Top 5 Smartphones to Consider Before Buying the Galaxy S4 [June, 2014]

Moto X

The Moto X will get replaced this summer but that shouldn't mean much to those that are looking at a mid-range phone like the Galaxy S4. The Moto X is getting older but it's a device that is certainly on the Galaxy S4's level in terms of hardware and software.

Motorola's flagship not only comes with an affordable price tag, it also comes with a very solid camera, smart software, a beautiful display, and a fully customizable design thanks to the company's Moto Maker.

Moto Maker allows users to alter the look and even the feel of the device. Motorola includes several wood back options that give the Moto X an extremely elegant look.

For the price, it's being sold for a penny at Amazon, the Moto X is a smartphone that should be considered by all smartphone shoppers, not just those looking at the Galaxy S4.
