what's going on guys a marklin second from TechnoBuffalo and today we'll be giving you guys our full review on the Moto X second-generation we've been using the phone for about two weeks now and I think it's time for us to share our final thoughts just over a year ago motorola introduced original moto x a different kind of smartphone than anything before it you could customize it to your heart's desire through motorola's moto maker and it was packed with innovative and user-friendly features that a lot of people really enjoyed even though it didn't pack the beefy aspects it provided a really nice experience that still holds up to this day the new Moto X has the same name as last year's phone and carries over a lot what made the previous Moto X great when it comes to the hardware the new Moto X features a 5.2 inch 1080p AMOLED screen that looks absolutely gorgeous above and below that are dual front-facing speakers it sounds incredible it's packing a 2.5 gigahertz quad-core Snapdragon 801 processor 2 gigabytes of RAM and comes in either 16 gigabytes or 32 gigabyte of internal storage it doesn't offer expandable storage which isn't a big deal to me but it may be to some it's running android 4.4 at launch it will be upgraded to android down when it's available and it also has a slightly better 13 megapixel shooter on the back that can film 4k videos it also packs a slightly bigger 2,300 milliamp battery and comes in either black or white with numerous customizable back panels and accents now our review unit came in black with a black leather backing I'll be honest I hated it leather at first but after about a week or so it definitely grew on me so I'm going to break this review down into two sections what I like about the phone and what I don't like so much about the phone so let's start off with what I like about the phone the new 5.2 inch screen is gorgeous it's sharper brighter and just nicer to look at when compared to the last year's model it's got great viewing angles and can be seen in bright sunlight without any issues the build quality is great to the metal frame and buttons that surround the new Moto X feels great and the new leather material makes a new Moto X a much more premium phone than ever and I'm glad that Motorola tried to keep the phone's footprint as little as possible like last year's model for context it's just a tad bigger than the nexus 5 which we consider to be the perfect form factor Motorola also included a splash guard coating to protect your phone from water but it's not waterproof by any means the dual front-facing speakers are loud and sounds great though it's not as filling as something like the HTC one's dual front-facing stereo speakers now the four new IR sensors on the phone which activates moto display and supports gestures like moto action is also a really cool feature that I'm sure a lot of people enjoy just wave your hand over your phone and it'll show you the time and or any notifications you have waiting for you unfortunately moto display only shows three notifications at a time which isn't all that great but definitely much better than just having one notification displayed just like last year's Moto X for example now with moto action you can silent an incoming call or alarm by just waving your hand over your phone it works but not as accurate as we thought it would be moto asus is still present here it'll basically change your phone's behavior based on the time of day whether you're in a meeting or going to bed and there's also the new motive voice which I really like a lot this is a really new to Motorola fans or Android in general but this year Motorola made it much more customizable so you could say something like hey dude and it'll activate your voice control right away and you can set alarms reminders send messages or even status updates to facebook now all of these moda features you can tweak to your liking and Motorola made everything simpler by just putting all these features into one app another thing I like just like last year was that it comes with an almost stock Android experience of course but a few of motorola's app built in now everything about the phone is fast it's much smoother and much more responsive than ever now let's talk about what i don't like about the phone first let's talk about battery life battery life is probably the most important one to me especially coming from using a one plus one where the battery lasts for an entire day or two the Moto X second-generation lasts about a full workday and I know that may be adequate for some people but a wish motorola would have spent more time improving the Moto X's battery life which is inferior to devices like the HTC One Galaxy s5 and the LG g3 the second one on my list would have to be the camera I wouldn't say that the camera is bad by any means but it's not a whole lot better than last year's model it's really fast almost as fast as my iphone 5s which is great but images are still grainy and blurry and medium to low light in broad daylight on the other hand shots were crisp saturated and punchy but it's still lacking overall focusing is also a bit unreliable which can be pretty annoying and the new ring flash around the Moto X's camera isn't all that great either it looks cool but not any better or any different than any other smartphone flashes we've already seen so to wrap things up for you guys and given the new Moto X a technobuffalo score of 9 out of 10 there's really not much to complain about this phone its fastest specs are top notch and the overall build quality and form factor is perfect the camera is good but we wish it was much better and battery life should be more than enough for the average Joe anyways that's it
