The S400 is a dual core Krait 300 with Adreno 305 graphics. And nobody seems to think the Moto X uses an S400. And there was a brief time we hoped it was using an S600 (quad core Krait 300), but that seems to have been proven incorrect.

The rumor is it's just a dual core S4 Pro using the older Krait cores.

It is dual-core Krait 300 with Adreno 320, Brian even talked about it on twitter. Qualcomm naming is confusing I give you that.
APQ8064,8960=Krait 200. APQ8064T/Pro,8960Pro/T=Krait 300.

I'm surprised to see so many people dismissing the Moto X out of hand after hearing only the specs. True, specs matter, but it's not the only thing that matters. It's possible to have excellent specs and a terrible software experience. I would wait for initial reviews and/or a personal demoing of a unit before making a judgment.


honestly i could not care less about the CPU specs and such, as long as its better than my galaxy nexus (which it is_

however i will NOT get a moto X for the single reason that it does not have a notification LED

that 1 fact alone is a deal breaker for me

I don't know, I kind of like the on-screen notifications that the Moto X will have. The blinking light on my G nexus doesn't exactly tell me much.

The Galaxy Nexus had quite possibly the worst notification LED of all phones. It took way too long to blink, so you had to stare at your phone for a solid 5 seconds to see if the LED was actually blinking.

Yeah the N4 is like this, it's ridiculous. Must get round to changing it.

there is no way in hell thats worth 100 dollars from a manufacturing stand point.
but i guess its no different than apple charging 100 more for 16 gigs more storage

That increased battery life is significantly noticeable if you use your phone a lot. Back when I had a Maxx I was never worried about battery life. These devices are so much more enjoyable when you know you can use them to your heart's content and still make it home that night with plenty of juice left.

I get what your says. 100 is worth it to you.

Im just curious how much more it actually costs them to make a maxx over an ultra

There have been multiple CPU-Z screenshots. It's Krait 300. The fact that it runs at 1.7 GHz is proof enough of that.

That's good to hear I think. Though I'm confused now. If it has Krait 300 cores, why are people calling it an S4 Pro? Not sure what it would be called though, because the S400 is the dual core Krait 300 but has Adreno 305 graphics. The S600 has 320 graphics, but quad Krait 300s. Perhaps we need to invite the Snapdragon S500 name.

I am pretty disappointed that the Droid Maxx isn't basically identical specs with the Galaxy S4 but with a 3500mAh battery. That's all Moto had to do to have the best phone of the year and they blew it. I am not the tiniest bit interested in upgrading from my Razr Maxx HD to the Droid Maxx. Going from dual core krait to dual core krait and 720p to 720p is lol

Yeah no point in upgrading from a Razr Maxx HD to the Droid Maxx although IF I was in the market for a new phone it would definitely be the Droid Maxx. Love that battery in the thin form factor! I still don't understand why other OEMs aren't doing this???

It puzzles me too. Unless Moto has some hidden monopoly on large, non-replaceable batteries (they don't) then every OEM should be offering it.

Umm...Have you guys heard of Lightflow???
I use Lightflow and have never experienced the problem both of you are describing.

Yes that app is awesome. I wish the controls were built into Android kinda like CyanogenMod? The fewer apps I have running in the background, the better.
