At the heart of the device is Motorola's "X8" chipset, made up of a dual core Qualcomm S4 CPU, a quad-core Adreno GPU and two more cores that the company calls its "contextual core."</p> <p>While it may sound nerdy, Moto X's ability to understand its role in the world around it at any given time is something that Motorola hopes will be a major selling point to consumers who might otherwise opt for an iPhone or the latest name brand Android handset from the likes of Samsung.</p> <p>A key part of Moto X's hyper-awareness is its ability to constantly listen for its owner to say "OK, Google Now," which wakes up the phone and activates the Google Now voice-activated personal assistant.</p> <div style="width: 529px; height: 254px; " class="article_img"><a href="/web/20131102183634/http://www.gizmag.com/moto-x-hands-on-demo-motorola-google-android/28557/pictures#2" target="_blank"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20131102183634im_/http://images.gizmag.com/inline/motox2-3.jpg" width="529" alt="The Moto X is loaded with sensors to allow it to be constantly aware of its environment"/></a></div> <p>Gizmag was on hand at the official unveiling of the Moto X in New York this week and I was given a walk-through of the phone's "touchless" features and overall contextual awareness.
