Keep my X or go N5? - Moto X Q&A

I'm tempted by the unlocked BL and wireless charging. But I'm not sire how I will feel about loosing touch less and active notifications.
Anyone have both? And have advice?

I'm not losing touchless controls over anything no mo'.
Why would I give up setting alarm in the bed without getting up.

I've got both, and I haven't used my Moto X since I got the N5. Touchless Controls are nice, but with my job, I really can't use them much

Wireless Charging sucks. Its slow. I love how fast the Moto X charges. But seriously, the only bonus is that the Nexus is on 4.4.1 now instead of 4.4 to improve camera which is something Moto X has been dealing.

If moto wont allow me to unlock my bootloader, i will switch to N5 asap

I have both. I like the N5 but I LOVE the Moto X.

I've got both (and an iPhone 5s) and my vote is Moto X over Nexus 5, but mainly because I prefer it's form factor.

I got both and I usually use my X more than my nexus because of battery life. I don't root or anything just use as is.

Really curious on how your moto x gets better battery life. I've got a stock Moto x and it barely makes it through the day. My N5 battery easily lasts me into the wee hours
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I had both, and I sold my Nexus 5 to keep the Moto X. For me, one I couldn't deal with not having active notifications and the flip to camera gesture because I'm a big car guy and snap pics on the road a lot. Also, Verizon is by far the best coverage here. Also I found the Nexus 5 to be too big and awkward in my hand, and its the same software, and I don't find any reason to go CM anymore. Also I find the Nexus screen to look a little faded/washed vs the Moto X. I agree with the other guy that I also get better battery life from my Moto X. For me, the Nexus 5 is only better if you want CM, and prefer the bigger screen.

I currently have an S4. I have the Cyber Monday code but I'm torn between the Moto X and Nexus 5. One one hand, the Moto X brings innovation with customization and active notifications. However, i'm concerned about the smaller screen and even less of a usuable area with the on screen buttons. I love my S4's 5 inch 1080p screen.
What has me leaning towards Nexus 5 is the fact that i'm in the last few months of my Sprint contract. Where I live, the service is pretty damn good but i've been wanting to go back to T-Mobile to be on a GSM carrier and can use unlocked devices when I want. I could use the Nexus 5 on Sprint and just carry it over to T-Mo when my contract is up.
I don't have large hands and the ergonomics of the Moto X is another pro.
For me, it comes down to innovaton, customization, and an all-around solid phone vs Stock Android, fast updates, 1080p display and the ability to take it to my next carrier when i'm done with sprint. Hard to choose. My coupon expires on the 11th.

True. 4.4 killed my battery life. Moto needs to update their WiFi drivers.

Motorola is a much better manufacturer than LG. My nexus 5 had terrible battery life, a terrible speaker with terrible placement, and the design's just not that great. Sold it for my Moto X.

I use my phones regularly and most of the time use Bluetooth streaming while I'm driving in the field. For some reason the nexus 5 drains fast while I'm streaming Bluetooth.

I had the n5 and it had terrible battery life and build quality. Couldnt deal with the battery life, speaker and vibration(couldnt feel it in my pocket or hear it on my desk). However, I do miss the unlocked bootloader, larger screen and wireless charging but realized i need to be more worried about functionality when dropping $350.
I have the att x and purchased the tmobile version to unlock the bootloader. I can deal with the smaller screen and hopefully the qi receiver i purchased works.. so for me, its the moto x all the way.
How important is battery life to you? That was the major deciding factor for me.

I'm on T-Mobile and the Moto X gets signal everywhere! That was far from the case with the Nexus.

I had just over 4 hours of screen on time yesterday on my X when I plugged it in last night at midnight. I've never seen that much screen time on any phone I've ever owned. I'm running 4.4.

No disrespect, but you must have not owned many phones then. My last several phones have gotten me 5+ hours screen time so 4 hours seems pretty low to me.

Well guys how do you feel about it I was hoping either HTC or moto got it this year. With that said I really do love the nexus 4 design I just hope the next nexus wows me. But I also loved the galaxy nexus too.

Afraid of what CPU they'd put in it. If its Qualcomm, there might be problems with it being open with the Nexus 7 2013 fiasco with JBQ leaving AOSP etc.
I would think either a snap 800 or something like the moto x and the features become standard android in key lime. The funny thing is I hated leaving amoled now I dread going back.

Thats the thing, I want a Snapdragon 800 but I don't want it if the factory images aren't going to be released as well as the GPU drivers. Thats the reason why Nexus 7 still doesn't have factory images available (or binaries).

Its not a true Nexus device if those files are missing. Yeah... I really do like the IPS screen. I think they're going back to Super AMOLED if its amde by Motorola. Its a bummer that LG G2 isn't the base of the Nexus 5. LG screens are amazing.
Maybe a LG G2 Google Play Edition inbound?
I think I see what Google is doing the moto x will probably be almost free on contract by the time nexus 5 is out and new nexus will probably be rock solid design and since everyone is fine paying 600 dollars for Google play editions phones new nexus will probably be 499 or 450

Me too. There must be some prototypes already since there ain't so many months left for the proposed release. They can't just make up something in short period of time.
My money is on Motorola, sadly. They have now that thing going on with their manufacturing plants and everything so logistics and all would be so much easier in US.
Still, LG with G2 specs would have been much better choice.

