Motorola has lost its way with the new Moto X models

Posted on August 7, 2015August 7, 2015 by Joe Levi

It wasn’t that long ago when Motorola was bought and later spun off from Google. Motorola is now held by Lenovo. Thankfully for us, much of what Motorola was before the Google acquisition has survived. Motorola’s biggest strength has arguably been it’s great hardware – and its direct-to-the-customer ability to customize those phones – to an extent. However, in 2015, that’s all changed – and the 2015 Moto X makes it look like Motorola that we used to know may have lost its way.In recent years, Motorola highlighted three phones: The Moto E, Moto ...

Moto X Play and Style are winners, except for people who buy the other one

Posted on August 6, 2015August 6, 2015 by Adam Doud

Motorola’s highly anticipated smartphones were finally revealed last week, but it wasn’t quite what we expected. Yes, we did get the Moto X and the Moto G, but it didn’t stop there. Motorola decided to give us, not two, but three smartphones, breaking up the Moto X family into the Moto X Play and the Moto X Style. It’s enough to make you say, “wait, what?” when you take a gander at these two phones. Because after that gander, you start to see something a little distressing.I won’t rehash the specifications for you; you can read about those

Leaked Motorola Droid pics highlight Moto X Play-like design, wireless charging HW

Posted on July 30, 2015 by Stephen Schenck

We were just thinking about Motorola’s plans for Verizon, upon hearing about a couple possible Droid-series smartphones tipped to be in the works for the carrier. With the Moto X Pure Edition not slated to get any direct in-store support from the major US networks, Motorola could really stand to get a carrier on its side, and a new Verizon-exclusive Droid model might be just the ticket. In the weeks leading up to the launch of Motorola’s latest Moto-line handsets we saw

Moto X Play debuts with giant 3630mAh battery

Posted on July 28, 2015July 28, 2015 by Stephen Schenck

That “XGX” on the invitations for today’s Motorola event is finally starting to make sense. We wondered if we’d be seeing the launch of two new Moto X phones in addition to the new Moto G, and Motorola’s already made it clear that it’s doing things a little differently this year, announcing the 5.7-inch Moto X Style. Well that’s one X; what about the other? This year Motorola has two new Moto X models for us, and in addition to the Moto X Style, it’s ...
