That sucks, the Moto X was the only high-end Android of a reasonable size.<p>So what's left for someone who wants an Android with good specs, not too big, and not tainted by manufacturer poop?
Sigh, another disposable phone with the planned obsolesce due to kick in at around 700 charges.<p>You'd think if they bothered to let you have a dozen designer backplates they might got the extra mile and let you change the battery.
I broke my nexus 5 AND my old nexus 4 in the span of 4 days while traveling in Hong Kong. I am seriously considering getting this when I return to the US later this month.<p>The only thing that bothers me now is that the nexus 5 is already a little big, and this is even bigger (4.95" vs 5.2"). Unfortunately my hands don't grow as fast as phones anymore.<p>I wonder if this is something I can get use to though, since everyone in Asia is using giant phones, and I did feel the nexus 4 a little small for the 4 days I was using it again.
I'm an existing Moto X user. I guess I'm in the minority here. I like it in <i>spite</i> of its small size, not because of it.<p>The bigger screen on the new model is a good thing, IMO. I can still one-hand most everything and the only thing I need to reach the top left corner for can usually be accomplished with a swipe from the left. Better resolution, more screen real estate, still manageable size. What's not to love?<p>(If you've got small hands, I feel for ya, but just buy something else. Don't hate on Moto for appealing to the larger market preference.)
I'm glad to see the bump up to 1080p. I know some people don't care of think it matters, but I would just love this to be standard. It would make things a lot easier on Developers to have only a few different resolutions to worry about.
Even bigger phone, just great.<p>Edit: there are 7 comments now, and <i>all</i> complained about the bigger size. That means something, doesn't it?
