Has anyone here switched from the moto x to the nexus 5? What are your thoughts and are you thinking about going back? I got my nexus on Tuesday and although I've always had nexus devices this one is just OK, so I've been thinking of trying the moto x.

Moto X has a more immersed Google Now and no KitKat. I think this Nexus will have more Google Now support via CM11. It's possible via our Snapdragon 800 chip.

I had both and returned my original nexus 5 because the Moto X has much better features and better in hand fell. I would have kept my moto X hands down until I won a nexus 5 at that point i returned my Moto X for a full refund saving almost 700 dollars. IfI had to pay for both of these I would buy the MOT X especially now with thee discounted price
Been thinking about picking up an X and return this N5. So disappointed with this device.

I would've gladly paid another 100 for the nexus 5 to be a premium phone.

Ill give you a solid review as im a in love Moto X owner and now a in love Nexus 5 owner.
Moto X
The screen has better contrast, saturation and viewing angles
Active Notifications make me want to come back
Solid, thick build quality. Feels premium
Speakers are LOUD and vivid.
Touchless Control is a plus
Nexus 5
Large 5in screen is nice
Super fast and developer support
Speakers suck, low and raspy
Super light weight, but cheap build feel
Cheap phone for what it offers
The Moto X will get kitkat soon, which will make it even better of a phone, however most of the Nexus 5's faults should be improved upon by software\rom\kernel support.
I've had both and think the nexus 5 crushes the moto x. Not impressed with the moto.
Galaxy S4!!!
Just picked up the N5 yesterday and sold my Moto X. The moto x is an awesome device with many great features but at the end of the day I love the support and Dev community of the nexus. Love the lightweight as well as the grippy back. At first when coming from the x the n5 screen looks washed out but after using the n5 looking at the x screen, it looked over saturated. Both great devices but I choose the Nexus 5.

I've recently been thinking of switching to Nexus 4 i've been doing research and all i read is positive feedback but i want to know if it would be worth it to change from an HTC ONE X to a nexus 4 , whats better
The N4 is undobutedly better but why upgrade from a One X? The hardware of the One X is still good, IMO it's not worth upgrading to a N4. Spend some time reading then flash CM10.1 and you're good to go.

Well the HTC updates take FOREVER . and i OTA updated to JB like an idiot i have Rogers HTC ONE X so it upgraded my Hboot and build so now i can't flash any ROMS but the sense roms i have Viper XL 3.1 but you cant use anything else really so it really sucks.
One x is still good but nexus 4 outclasses it in every way except the camera

nexus 4 forever
Where would i buy it infront like not on google play where i have to wait 2 weeks of shipping ?
Nexus 4 has a awful camera comparing to one x.
Nexus 4 has a inferior screen... You will feel the difference as soon as u get it.
nexus 4 has is developer community and cheaper price. So u get what u pay for..I can put it that way.
Not a bad deal in the end.

Take into consideration the fact that the Nexus 4 has a glass back - in case you're likely to drop it a lot!

If you don't buy the N4 from the Play Store then there's no point in buying it at all. The brilliant thing about the N4 is that you get so much for such a low price, if you take away the value for money then you end up seeing that there are probably better choices available.
I've just ordered a N4 myself from the Play Store, but I currently have an HD2 so it's a pretty huge upgrade. As for the person who said 'Nexus 4 has a awful camera comparing to one x' and that it has an inferior screen, they're just exaggerating. The N4 camera is more than adequate, and not significantly worse than those on the One X, SGS3 and iPhone 5. The screen of the N4 is a bit odd (15:9 rather than 16:9 without on screen buttons) but has a higher pixel density than the One X's and probably equally good colour reproduction.
If latest Android update is most important to you, go for it.
Keep in mind you are losing LTE though.
I'm in the market for a new phone and I've been looking at these two phones and I am really torn between them. They both have good battery life and I like the feel of both of them. The only down side about the moto x for me is that I can't use the moto maker option for Verizon which is depressing. So I basically just want to hear from people who have had hands-on with these devices and would be will on giving me input to help me out. Anything would be appreciated thanks!

Got the LG G2 recently and I'm completely happy with it.
Be patient and wait for Nexus 5. Nexus 5 > g2 + moto x

Got an LG G2 for the wife and me. Been amazing so far. I have always used Moto but this phone sets a new bar.
After seeing all these phones at the end of 2013, the Moto X has some sick features. Is there anyway to flash a rom with those features or can I just get most of them through the play store?
Which features you looking for?

He's looking for Active display, Moto Assist, and Touchless control.
You can get them all from the play store. Omni ROM has Active display. The rest are available on the store.

They are only compatible with certain Motorola devices so you can't just download them from the play store like that.
@kyco16- Those aren't just software features, some of them take advantage of the actual hardware of the X. The touchless control is made possible by the X8 chip, and Active Display takes advantage of the AMOLED screen and uses one of the low power cores of the X8 chip as well. Yeah, there are similar apps available now but they just aren't the same. You want Moto X features? Get the Moto X. I have one and there has never been an Android phone like it. Seriously the best smartphone ever made, without a doubt. Motorola just dropped the price too. $399 off contract for 16gb.
@_MetalHead_ I meant knock off features. The copy cats. They have similar apps in the play store.

Hey guys, I was wondering how many of you have upgraded to the HTC one from the moto x? Ha anyone else done the same? Do you regret it?
Sent from my XT1060 using Tapatalk
While I didn't come from the MotoX, I absolutely love this phone! Came from a LG G2 and Galaxy Nexus and have not looked back once!
Came from note 2 personally and I just miss the screen size and the virtual unbrickability (just made a new word yay). This phone is phenomenal although the moto x is too. May sound weird, but I'd stick with the moto x for a bit more until maybe even next years phones. This year there aren't that many technological advances. I have good hope in next year's android phones (64bit fingers crossed)

Hey guys.
The thing I just want to know is: Is this a good time to buy a Nexus 5?
Because with all these rumors of the Nexus line being discontinued and replaced by Android Silver I don't know what to think.
If I knew there was a new Nexus coming out in October or so I would wait, but if I knew that the Nexus line was going being discontinued I would defenetly buy a N5 this instant.
What do you guys think?
Nexus 6 will come out, just won't be a LG device

You can wait or you can join the party now on XDA with an awesome Nexus5 device!
Life is short. Time is fast. Enjoy today. Tomorrow is mystery.
Rumour has it November will be the time for new Nexus....
No one knows anything for sure. Any answer given would be pure speculation

I can't say anything about a new nexus but I'm pretty sure the're be a new one latest rumours say it is a Nexus 5 (2014) and some rumours say its a 5.9 inch Nexus 6, I can't tell if its better or not, but if you're looking for the speed of next nexus, go for the nexus 5 it is already REALLY FAST even if they add more ram and a better processor I'm not sure that will make it faster, at least not noticeable in everyday usage, and as for the camera, NEVER found a problem with the Nexus five camera while using HDR+, but I was used to a 5 megapixels camera, and if you manage the battery right you won't find a problem.
