**Moto X Review: A Balanced Android Experience**

The Moto X is a quad-core processor clocked at 2.46 gigahertz, as claimed by Motorola. However, according to the device's specifications, it's actually clocked at 2.5 gigahertz, making it a potent performer in terms of processing power. The GPU supporting the device is the Adreno 330, which should provide excellent performance for gaming and other graphics-intensive tasks.

The Moto X comes equipped with 2 gigs of RAM, which may seem relatively modest compared to some of its contemporaries. However, this should still be sufficient for most users' needs. The device features a 5.2-inch AMOLED screen with a Full HD resolution (1080p), which should provide vibrant and detailed visuals.

One notable feature of the Moto X is the slight yellowish tint that can be seen on the screen out of the box. This may not be a significant issue for some users, but it's worth mentioning as a potential drawback. The device ships with Android 4.4.4 (KitKat) and will receive the Android L update, according to Motorola.

The Moto X has an internal storage capacity of 16 gigs, which is relatively generous considering the lack of a microSD card slot. This means that users are limited to the onboard storage, which can be disappointing for those who require more space to store their files and apps. However, it's worth noting that the device comes with a decent amount of free space out of the box (approximately 9.5 gigs).

The device is powered by a 2,300 milliampere-hour battery, which should provide reasonable battery life for most users. I'm still testing the battery life and will post my findings in a separate video.

The Moto X features a range of sensors, including gyroscopes, accelerometers, and gravity sensors. These sensors are essential for providing an accurate and responsive user experience. The device also supports USB OTG functionality, which allows users to connect external storage devices or other peripherals using a USB On-The-Go cable.

I tested the USB OTG functionality by connecting an external hard drive and accessing its contents using the ES File Explorer app. This worked seamlessly, allowing me to browse and access files on the device without any issues.

The speaker on the Moto X is a front-firing mono speaker, which may not be as exciting as some of the other features on this device. However, it still provides decent audio quality, especially considering its size and design. I tested the speaker by playing a few videos and listening to music, and was pleased with the results.

**Benchmark Scores**

To give you an idea of how well the Moto X performs in terms of processing power and graphics capabilities, I ran some benchmark tests on the device.

The Quadrant test scores were impressive, with a result of 21,754 out of 30,000. The CPU scored 4,472, memory scored 17,230, I/O scored 6,227, GPU scored 5,093, and Display scored 3,509.

The Antutu benchmark test also yielded excellent results, with a score of 44,585 out of 100,000. This is an impressive achievement, especially considering the device's processing power and graphics capabilities.

I also ran the Geekbench 3 test on the Moto X, which revealed some interesting results. The single-core CPU scored 976, while the multi-core CPU scored 2,911. These scores are respectable, but not exceptional compared to other devices on the market.

**Conclusion**

Overall, the Moto X is a well-rounded Android device that offers a balance of performance, features, and design. While it may have some minor drawbacks, such as the lack of a microSD card slot and limited battery life, these are relatively minor issues compared to the many strengths of this device. If you're in the market for an Android device that's both powerful and affordable, the Moto X is definitely worth considering.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhi there this is ranjit and i have this 2014 edition moto x and in this video we'll be looking at the benchmarks and also we'll be looking at the usb otg functionality and this new moto x is a fairly powerful device with a powerful processor and to show you the specs let me switch on cpu z application and as you can see it is powered by a snapdragon 801 soc which is a quad core processor clocked at 2.46 gigahertz motorola says it's clocked at 2.5 gigahertz and it's a quad core processor regarding the gpu it supports the adreno 330 gpu so even for gaming it should be pretty good regarding ram it has 2 gigs of ram the screen is a 5.2 inch screen it's an amoled screen and it's a full hd that's a 1080p screen but one thing to note is that uh the screen has slight yellowish pinch in my opinion out of the box it comes with android version 4.4.4 that is kitkat and motorola has said that this device will get the android l update uh regarding internal storage uh it's sick this one is 16 gig model we also get a 32 gig model but that is not available as of now in india and regarding the internal storage it's a little bit disappointing because we don't have any micro sd card slot so it's the storage is what you get and out of the box out of that 16 gigs you just get about 9.5 gb and the battery is also sealed inside it's a 2 300 milliamp hour battery i'm still testing the battery life so can't comment on it yet i'll post about it in a few days and these are the sensors so motorola did not skimp on the sensors and we do have quite a bit of sensors like the gyros sensor even the gravity sensor is there so let me just get out of this and i also ran all these benchmarks so let me show you the scores now and to start off this is the quadrant and as you can see our device got a score of 21 754 which is actually a pretty good uh score for quadrant and uh as you can see the total is 21 754 out of that the cpu got a score of thousand four hundred and seventy two memory is seventeen thousand two hundred thirty nine i o was six thousand two and seventy seven two d is five zero nine and three d graphics is two two seven two i also ran the popular antutu and here also as you can see we got a very impressive score of forty four thousand five hundred and eighty five which is actually pretty impressive uh i also ran geekbench three and here for the single code we got a score of 976 and for multi-core we got a score of 2 911 which is again a very good score i also ran this graphic benchmark and i ran it on high quality this is epic citadel this is useful for gaming and on high quality we got a score of 59.7 fps and i also ran it on ultra high quality and here we got a score of 56.8 which is again a very good score so for gaming this device should be pretty good regarding multi-touch points i tested it again it accepts all 10 multi-touch points and some of you were asking me about usb otg functionality yes usb otg functionality works on this device you don't have to install any special software to make it work but again as this is a moto x device it's sort of a stock android experience it does not have a file manager so i would suggest that you just download this es file explorer from the android play store it's free and you just plug in a usb otg cable like this i have some videos on this and we'll access it and just open the file manager for example this is the es file explorer and from here if you go to this menu you can access the external storage for us that is the usb desk and as you can see these are some of the videos and i'll just play them and i'll just use the default video player and as you can see it plays it without any issues again the speaker is only uh here this is the speaker uh this is not the speaker so it's a mono speaker but it's a front firing speaker so the audio quality is also pretty good i'll also just play one more video this is again a 1080p video and as you can see so usb otg functionality works out of the box without any issues you have to just use a file manager for me the es file explorer worked pretty well and the best part is that it's free to unmount it you just go here and go to the settings and from the storage if you just scroll down you have this option of unmounting the usb on the go just click this press ok and now you can remove your usb otg cable so that's it for now for this quick video on this moto x i've also posted several other videos on this moto x so make sure you check them out thank you for watching this video this is ranjit and i hope
