Whenever I've played with a Moto X I've thought to myself "this feels nice in my hand, but... it would feel better if it was just a little bigger."
A lot of the online community has been vocally disappointed about the increased size (some more intensely than others) despite many of the hands on impressions being quite positive.
I won't know for sure until its in my hands, but I'm happy about the increased size. I would have actually figured 5" to be the sweet spot, but I'm not troubled by the 5.2".
The only thing I'm genuinely disappointed by is the storage space options. I've had 16gb, and never again will I accept that. 32gb is the bottom end of what I'll accept. But you'd think Motorola would know I and many others would happily pay a premium for 64gb or 128gb. Even still, I'm fairly positive this will be my next phone.
The battery I'm less directly concerned about. Its smaller than I would like it to be, no doubt, but at the same time, I've heard Moto X owners complain about battery life a lot less than Samsung S4, HTC One (m7 at least) or iphone owners.
