I've searched for this, but couldn't find it. As per blog.gsmarena.com/mot…ow/
Moto X 2nd gen should be available for 229 from midnight June 17th till 6 July, 11:59 p.m. They extended the sale! Save through 6 July, 11:59 p.m.
They also say that 32GB willl be available for £269.
Even Nexus 6 will be getting some price cut. But it will not be cheaper than what it is already at Expansys, etc.
Thanks to sebbo90 for letting us know about the sale extension!

Improved, yes, perfect no. It takes decent shots and it is noticeably better than when I originally got it. It is now ok imo but if you really want the best camera this is not the phone for you.
Yes it is worth it in so many ways I don't even know where to begin.
Having 8 cores is a marketing trick and 615 in blade is a mid range processor while 801 in Moto x is a high end one. Simply put in almost every situation 801 is better than 615 (because processor speed is not dependent only on the clock speed and number of cores). (A good comparison I have read somewhere once is that 615 is 8 skinny people wrestling against 4 bodybuilders, that would be 801). Also 8 cores will use more power than 4 so you would get shorter battery life...
It is similar how you have snapdragon s801 with 4 cores at 2.5GHz and Intel i3-5010U with 2 at 2.1GHz and s801 doesn't stand a chance, simply because the architecture is completely different, as 801 is designed to work with far less power and without a fan...
But processor is not even the main advantage, the screen is, Moto x has 1080p screen while blade 720p which is a huge difference.
The awesome software tricks are also a great bonus as well as design and build quality.
Just Google both phones and look at their respective reviews for further reasons if this is not enough.
To cut the crap Moto X is (or was) a flagship high end phone, while blade is mid range, overpriced and badly reviewed phone which I wouldn't recommend to anyone.
While I still have to meet a person who is not happy with his Moto x...
Is this true as I thought it would have done as even her Moto G has one.
16gb is not enough and the 32gb version would be a bit too much.
So annoying if it does not.
It doesn't have an SD slot. It has stopped me looking at the phone as I really need one.
If 16gb is to small and 32gb is to big what size memory card were you going to put in? Strange logic.
This is very tempting. I've been wanting to move from my Moto G 2nd gen and the Moto X seems so good, especially for this price. And I've been looking to change networks so I could get a Nano sim and adaptor for later phones...
Damn it. Maybe next month. Heat added.
I'm guessing they mean't it would be too much in terms of price, although the 32GB really isn't much more.
The intent behind this post is correct but the analogies and assertions are just plain wronga or misinformed.
Battery life on octocore processors are not worse than quad cores simply because more cores equals more power consumed. This is totally false. Typically octocore processors have 4 "lightweight" cores and 4 "heavyweight" cores. The lightweight cores are utilised when the o/s makes calls to the soc for non performance reliant tasks e.g. swiping left or right on the uI or displaying the lock screen or running voip or running backgroubd tasks etc. The heavyweight cores come into play when the o/s makes calls to the soc for applications that are performance dependant like games or script heavy webpages or applications that need the horsepower to even launch.
In this regard octocore socs are more efficient and therefore extend battery life significantly compared to quad cores while remaining competitive with higher clocked quad core. Higher clocked quad core socs (particularly those that don't scale performance well) use more energy to perform the same tasks. Additionally the interrupt requests made to the soc by the o/s to maintain background tasks actually decrease performance on a clock 4 clock comparison e.g. All applications need to make calls to the soc and share the resources - this includes background tasks which means on a quad core the utilisation on performance tasks goes through the roof as the cpu has to supply capacity to all applications across 4 cores where as on an octocore the capacity is split between the two core clusters.
Now you take an old v8 engine and put it against a new v12 and whilst the performance is more or less the same (the v8 has a higher rpm tolerance or "clock speed" with less capacity) the economic performance throughout the day will typically result in the v12 running for longer on the same amount of fuel. Why? Because on am old v8 without a cpu, the fuel injectors send fu2l to all 8 cylinders all the time regardless of whether there is a need to or not.
If people are going to talk about specs then all th8bgs need to be considered if specification is a driving force in the purchase.
One of the reasons apple hasn't simply upgraded the pixel density in the iphone is that the sum of the parts measures the quality and because of this the iphone still has one of the best displays despite having a lower ppi. Other manufacturers go for the numbers game because people that are a bit naive to technology but like to brag about specs say things like "my phone is 4k where as the iPhone is only 720p" or whatever........ makes you send like an idiot for those that actually know what they are talking about.....
Thanks for posting OP.
That Jiaya looks great IF you are happy to stick with the version of Android that it comes with. You won't see much in the way of OTA updates or even roms for Mediatek chipsets. At that price you probably won't care as you'll upgrade handsets regularly.
Moto X might get Android M. LG has no plans for the G3 to get Android 5.1 (though some have speculated it will go straight to Android M - surely that is unlikely). The Jiaya has 4.4, and the website says 5.o is an update option (why not ship with it then?), but the chances of M - bupkis,
Why not theres one made from grass
