My Views on Moto G, Moto X and Moto 360

So early morning Motorola went public with the updated Moto G and X and also announced the Moto 360 watch.

I will cover off my thoughts first on Motorola. The Moto G is a well priced, competent android phone. Stereo speakers, better camera than last year all in a larger screen. So the overall profile is larger. In fact the display PPI has dropped due to the larger sized screen. It is a shame it has got bigger and I personally thought the first version was the perfect size for most people.

The Moto X. A customisable delight. Much better camera, infra red sensors to detect motion which in turn activates the screen and or off and more. I like the optional leather backs but £410. Seems like it should start with £300 ish.

Moto 360. This watch has lived up to its expectations. Except its battery life is shocking. Max of 24 hours. That maximum of 24 hours. Typical is less. So for me this watch is dead in the water.

Overall, everything announced was reasonable. Nothing set my world alight. What did you think?
