My personal little review.
WINNER: The Snapdragon 800, dont matter what you think this is something else, this is truly amazing
RUNNER UP: Full HD IPS 4.95" 1920x1080 display (445 ppi) it get to look pretty. This is top notch.
LOSER: Battery, expected with great screen and cpu but MOTOROLA could lend NEXUS some tricks. 3hrs screen time is plenty for 1 day moderate use. Seems to me that Nexus 4 was better.
RUNNER UP:Software... KitKat looks great but some minors bugs in GAPPS is just not acceptable IMHO, this should the one thing on the one phone that should be perfect. I ask my self "people test this?" is nothing major but is annoying. I found little problems on my first week of use.

this is one of the issues with android when compared to iOS. people pay (much) more for iphones because "annoying" factor is, admittedly, much less. couldn't like iphone though since apple sticks to the policy of < 5" phones, and they won't allow you the expansion of the storage (iphones with large storage is too expensive, IMO).
