So you can't see the pixels on the Moto X.) (Recall what Steve Jobs said: "the magic number for a retina display is about 300 PPI for a device held 10 to 12in from the eye". The Moto X's screen has a lower pixel-density than the iPhone 5S (326ppi) and significantly less than the 445ppi screens of the Nexus 5 and Samsung Galaxy S4 – but the difference is not appreciable during normal use. Images and video look vibrant, with great contrast. The 4.7in 720p HD AMOLED screen has a density of 316 pixels per inch (ppi) making text look crisp. Motorola said these might come to the UK in the near future. It is for sale in the UK in two colours, black and white, but it is available in a myriad of colours and customisation options in the US. (For comparison, a pound coin weighs 9.5g.)Īt the thickest point it's 10.4mm thick – more than the majority of the competition including the iPhone 5S (7.6mm), Samsung Galaxy S4 (7.9mm) and Google Nexus 5 (8.6mm). With its non-removable back and integrated battery, the Moto X weighs the same 130g as the slightly larger Google Nexus 5 and Samsung Galaxy S4, and is 18g heavier than the smaller iPhone 5S. It's solidly built and has a quality feel, despite its plastic construction. Its curved back bucks the flat-backed trend of most high-end smartphones such as the iPhone 5S or Sony Xperia Z1.Īs a result, the phone fits well in the hand, with the back providing a reassuring grip so that the smartphone won't fly out of your fingers like a wet bar of soap. The Motorola Moto X follows the design language shown first by the Moto G in the UK. Motorola says it spent several months fine-tuning the Moto X's speech recognition to handle the varied accents around the UK – an important point if it is to function, as Andrew Morley, director of Motorola UK stressed, so you "really can use it without your hands, through the natural communications medium of voice." It was originally touted as the "self-driving" smartphone, due to its ability to respond to the keywords "OK Google Now" triggering searches, controlling music and making calls even while the screen is off. The Moto X was originally launched solely in the US in August 2013, and has taken almost six months to reach the UK.
