Custom accent color + a signature on the back

IDK what price range MOTO would put it but its not a competition to XZ, One or One X.

Lower pixel density
720p display
2200 mAh
No expansion slot

Are turn down factors for me.

And, I don't get it, dual core CPU and quad core GPU?! Why?

This may not be a flagship at all. I think it's a Xperia SP fighter.

No expansion slot is a bad thing, but all the others are negligible. There's practically no difference between a 720p and 1080p screens in phones, but 1080p screen takes more juice than 720p. I think the battery will be enough, moreover it's dual-core. The design is amazing.

Great practical phone if you ask me. If priced right.

@ajayritik: Battery life, 720p screen.
And Its already thrashing the S4 in benchmarks.
This is one of the cleverest android phones in a long time other than the Sony SP and ZR.
But priced a bit too high.

LOL. It is priced same/higher than HTC One and S4. So IF (it won't but IF we imagine) it were to launch in India, it would be no less than 37k. And that's the optimistic figure.

Correct.

A price range of 24-27K is justified for this but more than that is not.

the excitement behind the launch of moto-x in india is totally lost on me. moto has never ever taken india seriously........google has only now begun to sell nexus series..........that too not available on major electronics showrooms.

i really can't see this coming to india........and even if it does it will be overpriced like Blackberry z10.

Its customizability options makes it a premium phone more than anything else.

nothing great about this phone as it was hyped , also it will not have good resale value.

was overhyped, true. But in real world usage this is going to own the S4 most probably. Especially in games. My only concern would be battery life. Not that this will ever come to India, but still.
