More claims about Google's Motorola X phone: huge battery, Sony camera sensor and Kevlar

exactly....no Nexus, no deal for me

Personally, it won't matter if it's Nexus or not. The main thing is that it came from Google.

59. RomeoJDR posted on 02 Feb 2013, 09:51 2 0

It matters. After Google acquired Moto they decided not to update the Photon and Atrix to ICS despite being less than a year old. Google's chief engineer acknowledged some people getting a "raw deal," and at least was honest about why although being a lame reason. He stated they didn't have the resources available to work on updates to those models and focus on future models. How Google lacks resources with their endless bank is beyond my comprehension. So, the only way you can count on making it through you contract with an up to date phone is for it to be labeled Nexus.

Sniggly it's good to see you. I haven't read a post of yours in quite sometime. Keep up the good work maybe PhoneArena.com will hire you. I wouldn't mind that one bit.

Kudos to you for the heads up information. You have PEAKED my interest on this phone!

Do you know if it's going to be a Verizon exclusive or will it be available on other carriers as well?

I do wonder what processor they are going to go with. It would be a little early for the Snapdragon 800 (if the Qualcomm roadmap is true). They have the option of pairing up with Samsung, but so far only Chinese manufacturers have used the Exynos chipset.

56. Berzerk000 posted on 02 Feb 2013, 03:11 0 0

Wasn't the S800 supposed to be available in Q2 though? That means it should be available in mass production for the Razr X in June/July. Or was it the S600 that would be available in Q2?

Either way, I wouldn't mind having the 600, or even the S4 Pro, but being the first device to have one of the top chips of the year would give them a better fighting chance against Samsung.

I'm almost 100% positive they will go with Qualcomm though. Maybe Nvidia, but I doubt it.

i really hope not. I really despise the whole Motorola/Verizon exclusivity relationship. It puts too much power in Vzw's hands, and allows them to neglect devices. If they were available across all carriers, then all carriers are pressured to update their devices.

I dont want a Verizon experience.
I want a Google/Motorola experience.
Im on verizon's network, but I want my device to able to openly operate on worldwide GSM/LTE networks. Will Playstore availability suggest this possibility?

lol....hey...it is what it is. I'm sure Moto knows it too.....especially if this is true.

Rumors sound good so far. All I know is any phone that has a sealed battery has be be in the Maxx bettery size for me. I dont know about 128GB of storage. I have seen phones with lesser specs across the board be priced $299 on contract. We will soon see tho. Would be nice..

If thats true......would they have models with less storage? If so....16GB or higher for me. I would try to get 128 model if that does happen.

My source is usually pretty accurate. Noted that some of what he told me is speculation and rumors, and the model he's using is definitely not complete (he mentioned the screen quality not being up to par with the current Motorola models, indicating they just threw a screen on the device so he could see what he's doing) but most of it sounds at least doable.

Also, imagine what a category buster the phone will be if it's really shipped with 128 gigs of internal memory.

Forgot to ask him about the edge to edge display. I don't think he'll necessarily know what processor is being used, but I'll ask next time. All I and he know is that it's a quad core.

Nonsense, I have a DNA and it's a full 5" and it fits in my pockets easily without a hitch. My girlfriend has the SGS3 and that is 4.8" and she has no problems using it, in fact I see lots of women with SGS3's and they couldn't more happier. My mom has the Galaxy Nexus 4.65" screen and that phone is rather large for it's screen size almost the same footprint as the SGS3. No one has a tablet at 5", that's just too damn small to even make sense.
5" is probably the best size for 1080p and viewing pleasure in a super smart phone any bigger and you'll be a Note Pad.
Side note, I can actually put a Galaxy Note 2 in my pocket. I just don't like the size of it next to my head when answering a call, but it is a cool piece of kit.

I guess in your haste to criticize someone you did not see the last line of my comment that stated "I guess that that is just my opinion though". Please before commenting on someones comment please read the whole comment that was made. TY

55. Commentator posted on 01 Feb 2013, 22:37 2 0

I'm pretty sure he's aware that whatever you post on this website is your own opinion. What, so if he sees "I guess that that is just my opinion though" he's suddenly going to change his mind?

Also, in your haste to defend yourself, did you only read the first word "nonsense"? Because from what I can tell that's the only part of his comment that can be construed as critical. Everything else he writes documents his personal observations, and are hardly pointed criticisms of your opinion.

I kinda agree with him tho that phones are getting too big. I tried a GS3...and that might be the absolute max size I could deal with. Its a tad bit longer and wider than my RAZR. My Maxx HD is almost the exact same size as my RAZR.

And Archos had a 5" tablet a few years ago. The Dell Streak....the 5" phone in 2010 that came before the Note.....some sites called it a phone, some a tablet.

While I'm certain that Motorola could leverage some market share gain worldwide if they put out the right devices and said devices work well, I would point out that Motorola only needs to sell enough devices to be profitable for Google.

Wish that they would use the blur like in the JB of the RAZR MAXX HD with few twicks only

40. Sniggly posted on 01 Feb 2013, 11:46 3 0

At what problem?

Are you saying that new phones shouldn't have better specs than old phones?

47. MorePhonesThanNeeded posted on 01 Feb 2013, 14:15 2 0

Obviously he is like Benjamin Button and things flow in reverse for him.

Yea...what problem is he talking about?

49. InspectorGadget80 posted on 01 Feb 2013, 16:40 0 0

but they say it's only for Verizon no one here in THE U.S. will get one

51. Sniggly posted on 01 Feb 2013, 17:00 0 0

There is actually no indication so far that this phone will be a Verizon exclusive. I mean, I didn't ask my source, but all other information points to the phone having an unlocked version at least.

I don't see how it could be exclusive to Verizon and have all this input from Google. Google isn't with that lock down carrier business, they are all about getting their product into many hands as possible, so I think that might be mainly rumor. Besides I see Google taking control of Moto and making the same phones available across the board for carriers, reducing the R&D and strain on supply with too many variations of the same phone. This could be the phone to change all that.
