The Sprint Motorola Moto X recently received a drop in retail price that is worth reporting. The handset, at least in the Amazon Wireless store online, currently retails for just one penny on contract. That is substantially less than the competition is offering the Moto X for, and that recently reduced price tag comes as a move by Sprint to protect market share heading into the holiday season. As you probably know, most wireless carriers reduce the price tags of popular phones during the holiday season, and Sprint seems to have gotten a jump on the competition in this regard.
Sprint’s 4G LTE system has been rolled out in the United States, and now has nationwide coverage. Sprint says they will continue to add to their network through 2013. The Motorola Moto X has become the flagship phone for Motorola Mobility, delivering a very large display with True HD resolution, substantial RAM memory, a new battery saving Active Display feature, and the ability to understand your voice commands even when it is in standby mode.
Active Display only lights up that portion of your screen which is needed to show a notification, and the new Google Now integration with the standalone natural language processor on board the Moto X means all you have to do is say, “Okay, Google Now” and the handset wakens from standby mode, ready for your voice commands. The screen is a 4.70 inch AMOLED multitouch, capacitive display, with a pixel density of 316 pixels per inch.
Google purchased Motorola Mobility late last year, and has added a free 50 GB of Google Drive virtual storage space in the cloud to all Moto X 4G handset purchasers. The large display delivers a resolution of 720 by 1,280 pixels, and protects that screen with a scratch resistant layer of Corning Gorilla Glass. Talk time from a single battery charge runs 13.0 hours, and the unique Motorola X8 processor package includes a dual core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro CPU clocked at 1.7 GHz, the above-mentioned natural language processing core, a separate contextual computing core and a versatile quad core graphics processor.
Built into the back of the handset is a 10.0 megapixel camcorder with quick capture mode, capable of recording video in 1,080P HD resolution and at 30 frames per second, in stereo sound. A 2.0 megapixel chat cam is facing the user up front, and that rear facing camera recently received an over the air camera upgrade which is available on Google Play for a free download. The handset also offers 2.0 GB of RAM system memory and 16 GB of built-in data storage space. The Sprint Motorola Moto X can be purchased at a discounted price tag starting at just one penny at select online retailers.
