Motorola MOTOLUXE Review
Share:
The in-call audio quality that the Motorola MOTOLUXE delivers is way over the average. Just like we could hear the other party loud and clear in the earpiece – with no hints of digitizing or background noise present, we were easily heard and understood on the other side of the line. The built-in loudspeaker is also loud enough for a pleasant hands-free conversation.
Out of the 1,400mAh battery that the MOTOLUXE comes with, one can expect getting four and a half hours of talk-time on 3G, or a little over 16 days in stand-by. The stand-by time figure does not bother us that much, but the amount of talk-time that you get is well below today's standards, which is quite disappointing.
Conclusion:
So, is the Motorola MOTOLUXE worth the $380 or so that it retails for off-contract? Well, it may be a good-looking smartphone with a solid construction and a slim profile, but the poor performance of its hardware is something that we cannot overlook. Frankly, we think that you will be better off picking a smartphone from yesteryear. For example, the LG Optimus Black or Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc, both of which have slim bodies, spacious displays, and better hardware specs, currently cost more or less the same as the MOTOLUXE.

Not bad The overall design is nice but i think they should have clocked the processor to 1GHZ or a bit higher.

the only things i like about this phone is the design and the widgets it comes loaded with. i hope they come to the future builds of ICS for all of Moto's phones.

remember the old gold motorola razr flip phone? i wish motorola used that as an inspiration. if you want to associate the word "luxe" then it should look and feel like it. not another boring black brick.
