After several years of spring and autumn, Motorola returns to this eastern place. Although it is the wife of others, it is still the familiar Motorola. With special back cover technology, powerful customization projects and former prestige, what kind of grand meal will Motorola bring back?
The new Moto X, or the second generation of Moto X, has already been released abroad and has been listed. This time, with Lenovo's acquisition, it has re landed in China, which is a pure Android experience and localization adaptation. This is also the most thoughtful place for everyone. Will Motorola's marriage with Lenovo bring a strange sense of discord? Will Motorola's pure Android experience become acclimatized in China? What about localization?
In fact, these questions have already been answered. Although Motorola is married to Lenovo, Motorola will remain independent in subsequent operations, and there will be no Lenovo logo on the body, but it may use Lenovo App internally to gain a better localization experience. This also solves how to localize under the guarantee of pure Android experience.
In terms of details, the Bank of China version of Moto X is more solid and reliable in packaging design than the foreign version, and is called conscience in accessories.
Although the two logos in the lower left corner are not obvious, in my opinion, they are the most localized projects in hardware. For the current domestic network environment, the new Moto X of the Bank of China version has transformed its hardware to achieve 4G full network communication, that is, it can be used in 2/3/4 G networks of China Mobile/China Unicom/China Telecom.
In addition, the logo of fast charging indicates that the new Moto of the Bank of China also supports the Tubro Charger (turbine fast charging), which is also a standard equipment. This requires a lot of conscience than the foreign version. When using Tubro Charger, the new Moto X can charge for 15 minutes and provide 8 hours of use.
List of accessories of the new Moto X of the Bank of China. In addition to the instructions, San Bao certificates and pins, according to the rear cover material of the new Moto X, there will be different instruction labels, that is, yellow and gray labels on the figure. Compared with the foreign version, the new Moto X of the Bank of China version is equipped as standard with Turbo Charger and Earbucks headphones, which makes its use cost much lower than that of the foreign version.
If you have been following Motorola's trend, you will know this large Tubro Charger charger. In terms of volume, Tubro Charger is relatively large due to fast charging. Tubro Charger has three output modes: 5V/1.6A for standard output, 9V/1.6A and 12V/1.2A for fast output. This means that whether Tubro Charger is supported or not, the charger can be used directly.
Tubro Charger is an additional accessory for foreign versions, which costs 34.99 US dollars, or 219 yuan.
Compared with Turbo Charger, the Earbucks headset is much more niche. Earbud earphones in foreign versions also need to purchase additional options and have a variety of color options, with a single price of $19.99, about 125 yuan.
In terms of hardware configuration, the new Moto X is consistent in both the Bank of China version and the foreign version. The new Moto X uses a 5.2 inch Super AMOLED screen with a resolution of 1920 * 1080. The front surface is covered with a layer of gorilla glass, which has been treated with 2.5D to make the sliding feel more comfortable.
The new Moto X has speakers or earphones with the same shape design at the top and bottom. It seems to be a double speaker design, but in fact, only the bottom is a serious speaker, which is a little disappointing. In addition, under the white front panel, because there are many sensors, the new Moto X has a pockmarked face, which may make many people feel a little overwhelmed.
The new Moto X uses a metal frame design, which is quite rounded, making its grip feel very popular. The right side is the volume key and the power key. The power key has a special texture design, which can be directly felt during blind operation.
At the bottom is the mirco USB interface.
On the top are 3.5mm headphone connector and SIM card slot. It is worth noting that the SIM size of the new Moto X is nano card. Here we have to emphasize again that the new Moto X released by the State Council is aimed at the domestic market, and the most important thing is to achieve 4G full network connectivity.
The new Moto X is the second generation product of the new Motorola, which naturally supports its unique and powerful Moto Maker store. In fact, it is a powerful customization function. Of course, the project will officially launch in China in March this year, when you can experience a strong customized experience.
The new Moto X used for shooting is a natural bamboo version, that is, its back cover is made of bamboo. Before we talk about the touch and texture of the back cover material in detail, let's take a look at the more critical rear camera.
In terms of rear camera, the new Moto X uses a 13 million pixel IMX135 sensor. First of all, the hardware is slightly inferior to the widely acclaimed IMX214. As for the later optimization, we have to work hard. The new Moto X rear camera also has two LED flash lights and a ring design to achieve a more uniform flash effect.
Interestingly, when the new Moto X was released, there was always a rumor that the logo on the back of the new Moto X was actually used as a button to realize the function of fingerprint sensor. Of course, this is just a misinformation. However, Dennis Woodside, CEO of Motorola, said in an interview recently that the new Moto X will initially be equipped with fingerprint identifier, but due to supplier reasons, it can only be cancelled regrettably.
Due to the 2.5D screen on the front, the round aluminum alloy frame on the side, the curve on the back and the material of the back cover, the performance of the new Moto X in the grip feel is commendable. Although it is a little thin and not enough, the new Moto X seems to be refined enough in the trend of pursuing big and thin.
Although the material of the back cover of the new Moto X is very unique and comfortable, for the perfectionists, or the performance in details, it seems more general. Of course, this may be due to the natural wood and aluminum alloy frame materials, or technical reasons, can not achieve perfect joints.
In addition, perhaps due to individual reasons, there are some varnish marks on the back cover of the new Moto X. In brief, the workmanship of the new Moto X in details is qualified, but not excellent. Of course, from this point of view, due to material reasons, the surface traces mentioned above will gradually become more rounded and close to the hand with the use of time, which is the so-called "disk". As for whether this would be regarded as playing fair or not, it depends on what everyone thinks.
In terms of price alone, the new Moto X has a starting price of 2999 yuan for the Vote version when it is equipped with the standard Turbo Charger and the Earbucks headset, which has obvious price advantages over the foreign version. In addition, its 4G full network support is a great blessing for many telecom users. Although its more interesting Moto Maker store has not been officially launched yet, and the back cover material is also slightly grooved, it does not hinder the existence of its feelings and beliefs.
Of course, the above is just a simple experience of the new Moto X, and a more detailed use evaluation experience will be presented later.
