If you believe the conspiracy theories that Motorola only ended up selling them in UK because they had a large stockpile of them in the US thanks to the higher spec and cheaper priced Nexus 5. The black version that I’ve been using is damn nice and I’m a sucker for a white phone, the potential for mass success in Europe was huge if they’d bothered with the different colours. It is a crying shame that Moto Maker didn’t ever make it to the UK. The back also houses the camera and the flash. In the hand the Moto X looks and feels miles better than the Moto G. The back of the Moto X made it for me, it’s a soft touch carbon fibre effect and it feels really nice, really really nice. Dotted around the Moto X are a few holes which are where microphones are positioned. The top edge has the headphone socket and the bottom edge has the charging socket. With the volume and power button on the right hand side. The layout of the Moto X is nice, intuitive and almost like a Nokia layout. Motorola have done a great job with the Moto X and the Moto G, they are both great looking phones that are a joy to use. Nano SIM makes it difficult for people like me to swap phones about.So let’s kick the review of with my good and bad points. Motorola have sent me a Moto X for a few weeks and as a Moto G and Nexus 5 owner I was interested to see quite how it shapes up as a 2014 flagship. Or maybe I won’t, the UK release wasn’t anywhere as near as colourful as the launch, with white and black being the only options. I’ll go for a white one, with a yellow back and orange accents. Fast forward eight months and us poor UK residents can finally get hold of a Moto X. Cast you mind back to 2013 Motorola announced the Moto X, resplendent in many different colours and accents with talk of tiny bezels and no need to have the latest and greatest spec.
