The Moto X used a single kind of screw (which means you don't have to go rooting for multiple driver heads), but was less thrilled with the hard-to-access battery.

The Moto X continues the trend of fusing the digitizer to the display. This is relatively standard at this point, as it reduces the weight and thickness of a phone. Unfortunately, this also means that to repair a cracked screen, a user must also replace the digitizer, which could increase the cost of repair. Still, in 2013, this is the norm.

The only real negative about tearing down the Moto X was getting it open. Motorola applied an adhesive under the back cover that made actually opening the phone a slow process.
Thee internal design of the device was very good.
