This new, faster Moto X with a bigger screen turned up just as Mrs Technopolis was off to the US. Rather than incur insane roaming charges, she wanted to take the Moto with my US SIM, but I suggested this wonderful new version instead. That night, she cal...

Samsung may dominate the Android market today, but that wasn't always the case. For years, when it came to non-Apple smartphones, Motorola was the brand of choice. Through a successful partnership with Verizon, the manufacturer was responsible for the ico...

When the original Moto X launched it was clear Motorola wanted to take the smartphone game in a different direction. The focus was to be not on specs per se, rather on design ergonomics and intuitive controls. It ended up achieving what it set out to do r...

Personally I think the Moto X 2014 is quite a compelling handset. In terms of pricing it sits between the mid and high-end, although it varies depending on your choices. The basic 16GB resin-backed model costs £419 SIM-free (though some retailers are un...

It really wasn't that long ago that we were reviewing the original Moto X and loving it. Motorola has thankfully kept what we liked so much in the former and added in a few neat new tricks for this year's model.Design wise, the Moto X is more contain over...
Despite lacking a number of the headline features found in many of its rivals, the Moto X stands out as one of our favourite phones, right now. In fact, it may be because there is no fingerprint scanners and eye tracking technology that we like it so much...

Motorola was last to the table for 2014 flagship phones, with the handsets arriving mere weeks before the year ended. Now that 2015 is here, let's see what all the fuss is about with Motorola's all new Moto X.The second generation of Motorola's reinvented...

I've quite enjoyed reviewing the Moto X (2014). There are some devices that I really don't enjoy reviewing, and I'm a little embarrassed to admit these are devices I give to others to review. I can't do them justice. I like to think I can be impartial wit...

The first Moto X was a good phone, but its hardware was on the shaky side. Now Motorola has returned with a fix. It isn't flawless—the battery life is just okay and the screen colours aren't natural—but the 2014 Moto X is an easy recommend for anyone who...
