Motorola Moto X 2nd Gen Now In Stock

The release of Motorola’s Moto x 2nd generation has now arrived. Motorola are promising big things with the Moto X 2nd Gen, with a pledge that the handset has been ‘redesigned from the ground up’ since the release of the Moto X in 2013.

The design on the new Moto X doesn’t deviate a lot from Motorola’s usual smartphone design, thanks to its curved back, rounded corners and embellishments. However, the new 2nd Gen Moto X does offer a slightly slimmer profile and a larger 5.2 inch hyper-colourful AMOLED display for a better viewing experience. The resolution has also been improved from 720p to 1080p.

A series of infrared sensors adorn the front of the handset, enabling a series of non-touch gestures. Users will be able to dismiss a call or snooze an alarm with a wave. Whilst this is an exciting addition to the Moto X series, it reminds us of the Samsung Motion Gesture technology available on the Samsung Galaxy S4.

Specs for the Moto X 2nd Gen include a 2.5 GHz quad core Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor, which is supported by 2GB of RAM. High definition movies stream beautifully thanks to the Adreno 330 graphics processor and we also found that games run seamlessly.

Motorola have included a 13 megapixel camera with dual LED flash and HDR mode. We were pleased to see that you can still use the Quick Capture gesture, which allows you to launch the camera app with a flick of the wrists. We also predict that Selfie addicts will love the Best Shot feature which analyses the photos you have taken to suggest which is a better image of yourself.

Like the original Moto X, the 2nd generation has plain Android, with the addition of some smart new features which justify the upgrade. The custom voice trigger of Moto Voice is integrated with What’sapp, YouTube, Facebook and a series of other apps allowing you to navigate your handset with voice commands alone.

A full day’s battery life is once again promised by Motorola, which is always impressive when paired with quad core processors, seamless multitasking facilities and high quality AMOLED displays.
