But don’t be fooled, the dual arrangement gives off the illusion of stereo speakers ala HTC One (M8), but they’re not (you can buy a Moto G (2014) if you want stereo speakers). There are two ribbed stripes that sit along the top and bottom bezel the top one the ear receiver and the bottom is a front-facing speaker. If you’ve ever used a Galaxy S3, you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about. The front display facade is a thing of beauty as well, tapering to the edges and creating a gentler, rounder edge that feels great to the touch. Moving over to the bottom is a lone Micro USB port. On the right side is a small stripe-textured home button and below it a volume rocker. It size is something you’ll have to get used to if you want a larger display. The devices overall size is rather massive, and it’s still impossible to use with one hand comfortably, but it is one of the better “phablet-sized” devices out there. Centered up to is the 3.5mm headphone jack and to its left is the nano SIM card slot. Together the design is still undeniably the Moto X, only not as cheap-feeling.
The Moto X (2014) has a metal frame with antenna breaks along it. Plastic is now out of style and big display is in. The front display panel and sides were plastic, the buttons metal, and the rear back a soft matter rubber texture with just enough grip. In sculpting the Moto X (2013), Motorola was after a form factor that fit comfortably in your hand, with a screen size that wasn’t too small or too large. The Moto X (2013) may not have been made from aluminum or another type of metal, but its design was one of the best. I’m a gamer, but don’t play too many mobile games, unless I’m on a long train or bus ride. The amount of time I use my smartphone for actual voice calls has decreased over the years, but I still log in about an hour total in a week. I consider myself a power user I use my smartphone for lots of email, messaging via various apps, checking Facebook and Twitter, browsing the web and taking lots of photos for posting to Instagram. ContextĮverybody uses their smartphone differently.
