the Moto X's camera isn't all that impressive. Its colors look washed out, many shots look like they were processed with a surface blur filter (that pasty appearance we mentioned), and it doesn't capture as much detail. Apart from poorly-lit scenes, we'd...
Abstract: There are a lot of really great smartphones on the market today. With various manufacturers competing for their slice of the smartphone market, there are a lot of factors to consider when shopping for one of these high-end phones. Although some consume...
Abstract: Ruling the Android landscape with an iron fist, the Samsung Galaxy S4 is arguably the poster child for the platform, seeing that it has amassed such a huge following in the time it has been released. Entering the scene, the Moto X is trying to bring b...

It's a matter of preference, but it's hard to compete with the big guys. It will probably beat none of these in sales. The general consumer tends to go with the popular choices, from manufacturers like Samsung, HTC and Motorola. This does not mean the G2 ...
