't make sense one phone to lead the direction of android. Seeing the moto x features and key lime pie around the way I this all makes sense. Now what probably will still do is sell the nexus 4 from lg and maybe 250 for a 16gb. Its not like nexus specs are even dated yet.

Back to Nexus.

Yeah got pretty sick of my Galaxy S4 and it's mf3 update. Specs really don't matter to me as long as everything is stable. The only thing I'll really miss is the ir blaster. I debated on going to the htc one all the way up to the xperia z1. I'm just gonna wait. Can anyone recommend me some good roms? Something stable with features like Halo and Focal and all the good stuff? I know there's a lot and I'm late, but I'm sure there a lot of others looking for the same answers since google sold out of nexus 4s and theres a lot of new users. I should have mine tomorrow morning.

Well, HTC devices are very high quality, after you get past the carrier blocks to root, unlock bootloader, s-off and flash a custom rom, (aosp preferably because its always newer than sense).
But I'd rather get the updates first at the cost of a camera not being as good and ease of rooting.

I agree. HTC is my favorite when it comes to hardware. I've had the N1 and a One X+ from them.This is going to be my first LG. I know when Google works with companies on their Nexus phones they're usually top notch. My last one was a Galaxy Nexus and I was amazed by the build and it felt perfect in the hands. I can't wait to see how the Nexus 5 is.

Yes, I think you are right, but as we commented in another thread the other day (the sony nexus concept phone) there are some brands who could never work with google to make THE NEXUS. They can make google editions, as samsung and htc did, but the nexus, in my opinion, has to be a cheaper phone, so sony and htc should be out of this game...

True but the fact that it boasts about waterproof, build quality and parts, gaming controller instigation for Ps3 and PS4 it's almost like they know how to build a sturdy tablet. Nexus 7 just has a popular dad and a reliable company which makes it popular.

Honestly, even with the features on the Moto X, the HTC One is the better phone. If I had my upgrade today instead of two months ago, I would still go with the One. Just my opinion though. Go to a store and try out the Moto X. See which one you like more!

My wifi speeds are slower on my One than my S2. It's probably the metal but I don't think the iPhone has this problem. My speed test shows that I have 16 Mbps but the pages load as if I am getting 1 Mbps. Weird. Hopefully this is addressed in the 4.3 update if it's fixable

I switched from the moto from the One today. I switched because of the purple camera issue. 4.3 didn't fix it. I have to say I like it a lot more.
720p screen isn't bad at all, can't really tell. Its thinner than it seems in pictures. Runs really smooth. Cam is alright but havent taken any outdoor pics, just indoor so it may look better outside. The touchless controls and notifications aren't gimmicky, you'll use and like them. Moto assist is pretty good. The only thing I miss is the speakers in front.

Don't know why you would do this without trying to fix your ONE first... It's obviously a hardware issue, not software. You can do all those things on the ONE so technically it is a gimmick. You basically just downgraded.
Its the second one I've had with the issue. Just got tired of it. Doesn't feel like a downgrade at all. Only on a spec sheet comparison. Its not aluminum but built very nice, feels great.

No, actually. Active notifications alone are a god damned good reason to never go back to my One. It's life changing. Touch less controls are fantastic. AOSP + those two things, boot loader unlockable, rom interchangeability with all carrier, equally if not more smooth experience than the one plus better battery life, higher resolution camera, and the phone is repairable. My one will stay in my backpack as a backup phone, thanks.

Been considering this after all the positive hype this phone is getting however I'm very iffy on the size. I had the note 2 for a while and even though I got used to it, it was certainly still big. Just wondering if it's worth its price off contact over the resale value of my moto x on swappa ($500ish)

I don't disagree, I just don't think the note 3 is for me :-/

I came from the Moto X. The phone is definitely much bigger but I knew that coming into this so not a big deal. I habe pretty wiry hands (piano fingers) so I can do mostly everything with one hand. I thoroughly enjoy using the S Pen as well.

Im thinking about revisiting the Note 3 again, getting tired of the 3-3.5hrs screen time of the moto x and the Nexus 5 I dont believe will be much better due to it's small battery. Still feel the same about the decision over the moto x?

Have a g2 now and have to agree with you that it's not that impressive in my opinion.
I am seriously considering taking it back and getting the note 3. Just hope the dev's are able to get this bootloader stuff worked out.

The only reason I would go back to a g2 is of they release a nexus 5 port.

Rob was on the same boat as you man, Took me about 2 days to get adjusted to the size difference I was coming from a HTC one, but had a note 2 at one point for about 2 months before that. Love the display, and really loving the phone. Had the G2 for about 3 weeks, Scrossler is doing great work over there, rid of carrier IQ, plus they were able to bypass the bootloader only thing i miss

the size of the note is the only thing that kills me. Its great when i take advantage of it, but its a beats to lug around when im on the move. Will take more than two days to decide if the size is good for me.
