Moto X (2014) Review: Last Year's Modest Moto Gets A Reboot | Pocketnow

[@TheDark-Knut]

The quality of videos from pocketnow has gone from Awesome to Awesome'r ! Michael Fisher good job buddy! Moto X FTW!

[@NickAm01]

Loved the Star Trek 4 quote...nice touch.

[@Pocketnow]

"A keyboard. How quaint." ^M

[@NickAm01]

Pocketnow Yes! Lol

[@FlintG]

Pocketnow That was awesome with that hello computer quote. :D

[@thefinder8087]

Pocketnow I want a phone made of transparent aluminum.

[@FlintG]

Gregori Lucas no it was star trek.

[@nickackermanchannel]

Michael fisher is a beast at tech reviewing. Great video.

[@malharnagori5221]

damn... you guys make some REALLY PROFESSIONAL REVIEW VIDEOS (i mean... yeah you guys are pros... but damn!) the language, the tones, the videography... this is just great... i know i should be talking about the phone, but the review is pretty darn good, and i though i should comment on that rather than the phone (i am thinking of buying it cause of this review)

[@Faithful-Preservation]

Hello computer? Funny as hell :)

[@stockman214]

I'm a note 3 user, and soon to be note 4 user, but i always enjoy ALL your videos. Big fan. Thanks, michael and pocketnow team. You guys are my first stop for mobile tech entertainment and information.

[@mrzoobidoo]

Michael Fischer is one of the most underrated tech reviewer of today. Another splendid review once again.

[@greenbun]

When you were sneaking up behind it and how you said, "Hello Computer" that absolutely made my day! 😂

[@dd161090]

I love Michael Fisher!!! hahaha... the way he talks... his face... everything... I follow pocketnow just because of him... hahaha

[@ProdByClockwerk]

"A build of four fourty four". This was the best thing about the video. Michael is the beat cell phone reviewer on the planet.

[@ArnelZapataJr]

Sad news on the camera and battery part Iron Man. Hope you guys do a video comparison of this and the new Nexus coming out soon. As always, enjoyed the review.

[@TheOrangeType]

Great, i'm going to have to wait until HD processes. I hate being this early...

[@Pocketnow]

Look on the bright side: at least you didn't waste your comment by shouting "FIRST!" :) ^M

[@manavmogu]

Pocketnow Lol, great one dude!

[@TheDark-Knut]

Pocketnow ha!

[@Isacking97]

Pocketnow Lol Jajaja

[@TrevBec]

The back looks scruffy already. How long did that take?

[@Pocketnow]

Trevor Beckett Not long. ^M

[@nmp244]

I was thinking the same thing

[@TheEndofOblivion]

Those aren't scuffs; they're marks of character.

[@datexasbros]

***** Well it brings up the concern that it already looks like that and to my understanding Michael has only had it for around a week. Makes you wonder what it will look like after a year.

[@mobilespace877]

It gives it character.

[@maulikjain2637]

Oh man @captain2phones a.k.a Michael Fan of ur art of direction and camera handling in video. And the new way of introduction just simply was awesome. Appreciative work HATS OFF..

[@CyborgSodaCollects]

Your editing work in this video Michael is sublime... A+. The 2014 X really does have a great new design, yet there are some questionable elements.

[@pluto762]

Love the transition effects. And, as usual, nice job on the review itself. :)

[@AlainDushime]

This might be Michael's best review yet! Totally loved it!

[@KushalPandya]

"Hello Computer", loving your catchy phrase Michael!!

[@xiondFirst]

10 years later, this is all but nostalgia.

[@GTDDR]

This guy is amazing on every review. very enjoyable to listen, completely satisfied with the information. keep it up Michael.

[@ArjitMehra]

Michael Fisher is the coolest tech reviewer on the Internet,hands down!Top class review as always,Michael! :D

[@MatthijsVanDijck]

I am waiting for the Moto X 2015. I hope they fix the battery and camera, make the dimple less ugly and add a second (smaller) screen size option.

[@PatrickFryer]

Ill be keeping my first gen X. Not digging the non one handed use nor the battery life. Looks like some of the major concerns of the First gen were left behind and only appearnce upgrades have been made. Understandable when a company wants their product to shine in the jungle of flagship devices.

[@GuidoPetruolo]

Great to see a review where Michael is passionate to do. Congratulations for your purchase, is the best Android smartphone today. Whish it had OIS and a larger battery....

