The (maybe) "Epic" Motorola X Pre-Release Thread

It is always listening(at you, Chief! ) and flick your wrist twice to turn on the camera. Also, no more notification light.

Here she is, people, on video..

I thought the S4 was quad core?

Nope, she's a duece.

PS fixed your link.

PPS - By S4, I mean the Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor, not the abbreviation becoming increasingly popular for the SGS4.

Whoa whoa whoa.

Check out the buttons.

What the...

What the...

They look like the do on the N7, power on top right, volume rocker below it. Unless I'm missing something. Or were you referring to the soft buttons on the screen?:hmmmm2:

Bummer no notification LED but I like the icon notification in the center of the unlock circle.

Soft buttons.

Up until now the leaked pictures have been showing capacitive buttons.

I'm kinda starting to like the Moto X again but, I'm still waiting for more info on the Ultra/Maxx.

Will it have SD card support?

Will it have SD card support?

The screen shot confirming storage used CPU-Z.

It's evidently incapable of showing that information. I just tried it on mine, no soap.

Knowing Google, I rather doubt it but I could be wrong. :dontknow:

Will the features like "always on" voice control be open source?

And will you be able to turn it off?

 

[funkylogik]

Yeah lol it could cause embarrasing problems. And surely itl eat battery?

I'd have to think so. How much, we'll see, yeah?

Wasnt there supposed to be a google press event on 11th? What was that for?

 

[The_Chief]

WHEW! Well, I asked for thoughts and boy did I get 'em!

Very valid points all. Do we NEED quad or octa-core? Nope. I don't need 3 GB of RAM, although 2 would be nice. Nor do I need 13 MP camera: I'm not making billboards here. I DO, however, desperately need at least 32GB memory. My Nexus hovers somewhere between 7-10GB free, and I work to keep it that high. If I didn't, I'd run out of room in a hurry. And I love the soft keys.

If the Moto X comes with a card slot capable of at least 64GB, I may bite. I'll have to test drive it when it comes out

Well Chief, you got the soft buttons there now and the Verizon GNex was an exception at 32 GB so that could happen again for all we know.

 

[EarlyMon]

Posts from Rogers on the Moto X have been subjected to a copyright claim, we're talking them down until the matter is resolved.

Thanks for your patience.

I'll update you as soon as I can on all that.

Whelp, if the G2 fails to launch on Verizon (and I highly doubt VZW will carry the Nexus 5), then my choices are thinning out fast

I sure hope the Verizon version is either 32GB or expandable. TAKE MY MONEY!


EDIT: Wait, wait wait...

I'm seeing reports all over the place that Nexus 5 WILL be on Verizon Q3 2013. That said, I might be very premature in jumping on the Moto X...

My Nexus can hold out until Q3, but what if its launch turns into the taffy pull that the Galaxy Nexus launch was? AAAUUUGHHHH!
