It really depends what you're looking for in a phone. I feel like much of the specs in the upper end devices, are used to win a hardware war, where one cannot be won with software. I don't really need a 1080 display draining more battery, and I've watched as people deactivated cores, which seems counter to the purpose of buying a higher spec phone-- most of all, I've long stopped doing benchmark tests, and place much more emphasis on how the device feels and utilizes the advertised features, day-to-day (to that end, I'm not as wild about the GS4).
If the Moto X can prove that good and meaningful integration of software and hardware produces an A+ product, then I see much reason to be excited about it, even if it turns out it isn't the phone for me. Of course, the best idea is to wait and see (especially regarding the price), but I'm actually fine with many of the specs, and about the only thing I'd wish for, is a bigger battery, if that will even matter.
If it so much as accounts for the small list of shortcomings that I've had with my GN, I'll actually be happy. So yeah, bring on the hype...it's refreshing to see such a push, without trying to one-up in the hardware arena.
