hey guys Brian Bennett for cnet com and right now we're taking a first look at the Moto X but on the hybrid carrier republic Wireless and what's really interesting about this moto x version on public wireless is that they are offering this phone for a very low unsubsidized price of 299 so if you're going to try and get that phone unsubsidized off contract say you know it's for tmobile or some other carriers it will cost you pretty much twice as much 599 so you can also get it at you know AT&T Sprint and Verizon for 199 but you know you saw up the you know commit to a two-year contract but as you can tell it's essentially the same device and it's running Android jellybean 4.2 too so in addition to the active display which shows notifications on the screen without waking up the entire phone you'll actually also be able to use the touchless control feature which enables you to wake up the phone or you know basically search and initiate voice commands just by saying the phrase ok Google now it'll also do the quick capture feature where you can twist the phone in your hand a few times and pull up the camera I'm Brian Bennett this has been a first look at the Moto X on republic Wireless it's available now for 299 an unsubsidized price off contract
