So can anyone confirm or deny this?
I don't believe I have any images to take a picture of now and compare with side by side.
If anyone has any to provide, please do so. :good:
i was wondering the exact same thing
Low light pictures have definitely improved in my opinion.

SO is the camera of the Moto X now at par with the competition like Nexus 5 or Galaxy S4 etc?

LOL that escalated quickly. I don't think it can get as good as that of s4 with just an S/W update. S4's hardware is also better.

S4.....no way !!!! S4 camera is amazing
But moto x camera update can fight with Nexus 5 camera for sure.
Btw...the moto x flash led is really really really enhanced.
^ Thanks guys..
I have experience with Nexus 5 but have never used a Moto X.
I am not looking for the best camera smartphone but Nexus 5 camera is good enuff for me.... I use my DSLR when I need better performance or quality.
So, its reassuring to know what Moto X camera is at par with N5..
I was confused whether to get a N5 or MotoX ,, I m more inclined towards the Moto
Hold on, isn't Nexus 5's camera pretty awful? After using the S4 for pretty long I can say it has an okay camera, a very good for a mobile phone's perspective though. S4 is leaps and bounds ahead of N5 right?
I think the Moto X sits in between them?
Looks like now we are close to N5. Neither Moto X or N5 are good in the camera department in my opinion, but then again both had to keep costs down not like the S4.
It looks to me like this update claims are valid. It doesn't make the camera a brand new one (for instance the moto x still has trouble with white balance, and two quick pictures of the same subject can have two different color temperatures), but it definitely shows improvements.

Having had both the Nexus5 and MotoX at the same time I have been asked to compare the two many times. The best way to describe them in comparison I've found is this:
The MotoX is a great value phone with minimal lag and amazing features that truly make a smartphone smart.
The Nexus5 is the smallest computer I've ever had with no lag whatsoever, very nice vibrant screen and when necessary it makes phone calls too.
Camera wise, I took multiple pictures with both phones back to back and in low light the Nexus always won. This was a few updates ago and now I only have the MotoX so I can't compare with 4.4.3... but like I said I only have the MotoX.
P.S. with the limited information we have on the X+1 it seems as though we might be getting the best of both worlds. Might be worth the wait.

Don't know about other places but in India, the N5 costs as much as the S4.
Moto X costs around 15-20% less.
About the camera of N5, I find it adequate for the purpose...it's not that good but will serve me fine.
I haven't seen the Moto X..And here in India, Motorola has a unique sales strategy where all their phones are available thru only one online retailer. SO, you can't go to a retail shop and try it.
I am inclined to buy the Moto X as long as the camera is decent .. I mean if it matches N5 in camera, that 'll be fine for me.
As per earlier reviews, it seems N5 camera is better than Moto X. So, I wanted to find out if the Moto X has improved after the updates and it now matches the N5 in camera.
Cheers.

I disagree about the N5 being able to make phone calls. I went through 11 Nexus 5's due to major issues with call quality. Build quality was poor too as 2 of my replacements had dead pixels. Also the SIM tray on some of them didn't sit flush against the body.
It's the main reason why I replaced it with the Moto X.
Camera wasn't great but neither is the one in the Moto X. They're both average.
Didn't have any build quality issues on my Nexus and I was day 1 order (most of whom did have issues). If I went through 11 phones for call quality I'd look into a different carrier cause the strength of the Motorola radios might be masking the fact that your carrier sucks.
Your post however did remind me that the screen on the Nexus was incredibly bright and didn't produce an actual black but more of a gray and the speaker was horrid... Still, smallest PC I've ever had and better that most tablets I've seen for my usage
Ordered the Moto X finally... waiting for it impatiently now

