The Moto X runs an only mildly tweaked version of Android. It's basically Jellybean 4.2.2.
03side by side
The Moto X will be available in black or white, but you'll also be able to customize your own on Motorola's website. You can choose from two front colors--black or white--18 back colors, and 7 accent colors. The accents will be the buttons and the ring around the camera lens.

It uses the Android-standard micro USB port for charging and data transfer.
05back
The composite shell on the back is curved to fit your hand. To take advantage of the extra space created by the bulge, engineers created a stepped 2,200 mAh battery.

The 4.7-inch AMOLED display packs 316 pixels per inch. Technically "Retina"-quality, but 10 ppi shy of the iPhone 5's screen.

All variants of the Moto X have a SIM card tray, which accepts the teeny tiny Nanosim.
08camera
The rear-facing camera is 10 megapixels, and uses a proprietary RGBC sensor Motorola calls "Clear Pixel." It features an array of white pixels whose only job is to pull in more light. The company claims that this increases light sensitivity and allows the camera to shoot faster and in lower light. It captures 1080P video.

The front-facing camera is a 2-megapixel job, also able to capture 1080P video.
10back
The composite back cover is available in two textures: Woven (shown), and smooth (which is, you know, smooth).

The Moto X is not much different from the iPhone in size. Which is good because the big phone thing is getting way out of hand. GET IT? OUT OF HAND!
12woodback
Though not available at launch, Motorola plans to offer wooden backs as a customization option, claiming the amazingly anachronistic distinction of "first wooden cellphone." All of which is awesome.
