DROID ULTRA vs. Moto X

[cuddles]

It's Motorola Mobility's own little Widget. Also has a weather widget and your alarm clock feature on the home screen to make it easier to set up.

Most phone companies are going to the CLOUD system, where you store most of your stuff in the cloud. Amazon is doing this for music, you don't need to keep songs on your device so you could access more of your library on the cloud too.

Nice comparison. I think a BIG deciding factor for potential buyers is that the Moto X is the first phone that MotoGoog have created in collaboration with one another. This probably means that, even though these are the same phone for all intents and purposes, the Moto X will likely receive Android updates in a more timely fashion.

These AMOLED's also have an extra color, CLEAR which makes WHITE look WHITE, unlike Amoled screens on a Samsung, the White looks more like Grey. It let's more light in to make white look white.

Honestly, that's kinda the way phones have been heading for awhile now. Samsung is one of the last high-end phone manufacturers to still offer that. Believe me, I prefer the SD card slot, but phones are getting enough storage space on them that it's becoming irrelevant.

by the way i think it is a Kevlar unibody, just that they they applied a layer of lacquer on it

[RaulMeza]

I really hope that a GPE of the Moto X gets made.

I love the design and other things about Moto X, the only downside for me about it is the camera software. It's nothing compared (for me) with lumia 925, gs4, lg g2, and htc one.

Love my moto x. Don't care about no SD slot. 32 gigs is plenty plus every I do for business get sent to my PC. Times have changed.

It's Kevlar, not plastic.

Kellex (as well as every other media site) is incorrectly calling it plastic.

That "textured look" isn't a look. It is an actual texture of the composite weave beneath the laminate. This is what all synthetic composite fibers look like when they are laminated; they appear 3D. This is how you can tell the difference between real fiber weaves and cheap 2D prints (e.g. Samsung).

Droid Zap is available on Google Play. I have it on my Droid Bionic. It can work with any Android device running 4.0+.

It is kevlar. They put a UV coating on the back.

[cuddles]

You said Ultra didnt have wireless charging but the phone even shows it has NFC which lets you wirelessly charge. Maybe mispoke about that feature.

[cuddles]

And what I've seen NFC is built into the batteries. Which allows the wireless charging, I will have to check Moto's website to see what the real spec's are since some reviewers mistake the information when they aren't reading off a piece of paper.

[jaworskis]

NFC and wireless charging are completely different features. if you want the wireless charging you have to pay the extra $100 and get the droid maxx

[JustinWinker]

Swipe down and tap the flip icon - it's still there, but it's moved to where Stock Android has them.

[cuddles]

You can buy a external case for the iPhone 5 which adds Qi charging ability. I'm sure someone will make the same case for the Ultra phone.

[twilightyip]

Yeah, but the Droid Ultra is exclusive to Verizon! :D
Only thing is you can only get the White or Black version right now.

[lukebukowiec]

the front looks good, but the back looks really plasticy, id much rather get the droid maxx finish on that thing

[dhaze]

Moto x for me. It just looks and feels better in the hand personally. Plus the x8 computing system is in both so is the 720p super amoled display so it's all good. Also a bonus you can customize the crap out of the moto x so that's awesome. Definetly would recommend these phones to the average consumer who is new to android or wants the close to stock feel. Not to the tech nerd such ad myself although if cheaper
