Its not as fancy as it sounds... essentially its just a dual core S4 pro with adreno 320 (2 cores for the CPU and 4 cores for the GPU)

 

That accounts for 6 of the 8 cores they are talking about... the other 2 are low power chips used for very specific tasks ( one for the always on mic and one for monitoring orientation/movement)

 

...at least that is what I gleaned from the article

Anyone else excited that it is "Assembled in USA"?   I am not sure how many people on this forum are aware where the items they purchase are made - it's a big deal for me.

Not to mention the poor radio performance they threw into the Photon Q. Definitely not the Motorola king of RF I grew up with.   Sent from my little Note2

I always prefer a choice.  I educate myself on the options and pick the option that best fits my needs.   It's a complex discussion.   For the most part, the biggest issue with products made in US

How would you guys feel if customization was an AT&T exclusive? I sure hope it's not!

 

Also, if I wanted a customized phone (not just a black or white model), I'd have to order it directly through Motorola. I'll probably just get a black one, meaning I could order through Sprint. 

 

August 23rd is the big day!  :twitch:

Wow only $199 off-contract? This phone with T-Mobile's Simple Choice plan would be such a bargain!

I wouldn't bank on that.  Even if it is suppose to be a mid range device, I expect it to be in the $300-400 full retail since its going to have a big screen and still decent specs.

Since it's using an older processor I would hope it'll have svdo/svlte, yes no?

It does for SVLTE but not SVDO according to the FCC docs but its not because its an older processor though.

Okay so Leo Laporte got me super excited for this phone today. He has seen and used the Moto X and even though he signed a NDA he gave some very obvious hints. He said some of the leaked specs are wrong and there are A LOT of features that haven't been leaked. Somebody called in about getting a phone today on the Tech Guy Show and he said I cant say why but wait until August 1st like 10 times. Then he bad mouthed Samsung and HTC its got me wondering.

Where can we see FCC doc?

Here is the FCC link.  This is the Moto phone that is rumored to be the Sprint version of the Moto X phone.  If you look at the RF Exposure Test Report on pg. 3, it tells you the functionality it supports and it clearly states only LTE Band 25 (1900 MHz) support.

And, FYI, some of these redundant Motorola X threads are going to be merged or closed.

Holy crap the phone is a fail.

 

What a waste of time

Tell me how you really feel :P

 

The only thing I'm disappointed in is the price. $199 + 2yr. So ~$550.

Only thing? Thats sort of important though?

 

You can get better phones for cheaper. With removable batteries, wireless charging and expandable memory. Higher res screens, and faster processors. For cheaper.

 

This phone offers absolutly nothing.

 

Is it even tri-band at Sprint? Im going to guess not.

Well that's exactly what I'm saying. This is a $300-ish phone, not a $550 phone. Perhaps we're seeing the "made in America" price, as opposed to cheap overseas labor?

Yup, if youre going to sell us last years phone, then use last years price.

Has anyone definitively made the connection that this is the same Motorola handset we saw in the FCC OET several weeks ago? No tri band, I suspect so.

This, coupled with the new Sprint press release today makes no mention of triband, I think it's definitely safe to assume that the new MotoX may be the last Sprint smartphone of significance to be single LTE band. Not an honorable distinction. What bad timing for Motorola on the Now network.

Given that certain features are exclusive to AT&T, I think that Motorola is just happy to be on something other than Verizon! I don't think that they care too much for Sprint or TMo.

      Was true in my market. Likely means a higher percentage of 5g phones in your market.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Unable to confirm if it's really off but I noticed this morning that I'm no longer connecting to Band 41 on my home site. Switching my phone to LTE-only pretty much always put me on Band 41 since it was the least used band on T-Mobile's network. Now I'm only able to connect to Band 2/66. Not complaining because it means speeds are faster on LTE and maybe 150MHz n41 is around the corner.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.