[@thejuan718]

Awesome video review as usual Michael, I wish you would do more.. But yeah had the battery been on par with the big guys I might have considered this.

[@franzcharbellsa]

Kudos to Michael for giving an unbiased review even though he is a huge Moto X fan, real professionalism

[@TheIllaman]

Great review! Especially the title sum up perfectly my thoughts on this device

[@karelcarbonneaumontpellier6766]

Michael Fisher is just hands down the best reviewer in KZbin.

[@diegoflores8764]

MKBHD

[@verward]

appearantly android L will be great with battery life. and since moto x runs near stock android the update will come pretty soon after release. so wouldn't worry too much about the battery

[@bogdanvoinea6997]

I like it how you say "Hello computer". Sounds awesome. And speaking of awesome, I can't wait to buy the new Moto X, although it's a bit larger than what I hoped for, it packs way to many cool features not to have it

[@Hundt453]

This is the best review I've seen from Michael Fisher

[@MegpoidNebri]

I'm probably hooked on Motorola right now. After owning the last gen X for 4-5 months, and seeing the new one shine just as equally, I have to say that there is really something about Motorola devices that's charming, and truly great. Not to mention the great devices that are the G, and 360. Motorola is showing signs of that short term Google ownership, and in a really good way!

[@nittinsahu]

Incredible review . Thanks Michael Fisher and PocketNow team !👍

[@Itaintyouitsme]

I love your cinematic reviews *****

[@jamesm568]

Nice phone but late in the flagship game.

[@Itaintyouitsme]

James Meagher I think it's right on time for those who love to customize their hardware. It's really the only device that does that.

[@jamesm568]

otis ellis till a new Nexus device comes out with better specs at a cheaper price.

[@Itaintyouitsme]

James Meagher true but this is a niche device.

[@AbdullMohommedlol]

the mottorola's (I think that's how you spell it) battery life is phenomenal. I saw a comercial saying it can last up to 48 hours

[@Mx._Jess]

and you should believe everything you see on TV, right?

[@AbdullMohommedlol]

Jesse McClure nope , lol XDD

[@SpungeBawb]

+Abdull Mohommed only the 2015 pure edition has that battery, not this one

[@Boss3n]

Very good review. Detailed, honest and unbiased.

[@bezzzzzzzz]

great review as usual, Michael! you are one of the best reviewers along with MKBHD and Joshua.. Moto X is a great product, and I'm glad Lenovo has not fingered with the Moto series in any way

[@nmp244]

Great review Michael as always, hey I was looking for your review on the one plus one and I couldn't find, you never did it? Cause I have plans to buy it and I'm watching reviews, hoping you did one. If not I hope you can cause I trust your opinion.

[@JosephTongret]

As said by many others, the 2300MaH battery just isn't enough for my needs... I really do like the direction Moto has been headed in, and I hope to see them stay on the same path post Lenovo purchase.

[@JulianGesenhoff]

Great Review Michael. Easily one of the Best on KZbin. Keepuothegoodwork!👍

[@eugenem93]

Good review. Love the LOST easter eggs in your vids LOL

[@Pocketnow]

See you in another life, brother. ^M

[@MetasR4Dweak]

Great review as always. I'll be happy to buy one if they could just make the moto maker available where I am.

[@melvinarias1044]

The camera is the only thing keeping me from changing my lg g3 for this phone. That and maybe the battery

[@bizmonkey007]

Now that there's a battery case for this phone (a 4200 mah one, if I'm not mistaken), I can cover it a second look. The Moto X really seems like an amazing phone, but that battery life was a dealbreaker.

[@santoshsalve83]

great video sir. It's a sheer pleasure to watch your reviews...

[@iowaadventures4701]

Is there a camera app in the Play Store that would help with camera settings, to help take a better picture? Great review!!! Now I really don't know which smartphone to get in December. :p

[@zeke937]

Great review by arguably one of the best tech reviewers on the net.

[@zhiguangxue6157]

I just don't know what motorola is thinking, they used to be the leader in almost every aspect of android phone, the customization, the crazily big battery, the Water and dust prove, which are been abandoned by motorola these days, I mean, how hard it could be for them to know people need these things?

[@DrGanja99]

They still have them, they're just on Verizon unfortunately. :(

[@TheJosephPrice]

I never thought the camera on the original Moto X was as bad as you guys, and others have made it out to be. I took some pretty awesome pictures, especially in the spring months. Low-light pictures were mostly terrible, but how many phones take good pictures in low light conditions? I've since switched to a Samsung Galaxy S5, because I wanted a larger, replaceable battery and an SD Card Slot. Despite having a better camera(And by default better pictures) it hasn't been as fun to take pictures. Still though, comparing the two, there is only marginal differences.