Well when it came out the S4 was way more expensive than the N5. I'm not surprised the price went down since the new S5 is out (plus in the US the S4 has a slower processor compared to the N5).
I'm checking right now on Amazon:
Samsung Galaxy S4 unlocked seems to average $425
Samsung Galaxy S4 Google Play edition (from the play store) $649
Nexus 5 straight from Google Play is $349
Moto X unlocked from amazon ~$315 while from the motorola website $400
The camera is decent on the Moto X. I'm a visual artist so I can tell you it's not gonna replace real cameras, but it's great for those family photos, events, outside landscapes. It takes a bit of time for it to adjust the colors to the correct light around you. You can wait a bit and snap a good pic or do it quickly and color correct it later. My roommate took amazing pictures of landscapes in Ecuador and she's technologically inept and knows nothing about waiting for the right picture. So I can assume with sunlight the camera works great.
It doesn't have any of the Samsung or LG gimmicks and auto functions. Which is fine for me since I like to shoot normal pic and edit them later.
I was thorn too because of the camera, but then I decided to get the moto X and I can tell you that there's so much more this phone does for me that I can definitely overlook the camera aspect. Plus I never really use my phone as my main camera, more like a backup in a pinch or to remember things so it worked out quite nicely.

You people are wrong, yet the galaxy s4 uses a 13mpx SONY RS sensor, lacks in low light conditions even further than moto X would, the omnivision sensor placed on moto x it's capable of shooting 2k-4k real videos, I think moto x camera need heavy efforts in development by lenovo in this case, they can achieve wide benefits from the clear pixel technology, some algorithms an improved camera app and a better image processing would put the moto X in the top of g
High end phones with great and no regrets cameras.

Good info
Hey guys,
Tomorrow I'll change my Optimus G for Moto X. ..
I wonder if you have any chronic problem in MotoX, eg optimus G has a camera of 13Mpx low image quality ...
So, is there any reason that someone did regret the Moto X?
Thank you! I hope to soon be with you ...
The X is awesome. The end.

The Optimus G was my previous phone before the MotoX.
The G is a great phone and performance wise is actually close to the MotoX. The MotoX's features make it a better user experience IMO. Motorola has done a great job of optimizing the hardware on the X.
You will will getting a slightly smaller and lighter phone. You also lose some screen real estate because of the on screen buttons on the X.
I had the 8 megapixel AT&T version of the G, so I never got to experience the 13 megapixel camera.
The only thing I miss about the G is the SD Card.
Here I am! With my X in the hands and mind! Tks

Hi everyone, I want to get rid of my HTC One due to its constant overheating (using stock 7.09.401.30 firmware and rom), the dreadful battery drain and the incredibly sh*tty camera (I have the purple camera problem). I'm not using any mods or custom kernels btw and I only occasionally play a light game and listen to about 30 mins of music. I can't really think of a good replacement. I would be looking for something with a DECENT camera, nothing insanely good or terrible. I would also be looking for something with a 2500+ mAh battery and one with processing power similar to the HTC One for around €300 (£220 or $340).
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thank you, but I want to steer clear from the Snapdragon 810 because of overheating and I've never heard of the Moto X Pure. Is it another name for the Moto X Style or Moto X Play?

Hi,
So I now have both of these phones and am wondering which I want to keep as my own.
32gb moto x 2014 for Verizon
Vs
16gb (+sd slot) brand new droid maxx 2
Seems like the camera is a bit better on the maxx, but less onboard storage. More Verizon bloat too.
I have the 2013 x now and like the near stock feel.
The maxx is slotted for 6.0 though....
Which to keep as my own?
Thoughts?

There are 6.0 FWs for the 2014 around, in fact I've been running one for two weeks. It's going to be officially updated soon, but I can say I'm never remembered that I'm running a beta given how flawless the experience already is.
It depends on how much of a heavy user you are, even though my X has been giving me surprising battery backup lately, compared to Lollipop which was a bit weak.
If you value stock feel and updates, plus that tiny little bit of genius that are the IR sensors, forget the Maxx.
But. Has anyone cracked the bootloader /root for Verizon moto x???

Aw ****, I hadn't read that we're talking about a VZW X My bad
Any Moto X 2nd Gen 2014 former user here?
I'd like to know how MI5's camera compares to Moto X's camera? Daylight shots are better for sure, but what about night or indoor shots?
i would like to see a compair with the moto z
No one, really?

Mostly because its an realy unfair comparation, then mi5 camera its Lightyears beyond the moto x, takr best agora even comparable to Xperia phones. The downside its the touch screen as I haver stated on another tread..
