Motorola Moto X

For some time now, the American company Motorola stopped selling its devices in Spain . It was not until the time of the acquisition by Google that the firm has brought some interesting terminals to our country. The first was the Motorola Moto G . The second is called Motorola Moto X and is already available in Spain . This new model is part of an upper-middle range thanks to its large 4.7-inch screen with HD resolution (1280 x 720 pixels) and a Qualcomm Snapdragon Pro processor.dual-core, capable of operating at a clock frequency of 1.7 GHz. But this is not all. And is that the Motorola Moto X that users will find on the market has a good 10 megapixel camera integrated and is perfectly equipped for connectivity.

In fact, we are facing a terminal perfectly equipped for 4G / LTE networks , so that users can connect and enjoy a much more agile navigation. It incorporates a high capacity battery (2,200 milliamps) that promises a range of up to 13 hours of conversation.

Design and display

The design of the Motorola Moto X is one of its strengths. And it is that the terminal is presented with a wide assortment of interchangeable covers in different colors. Too bad this option is only available in the United States . At least for now. Users who decide to purchase this equipment in Spain will have to settle for two basic colors: black and white . In any case, we can indicate that the equipment has dimensions of 129.4 x 65.3 x 5.7 mm , although the terminal be a curved shape, there is a portion that varies in thickness up to 11.6 mm. This format makes the phone have a much more ergonomic format and that it fits perfectly in the hand.

And we continue with another fundamental element: the screen. The Motorola Moto X integrates a panel AMOLED RGB with dimensions of 4.7 inches (diagonal) and a HD resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels which result suitable for displaying high definition content. To this must be added a density of 312 dots per inch (dpi) and a density of 16 million colors. Like its companion, the Motorola Moto G , it incorporates a Corning Gorilla Glass protective layer. It is a glass that will protect the main panel from bumps and scratches and that will help you keep the front surface of the equipment intact for longer.

Camera

Another fundamental component is, without a doubt, the camera. This would be a 10 megapixel sensor (equipped with technology Clear Pixel ) that would complement its functions with other basic tools. We refer, of course, to the LED Flash (to illuminate scenes that are too dark), automatic focus, four-fold digital zoom, burst shooting (to take several photos in a single press), HDR, Panoramic and the ability to record FullHD videos @ 30fps . Users who choose to record video with this phone will be able to enjoy the slow motion video function. Finally, the technical sheet reveals a second camera(In fact, you will see it on the front of the phone) that has a two megapixel sensor and that will come in handy when capturing self-portraits or making video calls.

Memory and power

The Motorola Moto X works through a dual-core processor. It is a Qualcomm Snapdragon Pro that runs at a clock frequency of 1.7 Ghz (Krait) and that combines all its potential with 1 GB of RAM , a somewhat discreet capacity, but enough if we consider that we are facing a piece mid-range. This means that users will be able to run all kinds of graphics- intensive applications, utilities, and games without any problem . To all this, we have to indicate that the Motorola Moto X will arrive in our country in two different capacities: 16 or 32 GBthat unfortunately we will not be able to expand with microSD memory cards. In fact, Google makes available to these users up to 50 GB of free internal storage for two years on  Google Drive .

Operating system and applications

The Motorola Moto X will hit the market equipped with Android 4.2.2 (Jelly Bean) . We are not facing a recent edition, but the truth is that as it is a phone integrated into the Google ecosystem , a prompt update to Android 4.4 KitKat is expected , the latest version released by the Mountain View company . This means that apart from having the latest most interesting news, the Motorola Moto X will have all the applications and services that Google offers its customers installed for free. We refer to the following: Google Search, Google Maps, Navigation, Hangouts, YouTube orGoogle Plus , among others. In fact, users can also connect directly to Google Play , the gateway to the vast universe of applications, content and video games that Google makes available to its general public.

This means that the user will be able to enjoy excellent connectivity through 4G / LTE networks , a technology that promises much higher transfer speeds than through 3G . However, users who are not in a coverage area will continue browsing with higher transfer rates (HSDPA, 42 Mbps) and will have the opportunity to access the wireless technology WiFi 802.11 a / b / g / n / ac to enjoy a more stable connection, without interruptions, which also helps them save on their contracted data rate.
