Moto X review

Moto X

Motorola is back with one of the best designed and built phones we’ve seen in a while — and it’s customizable. (Eventually with wood!) But it’s got one seriously disappointing feature, too.

Once a year or so you get one of those smartphones that’s supposed to change everything. Maybe it’s so full of features it’s hard to know where to start.

It alleviates some concerns we’ve had with other devices — battery life, namely — while falling short in other areas. But at the end of the day, does it really represent some sort of paradigm shift in the Android smartphone space?