No way we get two nexus phones and that doesn't make sense one phone to lead the direction of android. Seeing the moto x features and key lime pie around the way I this all makes sense. Now what probably will still do is sell the nexus 4 from lg and maybe 250 for a 16gb. Its not like nexus specs are even dated yet.

Qualcom hopefully release the drivers and follow lg nexus with the manufacture of five.

Which MOTO X feature is the most attractive to you?

Now we know that we cannot put our names on the back of the phone; nor can we upload the images we want and have it color our MOTO X (though the latter part was never the original concept...but should be . What makes you still want to buy MOTO X?
I just got mine this afternoon. After playing with it only for a couple of hours, I can say that once I get used to the touchless control, I will not be able to live without it. Just now I pick up my Nexus 4 and start talking to her with "Ok google now" and saw no response and getting frustrated
Active Notifications.
That is all.
everything about this phone other than its price and camera quality (which hopefully is resolved with an update much like the htc one)
Touchless Controls hands down.

I went to the store to play with the X and I was really impressed by the twisting the wrist motion to launch the camera. It was super easy and I have no idea why the reviewers found it so hard to launch it. I'd say I had a 100% success rate.
The problem, for me at least, is not how to launch the camera...but after launching the camera the quality of the photo is not good.
Personally I the touchless control is the winner for me, but active notifications comes in a very close second.
All are pretty ones!
Can we see it in Europe soon...

other than all tech details, I really like the idea of customizing the phone and making it truely unique
After actually using the phone, active notifications and the battery are great for usage. The motomaker is great when it comes to selling the phone.

Anyone come from moto x?

Been considering this after all the positive hype this phone is getting however I'm very iffy on the size. I had the note 2 for a while and even though I got used to it, it was certainly still big. Just wondering if it's worth its price off contact over the resale value of my moto x on swappa ($500ish)

the size of the note is the only thing that kills me. Its great when i take advantage of it, but its a beats to lug around when im on the move. Will take more than two days to decide if the size is good for me.

I was offered a trade for a 32gb Nexus 5 for my Note 3. I was wondering if anyone is also considering this. I am stuck between the two. The only thing thats keeping me from doing the trade is that the battery is awful on the Nexus 5. Just wanted some opinions on this. Thanks
Nope. U getting some extra cash (I mean 399 vs 650) cause straight trade doesn't make sense, might as well sell the note and buy a new nexus

Definitely not worth the trade... If you wanted to you can just buy one used in a month for probably less than 300 and have both phones
agree with everyone here. just read all the reviews on both everywhere if you're still unsure. note 3 is still the best phone on the market. i was in your shoes too deliberating between the two and picked the note 3; very glad i did.
I'm sold on the Nexus 5 after I persuaded my coworker to get one, but I wouldn't even consider trading my note 3 for it.
The truth is I'm having some awful luck with my note. I'm on my 2cd device and I can't seem to stay connected to a wifi network. Plus the home button on both went from perfectly pushable to a sunk in button I have to mash with my fingernail. Sammy definitely didn't hit a home run as far as build quality imho.

This thread is all kinds of wrong. First the Note 3 is worth a considerable amount more than a Nexus 5. Second, this phone beats it in some important categories including screen, battery life and features.
And last but not least, stock Android blows. Especially the latest version with those big and ugly icons. Stock Android is super boring to me and too light on features.
Just my opinion but don't do it.

Battery life on the Nexus 5 compared to the Note 3, is night and day. The N5 can't even last a day, not even close.
And I still love the deep Plasma blacks, and vibrant colors of AMOLED screens, I've seen the N5 in store, and it looks washed out in comparison.
Plus more RAM on the Note 3.

Making a phone with that small of a battery is like putting a 3 gallon gas tank on a car...almost not usable. 3,500-4,000 mah should be the standard on phones these days. You would be very disappointed with the trade.

Erica Griffin from YouTube did a mini review of the Nexus 5 and she was only about 3:30 uptime, 2:20 screen time and she was at 26% battery. It's a joke and even she was saying the same pretty much.
If you are a moderate to heavy user in any way, why would you even consider the Nexus 5?

General Question

So my Note 3 is 2 months old and I have decided it's just too damn big for normal use. Thinking about the Moto x. How is the camera on Kit Kat? And how is battery life? And how does the 720p screen really look? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

Screen is fine. Camera compared to the s4 is not good.
Sent from my XT1060 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
My opinion.... I've played with them all, and the Moto x is the most refined phone I've used. Yes, the camera isn't the best out there, but I'm of the opinion that it is a phone, not a camera. Its fine for capturing moments spur of the moment.... But if I know I'm going somewhere and want lots of nice pics..... I use my camera.
Opinions will vary. Greatly. Lol
Sent from my Moto X cell phone telephone.....
Battery life is good, unrooted with location services, voice controls all etc turned on I get 1 day+ with 3-4 hours of screen time. I also typically do an hour or two of music or bluetooth too.
Compared to Note3 the camera is not as good in many situations but its good enough to be happy with the pics I take of my kids and whatnot. I have a better digital camera but prefer the phone for convenience. The double wrist flick to launch the camera is genius and I use it often.
