A smarter smartphone

Synopsis

Paul Taylor discusses the new Motorola X smartphone, which is the first device designed from the ground up since Google acquired Motorola 14 months ago. Despite not having the largest screen or the fastest processor, the Moto X features a clean interface, a comfortable curved case, and excellent battery life. It incorporates low power, always-on sensors that enhance user experience, allowing the phone to wake up with voice commands and take pictures in just two seconds. The Moto X combines voice technology with Google's online services, making it a smarter smartphone that appeals to a wide range of users. It is set to launch in the US later this month, showcasing the direction Google aims to take in the mobile handset market.
