Amazon is currently offering the Verizon Moto X for $149.99, a nice savings over the $199.99 Verizon is charging online and in its retail stores for the new smartphone.
The Moto X is the first smartphone that Motorola and Google worked on together after Google acquired the smartphone maker last year. The handset's standout feature can be found in its ability to use a convenient tool called Touchless Control. The Moto X has special sensors inside that are always on, which allows users to speak commands to the smartphone even while it's asleep. The handset's special sensors and software allow it to recognize its owner's voice and the device will automatically turn on and perform the task you've asked. Another popular feature is the ability to launch its camera application even while the handset is off. A user needs to simply flick their wrist and the Moto X will automatically launch its camera, allowing you to capture pictures quickly.
