This video shows a tech blogger getting an early hands-on with the new Moto X from Motorola and Google. It’s a stunning phone, and no mistake, but it is also just another phone.
The problem with the smartphone market as it stands today is that the manufacturers have run out of obvious ways to improve the hardware and one-up the competition. So instead the include a ton of features most people won’t ever use.
With the Moto X it’s the hands-free, always-listening feature that Motorola and Google are pushing in a big way. But while tech bloggers are super-excited about it, most people just won’t use it.
The Moto X looks cool, but a new smartphone doesn’t excite me in the way it seems to excite others.
