"Now that the Moto X has been officially announced, we wanted to see how Motorola's latest smartphone stacks up against the competition.\nWe stacked the Moto X up against the Samsung Galaxy S4, the HTC One and the Apple iPhone 5. In a war for specs, the Moto X can't beat the Galaxy S4 or HTC One when it comes to screen resolution or raw CPU power, but it compares well when it comes to weight, battery capacity and camera.\nLike the Galaxy S4 and the HTC One, the Moto X has support for 802.11ac \u2014 the latest and fastest Wi-Fi standard. It also has support for NFC (near-field communication), Miracast wireless video streaming to a TV, and Bluetooth Smart Ready devices (like fitness bracelets).\nOn the storage front, the Moto X follows the growing trend of not including a external memory card. You can get it with 16GB or 32GB of storage.\nOf course, the real story with the Moto X is more about how its software works with the hardware. You can read our hands on for our first impressions.\nGalaxy S4 vs. iPhone 5 vs. HTC One vs. Moto X\n\n\n\nGalaxy S 4\niPhone 5\nHTC One\nMoto X\n\n\n\nScreen Size\n5 inches\n4 inches\n4.7 inches\n4.7 inches\n\n\nResolution\n1920x1080\n1136x640\n1920x1080\n1280x720\n\n\nScreen Type/PPI (pixels per inch)\nSuper AMOLED, 441 ppi\nLCD, 326 ppi\nS-LCD 3, 468 ppi\nAMOLED, 316 ppi\n\n\nWeight\n4.6 oz\n3.9 oz\n5 oz\n4.6 oz\n\n\nChipset\nQuad-core 1.9GHz Snapdragon 600 in the U.S. (8-core 1.8GHz Exnyos 5 Octa elsewhere)\nDual-core Apple A6\nQuad-core 1.7GHz Snapdragon 600\nMotorola X8, Dual-core 1.7 GHz Snapdragon S4 Pro with quad-core GPU and other sensors\n\n\nStorage\n16GB, 32GB or 64GB +microSD slot\n16GB, 32GB or 64GB, no card slot\n32GB or 64GB, no card slot\n16GB or 32GB, no card slot\n\n\nConnectors\nmicroUSB\nApple Lightning\nmicroUSB\nmicroUSB\n\n\nOperating System\nAndroid 4.2.2 (Jelly Bean)\niOS 6\nAndroid 4.1 (Jelly Bean)\nAndroid 4.2.2 (Jelly Bean)\n\n\nBattery (in milliamperes/hour)\n2,600 mAh\n1,434 mAh\n2,300 mAh\n2,200 mAh\n\n\nCamera\n13MP autofocus, LED flash &amp; zero shutter lag\n8MP, autofocus, LED flash \n4MP (\"ultrapixels\")\n10MP, Clear Pixel, LED Flash\n\n\nNetworking\nWi-Fi 802.11ac, 2G, 3G, 4G LTE \nWi-Fi 802.11n, 2G, 3G, 4G LTE\nWi-Fi 802.11ac, 2G, 3G, 4G LTE\nWi-Fi 802.11ac, 2G, 3G, 4G LTE\n\n\nU.S. Price (with 2-year contract)\n$199.99 for 16GB, $299.99 for 32GB\n$199 for 16GB, $299 for 32GB, $399 for 64GB\n$199.99\n$199.99 for 16GB, $249.99 for 32GB\n\n\n\n\n\nMoto X Hands On\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSmartphone to the Power of X\nThe Moto X is Motorola's latest flagship smartphone. Coming to five U.S. carriers in late summer for $199 (for 16GB), it has shares many features with the latest Verizon Droids in addition offering buyers the option of designing their own custom color combinations.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n4.7-Inch Screen\nThe Moto X has a 4.7-inch 1,280 x 720 AMOLED screen.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMoto X vs. iPhone 5 vs. HTC One\nHere's the Moto X (middle) next to the HTC One (left, with a 4.7-inch screen) and the iPhone 5 (right, with a 4.3-inch screen).\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAlways Listening\nLike the latest Droids, the Moto X is always listening for the phrase \"OK Google Now\" and can come alive, even in standby mode, if the owner utters it.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nActive Notifications\nWhen you get a notification, the Moto X lights up only the pixels necessary to show you the notification, saving battery power.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPeek\nIf you press and hold the notification icon, you can see the latest message, without unlocking the phone. Sliding up takes you to the app, sliding down unlocks the phone.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCustom Colors\nIf you order online, there are 18 different back colors available to choose from.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCurve\nThe phone has a distinct curve, but it doesn't feel bulky. Motorola designed a special battery to fit in the unique chassis.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nComposite Back\nThe back is made of a composite material.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSIM Card Slot\nOnly the SIM card slot resides on the right side.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUSB Port\nA standard microUSB port resides on the bottom.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nButtons\nButtons for power and volume are on the left.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMotoMaker\nThe MotoMaker site offers more than 200 color combinations.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPink Backside\nThe Moto X in pink.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLight Blue\nThis is as close as we could come to Mashable blue.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWooden Phones\nMotorola says it's working on a wooden backside, although that option won't be available for a few months.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLet us know how you think the Moto X stacks up in the comments.\nImage: Mashable; Icons: HTC, Samsung, Apple and Motorola"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
