I think the Moto X at that price is still a very good deal. Just know going in that it's an average camera in low-light, but it can take great shots outside, of course. And the battery life is also average. However, with awful reception at home and at work, I've never had it die on me in the middle of the day. It'll last me 4-5 hours of SoT if I'm on WIFI.. and 3.5-4 if I'm out and about all day. It does have Quick Charge capabilities though so that'll help.
But again, at that price it's a compromise. Everything else? I love. I dont' think I can use a phone without Moto Display. Having it pulse and notify me or automatically show me the time and notifications if I pull it out of my pocket or if I wave my hand over it... I've gotten so used to it. It's a great design, the screen is awesome, only one speaker but it's front facing and gets plenty loud, it's fast as hell too. Just know going into it there's not the best battery or best lowlight camera.
This phone with a better camera and beefier battery and it's perfect.
