In reality, I am ready to pay till $299 for 16 GB (which is the price point for Nexus 4, 8 GB), unless the hands on reviews reveals some surprises. | |

Google is not making any money by selling Nexus devices, Motorola can't afford to do that. | |

| ![]() Disappointed with Motorola, twice in 2 weeks. First, they launch the Droid Mini with no expandable memory and no 32 GB option and then they launch the Moto-X at a high price. |

Don't get me wrong here, I'm equally disappointed with it's high pricing. Expecting Motorola phones to be priced at Nexus level is not going to happen. Moto X may come down in pricing a bit, but not like Nexus 4. Another thing that adds to Moto X pricing is that it's assembled in USA. Of course we don't give a crap about it, but there are people in US who are going to buy this phone just for this reason. I was also looking forward to Moto X to upgrade my Xperia Neo V. And some part of me still hopes that they release an unlocked Moto X on Google Play Store for $350 to $399. Now I'm waiting for next Nexus. Edit: BTW Motorola is a Google company, they are not Google themselves. There is a difference. Motorola LLC is still a separate company and they have a completely separate executive board and a CEO. So they still function as a separate company with funding from Google. Their CEO did announce that rest of the world won't be getting this Moto X, but a cheaper version (probably assembled in China). He also mentioned that Moto X is not just a product, it's a brand. So we will see more phones in this line. Last edited by Gandhi : 3rd August 2013 at 11:14. | |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Was doing cleanup on my phone yesterday, deleted Facebook. Before removing the RAM hovered around 80-100 MB free. Now it runs at 150-170 MB free! Gained ~60-70 MB straight away! ![]() How much does it take for a massive company like Facebook to develop a good Android app? ![]() |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() +1 to that. What I do now is freeze FB and its extensions when not needed and defrost them if at all needed. This has made my SE LWW super smooth. Last edited by smrtdvl : 3rd August 2013 at 16:12. |

| ![]() Talking about Motorola, it is nice to see to see the new Droid line. The Droid Mini looks like a perfect phone (except the gloss). http://www.droid-life.com/2013/08/02...vs-droid-mini/ BTW: I am considering a 3 month old Razr Maxx HD for around 21-22K. But with the new Droid series, I am in two minds. |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Here's a must watch video on Moto X. Also, follow MKBHD if you're not already, that's a must too. |

Overall Its a mainstream phone and can do most everyday tasks with aplomb.However, in the present day, the market is flooded with phones of rival brands offering same/better specs at similar price point. See the XOLO play/UMI X2 too as I found these phones to have a better overall package than the A116. | |

| ![]() Any opinions on the Wicked Leak Wammy Passion Z+ ? The specs look terrific for its price - 1.5GHz Quad core CPU, 1920 X 1080 5" IPS display, 2500 maH battery, Jellybean 4.2.2, and the usual additional paraphernelia like AGPS, dual Cameras etc, and all for under 16K !! The only negative I saw was slightly lower (4GB) internal memory, but then it is expandable to 64GB with an SD card. http://www.wickedleak.org/218-wammy-passion-z-.html Last edited by kala : 5th August 2013 at 15:05. |
