Motorola Moto X (2014)

Anybody else got one? I got mine on Wednesday night. Very happy so far! I chose the walnut back with a black front and it looks great. The walnut looks a bit plastic but still nicer than most plastic phones I've seen.

What's the camera like (and any comparisons?)

I really like the look of it and now the Nex6 is too big for me, I've been thinking about picking one up.

Camera seems OK to me. Probably better than my Nexus 4, but I admit I haven't done a proper comparison yet. Took this shot on Thursday:



From a usability PoV it's very fast to load the camera interface with a flick of the wrist (even from the lock screen or if the phone is turned off!) and there's hardly any shutter lag. I will miss the PhotoSphere function from my Nexus though.

I'll try and post comparison photos shortly.

I'm really interested in this phone, love my Moto G and Motorola's personalisation stuff. Does anyone know if this is available on an o2 contract anywhere - I couldn't see it anywhere.....

Would be a shame to put a real wood or leather back on it and then put it in a case!

Ordered mine on the 15th, estimated delivery 3 Nov, but it's already here. Counting down the hours till the FedEx depot opens tomorrow morning.

You can download the Google Camera app for that.

You can, but it's not without its issues according to the XDA Developers forums.

Here's a camera comparison between my Nexus 4 and the Moto X:

OK, not the most scientific of comparisons but I don't have something like a Galaxy S5 or iPhone to compare with.
