  • Or they COULD just roll out to all pure edition devices at the same time
    No, that’d be too logical.
    Let’s roll out to the rain forest first .-.

  • Never experienced any lag on my PE. Running 5.1 for 6 weeks with no issues.

  • I doubt I’ll even bother with this update when it hits the US. 5.0 was so buggy on my Pure Edition that I finally gave up and installed a the Nexus Experience ROM. They left us sitting in bug land for way too long. That things work bug-free and lag-free for me. Since ROMs can use the IR sensors and full gestures, I’m able to get all the features I want from the stock Moto X in just slightly different packaging. Unless Moto’s OTA heads into new territory, I don’t want to play in that pool again. My next phone might not even be a Moto after the trouble’s I’ve had with 5.0.

  • Too late hot plate. Already switched to a Galaxy S6 Edge that works infinitely better than my Moto X 2014 Pure Edition. I still my my Moto X, but after it gets 5.1, I will be selling it. My Pure Edition ran insanely slow on Lollipop and when I saw that carrier phones were getting minor updates over the Pure Edition, I got a bit upset given how laggy my phone was. Much happier with the S6 Edge.

    • “Insanely slow”
      Riiiiiiight. Even if that is true, it didn’t occur to you that it might just be a defective device? No quad-core 2GB device has any excuse to be slow except for hardware defects.

      • there are a lot of software problems in Lollipop. There are 32+ pages of discussion about 5.0 problems on the Motorola Forums for the Moto X. Curious what you think after watching the video. This is not really Motorola’s fault so much as it is Google and memory leaks and other issues with Lollipop. Kit Kat ran flawless on my Moto X.

    • You have a while, considering it’s the older model and AT&T. Even Verizon will probably update more quickly, considering their track record with Moto X updates.

  • Chop flashlight is awesome. So far, this has been a very good build for the X14. Most stable so far.

  • Random question, but …

    Is there any word on whether Motorola will make a follow up to the Nexus 6, but not as a Nexus? In other words, will Motorola make a plus-sized premium phone to add to their current lineup from now on?

    • They have the Moto X Pro which is a non nexus Nexus 6. Unfortunately I don’t think its available in the US.

      • I thought they made a Moto version. Thanks for reminding me what it was called. My question though is whether or not Motorola will release follow ups to that device on an annual schedule like the rest of their lineup. I’d be tempted by it. I guess no one knows.

        • That’s what I’m hoping for as well. I’m good with my Nexus 6 for now. But I do hope for a phablet version for the moto x series going forward.

  • I broke my AT&T Moto X 2014, got it replaced directly through Motorola, they sent me a Pure Edition (which is nice), it’s a joke how much the coverage and LTE suck on this thing compared to the AT&T version. Makes me glad I didn’t spend all that money on the Pure Edition.

    • My coverage has been nothing short of amazing with my P.E. I’m almost never without LTE. I’m on Cricket. Possible phone defect? LTE bands are exactly the same except 29 which is not used in the U.S. (maybe? not sure about that)

      • I don’t think they’re the same, I read conflicting reports about what bands are on each version of the phone but I’ve never read anywhere that says they’re exactly the same. 5 being the one that is most crucial which from what I see, the PE does not have.

        • I’m just going off of Wikipedia which says that they are the same except for LTE band 29. Take that with a grain of salt though. But as I said earlier, i use Cricket which is the AT&T network and I’ve had stellar coverage. I was scared to switch coming off of Verizon, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised. Sucks that your coverage is worse, but IMO it should be the same. I would at least consider the possibility that the phone may be defective. Just my 2 cents.

        • The PE is missing a couple of bands. I went from ATT, to Cricket, to TMibile (finally got coverage in my area.) With Cricket I never went out of LTE, with ATT Go I did. With T-Mobile 90% I am in LTE, so I haven’t missed anything.

    • You may have something defective. I’ve been using the Pure edition since day one on AT&T and have never had an issue with coverage or LTE

  • I like the chop twice for flashlight. Been using that for a couple months and it’s very nice when stumbling out of bed in the middle of the night! (or stumbling to bed after a late night)

  • Article says “chop twice” launches camera. You mean flashlight, right?