[@wazup3333]

if it was the same size as the first one, had a better camera and more memory i would be interested.........

[@DreamerforeverMetal]

If the screen was 4.7 inches and the camera would perform better in low light this would be the perfect smartphone for me. And still no moto maker outside the US isn't cool either. Would love a wooden moto x 2013.

[@RodneyBReynolds]

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm longing to see what the Nexus 6/X will be like. There are 3 phones I'm interested in; G3, Moto X & Nexus 6... Once the Nexus 6 is released I'll make my decision.

[@RodneyBReynolds]

Ronald David Well, the only reason I'm considering the G3 is for the removable battery. I'm not one for bloatware, although from reports it's not to bad on the G3.

[@trapsaw8627]

I want moto x- next nexus will not be on verizon!

[@antoniobonebeatz]

trapsaw the nexus 6 is on all carriers

[@picklickwick]

I like how Motorola puts just enough bloatware in their phones to give them a "different" experience, but doesn't overload them like Samsung does to make them barely recognizable as ever being stock android.. I have the nexus 6, but I might root it and install some of those useful Motorola software integrations considering there is so little its pretty much stock android

[@TofaelTohin]

This is the best review of a phone I've ever seen! Micheal Fisher rocks (thumbs up). Looking forward to Galaxy Note 4 review. And this Motorola should've kept the previous back cover design with slightly large battery! Disappointed :-(

[@lpka]

great, great review.. I think this one was one of the best. (quality, filming and everything in between)

[@OutsideOReality]

I'm not all too sold on the new iteration of one of my favorite phone's I've ever owned... It's just something about the 2014 version that feels almost as if it's trying to drift away from the original purpose of the Moto X. If the updates to Moto Voice, and all the other apps in the Moto Suite get updated on the Moto X (2013) then I would be hard pressed to upgrade.

[@theprophet1474]

Did the battery life get any better Michael?great review btw

[@thatoneguycpr8997]

The moto logo and the camera look awkward on the back, they should have kept those the same as the customizable options, it sorta stands out now.

[@KumarSagar]

Whoa! The fact that you 'adore' this device since the first iteration didn't have any impact on the review! I mean the camera got a real hard bashing, wouldn't you say? But then, it's the one thing that's stopping me from getting the device. -_- I mean how does it stack up against other flagships and the Nexus 5? A camera head-to-head, maybe?

[@Dalex19]

Awesome review as always Michael. Thank you for being so fair, balanced and honest in it, even though we know you are a massive fan (and rightfully so) of the first gen X. I also loved the first iteration, but after watching this, I'm going to stick to my One m8. I'm surprised that the battery is so mediocre. The m8 battery is only slightly larger than last year's m7, but it's phenomenal. The optimizations they did with the snapdragon 801 are amazing, and I'm frankly surprised that Motorola, the optimization king, wasn't able to do the same.

[@enricomdalcompare]

Best choice of 2014 and I think early 2015. I'd love to say "Hello Moto" to wake it up. And I love active display and new motovoice. Gr8 job. Only wish they kept the 4.7 display, but anyway

[@abdullahafridi7947]

Would be awesome if they bring a fingerprint scanner to it. Place right where the Motorola logo is on the back.

[@Lansky1213]

Great review as always! I wish this phone was for WP but I'm getting it any way to back up my 1520. Oh and the moto 360

[@joefrancis7881]

The best reviewer on KZbin.

[@FlintG]

I would like to see how the iPhone 6 camera goes up against this phone. If its better than the moto x I may consider just going for the iPhone 6 128gb version.

[@281674]

"Hello computer" I love it :) Trekkie's for life!

[@dynastes4938]

I am really sad about the battery being that small. There really should have been more room for a larger one here. Otherwise this looks to be a near-perfect device. But if it won't last me a day, there is really no point in getting one.

[@stanulrik9112]

I've been looking for a good review of the Moto X, this one is perfect! Great job

[@mixsignal91]

Phone looks absolutely great! Even better then the original but I must say I feel like this time the battery was a mistake. Moto surprised everyone last year with the moto x great battery life but this year it doesn't seem that they've been able to pull the same trick. Love my Z2 for its amazing battery

[@adamsengdamalae3514]

I'm glad it's Micheal, not Taylor

[@antoinemonod3530]

A great review (as always), however poor battery life (for today's standards at least) and mediocre camera performance are a real bummer IMHO. Michael, would you actually buy the phone if you were not a tech reviewer? (Because in my case, I sure won't).

