The glass on the front of the device cascades around all edges, so as you swipe across it, your finger feels nothing but smooth bliss. ![]() Even the massive, clear camera ring and housing is growing on me at this point. The metal frame makes the device both look and feel very high-end, something that couldn’t be said on the original. If you go with a leather back, it feels soft and pillowy in hand. It fits perfectly in your hand, just like last year’s model did, thanks to special care taken by Motorola. ![]() Aside from it growing in size because of its 5.2-inch display and Motorola tossing in a really awkward-looking “M” logo on the back that looks like a button or a token for an arcade game, there is nothing I would change about the appearance. I absolutely love the design of the new Moto X. This is our Moto X (2nd generation) review. So did Motorola get it right again? Let’s find out. They also tossed in a 13MP camera, premium metal frame, and added options like Leather to Moto Maker, but managed to keep a phone that looks and acts very similar to last year’s model. With generation two, Motorola has gone with a bigger 1080p display, because that’s what their research showed that people want. So what happens when Motorola takes what it created from last year’s best Android phone and tries to improve it in all areas, especially those two we just mentioned? You get the Moto X (2nd generation). With its below-average 720p display and mostly-terrible camera, the overall package still bested the rest of smartphones in the game, thanks to its perfect size, Moto Maker customizations, and incredible software add-ons from Motorola. ![]() Last year’s Moto X earned “ Top Android Phone of 2013” honors from our staff even though it had some pretty major flaws.
