Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I'm someone who is not easily impressed by phones. I've been using Android since 2.1 and have had over 10 Android phones to date. The problem with Android up to this year was the fact that it wasn't as stable and smooth as it should have been. A lot of that is caused by manufacturers' custom UI's, which is why before I bought this phone, the Galaxy Nexus running stock Android was the phone I kept coming back to. The Moto X has taken what I loved about the Galaxy Nexus (stock Android, comfortable hardware, Amoled screen) and made it 50 times better. For starters, this is hands down the best made non-metal phone on the market. How Motorola packed a 4.7" screen into a chassis this tight and petite is a mystery to me. They should be investigated for witchcraft. The screen, while only 720p, looks incredible. I held it next to my roommate's HTC One, and I could barely tell the difference in resolution. Everything looks vibrant and sharp. The ULTRA small side bezels are also a great factor. This phone seems to be getting a lot of bad rep by ignorant internet people for only having a dual-core processor in a day and age in which quad-core are becoming standard in this price bracket. Power is not an issue with this phone. Stock Android runs very light and I will very VERY rarely get a small hiccup (the most common are when I press the lock twice rapidly; the screen takes an extra second or two to come alive and reveal its beauty). It has 2 additional cores for contextual computing and language processing, so it's not your traditional dual-core phone. It's very powerful and requires less energy to run, improving battery life. If you have a problem with performance from this phone, you're doing too much for your own good. It's a beast. Active display is SUPER useful and is one of the coolest, most useful and innovative features in a smart phone to date. I honestly couldn't imagine using a smartphone without it now. The battery is also very good; it gets me through a full day's use with ease. My only gripes are that the camera's low-light performance isn't the greatest (which should be fixed in an upcoming software update) and that it only has 16gb of internal storage (I would assume to keep costs down). In short, amazing hardware, awesome software, and a beautiful screen add up to one awesome device. You' be remiss not to consider it. The fact that I've been using it for 2 months and am still perfectly happy and have absolutely no desire to ever change should be reason enough to buy it.