[@Mchurtzpwnz21]

If the leather back gets worn can't you just remove it ? I mean you could just buy another back plate right.....?

[@c3vzn]

I don't understand how Motorola could only manage a 100 mAh increase over the 1st gen when the phone was enlarged so much. This a company that shoved a 3500 mAh battery into its 5 inch Droid Maxx. If the phone was too thin for a larger battery then nobody would've complained if they increased the thickness by 1mm for substantially improved battery life.

[@marlonhoyte5285]

Highlights include: Hello Computer™ ; "Jacob (other)"

[@mze7101]

To me i prefer a compact config that previous moto x offered while still having 4.7in display....this yrs model seems a lot harder to handle in one hand...

[@chavezjackson896]

Great review! Currently have a note 3 and looking to upgrade to either this new moto x or the note 4 not sure now because I like the features of moto voice but I also like the features of the note 4 as far as multi window is concerned. Both seem like great devices not sure which one ti choose

[@mehrmehta3963]

Good filming great job Michael!

[@Rasec280494]

Captain2Phones is the best reviewer!

[@NickKmett]

Hmmm. Deciding between the Note 4 and the 2nd gen. Moto X.... not an easy choice! Still using my old GS3 that I preordered back in the day, so no question I need an upgrade. Just gotta pick which one! Any thoughts?

[@mcmiloy3322]

It's kind of sad Motorola went the mainstream way of manufacturing smartphones. Last year's model was so unique.

[@FeistnFlink]

Love that you sneek in Concerts :)

[@SewerShark]

Well, The camera part of a phone, to me, is mostly irrelevant. I mean, I DO take pictures with it when my camera is not around or when I need to send it right away to someone. But other than that, I don't need a great camera on my phone. A nice camera will do. BTW, I'm looking forward to buy this phone.

[@pratikkhandelwal2208]

Pocketnow I just love ***** for his review. He covers every aspect in his review. As always great review from him. And what i love about pocketnow is that this channel do their job very well with whatever resources they have, you guys are not racing for 4k like other tech reviewers. Some reviewer have lots of resources with them but their reviews are just not up to the mark.

[@ornamentalpotato]

I should have guessed Pinback was going to make it into this video, just like all the other ones. 😆

[@AlexanderRuiz]

As always, great review, Michael!

[@chrispy44573]

There are rumors that the next Nexus due to come out during halloween season may be based off the new Moto X; Similar to how the Nexus 5 was base off the LG G2

[@Zeiss120]

So for the 1st time I was gonna do a dual phone thing. This and the Note 4. Was really excited when Moto Maker for 2nd gen Moto X launched and went right ahead to make my own when I was sorely disappointed that all that we can purchase is unlocked GSM or AT&T models:( By the time the Verizon version is up I might lose interest in picking this phone up.

[@ShellymanStudios]

I love pocket now.

[@Titan500J]

This is the video that got me to drop Blackberry and try Motorola, the Moto X 2nd gen. I loved it. Since then my wife and I have had 6 Motorola's the latest version the Moto Z3. I've tried other phones and some are excellent but I like my Moto's.

[@humayun176]

hmmmm i think moto x should have stayed true to itself ....regardless, a really really nice review by the best reviewer on youtube

[@BLueBLaze100]

Best youtube reviewer period

[@speedfiend925]

HA! Pocketnow, guess that camera wasn't so bad eh? How does it compare to the Nexus 5 camera? :)

[@jimmyjw88]

As usual, love the review and if my nexus isn't new, I would get this for sure!

[@bigoddo]

I all wanted from my moto x was a bigger screen, video highlights, and a ff speaker so yea this is my dream phone

[@saschaBman]

love this review its informative and fun to watch thanks for that!

[@Demorthus]

Great review Michael!- as always!

[@avp300]

As usual, great review..Thanks Michael..

[@AndroidAntill]

Hey Michael, have you tried the new turbocharger for your moto x gen 2? I was hoping someone could review that as it's something that's not talked about, yet it can charge the new moto x to 80% in 15 minutes and I'm hoping someone can review that soon, cause that will be a huge advantage for me.

[@CezarCociorba]

Great video and nice transitions

[@gaivoron]

OK Michael your neighbors must love you! 4:12
