It was widely expected that the Nexus 5 from Google would also include the always on listening feature as seen on the Moto X, since the Snapdragon S800 processor has a dedicated core for audio processing while barely sipping any power. While the Nexus 5 does have the ‘Ok, Google’ feature, it only works on the home screen, and not when the device screen is turned off.
As it turns out, there is more to Motorola’s Touchless control feature than what meets the eye.
If you woke up this morning planning to buy a new Moto X for $349 in Motorola’s Cyber Monday sale, then you’re probably feeling a little frustrated right about now at your lack of a new smartphone. But don’t worry — you’re not the only one.
It turns out the deal has been so popular that it has crushed Motorola’s website.
Amazon is currently offering up some incredible smartphone deals for Cyber Monday, so if you’re looking for a new handset on contract, you don’t want to miss them. A number of high-end devices, including the LG G2 and the HTC One, are just $0.01 upfront for a limited time, while Google’s new Nexus 5 will cost you just $10.
AT&T has officially announced that it will be offering Motorola’s flagship smartphone of 2013, the Moto X, completely free of charge on any of its 2-year contracts to celebrate Cyber Monday. This promotion will be available tomorrow, Monday, December 2, at 00:01 PST.
As from today, Motorola’s first budget-friendly Moto X variant, the Moto G, is available to pre-order on Amazon. The handset will ship on Friday, December 6, so you will definitely have it in time for Christmas. Pricing is exactly the same as it is from Motorola itself — $179 for the 8GB model and $199 for the 16GB.
