The Moto X Is Google Inc (GOOG)’s New Nexus Phone

Page 2 of 2

One goal of the Nexus program has always been to disrupt the subsidy model by targeting aggressive off-contract price points. In this way, the Moto X will do what the Nexus 4 before it did. In contrast, the Nexus 4 directly undermined carriers, and only one domestic carrier officially offered it (albeit at artificially inflated prices). This time around, Google Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG) has wised up and is seeking broad distribution with all four major carriers.

It might not be a perfect fit, but the Moto X fills the Nexus 4’s mid-range shoes.
