Moto X (2014) vs HTC One (M8) vs Apple iPhone 5s: specs and size comparison
Motorola finally unveiled the successor to its Moto X flagship! It doesn't come with the fancy "Moto X+1" name that we initially thought it would be, but that's not stopping the smartphone from being a slight, but more-than-welcome improvements to the older Moto X. It has a 5.2” AMOLED display with a resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels. This works out for a pixel density of 423ppi, which puts the just-unveiled Moto X in the higher tier of the smartphone segment.
It has a 5.2” AMOLED display with a resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels. This works out for a pixel density of 423ppi. A Snapdragon 801 MSM8974-AC (similar to the one of the Sony Xperia Z3) churns the gears at 2.5GHz and turns the second generation of the Moto X into a powerhouse. The 2GB of RAM on board also add up to the whole picture. Lastly, a not-so-impressive 2,300mAh battery can be found at the back of the device.
