Released during the last quarter of 2013, the Moto X is an android smartphone from Motorola that is part of the mid-range market. With better specs in terms of software and camera, the unit packs a good performance while sporting a sleek design.

According to GSM Arena, its sleek body is made of durable plastic, which results in the device being lightweight. It is available in black, white, red, turquoise and royal blue. It comes with a 4.7-inch screen, which is sufficient for taking good pictures. With its size, one can easily hold it with just one hand. It also comes with a nano-coating, making it water-repellant. But users should still not try to submerge it in water as all it can take are little droplets, as in the case of intermittent rain use.

It comes with 2 GB of RAM and a built in storage of 16 GB. Although expandable storage is not supported by this phone, its specs are good enough for regular usage. Its 4.7-inch AMOLED display gives you a pixel density of 316 ppi, making pictures pop out like images comparable to high end phones. Its touchscreen is quite responsive, making it easy to text. It is a single SIM phone that supports 3G, but it does not support LTE. It comes with the standard connectivity features such as Bluetooth, WiFi, GPS and EDGE/GPRS. It runs on Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean. However, it is also compatible with Android 4.4.2 Kitkat.

One thing that makes the device stand out is that it has options for customization. You can choose from 18 rear panel choices, accents in several colors for the camera lens' ring and accents that can be found around the buttons of the volume and power. You can even customize a message to be etched on the phone's back. However, this option is only available for subscribers in the United States.

At a price of $533.31, it is an affordable smartphone that comes with overall solid specs.
